China Glaze Electric Beat + Stamping
This is one of my newer colours i just received, it's China Glaze Electric Beat, this blue is really nice soft light blue creme. The polish went on really nice, it only took 3 coats, could of gotten away with 2 very careful coats.

Rimmel Exotica + Stamping
This is one of my favourite reds in my collection, i have had this nail polish for years, I'm certain it was one of the first in my collection.
Exotica is a vibrant metallic red with a gold shimmer. The shimmer shows slightly on the nail but not as much as it does in the bottle. As much as i love this colour i don't tend to wear red much as i find its too much of a rich colour for me, but since i started stamping i have worn it much more as the stamping break up the colour more. The colour that i find goes really nice with red is a gold.
The only downside to this polish i have found is that it stains my nails more then any other colour even with a base coat. The only base coat which has been thick enough to help prevent that is Boots No7 base coat, i use two coats of it before adding this polish and i now find once i take it off there is very little staining, other then some redness on the skin from where it was rubbed to be removed.
For this stamping i used cheeky plate CH7 and Accessorize metalized one coat in Jewel.

More Flower stamping
As i said in a prevous post i do like my flower stamping and i promise i will certainly change it up from now on.
I did this design on my friends nails a few weeks ago, i think it looks lovely, its not once of my best, i could of done it so much neater, i find it harder doing other peoples nails then my own, they never end up as neat but i'm slowly getting there. Will certainly have to redo this design at some point.
For this design i used Nubar white peony then stamped using Cheeky plate CH12 and Accessorise metalized one coat in greige then for the dots i used lime crimes parfait day, lavendairy and once in a blue mousse.

Flower Stamping on Accessorize polish
I have a big thing for flower nail stamping, i just think they look really pretty, i tend to always lean towards those designs when deciding which one to use. I need to start experimenting more with other patterns.
For this design i used Boots No7 base coat, i really do like this base coat it normally retails at £5.50 but if you have the recent Boots £3 off make up voucher you can pick it up for £2.50 so i picked a couple of those up aswell as the top coat and i'm very impressed with both. I tend to use my Boots top coat more then my seche top coat lately.
The colour i used was Accessorize Metalized one coat in Sapphire, i do like there one coat range and have brought all of them, unforunately they don't have many only about 6 or 7 these are perfect if you don't have alot of time to get your nails done as one coat really does cover completely and they are also brilliant for stamping. I bought mine from my local Superdrugs store but i have noticed that not all of there shops sell the range.
The stamping plate i used was Cheeky CH14 and konad white, i finished off with Boots No7 Top coat. The end result of this manicure i think is really pretty. The blue and white go really well together and stand out. I do however get annoyed that the patterns are just that bit to small to fit my thumb!
