Dotting Tools - We Stamp On Sunday

Hi hi all, hope you've all had a good weekend. I have a feeling tonight is going to fly by and I'll be back at work before I know it :(

Sad times aside, yesterday when I did my nails for this Adventures in Stamping challenge it was actually sunny! So there's quite a few photos ahead, not loads, but a lot more than the couple of images I've been restricted to recently due to the use of flash only.

I also have a pretty special polish to show you (special to me) as it's gorgeous, and one of only two true matte polishes that I love the formula of. I believe to be a dupe for Orly's Iron Butterfly. This is amazing to be, cause I've wanted a polish like this for a couple of years now, and with W7's bargain price of £1.99; yes please!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: W7 - Night Suede (also used for dots)

Flakies: Golden Rose Scale Effects Polish - 13

Stamp Colour: Barry M - Silver Foil

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM224

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Matte coat: Rimmel - Matte Finish

Above is with flash, pretty green!

Below is before I added to extra matte coat.

And for the base and flakies only combo, which looked quite nice as flakie polishes tend to dry a little matte.

This flakie is still true love for me, in fact the four I own are. Never disappointed when I reach for them. Here's what I used for the mani, and I will show you swatches of the beautiful Night Suede after that.

Now; onto the pretty pretty Night Suede. This first picture is a rough one coat, no clean up required! The other two are two coats, totally effortless polish to use.

So W7 - Night Suede looks pretty much like dupe of Orly - Iron Butterfly, but as I own it I can't compare. It's a gorgeous dark charcoal with tiny silver flecks, and it looks great matte or glossy, but matte for the win!

If anyone owns Iron Butterfly let me know what you think.

Until next time my pretties, I'm gonna go stick on a film and order a curry =D

Purple Scales, Rimmel Purples & Bundle Monster

Cinema trip last week, so I popped into Asda seeing as it's around the corner. Strangely though I didn't pick up any own brand polishes. I usually pick up 3 at a time with them being so cheap, and so nice, but it didn't seem like they had any new colours in. So I bought two Rimmel purples instead :]
