Dark Grey with Gold Lace Half Moon Stamping | Twinsie Tuesday
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt this time around is grey and gold and I have some dark grey nails with gold lace half moon stamping.
I don’t personally think grey and gold go brilliantly well together. Grey is a cold colour and gold is a warm one. Grey goes much better with silver I think. So to make it work, I chose a darkish grey that could almost be black (Essie Cashmere Bathrobe), and stamped with gold. I think they go OK together.
I used one of the Bundle Monster blogger collaboration plates, from set 2, BM-XL206. This is Nailstamp4fun’s plate – thanks Swanette. Her plate has a large lace design and some smaller, lace patterns, floral designs and a couple of a geometric images too.
I used one of the French tip lace designs and decided to use it as a half moon stamping instead of a tip.
I love this Bundle Monster set and have more designs using other plates coming up soon. You can buy this plate on its own from the Bundle Monster website for $4.99, or you can purchase the entire set of five plates for a slightly less per plate, at $19.99.

That lace stamping design is so intricate. Its gorgeous!
It’s so sophisticated!
You’re so right grey goes much better with silver than gold, but boy did you make it work! This is a very sophisticated and pretty design!
Oh my god! This is so very pretty ^^ <3
Honey, I have another question to you about blog design. How do you prepare your gallery pages. I want to have something like that but couldn't achieve it :/
Hi Alice – my blog is a self-hosted WordPress one, and the gallery functionality comes as part of the theme/Wordpress itself. I see your blog is a Blogger one – there may well be some functionality or an add-on that you can add for Blogger, but I don’t know much about Blogger. Are you in any nail or blogging Facebook groups? Perhaps ask in one of those – people are usually helpful 🙂
I see. Yes, I use Blogger and I really couldn’t find a way to do what I want :/
I’m in Twinsie Tuesday group, but I do not know any other nail groups on facebook. Can you suggest me some? ^^
I love the subtle shimmer in the your base polish – it compliments the gold stamping. I too used a dark grey base for my mani.
