Thanks!
Here's yesterday's attempt to create a "circuit board" looking design. Not really what I wanted, but it's kinda silly and fun.

Oh ... those are cute! ... not sure they look quite like circuit boards ... more a sailor suit kind of design, but sooo much better than I'd manage! x

I started with Color Club Harp On It which is a holographic light blue, (and took forever to dry) then did a stripe down the middle of China Glaze Rare & Radient (which is green/gold duochrome) and then some overlapping stamping to create a feathery look.
I also discovered that my phone camera will take a photo if you say "cheese" or "shoot". :)

... oooh, those are really cool! ... I realised I've totally failed to stamp my nails recently ... I've been settling for solid colour instead ... currently dark blue with one nail a glittery blue ... need some more konad white polish ... I have black, but I rarely wear nail varnish light enough for black stamping! x

Have you tried the silver Konad polish? ... I've been umming & aaahing 'bout whether to buy it or not! x

Yes, this one was done with silver. The biggest thing I've found is the importance of contrast, and if your contrast isn't great, then you need to use a plate with wider lines.

... yup ... similar colours just blend together! ... I usually use dark blues, purples, cherries & blacks ... so I think I should be able to get away with silver ... I am a fan of the delicate plates ... assuming I can persuade them to work!
