Swatch: Avon - Opal Top Coat

This is similar to a flakie polish, however the pieces are thicker and can stick out a little bit, nothing a topcoat won't smooth out. It seems as if it is bits of hand cut glitter in a clear base.

 Colour: Blue and Green in Clear Base
Finish: Flakie
Opacity: Two Dabbed Coats Shown
Brush Type: Standard
How Much? 12ml

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 220 (BM220)

This stamping plate is from the second Bundle Monster set, from 2011. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp.

This is the final fully french tipped plate from this set, as with the other four I haven't really had any use from this because I can't work the french tip stamping! I like all of these designs, especially the stars, and as you can see they all stamped well.
