Recent paintjobs

After spent the summer with only Borghese Hydrati on my nails and the poor suckers still looked like filo pastry, I decided to get back to paint them. Not that it makes them healthier (at least I think so), but at least several layers of polish do keep them "glued" together.
First one: Color Club "Be Bold" stamped with China Glaze "Hi Tek":


Second one : OPI "Black Tie Optional" stamped with China Glaze "Joy":

Third and latest:
You know that I have this hate/love thing going on with Zoya polishes - it never dried and it chipped instantly. Well, I gave up and gave them away to our nieces - but not all though. So, I saved just a few because the colors was so awesome and I hoped that maybe by some miracle, they would turn usable over time. So I bought out "Jules"  - two coats of Hydrati, two coats of Jules and one coat of Seche Vite. Then I stamped with Essie "Little Brown Dress" and one more coat of Seche Vite. And this time it dried and even though some minor chips fell of after a day or so, the overall mani stayed put for 5 days = small yayyy.

Rest assured, there are more to come ;-)

Hello, I saw your post in the Art of Nail blog about asking for XL stamp plate. Here is a seller from the USA who sells those plates http://www.ebay.com/itm/XL-Nail-Art-Stamp-Stamping-Plate-/320759709213?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item76c0cf7c25
I bought a pair of XL plates from her and she is a good seller. She says she is not selling internationally at the moment, but I think she can make an exception if you contact her because she always answered to my questions.

Thank you Anonymous for this, but I think she has disabled the asking/commenting function for us international customers - when you push a button, only an error message :-(
