This morning I decided to play around with a couple of the Chez-Delaney plates I got not too long ago, two I hadn't used yet. From plate H3, I wanted to check out the big plain French tip pattern, and I added a little something to it from plate H9.
For color, I figure I can't go wrong with purple, so SpaRitual Shoot for the Stars is the base color. I did the tips from H3 using Konad Pastel Violet Special Polish, and the pattern was a challenge to get a feel for. By the last few stamps I did, I had it, but in the picture you'll see that a couple nails aren't quite right. The thing is, it's hard to scrape the big empty engraving evenly and without sliding the corner of the scraper into the pattern. I did want to master this one though, because double stamping my tips with the French patterns from Konad plate m19 leaves a darker line where the two stamps overlap when I use anything other than black or white.
After the tips, I added a little heart pattern from H9, applied top coat, and called it done. It's by no means the most attractive manicure ever, but not bad for playing around with new plates.
