SIMPLES: Saran Wrap / Clingfilm

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

So week 4 and the task to master is the Saran Wrap / Clingfilm method, I prefer 'The Bag Dab' which is essentially the same thing, albeit with a plastic carrier bag rather than the saran wrap / clingfilm. You can see my tutorial for 'The Bag Dab' here, and here are some of my examples:

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 302 (BM302)

Review-Bundle-Monster-302-BM302

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other stamping plates.

Review-Bundle-Monster-302-BM302

This plate has 2 full nail image and 4 single images, as you can see they all stamped across really well. The holly image would lend itself very easily to make a festive nail decal too.
