    That link takes me back to the union jack stickers on ebay, did you post the right one?

    Those stickers are definitely the way to go by the way. S0d messing about with masking tape :T

    Yes, that's the one :) There's so many on there that you wouldn't have known which I'd searched for if the auction had finished before you saw the page :)
  • Thanks for the advice ladies. I've seen some water decals on there I quite like. Anyone used them before? Are they east for a pleb like me?!

    Yup. I use water decals a lot! Much thinner than the usual stickers but be careful when putting on topcoat as they are fragile and shred easily. I tend to let a drop of seche vite land on it and dry first, then do a proper coat to seal.

    That's a good tip, thanks for that. I like water decals as well because you can move them around til they're in the perfect place.
  • Right, I'll give it a go! :)

    Max Factor Max Effect Mini in '20 Silver' (wouldnt call it silver though it is more of a dark grey glitter?), stamped with konad plate m57 using Barry M Black polish, painted little bits with Orly 'Ancient Jade' (came in She Said Beauty Box). Loving these!

    I LOVE the drizzle, did you use a tutorial to do it?

    It is super easy, I emptied some nail varnish into a tiny pot, left it to dry a bit then draggled it across the nail.
