Winstonia Plate sizes and Mani's

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I have the measurements of the Newest set.
"Winstonia"
This set can be found on Amazon.com
or  by clicking on --->Winstonia
I did measurements in Center Meters and also Inches


SURFS UP....

****WARNING HIGH TIDE****

Left is Cheeky Summer Set
Center is Winstonia
Right is BM 3

These images are smaller than Cheeky Summer.
And just slightly smaller than BM 3

 If it wasn't for my squishy stamper these would not fit me.
I did double stamp on my middle finger. I missed the edge slightly when I first stamped it.
I used W 101
I used my lint roller trick and was able to test another image.
Again I had to stretch my stamper so the image would fit me.
I used W 111


Some people have issues stamping on curvy nails.
As you can see mine are very curvy also.
I use my squishy stamper and press into the image.
If my nails are really long or the curve is just to much and the pressure
hurts, I'll use my other hand in assistance to hold my nail.

Now knowing these images are workable are you gonna grab a set?
I am glad I did.

Thank you for surfing my wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

Winstonia Plates

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

A New plate company has come out for the competition. 
"Winstonia" They were founded in 2011.
I guess their not all that new after all. But with stamping plate collections they are.


SURFS UP.....
*****WARNING.. HIGH TIDE*****





 

















$15.95 a Set and 20 Plates in total.. 
Not to bad of a deal.There's alot of really really cute images here.

And even tho I spent last night chopping my nails down, these
will not make the cut for me.

Did you ever go for a hair cut and end up getting like 2 inch off and 
 go home and no one even notice?
Well that just happen to me but with my nails this time.

The images here seem to stamp really well. 
Okay,... They stamp extremely well. I was pretty impressed in the quality myself.
They do have a protective backing and of course the blue film on the plate.
The only thing I can say as a con for this set is the size of images.
I have long/wide nails so most sets are always a challenge for me anyways.

Bottom Line.... This is a Great Set with Excellent quality.
Defiantly a must have for those stamping addicts :) (Like Me)

Striping Blue Sapphire Mani

Hello Nail Surfer

Welcome to My Beach

I have used striping tape before,but  it has mainly been used
under polish to add cool stripes and such. So I decided to expand a bit and use
this tape in the intent that it was meant for. These come in such pretty colors why not
display them on top of the polish. I will say that it was challenging to apply with long nails.
So I pulled out the tweezers for some assistance. They are pretty sticky so there is no need to
use any type of glue or TC to adhere them. After you trim them as closely to your nail as possible
you use a nail file to trim the tiny over hang piece. After I was all done filing my Mani it seemed
like it was lacking something. I knew then exactly what I needed to add. And guess what?
Cheeky's rhinestones matched the tape perfectly.

SURFS UP....





You can find both of these products at 

Have you done many striping tape Mani's?

Thank You for surfing my wave.
Ii hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

A Warm Fuzzy Heart

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Well it didn't take long for me to try out the "Velvet".
This style of art is great for a quick Mani too. Drying time is so minimal and you
can art over them or not. They do really feel soft like velvet material.
This Mani can really Jazz up blue jeans and a T outfit.

SURFS UP.....

That Large Beautiful Diamond is also from Mash Nails
Did you know you can stamp over "velvet"?
I used Mash 13 for stamping and the special polish.
I can't say this enough, But This black special polish is my go to
polish for black stamping. It has not smeared once on me and is always bold and crisp.

So would you try Velvet on your nails? Maybe just as an accent finger possibly.
Honestly I didn't think I would really care for this style. But it really grows on you.
It's something different. And I like my nails and art to be different. I enjoy try new Mani's.
This was a first for me. And Yeah.. I'd do it again.
You can always color an object in and add the velvet to that VS the whole nail.
Just something to think about. This color is so Cookie Monster. I really wish I had a plate
with him now. These would go together nicely.

Thank you for surfing my wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

 Just look at all those amazing different colors. (Caviar Nails)
I really liked how they included directions and also a funnel for easy clean-up.
 Beautiful Bold colors.
"Velvet" also known as flocking powder.
Again easy instructions to follow.
Great spring colors. These can be applied just like other gems.
Wowziers! 
These would be great for that accent finger or any finger at that.
 FIMO CANES

 


How Adorable are these! 
I like that they are pre-cut already. It makes the process so much easier
and even too.

I can't wait to start making Mani's with these new products.
The "Pearls & Velvet" are my first try.
I just love those cute little jars. It makes you feel more professional
even doing your own nails at home.
