HB13 + ' A Shark Attack Fail'

Hey Ladies

Ive never been afraid to show my  'Fail'  Manicures to you lovely ladies..However...

.... Unfortunately this is one of them.

I had so many ideas when planning this Manicure ...But...it just simply went wrong from start to end.

For this Manicure I used:

-  La Femme Beauty Polishes - Mint and Blue Cream.

- Konad Special Black Polish.

- Fraulein 38 Nail Art Liners ( I used Random Blue Liners, and a white and silver liner from the collection).

- Rimmel London -Matte Finish.

 I actually like it when a manicure fails.. because i do learn from my mistakes ..

I know where i went wrong with this manicure and will 

re-attempt this - learning from my mistakes =-/.

I really liked the HB13 Plate...and put none of the blame on this image or plate!. As usual the plate preformed beautifully =).

Here is the Lovely HB13 Plate =).

 I got a new delivery this week. 

I recently placed a order for shirleys SdP Plates:

I got:

-  (From the A series) A01, A03, A04, A07, A09, A10,  

A11, A14,  A15,  A16, A17 & A18.

                                                       - (From the B series) B01, B02, B03, B04, B05, B08, 

B09, B11, B13,  B14,  B15,  B17 &  B19.

Ive known for some time that some of the images on these plates were 

defective...so I held me back buying them, awaiting peoples reviews. 

...However Shirley recently decided to put these plates on sale for 1 euro each due to the problems people were having with these plates.

How could I say no to that bargain...Well I couldn't ..so I placed a order 

for 1 of each of the plates on sale!

And here they are =) :

I cant wait to have a play with them =).

I'm not sure if i like or dislike this manicure =-/...so ill let you guys give me some 

feedback on it =).

(All pictures can be enlarged)

For this manicure i used :

- A sponge.

- HB06.

D20 + ' Some Holo Glitz '.

Hey Ladies!

I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend!.

For today's manicure i used my Chez Delaney Image D20.

I also used:

- Color Clubs - Fashion Addict.

- Colour Clubs - Wild at Heart.

- Fraulein 38 - Blue Glitter Nail Art Liner.

- Konad Special White Polish.

Why do my nails look so edible...they look like sugared candy because of the blue glitter lol...or is that just me?!?. lol.

I do like this plate...Although , not all the images do appeal to me.

I picked up the plate because i saw tinker-bell and thought weee!...fairy dust! - but chose these images for my manicure because they appealed to me more after swatching the plate.

Here (Below) is how my nails looked before stamping.

I love Holo polishes ... though they are just too distracting =).

Here is the lovely D20 image plate available from Here

For swatching the D20 plate i used:

- Beauty UK's - Midnight Minx's Purple Polish.

- Konad Special White polish.

Ive tried to capture each swatch picture with and without flash to attempt to show you each image .

The images transferred smoothly - Although i did lose poor tinker-bells wings... whilst i was stamping my door bell rang...silly post man =-/.

Whilst swatching this plate i only had problems with 1 image.

See below on my middle finger.

I knew before getting this set - there were risks involved , due to the fact poor chez had problems with manufacturing these plates.

However saying that....out of the 3 plates Ive tested to date- to encounter only 1 problem image is pretty fantastic =).

I must point out...I'm not ecstatic

about stamping butterflies on my nails...... However this plate does give a wide selection of different butterflies for those that love stamping butterflies =)....And i know from visiting a few of your blogs that some of these images will defiantly appeal to a high number of nail art enthusiasts.
