SIMPLES: Accent Nail

The Crumpet has a new challenge going, to help teach nail art from the simple to the master.

So week 1 and the task to master is the Accent Nail, which is very simple to do. Choose a nail (usually the ring finger) and paint it differently to the other nails, I often have two accent nails. Here are some of my examples:

Dolphin Accent

Stamping Plate: MoYou - 101

Recently MoYou have really started to re-brand. I have used the brand before and have purchased plates from them before, you can see those reviews here, here and here. This plate was sent for reviewing purposes, which won't effect my opinion.

As you can see the plates come in a cellophane package and have a blue plastic layer to protect the plate in transit. The plates are fully backed as well with the website address, this is useful as it also means no sharp edges.

 Below is the images stamped on to white paper. They all stamped well other than the eyes on the left of the photo, this seems to be a problem with me not being quick enough at stamping though rather than a problem with the plate. These are quirky designs and something different from the floral and filigree patterns typically found on plates.

On to the nails which I have done using MoYou 101:

Green Eye Gradient

Owl Nails

Evil Eyes

MoYou 101 retails at £4.99
