GOT Nail Challenge: Ruffle

Today is a ruffle manicure, I haven't actually tried doing a ruffle set of nails before. Not too bad for a first attempt but the lines aren't exactly straight. The polishes used are older again:

ELF - Fluorescent Pink - August 2010
ELF - Punk Purple - October 2010
ELF - Medium Red - February 2012

Nails: St. Patrick's Day 2014

Way back in 2011 I did some St. Patrick's Day nails (here and here) then I did some Pot of Gold ones in 2012. That brings us to last year and the nails that I did were a little bit of a stamping disaster here. Finally these are my 2014 St. Patrick's Day Nails:

Stamping Plate: MoYou 94

This particular stamping plate is from MoYou, it is backed which helps stops the sharp edges from cutting you, which is a good thing for clumsy people like me.

The stamping plate has seven images in it and all of them stamped really well, I was concerned that the Ying Yang symbol would be difficult as I have some problems stamping large deep images but this worked fine.

I got this plate for the ankh symbol really but I do like the other images. Something which is annoying for me is stamping plates which have foreign symbols on, and that would be fine if they had a translation for it as I really don't like to wear something on my nails I don't understand the meaning of. In this case the symbol as far as I can tell is the symbol for 'om'.
