Bad Day For Nail Stamping.

I guess yesterday was just one of those days..... A bad day for nails..... I was going to do two nail challenges in one mani, Inspired by my phone case & Double stamping.
So why was this a bad nail day?
First of I had just applied my white base color when I had to run and aid my 3 1/2 year old who had stumbled and hit her arm. So of course half dry nail polish and taking care of a crying girl who was having a fit because she had bumped her arm and being cross at her great grandmother who was nagging at her to come to her when she wanted mommy. So of course that left my polish with dents and half peeled off on some nails, so had to remove it all and start over.
I got my background done with an Indie grey stamping polish I made of what I had on hand and Dashica's Dash 18, and found some images on a few MoYou plates for the flowers and a leaf image and picked started stamping with Dashica Black and Pink stamping polish.
Applied top coat and some crystals, but wasn't happy with the final look at all.

1 stamping try result.

So I removed it straight away and started again from scratch. But this time I picked Shany's XXL Image plate 2 for the flower and leaf image. And just placed them randomly on my nails. Still not 100& happy with these but I like the 2nd try nails better than the first try nails. I may keep them for a day or two, before they drive me crazy and I remove them.

So why don't I like them? They're too busy looking for my taste, if I saw these on someone elses nails I would go OMG those are so stunning. But then after starting blogging, youtube and doing challenges in FB nail groups I am happy to do nail looks that pulls me out of my comfort zone. My comfort zone is boring in the long run, just simple classic and elegant looking nails. In red, plums, purples and naturals colors, you see a lot of the same shades in my polish collection. I tell myself I have to start picking some more bold colors to add to my collection. I just need a good old kick in the butt to do so. LOL 

Dashica's Dash Set.

I was so exited when Shirley announced she was releasing a 20 plate set, and was really happy when I saw the previews she showed us a few weeks ago. And I knew I had to add this set to my collection.
Now holding them in my hands there is no doubt this is my favorite set ever. The designs are as amazing as always. And even tho the plates are smaller than the normal sized ones they still have the same size on the images. The designs are amazing, I don't know how Shirley comes up with all these designs, they are all unique. And there are some known characters on these plates, like Sponge Bob, Hello Kitty, 007 logo. She has also added some images for holidays like Halloween and Christmas.
Yes, this set costs more than other plate sets out there. But after seeing these images first hand I am glad I got them, I will test them out later.
I am sorry, but on some of the pictures the camera had a fit on me. But here's the pictures of the Dash set:

The only thing about this folder is that the plastic sheets have a matte finish to them, so you have to be in good light to be able to see all the details of the images.
