Hey Ladies!
In February i did a swap with Martje from http://girly-addictions.blogspot.com/ - See my lovely plates here http://spellbindingnails.blogspot.com/2011/02/say-hello-to-my-new-little-friends.html .
I feel its time to test the 'animal style ' plate today. When i swatched the first plate http://spellbindingnails.blogspot.com/search/label/Essence%20plates, i said these plates were not numbered..which is a pain. So i decided to Generically label them as Essence Plates (lol) =)...does anybody else label them as anything else? let me know if you do.
For this Manicure i used:
-Models Own Jade Stone, Grace Green & Lemon Meringue.
-Essence 'Animal' Plate.
-Konad Special Black Polish.
- Enlarge at your own risk, my clean up looks v.messy!.

For this Manicure i have used Models Own nail varnish http://www.modelsownit.com/nails.html
. Ive never owned any Models own before - however when i was in Boots last week it was on a 3 for 2 deal...how could i say no!. So i decided to select the first 3 colours that stole my attention.
I definitely will be buying a couple more bottle of these polishes!.
