... Aussie Nail Monday - Stripes ...

Hey Ho! It's been awhile and I've definitely enjoyed my holiday break and I hope you all have had a great start to the new year. Now it's back to business with my favourite thing about the beginning of the week, Aussie Nail Monday!! YAY!

Todays theme is stripes and after various fails, I ended up with this pretty combo which I quite like and think is striking.

The base purple is the beautiful Peita's Potion from Lilypad Lacquer and I've stamped over the top with Konad White and the stamping plate is QA3 which is an octagonal plate that I've picked up somewhere in my travels.

I still haven't quite got the hang of stamping perfect horizontal lines but it's definitely a lot better from last time I attempted stripes! Why must something that looks so simple be so difficult??

While I just can't seem to go totally square, this is the most square I've been in a long time so it's a change. I wanted to try something different this year and set some challenges (note to self put up a proper post on goals!)
