Hello!


I hope you're having a wonderful long weekend! We're going to barbeque some burgers and spend some time welcoming summer. :)


Today I have a layering plate to show you from Messy Mansion that's a ton of fun if you're into cute animals: Messy Mansion Crystal 03. Here's the video review I did of several of their Crystal layering plates:

Let's take a closer look:

These images are all different sizes, so here's a shot with a ruler to help you get a feel for how big they are:

And how does it stamp? Take a look:

Good quality images, and seriously, how adorable are those faces!!!


For my manicure, I wanted to go a different way that full-on cute animal, so I decided to give a my panda a little bit of an urban-graffiti type of feel. I started with a base of Julep Ledi and stamped over it with Messy Mansion Sterling, Carbon, and Chalk, using Messy Mansion Leadlight Lacquer A08 plate for my background:

When I stamped my panda, I first stamped the background in Sterling and then again slightly offset in Chalk to give a shadowed effect and help the panda pop off the black background. Then I stamped my final layer on top in Carbon. I think this is a kicky, fun, happy way to show a little panda love, because I have to admit my little secret--I adore pandas. ;-)


You can find both of these plates and the stamping polishes on Messy Mansion's site, or on Amazon if that's easier for you. And you can follow them around the interwebs here:
