Hello!
How are you guys? This week has flown by--I've been trying to catch up on everything I let slip while I met my deadline and I feel like I've only accomplished half of it, and it's already Friday! So much to do, so little time...But, I vacuumed, and that's the main thing, lol.
Anyway. Today we're going to take a look at two new plates from Dixie Plates, Summer 03 and Boho 01:
Summer 03 is a fun blend of images to get you through all your summer and vacation fun, and Boho 01 has a ton of lovely henna type images that make it easy to create jewelry for your nails.
Let's jump right in to the manicures, 'cause we all know that's the best part!
For my first mani, I wanted to do something bright and fun and summery. I first sponged coordinating colors over white, then stamped my images in a range of citrus colors:
 |
| Dixie Plates Summer 03 over Sally Hansen Get Mod |
Base Polish(es): Sally Hansen Get Mod
Stamping Plate(s): Dixie Plates Summer 03
Stamping Polish(es): Sally Hansen I-Rush Luck, Lightening, Orange Impulse, sponged with Zoya Bee, Tiana, and Sawyer
For the next mani, I went for Miami Vice meets Hawaii Five-O:
 |
| Dixie Plates Summer 03 over Sally Hansen Persis-Tint |
Stamping Plate(s): Dixie Plates Summer 03
Stamping Polish(es): Kaleidoscope Pink & Mint
For my third mani with the Summer 03 plate, I wanted to go a more elegant direction:
 |
| Dixie Plates Summer 03 over Sally Hansen Molten Mauve |
Base Polish(es): Sally Hansen Molten Mauve
Stamping Plate(s): Dixie Plates Summer 03
Stamping Polish(es): Colour Alike Grenadine
I also had to see how this looked glossy, since that would bring out the holo of the stamping:

For my first Boho 01 mani, I wanted something dramatic to really give a 'nail jewelry' feel:
 |
| Dixie Plates Boho 01 over Stella Chroma Hey, Sailor |
Stamping Plate(s): Dixie Plates Boho 01
Stamping Polish(es): Colour Alike Hot Sand
I loved these colors and images together so much I did a second version, this one with an image from Summer 03:
 |
| Dixie Plates Boho 01 and Summer 03 over Stella Chroma Hey, Sailor |
Stamping Plate(s): Dixie Plates Boho 01 and Summer 03
Stamping Polish(es): Colour Alike Hot Sand
For my final look I wanted to go a little softer:
 |
| Dixie Plates Boho 01 over The Lady Varnishes Make It Rain |
Stamping Plate(s): Dixie Plates Boho 01
Stamping Polish(es): Moonflower Polish El Yunque
What do you think? I love how easy Boho 01 makes elegant looks, and Summer 03 is surprisingly versatile for a plate dedicated to a summer theme, which is always a good thing. :)
Both plates are available now in Dixie Plates' store, and anyplace Dixie Plates are sold. :)
