Fingerprints or Stamping ? with Layla, Essie and MJ6

Hi Goddesses

Depending how you view this blog, you may have noticed a panel that has appeared at the right hand side, near the Archive, called Crumpet Recommends.  These are 6 brands that I love, adore and support, and each logo takes you directly to where you can purchase these products.

Today I have a mani featuring 2 of my Recommended Brands - Sally Magpies, who stocks all sorts of polish in the UK, including Layla - and My Online Shop which creates THE most amazing stamping plates in the galactic empires :)

The base for this mani is Layla Ceramic Effect CE66 which is just a beautiful soft medium blue.  Quite denim-y.  Really nice.

I then stamped over it using Essie Blue Rhapsody - stamps AWESOMELY - and this stunning pattern from MJ6.

Technically, I think the pattern is just a spiral type squiggle, but I couldn't help thinking of fingerprints.

This is just one of those rare manis where everything works, as if the cosmic forces have Made It So.  The base and the stamp work deliciously well together, and the Essie is just the best stamping polish I've ever used - look how CRISP it is.

So, if you want to buy these lovelies for yourself, head over to the right hand side and treat yourself :)

Enjoy xx :)

Digit-al Dozen DOES Love and Heartbreak - Love Hearts

Hi Goddesses

This is one of those manis that literally BEGGED to be done.  The polishes lined themselves up in a little row and then jumped, one by one, onto the stamping plate, singing "meeee, meeeee".   True story.

I do love this, and whilst it's not a splodgerama (no sponge), it's as easy as pie can be.

This started as a base of Elevation Polish Alphubel.    On top of this, I then randomly dabbed various pastels - Barry M Bright Pink, Mint Green, Lemon Ice Cream and Berry Ice Cream.

I then took my white Konad polish and my stamping plate - this one comes from MJ6 which is available in the Etsy store My Online Shop (just a note, that's not MY on line shop, just the name of the store lol).

This mani is sooooo kitsch and so happy - totally cute and I love it :)

See you tomorrow, when the Digit-al Dozen meets Work Wear Wednesday! xxx
