Essence Love Letters

Essence has released the new limited series: Love Letters with nail polishes, even with one new stamping polish!  Also there is mattifying paper among some other products.

And a new stampy set. I already have two of essence "stampy sets" and didn't wanted another one, but the stamping plate was worth it.

Lets see, what I could do with the Love Letters.
"Background" text is from Bundle Monster BM-405. Other images come from the new essence plate. The images are stamping well, what is not always the case for essence plates. Dark gray stampy polish works also perfectly.

Some images are like "stamps" on envelops: they have "worn" edges. I stamped them also with a violet polish by Ives Rocher, which looks like stamp ink.

Bunny Love

Easter is over and everything is sold for half the price at least. How couldn't I buy these cuties? Two sweet golden bunnies and a pink heart made of the finest Lindt chocolate are framed by a nice box with flowers and butterflies.

I felt the urge to recreate this design on my nails. The base is essence floral GRUNGE Lily Bloom. Then I painted the heart with a pink metallic polish (IsaDora 629 Icy Purple looks exactly like pink foil). Because I wanted the bunnies filled with colour I did them like stamper decals.

On my thumb and pinkie I stamped various floral and butterfly patterns from essence and cheeky plates with the same pink and golden polishes.

The next step was to paint the golden border on the nail tips. I set pink and golden dots between the thin and thick golden parts. And a top coat over all.
