Ciate Jelly Bean + Stamping

This is the latest nail stamping i have done and one of the quickest as there wasn't much polish to clear up afterwards. I used 2 coats of Ciate Jelly Bean which is a lovely fuschia pink with a blue/purple shimmer to it, unfortunately the shimmer doesn't really show on the nail like it does in the bottle. Once dried it gives a lovely glossy finish. I used cheeky plate CH14 with konad white, then finished off with a matte top coat by Rimmel.

Favourite Stamping

I'm going to start with one of my favourite nail patterns. I've recently got into nail stamping after seeing all the designs you could. It took a few goes to get the hang of it and now that i have i'm obsessed :-)

For this design i used my favourite polish right now which is Ciate Purple Sherbet. This polish came free in Junes issues of MarieClaire and i've fallen in love with it. It does take 3 coats to get a smooth even finish but once dry it has a lovely gloss look to it. For the stamping i used cheeky plate CH12 with konad white then finished off with Rimmel PRO Matte finish.
Sorry for the dry cuticles, its all of a sudden gotten really cold over here in the UK and my hands are hating the weather right now.
