OPI Red and Yellow Negative Space Colour Blocks!

Yo yo yo my lovely readers! Today I have some matte negative space colour blocks to share!

I have pretty crazy Mondays this year where I have eight and a half consecutive hours of lectures and labs. So yesterday I was basically recovering from the first one! We ended early but it was still pretty exhausting. I only go to school three days a week though which is pretty sweet (and is also why my Mondays are so long). Did you guys just recently start back at university too?

This is a pretty quick post but let's get into it!

OPI Red and Yellow Negative Space Colour Blocks

I started off with a coat of my normal base coat (Orly Bonder). After that had dried, I went in with a medium-sized paintbrush and OPI Good Grief (yellow) and Coca-Cola Red (red).

I added a coat of normal top coat and then finished with a coat of matte top coat (the NYC one).

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review Featuring Sexy Black Lace!

Hello everyone! Today I have some fancy black lace nails and a Born Pretty Store review to share!

So I'm back to school now and finally back to blogging! We've all been pretty sad since Anna (our Swiss sister) left so it's been hard to be motivated to do anything. I'm trying to get some motivation because I'll definitely need it for school!

Onto the nails!

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review Featuring Sexy Black Lace

I started out stamping one of the designs from the plate BP02 with American Apparel Hassid. I couldn't always get the whole image to transfer, but I was having trouble with a stamper I'm not used to so that was probably why.

Next, I went in with a very sheer black polish that I mixed up for the look. You can hardly tell so before I use it next time I'll add more black!

I then went in with Hassid on a small paintbrush and added the curved blobs on the sides of a few of my nails. A coat of top coat (Essie Good to Go) and I was done!

I think this plate worked very well. I am a very inexperienced stamper and it still turned out pretty awesome-looking! I love the flowery lace designs that come on the plate and I think I'll be using it again!

What do you guys think of this look or the stamp design specifically? I love both!
