Fran says she used Sally Hansen, Diamond Strength-65 Nude Shimmer. She says it's no longer online, but the closest she would recommend is 22 Sheer Bliss- lighter, but similar. Thanks for watching and good luck with your nail polish!

Hi Fran, I'm an avid crafter and love your frantage range and stamps, but I have to tell you that melting the powders is a real pain and I used to get them everywhere. I've solved it by using 350gsm card and popping my items under a pre-heated grill for a few seconds. No mess, no fuss and instant results. If I want to stamp into your enamels, I take a piece of card and wrap it in foil, put the powders and fragments on, melt it under the grill and stamp into it. It peels right off when cool xxx
