Nail Crazies Unite - Red and Black Hobbies

This week's prompt was Red and Black Hobbies.
Of course it was going to be knitting, it's the only thing I do in my spare time when I am not painting my nails.
I used Messy Mansion MM84XL with A England Anne Boleyn over 'Ard as Nails Beauty.
I have stamped with Anne Boleyn before and it stamps well but this was the first time over black and it obviously wasn't the best combo with this plate. I can see the stamping but it is subtle, great for wearing but not for photographing.
I did think about trying it matte before I took it off but in the end I just re-stamped with Colour Alike Red Dragon. This gave a much better contrast and you can see the stamping!

Time for a whinge now! IG interaction is so low (even if I wait a few days to see what responses I get, I have 5 day old pics appearing in my feed!) and in the Facebook group it is virtually non-existent, last weeks mani in the alternating group got no likes at all so I am unsure whether to even continue with these challenges. It's certainly not worth editing the pictures and writing a blog when time is short anyway - OK whinge over - back to the nail pics - I'll include the invisible ones for completeness, as I said, I could see the stamping, it was pretty and I wore it happily for a couple of days. The bolder version will last another day I think and then time for a change!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Red and Pink (circles)

This week's prompt for 26 Great Nail Art Ideas was Red and Pink. This co-incided with Clairestelle8's January challenge of Circles so I combined them.
I started with bases of Itsy Nails Drop Red Gorgeous and Itsy Nails Ooh La La, and then used Colour Alike Red Dragon and Colour Alike Sweetheart with Loja BBF 46 and Dixie Plate DP04 to stamp some rather retro looking circles.
I love both these images which is why I used both! I just couldn't decide which one!!
I couldn't get a shot without reflections so I added a coat of Freckles You Make Me So Matte.
I wouldn't generally put red and pink together but I was quite pleased with how these turned out.
