H2 + 'Orange Goodness!'

Hey Ladies!

Yesterday was a good day for me =).

Ive been using my Nokia N96....for Too Long! 

But yesterday - I got a shiny new phone =)...I upgraded my contract to a shiny, new Galaxy S2 .

My boyfriend thought it would be a great idea to do my nails in orange- as my contract is with orange (I love it , when he gets involved with my passion <3)

Here's what i came u with:

(All pictures can be enlarged)

For this Manicure i used:

- Image plate H2

- Nails Inc - Candy Orange ( the free polish i got with InStyle Magazine).

- Essence Nail Art Black Stampy Polish.

I love this design - its defiantly different!

See below,  for a picture without the flash - to show how awesome this design really is.

My new phone *Happy Face* * - i love that it comes with the kindle app ...as well as loads more apps =))).

When i got home after picking up my new phone, i had a package waiting for me =). 

My XL C-F plates had arrived !!!!.

I know what you all thinking... is she crazy?!?!...shes brought a lot of plates recently...why more?!?...well i have a answer for that question.

When i got my XL A-B plates in December- i immediately regretted not getting the rest of the XL plates...i went on Magno Nails to place the extra order...but there was only XL A, B, D & E

 left =-//... 

They've only just been restocked due to the plates being so damn popular...so i immediately ordered the remaining plates before the same thing happened again  =).

I will be doing Swatches of these plates for you guys very soon =). 

Here is a picture of some *yummy*  Double chocolate Muffins i made today....they are SO good =).

Ive recently made a pledge to bake more. ...So far everything Ive made has tasted very yummy!.

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.

For all those that yet haven't entered my first giveaway - you can enter by clicking Here

Thanks for reading this, i hope you all enjoy your weekend- and relax =)

I selected a plate at random for my first review.

Just to let you girlie's know.. i will test every plate and every image =) To show you exactly how each plate preforms!

For this manicure i used:

- Image plate D19.

- Barry M nail Paint's Wild Purple , Cyan Blue & Cobalt Blue.

- Konad Special White polish.

I love this plate!

.... and i love that the boat reminds me of the boat used in the television show 'Blue Peter'!..well ever so slightly it kinda does...Well anyway it defiantly brings back a lot of craft memories!

Here is the 'Before i stamped' picture.

And here is a picture of all my lovely new plates *Drool!*.

*Bounce!!*

Here is the lovely D19 plate that i used.

For swatching the D19 plate i used:

-N.Y.C Canal Street.

- Konad Special White Polish.

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

(these pictures can be enlarged)

Firstly Ive got to say I'm very happy with this plate.

I was very worried the plates wouldn't work...however these pictures speak for themselves!.

Each image transferred so smoothly.

Although you cannot see the mermaid and merman brilliantly...i can say now..they looked fantastic!.

There is a lot of images to choose from in this set ..giving you fantastic value for money!.

I cant wait to review more plates.

Have a good Thursday girlie's!
