Halloween Manicure

Please note I have not intended to copy any one else's idea, if my idea looks similar to yours it is entirely coincidental. I actually sat down and drew out a plan for my Halloween manicure and what I ended up doing wasn't what I planned. This is what I did:Base for all nails:3 coats of Sally Hansen HD - Blu.Then I sponged on Sinful Colours - Fiji halfway up the nail.

Bundle Monster Plates - First Set

I bought the first set of bundle monster plates on Amazon for $21.73 with postage. They took 7 days to be delivered.

The edges used to be sharp not everyone realised there was plastic over the front of the plates. It's good to see they have updated the old set to match the latest...

China Glaze - Harmony

China Glaze - Harmony2 CoatsHarmony is part of the Romantique collection. I think it came out not long after nail polishes went 3 free so the formula isn't that great.

I've heard the Romantique collection is good for stamping so I'll give this one a go soon.BM-218I stamped this with one of the french tip stamps on Bundle Monster plate...
