So I replaced it with Color Club Where’s the Soiree for the base, and Nubar Knight’s Armor for the top. I usually reach for my Wet n Wild Black Creme, but the CC one was within reach so I went for that instead.
Stamped over it with Sally Hansen’s Silver Sweep, off a BM plate. I like it a lot, especially how if I straighten my fingers out so that all the fingertips line, the stamp goes across in a straight line.. 🙂
This mani didn’t really see the light of the day.. literally 😛 (Check out that stamping smudge/hole in my thumb!) I applied it over night, in a total rush to get to bed, then when I woke I realized I was NOT in a red mood. So I swiped it off, and it stained my pinky red.
Base: OPI Off With Her Red! Stamping color: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Silver Sweep.

So you have a lot of plates, like me? How do you organize them?? I knew immediately from when I got my first BM plates (only 21) that there had to be something done. I hated keeping them in a stack because they got knocked over too easily, if I kept them in a drawer they would just move around when the drawer slid open/close, and I DID NOT enjoy going through all 21 of my BM plates when I was looking for a design. I have to have it all laid out before me. 🙂
So when I was browsing Target I thought to go to the photo album section, and went straight to the clearance bin. I picked this album up for about a dollar and a few cents.
See! It’ll do. But one page is too much for a stamping plate. What next?
Cut them in half!
Tape down the halves, obviously, so that the plates don’t fall out!
All neatly in their sleeves! 🙂
Two ways you can go about this– tape together the sections of each page, so that they don’t flop/you don’t have to turn two pages every side…
Like this.
What it would look like if you taped together one page and turned it. Personally, I find both methods have their pros and cons. With one page, you don’t turn as many pages as you would with the sectional/separate pages. However. you have more “grip” on the plates by turning each half individually. The plates tend to try to fall out if you turn the entire page but I have a hand/finger trick to remedy that.
All in their places, like so! 🙂
I saw a blogger use a business card folder that kept three plates to a page, and I thought that was very very neat but my method is much more economical, if you would rather to spend your money on polish and plates like I do!! 😛
What are YOUR ways of storing plates so far?

Began with a coat of China Glaze Let’s Groove, a gorgeous dark purple with a red shimmer.
Stamped with BM 02, with CG Sci-Fi, and the rhinestones from a BM batch.
Left hand
Right hand. Didn’t know this was blurry until it uploaded D:
I’m loving this! I got the BM bunch a while ago but had NOOOO idea how I could incorporate the rhinestones, and recently saw an inspiration, and this was the result 🙂 I love it personally.
