Gold and black geometric nail art

Hi there,
it's a bit late for a New Years Eve nail art but I'm still in the mood for glamour and sparkles.

Some time ago Born Pretty Store came out with a new line of stamping plates and...surprise surprise with one of the most beautiful geometric plates I have ever seen!
They were so kind to send me thise plate and some others brand new items to try.

The plate is rectangular, approx 12x6 cm and it provides 20 geometric designs, some are quite big so they can fit longer and larger nails and some others (in the central part of the plate) are smaller. I think these tiny designs are meant to be overlapped or mixed with the bigger ones to create a double stamping look. The designs are engraved very well and the images easily transfer on any stamper.

Moreover these kind of geometric patterns are perfect with reverse stamping technique, you can fill in the gap with any colour you like.

I really appeciate the simple and elegant look of this plate. It reminds me of some art nouveau design or some sci-fi decorations. I tried a smooth look with the tones of gold, white, black and nude negative space. I added a couple of studs here and there. As you can see from pictures this plate offers endless possibilities and combinations.

The process of this nail art was made even easier by this fantastic tool: manicure saver cotton claw.

This is a unique device that allow you to remove polish from your nails or stamping plates without even touching the acetone soaked cotton ball.
At first sight it looks like a pen,a plastic bronze stick. You can push in the button on one end and the claw part will open to hold the cotton ball or pad in place. At this point you can soak the cotton with acetone and start cleaning with no mess for your finger nails.

I think this tool is a life saver, I really love it!
