Sinful Colors Clementine Swatches and Stamping

     So much has been going on this week that I have had no time to do anything to my nails.  I took part in Mash's nail plate sale they had  this last weekend.  I was able to purchase plates 26-50 for $12.99 with free shipping!  I got them on Wednesday and let me tell you how excited I am to try them all out.  You guys better prepare your selves for a lot of stamping posts!
     I originally used Clementine on Wednesday because I wanted to stamp with it but then ran out of time to actually stamp it.  I ended up redoing it so I could play with my new plates.  The only thing that I do not like about this color is it stained a little.  Not as bad as Why Not but I did have to use some baking soda and water to scrub my cuticles clean.  I did get a lot of compliments when I wore just the color so that was nice.  I am slowly warming up to wearing oranges, especially for summer.

One thing I really like about the image I stamped is that you can turn the image sideways like I did on my pinky for an entirely different look.

I also finished this mani really late at night so I couldn't take any pictures in the natural light for the swatches.
