Hello lovelies! I'm back with a nice summery look as part of a review for new nail art brand Nicole Diary. They recently contacted me offering 3 stamping plates of my choice to review. I chose three gorgeous plates, one of which I have to show you today. The sunflower image on that particular plate was the first to catch my eye, and I ended up using it for the design below. As always, read on for more info! |

I started off with a base of OPI 'My Twin Mimmy' from the Hello Kitty Collection (swatched here). I thought the rich yellow would be a perfect sunflower colour. Below is three coats and topcoat.

Before I get into the stamping, here is a look at the plate itself (ND106). The square plates measure 6 x 6cm, so actually have quite big patterns on. I love the size as I do have issues finding designs long enough for my nails. Each plate came with a blue protective film and a small cardboard sleeve for storage.

I stamped the top right flower pattern onto all of my nails. I used Hit The Bottle 'As Black As Night' and my MoYou London squishy rectangular stamper. The plate is very well etched and I had no issues at all picking up or transferring the design. After waiting a few minutes to avoid smudging, I added a quick topcoat to seal in my flowers.

What do you think? I have to say I'm really impressed! I found the plate so easy to use, and you can see how clearly the design has transferred. Again, I really love the bigger size of the patterns - I don't have to worry at all about them fitting my nails. Keep an eye out for more nail art using Nicole Diary plates soon!
