OPI Cement The Deal & MoYou London Fashionista 04

Hello beauties! This weekend just flew by and I still need to do a St. Paddy's day mani. Yikes! I might just wake up early and do my nails before work. Today I have a grey and yellow chevron design to share with you. I used OPI Cement The Deal and stamped using MoYou London Fashionista 04 in Mundo de Unas Pastel Yellow. I really like how this turned out, but the grey gave me lobster hands as grey polish always does to me. *sadface*

Bundle Monster 2013 Create Your Own Stamping Plate Collection Review

The wait is over! Bundle Monster has finally released their 2013 Create Your Own Stamping Plate Collection. Earlier this year, they had fans submit their designs to be chosen for this collection. The process of selecting winners and producing the plates has taken some time, but I'm glad I finally have them to review for you today. The set is comprised of 26 plates and all of the images are fan created. There is a huge variety of images in this collection including patterns, tribal print, nautical, nerdy, gamer, sugar skulls, sports, music, animals, and romantic images. The list goes on, but when I say variety, I mean it! There are a lot of full nail images and single images as well. Here are a few manis I have already did using the new plates.

Here's the packaging for the plates. It has a zip lock so you can keep the plates in there if you wanted to. You can also see the plates have the same backing as their other sets to prevent you from getting cut on sharp edges.

All of the plates come with blue film to protect the plates from getting scratched in transit. You must remove it before use.

OPI A Piers to be Tan stamped using BM 410 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Orange Impulse

It was so much fun creating this crime scene mani. I used China Glaze Liquid Leather and OPI My Boyfriend Scales walls and stamped using BM 421, 414, 416, and 409 in Konad Yellow, MASH Black, China Glaze With Love, and Konad White. 

The small circles on the DNA image (pinky) didn't want to pick up on my Konad stamper, but I switched to my XL squishy stamper and it picked up with ease. I will also say I am impressed at how clear the caution tape details came out so crisp.

OPI My Boyfriend Scales walls stamped using BM 423 in Konad Black. The red is OPI First Date at the Golden Gate and the glitter is China Glaze Glistening Snow. The zig zag image is the image I was looking forward to the most because achieving this image with tape/zig zag scissors or polish decal/zig zag scissors is not always user or time friendly. (Manicure inspired by Selenadee Nails)

The new set is the exact same size as BM 3 and BM Holiday sets.

Click for enlargement. I don't usually include my scans, but I really want to show all of the creative images in this set.

I really love this set. The images are so fun and creative and I am already planning out so many manicures. There is a ton of variety and the quality is just as good as BM's other sets. The best part--the whole set of 26 plates is only $16.50. It is their largest and cheapest set. You can purchase Bundle Monster's 2013 Create Your Own Stamping Plate Collection here.

Stars & Chevron Stripes

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts. I would've posted something yesterday, but when I was going to do my nails the power went out. Anyways, here's my 4th of July mani. I wanted to do a few, but I've just been busy the last few days. For this mani I used OPI Swimsuit... Nailed It and OPI Danke Shiny Red and stamped using PUEEN 24 and PUEEN 03 in Konad White. I would've used some other images, but I'm so anal that I like to use images in the same set or brand lol, psyyychooo.

My Vampire is Hotter than Warsaw

Happy Friday! Lol I had trouble coming up with a title for today's post. Today I have a quick mani I did while studying so my nail art is minimal. I used 3 colors I got from the OPI Euro Centrale Collection. I used OPI My Vampire is Buff, OPI My Paprika is Hotter than Yours, and OPI I Saw... U Saw... We Saw... Warsaw. I can't wait to play more with this collection!

Christmas Chevrons

YAY, I'm officially on winter break! I have one more semester left and then I'll be an RN! Anyways enough about school, I'm pretty sure my last few posts included me whining about it lol. I have been wanting to do some festive manis so I got right to it. I did this one really quickly so I can do another mani, so don't mind any imperfections =P I did a simple chevron design using A England Perceval and Zoya Holly. It's simple, but I really like how it came out.

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 30: Inspired by a Tutorial

Happy Saturday loves. I'm almost at the end of the challenge, one more day! I have no idea what I'm going to do tomorrow for the challenge, but I want to finish off strong. I really enjoyed today's theme. It's inspired by a tutorial. This kind of gave me the opportunity to try something I've pinned or always wanted to do, but never got around to it. The one I did today is from a tutorial by Sarah at Chalkboard Nails and you can watch her video tutorial here. It was pretty easy, mine do not look perfect like hers, but I'm still super happy with how they turned out. I used China Glaze Electric Pineapple, China Glaze Papaya Punch, and Zoya Reagan. I really want to try this one out again!
