Stamping skittles

Ok, I know I suck at stamping (I can never seem to do it quickly enough, damn!) but still I liked the outcome of this attempt (it's not perfect, but compared to most of my previous tries it pretty much looks perfect, trust me), so here goes.

- Thumbnail: I used Kiko 336 (love it!) stamped with Maybelline Forever Strong 820 (works really well for stamping and it's great as a nail polish too!) using Betina plate B-02;

- Index: Astra purple holographic 708 stamped with Essence stampy polish in matte black and Konad plate m51;

- Medium: Astra green holographic 705 stamped with Essence stampy polish in matte black and Konad m65;

- Ring: Essence Nail Colour 3 in "05 Boys are back in town" stamped with Essence stampy polish in matte black and BM21 plate;

- Pinky: Essence Nail Colour 3 in "04 A walk in the park" stamped with Essence stampy polish in matte black and Konad m65.

Now, the Astra holographic polishes (at least 705 and 708) are not really holographic, or rather they have some kind of scattered holo effect (definitely not linear though), with the green one being the weaker of the 2, although to be fair to it I have to say that the colour is gorgeous and does have that dreamlike quality that holos usually have. So yeah, both shades are really nice so they make up for the "weak holo" disappointment.

I'm sooo feeling the Essence duos right now, here I have 04 and 05 on and I adore them, my pics don't do them justice. The other ones in the collection are gorgeous too, you can't go wrong with them. Thumbs up from me!
