Color Club Antiquated as the gold foil stamp.  The Foiled Collection is amazing at stamping with! I love everything Color Club!

Red Angel plate RA110 which is a long tip design.

Double-Holo Tip Mani

Ok, so  I went home and only brought a few polishes with me, and I had to bring along my favorite Color Club, Warhol.  Every time I put it on, it just pops at me.  and of course I couldn't leave it alone, so I did some holo tips!  but not any holo tips... double holo tips.. lol.

I used Color Club Warhol as the base, Color Club FashionAddict as the bottom tip color, and Sally  Hansen Ruby Diamond as the top tip color.  I free-handed these.  Check it out.

Layering Experiment

I decided to start off with China Glaze Frostbite.
Then added the Finger Paint Flakie Twisted. 
And to finish I wanted to add Finger Paint sparkle top coat to see what it looked like.

Well, it came out very pretty!  I'll get on with the pictures:

Great Silver for stamping

 I found an awesome Silver polish for stamping, This is Wet N wild Black Creme as a base and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep stamped on.  It shows up very well and looks really awesome!  This stamp is Konad M73.

Everything you need to know about Red Angel Plates

OK, so there is alot of hype about Red Angel plates from a company called JMGlobal.  These stamping plates have some unique images that are really neat, and for a total cost of $16 with shipping I really wanted to try them myself. Because I was new at stamping, I thought it was a good deal for the money.

*note* When i ordered them they were 11.99 and 3.99 shipping. now they are 12.99 and 3.99 shipping, which is still a great deal for these image plates.

To see the full images and purchase them go to the amazon site here > http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VX8S4G/ref=ox_ya_os_product

The first VERY IMPORTANT fact: these image plates are VERY SHARP! They can cut you. handle them very carefully and just be wary of the fact that they are very sharp.

Second thing: the Fairies do not have wings.  In the original picture on the Amazon site the fairies had wings, but im guessing that a computer messed up and now the fairies do not have wings. here is a photo of my plates and as you can see only 1 of mine does have wings.  On the site now the photo reflects what my images look like - like naked dancing women.  I don't think this is a deal breaker, unless you were buying these plates just for the fairies, but there are so many other awesome images that It didn't matter to me.



Next:  The image plates are very thin.  and because of this they may be warped when stacked next to each other, like the photo below. In my opinion it does not affect the stamping. and depending how you store them it should not matter.


The images are all original in my opinion.  I think only one other plate is a dupe of another, but This is the only full set I own, so I can't comment on that.

The Red Angel plates and Konad plates have similar image size, although a few of the images do look a little smaller than Konad.

Alot of this information has been discovered through discussions in PAA and a stamping group on Facebook, I just wanted to collect it all into one space.   :)
