26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Black Base and some Gothic Stamping

This weeks's challenge was Black Base which rather conveniently coincided with #clairestelle8nov prompt of Gothic.
So, I started with a black base... of A England Camelot.
Then I stamped a lacy pattern with Colour Alike Venus and Dixie Plate DP 01.
Then I added a rather Gothic image from DP 04 using Colour Alike Supernova.
These two Colour Alike polishes are gorgeous duo chromes: I don't think Venus had much of a chance to do its magic with the pattern I stamped but I loved how Supernova looked and was delighted to see the camera catch the browny gold and the pinky red.
Finally I added a matte top coat.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Nude + a colour with accent nail

This weeks prompt was Nude + a colour and my pattern prompt was "accent nail". You'll notice if you look regularly at my manis I really don't do accent nails, I just don't feel comfortable with them but anyway - that was the prompt so that's what I did.
I painted all my nails except for the ring finger with Nails Inc Montpelier Walk and the ring finger with Nails Inc Sugarloaf Sunset.
Then I used one of my newest plate Dixie plate DP01 and stamped an abstract pattern using Esmaltes da Kelly Chuoisco over the nude nails and Esmaltes da Kelly Doguito over the pink nail.
Despite my reservations I was quite pleased with how they turned out.
