Colour: Denim Blue
Finish: Suede, Semi Matte Metallic

After a quick look through my collection the only polish similar to this one would be Max Factor Odyssey Blue, although this is matte where as the Max Factor isn't.

SIMPLES: Multi Colour Dots

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

So week 7 and the task to master is the multi coloured dotting method, I still struggled with making the dots random! Here is my example:

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 305 (BM305)

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.

There are 3 full nail images and 3 single images on this plate, a really good one for Halloween. Below is a design I did using this plate:

Colour: Purple, Blue, Green

Finish: Multi Shape Glitter in a blackened base
Opacity: Three Coats for full opacity, but you could layer this
Brush Type: Standard
How Much? 0.5fl oz (15ml)

GOT: Yellow

I don't remember when I got W7's Sheer Yellow, but I first posted some nails using it in September 2012. I decided to try out the dots within dots technique as it was something I was practising for the SIMPLES nail challenge.
