Hello! For this post I have a third Nicole Diary stamping plate and nail design to share with you. If you missed my other posts, you can see plate ND106 here, and ND110 here. Today I have plate ND013, which I used to create my tribal stamping mani below. As always, read on for more info and a closer look at the plate itself.
Unlike the previous two plates, ND013 is circular. It consists of a single design across the whole plate. This looks quite tribal to me but depending on how you look at it (and which colours you used), I also think it could work as an Easter egg design or even a fairisle Christmas look.
For my nail design, I started with a base of Pretty Serious 'Can't Take The Sky', a gorgeous soft blue/periwinkle (swatched here). Shown below is two coats and topcoat.
I stamped the pattern onto my nails using my MoYou London XL sticky marshmallow stamper and Pretty Serious 'Absence' (swatched here). As with the previous two I have reviewed, the plate was well etched and I had no issues picking up or transferring the pattern. I finished off by sealing everything in with topcoat.
What do you think? I was loving this design, and I got so many compliments on it. My stamping isn't perfect, although I don't think it ever is! I'm still too stubborn to try my clear stampers but I will get there eventually! This was also my first time stamping with 'Absence', and I found it so easy. It stamped better than actual black stamping polishes I have, so I'd definitely recommend giving it a go!

You can find Nicole Diary on Instagram here and Amazon here. A lot of their plates are currently on sale, so I'd definitely have a look before they go back to full price.
Hope to see you in the next post!

DeleteHow do you maintain such long nails?! Looks like you are pretty much comfortable with stamping. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of it is down to my Ciate strengthening basecoat and Sally Hansen strengthening & moisturising removers :) x
