Nicole Diary ND-112 Stamping Plate ~ Nail Art

Hi ladies! Hope your week has been good so far. I have been in a flare up so swatching or writing up posts were the last things on my mind for the last few days. I’m starting to feel more human today though so I got a good amount of swatching done, and now I’m settling down to write some posts for the week. Today I have another stamping plate from Nicole Diary to show you, and I’m really excited about this mani. Let’s take a look…

I have always loved plaid nails, and believe it or not this is only the second plaid mani I’ve done. And actually the first I’ve been happy with. I have always found that the quality of plate you are working with directly affects how well your nails turn out, but I believe that is even more so with plaid nails. This plate was so easy to work with and I would definitely recommend it if you love plaid nails.

For this mani I started with a classic red for the base color. Zoya Gia was just the red I was looking for and it covered fully in 2 smooth coats. I chose the image on the left for my stamping. The first layer was done with MdU White. Then with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief I followed up with the black layer, lining it up with the first layer of stamping.

While I didn’t get my stamping lined up exactly I’m still quite pleased with the overall look. I topped it all off with matte top coat to finish this mani. I actually didn’t even take pics with a glossy top coat because I was certain I liked it best matte.
