I refreshed my Essie mani by adding a glitter accent from daring digits and stamping from my cheeky xl plates.
The glitter is called punch me purple, it makes a great layering polish but would've been very difficult to wear by itself. This glitter is very well suspended and dries quickly, I used SV on a few fingers and did get shrinkage so I'd probably recommend wicked fast for this one.
The stamping was done with konad wine red.

Essence Fruity Collection Banana Joe + stamping
Today I've got the last of the essence fruity collection colors, banana joe. Banana joe is a very soft pearly shimmery pastel yellow. This is three coats, it probably could have used a fourth but I wanted to stamp over it so I left it three. If it was still springtime I'd probably top it with some lynnderella glitter and love the dainty result.

Cheeky XL Plate A
I got my cheeky xl plates today! I ordered a set of three from amazon for 25.01, a lot less than I would have paid ordering from magno nails. I also ordered an xl stamper from eBay. I really like these plates, the images are crisp and long enough to cover my entire nail, I always have to double stamp with konad, red angel, and bundle monster.
The xl stamper is about a third larger than the standard konad stamper, you'll need one if you're trying to get the whole image or if you have long nails like me. If you don't then there's no point in spending the extra money. The xl stamper is softer than the konad one, it might take a little getting used to as you don't have to press hard to pick up or stamp.
Overall I'm really pleased with my purchase, I've been wanting these designs for a while and for about $30 I feel like I got a good deal. The quality of the plates is a lot better than the majority of fauxnads out there and I may buy the rest of them in the future.

Nubar Elegant Indigo + Stamping
Today I'm wearing elegant indigo from nubar, I received this in an amazing raok from a very kind and generous TPF'er. In the bottle it's a super duochromey deep purple but it's much more subtle on the nail. I covered it with a full nail image from my red angel plates and stamped in konad special pastel violet

Sally Hansen Purple Diamond
Today I'm wearing one of my most favorite polishes, Sally Hansen's Purple Diamond. It's part of the discontinued nail prisms line and it may be the only polish I'll ever need a back up of. It's very sheer and ridiculously holo, it plays well with SV and looks great under stamping.
