'Ard As Nails Park Ranger and Dixie Plate DP 02

I think 'Ard As Nails is becoming one of my favourite UK Indies and the Safari Collection is lovely.
Today I have used Park Ranger which was the polish in the collection that first grabbed my attention when I saw swatches - a lovely khaki holo (although no sun today so just khaki!)
Excellent coverage, beautiful colour but really let down by poor lighting on the photos. I will obviously have to wear this again soon and get some better pictures.
I bought some new plates too so of course I had to try them out. Kate Dix has just brought out her own range of plates, Dixie Plates so I had to buy a couple - I used Dixie DP 02 with Colour Alike Fresh Mojito.
I chose one of the most intricate images on the plate and it stamped really well. I am delighted. I am not sure if I will stamp over this, I think it would be a shame to cover it up and I really like these two greens together!

May Challenges - My Favourite Animal

It's a good job I have plenty of cat plates - its always going to be cats for my favourite animal!! and this one was for #firedazedchallenge.
This time though I am sort of recreating a mani done by two lovely friends of mine. Iva and Stefi did a mani for me to match the scarves I sent them and they both used a Moyou London Enchanted plate, Iva used Enchanted 14 and Stefi used 13, which has the smaller images.
I went for 13, basically because I didn't realise there were 2 plates but actually I think that although I generally go for the bigger images I am pleased with the size of these.
Firstly though, a stunning polish from 'Ard As Nails - Golden Sunset is from the Safari Collection and it is absolutely beautiful! This golden orange polish is just perfect! Even though I don't really like orange, I love this!
I did a gradient with Golden Sunset and Park Ranger, a lovely khaki shade from the same collection and then stamped the cat image using Colour Alike Iced Coffee having decided I did not want to use white. I was really pleased with the finished mani and again, I did shiny and matte and loved both!
