A-England Gradient with Stamping

Hello everyone! It's been a busy week here yet again. I've done nail art, swatches and even went back to uni for a meeting that was cancelled ten minutes after I got on the train - doh! Fortunately I made the most of my trip and went shopping so it all ended well. Today's post is about some nail art I did recently that I'm superrr proud of! I had this idea over my exam period and made a note in my phone so that I wouldn't forget it. Let's take a look at what I did shall we?

I began by doing a gradient using The Blessed Damozel and Crown of Thistles from A-England. I'd originally planned to use Lady of the Lake rather than The Blessed Damozel but quickly realised it wasn't going to work. Once I was happy with my gradient I took a long time browsing through my UberChic plates before settling on this dreamcatcher-like image from 4-03. I stamped using Barry M Silver Foil which is now my absolute favourite stamping polish. There is going to be silver with everything!! I also used a clear stamper for the very first time which I bought from She Sells Sea Shells and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out (aside from the broken lines on my middle finger of course...sigh). I love that I can now get my stamp roughly in the middle of my nail yay!

 
As I said I'm so pleased with how these turned out, especially after having the idea for so long. I even did it on both hands and got lots of compliments which is always really nice. Purple and silver is definitely a new favourite combination of mine; I've already done another mani or two with this combo haha! Anyway, I think that's it for today. I chatted a lot more in the middle than I normally do. 

Hope you enjoyed this post! I'll be back Saturday with some more swatches!
