Jungle Party - Ulta3 On The Green, Hit the Bottle Peacock Shimmer, Emeralds are Forever, Nicole Diary-088, -089


It's a bumper double plate review today! 

I have here Nicole Diary stamping plate 088 and 089 for review, provided by Born Pretty. As usual, they come with a protective blue film that I've removed for the photos above. Both plates are botanical-themed, so let's take a closer look.

Just quickly, my base from last week, Ulta3 On The Green, a soft muted pastel green. Perfect for botanicals!

Starting with Nicole Diary-088, this plate features a variety of small floral and foliage designs on the top half, and different stripe patterns on the bottom. Using Hit the Bottle Peacock Shimmer (so pretty!), I chose to stamp a variety of patterns from the bottom half of this plate.

What do you think? I think they stamped quite well! Also these pattern bands come in a range of widths so there's something to fit each nail!

Moving on to Nicole Diary-089, I once again decided to choose a bunch of patterns because they were all so pretty! The stamping polish I used here is Hit the Bottle Emeralds are Forever.

Really happy with this plate too, look how well the designs stamped. I also like how nicely the negative space design on my ring finger turned out. Also, banana leaves (I think?) on my thumb, how great is the detail on that!


Overall, I'm pretty impressed with these plates. You can check them out here and here at Born Pretty. As usual, our code above will give you 10% off on non-sale items. =)

Dreamy Pasture - Ulta3 On The Green


Super quick post on a random day of the week; I've just been so flat-out lately!

[Bottle to nail: Ulta3 On The Green (2 coats)]
This one is Ulta3 On The Green, a really nice dusty pastel green creme polish.


[2 coats: Ulta3 On The Green]
I used 2 coats for this, nice thickness, applied smoothly and dried nice and level. Add a shiny layer of topcoat and you're good to go!

As you can tell, I broke my middle nail pretty badly the other day... you can see how wonky it looks, oh dear...

Anyway, I really like this colour, for a green, it's pretty muted and maybe... worksafe?? I don't know, my perception of 'worksafe' colours has definitely gotten skewed over the years! =D

Strawberry Lemonade - Emily de Molly Crystal Cavern

I'm completely failing to capture the prettiness of this nail polish so maybe you have to rely on descriptions at the end!

[Emily de Molly's Crystal Cavern]
As you can see from the bottle, this is from Emily de Molly and it's Crystal Cavern. It's a pretty pink polish with a very visible gold shimmer. But damn does my camera hates taking photo of flashes of gold so you get only a hint of it here. As always, easy to apply and gorgeous to look at.
