31 Day Challenge - Day 3 - Yellow

Hi Goddesses

Ugh.  Yellow.  Pigging yellow!

It's a long time since I've done a challenge I didn't create, so at least this time I have someone other than myself to blame - YELLOW????!!!

This is good ole Barry and his M with ..... yes, Yellow.

I actually did put some thought into whether I should do some nail art - you almost had an egg skittle (scrambled, fried, poached er ... and then I ran out of ideas) but in the end, I just decided to stamp over it, and try and drown some of the yellow out.

The plate I used is Fun2.  Ever since I got it, this is a pattern I've been attracted to - I love the retro / beaded curtains effect it has.

Thank God that's out the way.  Phew yellow's over, which means tomorrow is .... green.  Great.  Can I get a break here ???

Enjoy xx :)

Red Week - Red Squared

Hi Goddesses

Today's mani is super simple, but it makes me happy nevertheless.  It's a recycle of Monday's Zoya nails (here).  The stamping is the Fun2 plate.

There's something about this geometric design I really love, and it stamps super cleanly, better in fact than something similar I have on a more well know brand plate.  Stamping was with Konad White.

I love the effect of this - so classic and retro.  I feel like a whole 1960's kitchen could be built round this pattern!

Lol.  As I'm getting better at stamping, I'm starting to notice things more, and the latest thing to catch my eye is how the stamping becomes less crisp as you go round your hand. Previously I'd always wondered why people cleaned their plate between each nail, but THIS is why - it keeps your image sharp.  Look at the ring finger.  Can you see how much crisper it is than the middle finger? Yup, because I cleaned da plate.

Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day of red week, but I still have some other ideas for posts that I haven't started yet, so I'm probably going to trundle this red cart all through the weekend.

Enjoy - and don't forget to check out my other amazing friends xx :)
