The Team GB nails are immense, have you posted them on their facebook page?

If you don't want to do it directly I have no issue doing it. Your talented and should shout about it.

I posted them earlier DD was nagging me to bits over it!

I did consider the fit issue, I guess I was just planning on decorating a set of 12 nails as they come and painting them in a way that they could possibly be filed? Don't know I havent thought too far into it really. As for time, it depends on the complexity, something like the GB nails 15 minutes or so, more detail longer I imagine though the Harry Potter ones were reasonably quick to achieve.

I'm thinking if you wanted them for one day wear like a convention etc then exact fit may not be such an issue?

Hanspan, when you stamp press hard on the metal to get it out, and vert firmly on your finger to get it back off. When I first started doing it I used to have my finger on the table.

I've tried hard and soft, fast and slow. I think I actually need a demo from someone who is good at this - anyone in London or near me in Tring fancy a polish meetup? I'm happy to supply polish and plates and whatever if someone else supplies the expertise!

What do you use to dot? I use dotting tools from ebay. If you use dotting pens it will be raised, but the dotting tools are better and give you a flat finish. You can make your own, but for £1 I couldn't be bothered and brought some.

I bought brushes and dotting 'things' from Amazon. Not sure if they are dotting pens or dotting tools - what is the difference? Mine are wooden handles with metal ends, each with different sized round metal blobs at the ends.

Here's my metallic nails for this week. Barry M Gold Foil with OPI Golden Rainbow for a bit more bling.

Pretty! I still haven't got a round tuit this week. I blame that pesky kitten again;)

Unfortunately I only took one photo of my metallic mani before I ruined it, and that was in electric light, but it's such a beautiful colour I thought I'd post it anyway. It's Kleancolor metallic aqua.


MSE Nail Challenge Week 8: Metallics by Nailp*rn Misadventures, on Flickr

That's a gorgeous colour.
Does it stay squishy for ages as I have found with the kleancolour top coats?

I have done delicate flower stamping today, unusual for me as most of my stamping is usually quite bright

I love Cath Kidston nails and did some a while ago. Will have to fit them into one of these challenges soon

I'm not really into delicate or flowers either but that is lovely!

Oh heck - I NEEEED that too! And I'd sworn I'd lay off for a while until I've worn some of what I've bought. I'm hopeless LOL.
Where did you get it from?

Thanks for the link, seems that one's out of stock now though so can't see a pic of it.

Oh dear, there were six available when I ordered mine last night. Must have sold out after that youtube vid was posted. She does have a lot of followers.
