26 Great Nail Art Ideas - New Year New You

So, I think that means new me !
Amongst other things, I would like "new me" to do more knitting!
In an ideal world I would attempt not to over commit and try to get some sort of balance rather than feel constantly stressed by the list of things I haven't done in all areas of life:- family, friends, work, nails, knitting - I wonder what this will be mean? maybe I'll skip the occasional nail prompt if I don't fancy it, maybe I'll try not to waste so much time trying to get the "perfect" photo - I can but try!
Certainly I didn't knit as much as I would have liked last year so of course I chose knitting for my mani and what better time to try one of the new Messy Mansion XL plates.
I saw they had brought MM40 out in XL, but when I went to order it I spotted MM84XL and MM85XL so as there was a 3 for 2 offer I ordered them too! I was not disappointed - I love them all and they stamp really nicely!
I decided to use MM84XL for this mani with a cool mix of knit and purl stitches over a fan brush base.

  4. You already know I'm a huge fan of your New You ideas!! ;) These are fabulous! I really must get some MM plates... And, is it bad that I have no idea the difference between a knit and a purl??
