Nails: Remembrance Poppies

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 
At the going down of the sun and in the morning 
We will remember them.
- Laurence Binyon

I have done remembrance nails previously in 2013, thought it was time to wear poppies again.

Born Pretty Texture L001 is a rectangle stamping plate with seven full nail images and seven larger images. It comes in a cardboard sleeve, hard plastic backed and with a protective blue film over. The theme for the plate is as the name suggests based around textures, so marble etc.

Review-Stamping-Plate-Born-Pretty-Store-Marble-Texture-L001-#46961

All of the images stamped across well. The plate does marble effect very well. It is a larger sized plate which means the full nail images are 1.5cm by 2cm.

Below are some nails I have done using the plate;

Review: Born Pretty Store - Ur Sugar - Spider Gel - UR-01 White [#45820]*

Born Pretty Store is stocking this URSugar Spider Gel and this is in the colour black. It comes in a sealed 5ml pot. It also comes in 11 other colours and finishes.

It is similar to a gel polish in that it needs to be cured using a UV or LED lamp. The viscosity is thicker than a gel, and a lot more stringy which is the 'spider gel' effect.

To use this I dipped a dotting tool in to the gel picking up a string of gel and then placing it over my nail to create a spider gel nail art look. Then cured it in my lamp.

As it is called a spider gel I wanted to create a spider web nail look with it;
