Pretty Flowers!
Pale pink with darker pink flowers. Very pretty and feminine.

First attempt at nail stamping.
OK, so a few lessons learned on my first go at nail stamping.
* Taking photos of shiny nails is HARD.
* Use a top coat, because the image that you have stamped on is fragile and wears off easily (as you can see in my photos. I didn't use a top coat and parts of the stamped design have worn off. :( )
* Use an old credit card to scrape across. It works better than the metal scraper and won't scratch your plates.

* Make sure you take the film off the top of your plates before using them. My plates had a thin clear film over the top that I couldn't see. I struggled with them for a while before I realised. Doh.
What I used to achieve this look:
BASE COAT: OPI Chocolate Moose
STAMP COLOUR: Maybelline Express finish (no idea what colour. :( )
PLATE: B16
