Madam Glam Not Your Usual White--Swatch & Review

**Press Sample**

Hello my polished pretties! Today I have a new gel polish shade from Madam Glam to share with you called Not Your Usual White. It's a beautiful iridescent white with a purple shimmer. I wasn't able to photograph the purple shimmer very well, but the effect is much more noticeable in person. I stamped it with MoYou London Tropical 19 in Mundo de Unas Purple and added some hex glitter from Born Pretty Store. You can purchase this polish here for $19.95.

Gelish Look At You, Pink-achu & MoYou London Tropical 17

Guess what I have to share with you guys today? You guessed it--another MoYou London Tropical mani! I love this collection so much. For this mani I used Gelish Look at You, Pink-achu and stamped using MoYou London Tropical 17 in Mundo de Unas White. The glitter is Gelish Am I Making You Gelish.

OPI A Roll in the Hague & MoYou London Tropical 17

Good morning! So far I'm doing pretty good at getting my back logged manis posted. I'm caught up through August now, yay! Here's OPI A Roll in the Hague stamped using MoYou London Tropical 17 in Mundo de Unas Bronze. Glitter is OPI All Sparkly and Gold--one of my all time favorite gold glitters. Don't be surprised if you see another MoYou Tropical mani next ;]

Tropical Leaves with MoYou London Tropical 13

Hey dolls! Hope you're all having a great weekend so far. Today I have a mani inspired by my brother-in-law's shirt. It's funny because my sister and I really liked it and he didn't even like it very much. It's OPI Fly stamped using MoYou London Tropical 13 stamped using Mundo de Unas Aqua.

Watermelon Nails with MoYou London Tropical 08

Hi Beauties! Hope your week started off good so far. Here's another summer mani I did a couple months ago. I meant to post it before summer ended, but oh well, it was still 90 degrees where I am in California today so I would say it's appropriate. It's China Glaze Shore Enuff stamped using MoYou London Tropical 08 in Mundo de Unas Green and Neon Pink. My ring finger has Zoya Pixie Dust Arabella. 

Gelish Mali-Blu Me Away & MoYou London Holy Shapes 03

Good morning beauties! Quick post today. Here's a mani from back in April. I wasn't going to end up posting it, but it was already edited so I changed my mind. Here's Gelish Mali-Blu Me Away stamped using MoYou London Holy Shapes 03 in Mundo de Unas White and Neon Pink. The studs are from Born Pretty Store.

Gelish Tahiti Hottie & MoYou London Tourist 17

Happy Sunday everyone! Sorry I didn't post last month. I meant to post before I went on vacation, but I was so busy getting things ready and in addition to that my laptop needed to be fixed so I didn't get a chance to. I'm back and my laptop is fixed so I'll be back to posting regularly. I went to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora. It was so beautiful there! I can't wait to go on another vacation. 

For this mani I used Gelish Tahiti Hottie and stamped using MoYou London Tourist 17 in Mundo de Unas White. Pinky has OPI GelColor Alpine Snow. The polish I used is so fitting as I just came back from there. Tahiti Hottie has easily become one of my favorite Gelish polishes. I'll be sharing more summer manis over this month since I didn't post any of them last month--don't judge me!

JORD Wood Watch Review

**Press Sample**

Good afternoon friends! Today I have a JORD Wood Watch to share with you today. When I was asked to review this item, I jumped at the opportunity not only because they look so unique, but because I had the perfect image to use on my nails that I'll probably never use again lol. The watch I chose to review is the Ely in Maple.

Here's a bit of info on the Ely from the JORD Website:

"Ely is the complement to our Fieldcrest series, produced using a slightly smaller dial and band, with the addition of a date display. The simplicity of this design accentuates the intricacy of the wood grain. The Ely is understated and effortless.

Features:
-Deployment Buckle with Push Button
-Scratch Resistant Mineral
-Citizen Miyota Quartz Movement (2015 w/Date Display)
-Case Width: 37mm
-Case Thickness: 11mm
-Lug Ends: 45mm
-Band Length: 200mm
-Band Thickness: 21mm

Each JORD watch is designed to be splash proof but is not intended for complete submergence in water. Also note that due to the nature of the wood chosen for each unique timepiece, colors and grain pattern may vary from photos."

It came in this beautiful, sturdy wooden box to match. They both smell great!

The watch pairs perfectly with one of my new favorite accessories--my bamboo sunnies.

I felt silly doing an OOTD as I only blog about nails, but I think it turned out pretty good! The Maple color goes great with a monogram Louis for my fellow LV addicts out there.

The watch fit perfectly after following the online instructions to have it sized. Sizing it is available for $10.00 which is very reasonable plus it saves you a trip to a shop.

And of course I have a matching wood grain mani to go with my watch. Here's Color Club Disco's Not Dead stamped using Winstonia 113 in Mundo de Unas Taupe.

I am thrilled to have a JORD Wood Watch. It's great quality, looks beautiful, smells amazing, is easy to match, looks feminine, and has must have features for me like the date and second hand. You can purchase this watch from the JORD Website for $129.

Happy Saturday! The mani I'm sharing today is from June when I went camping. I can't believe it's taking me forever to get all my manis posted from months back. I'll catch up--eventually.

I used Gelish Pop-arazzi Pose and stamped using MoYou London Kaleidoscope 10 in Mundo de Unas Neon Orange.

Bundle Monster Time Machine Stamping Plates Review

**Press Sample**

Hi friends! Today I have Bundle Monster Time Machine plates to share with you. The set consists of 6 plates (BM-XL131 through BM-XL136) with different designs from historical time periods. Each plate measures 4.75 in x 2.4 in. 

Color Club 'Til the Record Stops stamped using Bundle Monster BM-XL132 in Mundo de Unas Chocolate

Here are the two that I received for review.

These XL rectangular plates seem to be etched better than the traditional round plates from Bundle Monster as I didn't have any issues picking up or transferring the image I used. The sizes of the images are great for large nails. A couple of the plates in the set don't strike me as having a time machine theme, but they are cute nonetheless. You can purchase these plates here for $24.99.

**Press Sample**

Good morning! Today I have UberChic Beauty's Collection 3 set of plates to share with you. The set consists of 3 large rectangular plates with both full nail and single images.

OPI Is Mai Tai Crooked stamped using UberChic Beauty plate 3-02 in Mundo de Unas Bronze. Index and pinky have OPI Love Angel Music Baby

Color Club Hot-Hot-Hot Pants stamped using UberChic Beauty plate 3-01 in Mundo de Unas White

As you can see, there's a ton of variety with these plates and all of the images transferred perfectly. I love that Brittany of UberChic Beauty has been releasing new collections pretty often and the sets don't remind me of other brands. You can purchase this set here for $24.99 which is a great deal especially if you're new to stamping and wanted to get a variety of images without breaking the bank.

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate BP-06 Review

**Press Sample**

Happy August! Sorry I wasn't able to post last weekend. July was pretty hectic for me. My car was hit on 4th of July while it was parked and it ended up being totaled. I spent a lot of time looking online and spent a couple of weekends going to car dealerships to look at cars. I finally got a car this week and I'm on cloud nine! The color is Tuxedo Black Metallic and it looks super glittery in the sun--it totally suits me and I love it. Now that I have that situation under control, I can hopefully get back to my neglected nails =[

Today I have a stamping plate from Born Pretty Store to share with you. It's a Sailor Moon themed plate with 10 different images. 

I used Glam Polish Bohemian Rhapsody and stamped using Born Pretty Store plate BP-06 in Mundo de Unas White. I was pleasantly surprised that all of the intricate lines transferred without any issues and I was able to scrape over the larger designs without creating any bald spots. I honestly loved having Sailor Moon on my nails as it brought back so many memories of being obsessed watching it growing up. You can purchase this plate here for $2.99.

Glam Polish I Know You Want Me & MASH 40

Good morning beauties! Quick post today. Here's Glam Polish I Know You Want Me stamped using MASH 40 in Mundo de Unas Black. I haven't done leopard print in so long, but it's always a favorite image of mine! Also, I'm starting to only do one pose for my manis. I hope you guys don't mind. I always take a million photos of each pose just to get a good picture, but since I feel like I take forever just to get a mani posted, I figured it would be one less thing for me to worry about and speed up the process.

Gelish Pacific Sunset & MoYou London Tropical 02 & 12

Happy Memorial Day! I'm enjoying this 3-day weekend. Yesterday I met up with Katherine of Polished by KPT, Reina of reireishnailart, and Lisa of Cosmetic Sanctuary for lunch. It was a ton of fun--and of course we had to take an obligatory nail-fie!

Today I have a bright and summery mani to share with you. I used Gelish Pacific Sunset and stamped using MoYou London Tropical 02 and Tropical 12 in Mundo de Unas Pastel Pink, Pastel Yellow, and Neon Green. This was such a fun mani to wear!

OPI Sheer Tints Gradient & PUEEN 08

Hey friends! I almost wasn't going to post this mani because all my pics with the bottle kept coming out crappy and the stamped stars look like blobs, but I decided to share it anyways because I spent so much time trying to get a good pic of it. I used a base of Glam Polish Now You See Me and then did a gradient using all 4 OPI Sheer Tints: Be Magentale With Me, I'm Never Amberrassed, I Can't Teal You Like Me, and Don't Violet Me Down. Then I stamped using PUEEN 08 in Mundo de Unas Black. I'm not sure why the stars look like blobs because they looked really clear on the stamping plate. I wonder if it has anything to do with the sheer tints--anyone else encounter this issue when stamping over them?
