New nail shape and some native american inspired stamping.......

MoYou Explorer Collection Plate 14

I filed my nails into baby stilettos! This happens every year about this time. Or at least for the last three years, I can't remember exact dates of nail shape changes before then, I just used to paint my nails a couple of times a week - there were no pictures, lol! I get bored with square nails, so I shape them pointy. Then I grow them long. Then I get bored with them, so I cut them short and square again. The last bit usually happens in the summer when I'm swimming outside a lot, and it takes ages to get into my wetsuit AND I start shredding it!


The mani is a base of American Apparel Cotton, stamped with Barry M Matte Nail Paint in Caramel. I used two different sections from MoYou Explorer Plate 14 for this part of the stamping.

I wasn't specially concerned to get the two parts of the image equally spaced, since I was just going to stamp another pattern band over the blank bit. I did like how these pale neutral colours looked together though, so I thought it was worth taking a picture.

Then I added a black band from another part of the plate with American Apparel Hassid. I love how this mani turned out - I'm becoming increasingly fond of MoYou plates and my collection is growing steadily, lol. I'm a great fan of ethnic geometric patterns, so the explorer collection really hits my spot! And I like the whole pattern plates, they give such a variety of pattern possibilities.
