Before my husband and I left for a quick New Year trip, I wanted to stamp some snowflakes with one of my new Bundle Monster plates.
I used Konad White, and BM-323. This is over the China Glaze Refreshmint + Piggy Polish Tic Tac Toes that I posted about earlier.
Its so cute together!
Okay, I’m getting my giveaway ready to post next. 🙂
When they had the Orly Haute Look sale, I got Au Champagne half-off. I had a feeling I’d be able to stamp with it. I’m so glad I was right! It just has the frostier look than a silver.
The burgundy is an old Maybelline Colorama polish called Vampire Seduction, and it somehow still applied really well, like it was still new.
The image was from the new Bundle Monster 2012 set, plate BM-323.
And I have to add… I am LOVING Vampire Diaries this season. 😀
I was so excited to get my new Bundle Monster plates from Amazon! I went to a wedding over the weekend and wanted to try out one of the new designs.
The two plates I tested really worked well! The designs were really etched in deep and they were large enough to even cover my thumb with a lot left over!
Butter London – Toff with Flormar – 389 stamped over, using the new Bundle Monster Plate – BM 314
I reallllly wish their new plates came with a coffee cup design. I thought they said they would with the next set but maybe I’ll have to keep waiting. If you want to see the designs that they did use, check this out:

Oh, I had SUCH high hopes for using the Bundle Monster plate BM 220!
As soon as I got it, I couldn’t wait until winter to use it. I ended up making quite a mess instead of the cute little peppermint tips I kept dreaming up. haha!
I did a coat of white first, then put some red over it (Rimmel Rapid Ruby) and stamped with the Konad white, so that the red would show through the gaps. It just didn’t show up as cleanly as I thought it would. Then I tried to go back over the messed up spots with white. When I tried to clean up the smile line with the brush, the red started kind of bleeding out of the bottom too, so I finished it up with the white line.
It was still a mess so I thought putting a coat of the Sally Hansen Diamonds would help since its just clear glass fleck and might smooth it out a little?
Ugh, I hope to be able to do this again and have it look like a lot less of a mess. 🙂
This was some experimenting I did before the french manicure that I posted in my last post!
First, I put a layer of ManGlaze – Mayonnaise on, so that I could see what these hot pinks were going to look like over white!
Here is a swatch, its a matte white polish with some shimmer!
Here were my hot pinks and one neon green I was going to try while I was at it:
From left to right, those are Color Club – Screamin Fucshia, Konad – Psyche Pink, Sally Hansen – Sonic Bloom, a Kiss nail art polish in Bikini Coral, Revlon Scented – Raspberry Rapture, Sally Hansen – Orange You Cute, Zoya – Ali, Illamasqua – Lament, Diamond Cosmetics nail art polish in neon green, Essie – Pink Parka, and Zoya – Lolly
The 3 on the right didn’t work at all (Diamond Cosmetics nail art polish in neon green, Essie – Pink Parka, and Zoya – Lolly)! But all of the ones on the right did!
Here they are stamped with the new bundle monster plates!
I wanted to send Jules and Olivia for giving me the blog awards (below) so I sent them a new Bundle Monster plate. Olivia said she’s never done any nail stamping at all, so I sent her a stamper and a Revlon metallic silver polish to try stamping with.
I also made her a quick tutorial video and put it on YouTube, so I’ll post it here.
When I did my Easter Giveaway, the thing that was said the most in response to me asking if there’s anything you’d like to see more of was tutorials! So here’s my first one… I WILL use a better camera next time and I won’t be such a spaz maybe? 🙂
First of all, here’s the link to buy the new Bundle Monster plates! I’m sooo excited.
