A good while back I'd mentioned the D-Series plates that I got from Chez Delaney, the ones that were sold only as a complete set due to some of them not working 100%. Truthfully, I have yet to run into a stamp that doesn't work, and the same was true today when I broke out the two Halloween-themed plates from the series.
I took pictures of the plates so you can see all of the patterns. They're nice and big - some are too big for my nails even now, which is pretty uncommon amongst available patterns. Of course, I didn't have the good sense to take pictures of the plates before I used them, so they have a little cloudy acetone residue from post-stamping cleaning, which is done when I'm sick of messing with stuff and just want to be finished. This is plate D03 and D04.

I wanted to use the spooky-font "Trick or Treat," but there's no angle at which I can fit anywhere near the whole thing on any nail. There are plenty of others to choose from though, so I'll show you what I did. This isn't intended to be the most fabulous manicure ever, it's more to sample the patterns and show you the size and quality of engraving.
The base color I used was two coats of Barielle Coalest Day of the Year, a good basic charcoal shimmer. It's a two-coater with a respectable drying time, so it seemed like a good choice. I wanted to stamp the patterns in White Konad Princess Polish just because it's reliable and one with which I'm familiar to knock out a variable in terms of how well the stamps worked, and Coalest Day of the Year seemed to offer good contrast without being as stark as a black creme. I gave that a few minutes to dry with Tout de Suite then just went at it with the multistamper and sealed the stamps with Sally Hansen Salon Speed Shine. Here's my amusing Halloween manicure.

The sunlight obscures some of the pattern on my pinky - it's the funny witch at about nine o'clock on plate D03. Every one of the patterns worked well, even the spider web ones (which are always tough) and the scary skull (the ones with a great deal of solid engraved space are also tough). I like it - it's silly and fun without being too immediately attention grabbing, with attention grabbing on a stamp-sampling manicure being the very reason I didn't use and orange base and stamp in black.
That's my Halloween-themed manicure and the update for today, Dear Reader, so until next time, love and nail polish to you!
