Herome image-plates

Yay I received my Herome package, was quite a fast delivery. Only after ordering and paying it took about 2 days, but then again it`s a dutch company so why should it take ages ;)

I came acros these plates by coinsidence really. Wanted to get some more info on their website about the W.I.C. colors and then I hit the webshop and saw they had a total different line; W.I.C. graffiti NailArt. It includes the same small bottles as their polishes, only these brushes are like liners and there are less colors available. They sell starting kits with 1 bottle of nailart polish with a scraper, stamper and a plate or bigger sets. I wasn`t interested in the polishes...weird huh ;)...so I went to the plate sets. There are 4 sets available and I bought 3 of em. First picture you see is Fancy-set, second picture is flower-set and third picture is Tip-set...which i can`t use yet since my nails are extremely short. Forth available set is called Say it!..which has numbers and letters, I`m not really into that. Had to try the set immediatly ofc!!!

• started with Sally Hansen base-coat
• 2 layers of Catrice-Let`s Talk About Berrie! 080
• for stamping used Gosh-silver 555
• toped it with SecheVite :)

For the stamping I used first plate of the first photo, the little splashy thingy, and I was having quite fun so I didn`t really care the stamping wasn`t in the same positioning on each nail :)

Oeh and prices...I payed 7,50euros for each set so a total of  22,50euros. ( And each set comes in a cute silver box ) No delivery costs since it was more then 15euros. I haven`t seen these in shops, only Heroms eshop.

My Orly mattes :)

In these photos I`m trying out my Orly mattes. I used China Glaze- strong adhesive base-coat first. Dried up very smoothly and fast. Then I applyed the dark/black Iron Butterfly and the purple Purple Velvet. I`ve never used a matte before, I did have China Glaze matte top-coat and HEMA`s topcoat as well, so I was wondering how to handle this kind of polish. Both of em dried up very fast after applying, so it wasn`t possible to recover any small mistakes. Had to make fast streaks and apply a 2nd layer after 5 minutes. Polishes/brands themselves I would recommend to anyone. The colors are quite heavy, but since they`re matte and the blackish one has shimmers in it and the fact my nails are tiny atm....it gives a soft character to the whole. So even though I picked these colors by watching swatches and reading comments of others, I don`t regret picking these 2 :)

Gosh

550 purple heart, It's not purple...and it's not black. I do think the color is to hard on my fingernails, so I use it as toe-polish ooorr I use it with my konad kit for stamping ;)

549 holographic, This is my first holographic and I love it! I shocked my colleagues with it, since they had no clue such thing excisted.

555 silver, this is extremely shiny, not like the Minx mani`s I`ve seen on WAH-nails, but still shiny. I use it on my Konad-set as well.

553 black passion,This is a black but with silvery glitters in it so I call it shimmer. Love using this on my Konad-set as well. Don't like it as a base color on my fingernails.

546 rainbow, ooeehh my first flakie. I dont like to use this on it's own. Always on a different colored base, mostly purple or black ones. Love the iridiscent colors on the flakes.

565 fix base, a base-coat specialy for holographic polishes. I also use this for the OPI DS ones. OPI does have it's own base-coat on market, but this one works fine for me.
