Press Sample

Good evening! Today I have a some stamping from Bundle Monster's Shangri-La collection to share with you. Bundle Monster's Shangri-La stamping plate collection consists of 10 square plates with abstract designs. You can buy the set of 10 plates or buy each plate individually. Here are the 3 plates I received for review. Click to enlarge.

For this mani I used OPI Products O Suzi Mio and stamped using BM-S105 in Mundo de Unas Fuchsia and Purple. 

The designs on the plates are very intricate and I'm impressed they transferred beautifully and easily onto my nails. The Shangri-La plates offer a variety of images such as paisley, floral, and tribal print. You can purchase the set of 10 plates here for $14.99 or individual plates here for $2.49 each.

Jack Skellington Nails

Hi again! I've decided to post both of my Halloween manis today since tomorrow will be November and that's too late unacceptable. Here's the other look I did with Jack Skellington. I used OPI My Gondola or Yours and stamped using MoYou London Pro 01 (stripes) and Fab Ur Nails FUN 1 (Jack) in Mundo de Unas White. Hope everyone has a fun and safe evening tonight!

Drippy Blood Nails

Happy Halloween my spooktacular friends! I did this quick Halloween mani using OPI Tiramisu for Two and stamped using MoYou London Festive 16 in Mundo de Unas Red. I purchased the entire OPI Venice Collection in both regular nail polish and gel and I'm so loving each shade so far!

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.

Bundle Monster Polynesia Stamping Plates Review

**Press Sample**

Happy Saturday beauties! Today I'll be reviewing Bundle Monster's Polynesia stamping plates. These plates are rectangular XL plates that come in sets of 5 plates. There are 4 sets to choose from: Local Kine, Land of Aloha, Traditional Polynesia, and Polynesian Tribal. Each plate measures 4.75 in x 2.4 in and the design size is 0.9 in. x 0.6 in. The designs are either full nail or buffet style. I received the Polynesian Tribal set. 

Morgan Taylor All White Now stamped using Bundle Monster Polynesia BM-XL117 in Mundo de Unas Black. The red is OPI Romantically Involved.

I loved this set of plates! The designs are a great size for big nails and the variety of images was excellent and fit the theme perfectly. I was so happy to get this set because my husband is Tongan and there is a Tonga plate! Something to note is that 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. You can purchase this set of plates here for $15.99. That's a steal because they're regularly $19.99!

UberChic Beauty--Stamping Plate Collection 3 Review

**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. Each plate measures 9.5cm by 14.5cm and the full nail images measure 17mm x 21mm. Below are my scanned images of each plate. 

Color Club Feathered Hair Out to There stamped using UberChic Beauty plate 3-03 in Mundo de Unas Spring Green, Pastel Yellow, and Aqua

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.

Madam Glam Baby Pink & OPI Which Is Witch

**Press Sample**

Hi friends! Today I have a quick post for you today. I'm moving this weekend so I've been super busy getting everything ready for that. Moving all of my nail polish is an enormous task in itself, but moving that and everything else has me feeling super swamped!

Here's Madam Glam Soak-Off Gel Polish Baby Pink with a glitter gradient using OPI Which Is Witch. I adore this shade of baby pink and I got so many compliments on it. It's a great palette cleanser without going with a nude. You can purchase this polish here for $19.95.

OPI Hello Hawaii-Ya & MoYou London Tropical 02

Happy Tuesday! Quick post today. Here's OPI Hello Hawaii-Ya stamped using MoYou London Tropical 02 in OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest. I love how the shimmer from Every Month Is Oktoberfest shows up in the flowers!

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? 

Mint Green with Silver Polka Dots

Happy Mother's Day! Today I have a mani from last month and this one has a little story to it. I did this mani on Easter even though I already did an Easter themed manicure for my blog. I used a pastel color since I was still in the Easter spirit. During the week that I wore this, I found out the night before that graduation pictures were the next day. I didn't have time to change it up, so now this is the mani in my graduation photos. I wish I knew ahead of time, but in the end I guess it's not a terrible thing. I'm happy I actually had my nails painted and used gel so it my polish didn't have any chips.

I used OPI GelColor That's Hula-rious and stamped using Konad M79 in Mundo de Unas Silver.

Here's my grad pic with this mani! I just have one more paper to turn in and in 2 weeks I'll officially be done with school! Yay!

OPI Do You Take Lei Away & MoYou London Tropical 01

Happy Friday beauties! I'm so happy that Spring is here because that means lots of colorful manis and floral prints to come! Here's my first one using one of the polishes from the OPI Hawaii Collection.

I used OPI Do You Take Lei Away and stamped using MoYou London Tropical 01 in Mundo de Unas White.

I added some gold glitter in the center of the flowers to make it pop. You probably can't tell, but I made this into a gel manicure with Gelibility. I love having my stamped manis last me all week at work now. I just need to figure out a way to use studs with gel and get through the week without them falling off. I've already tried anchoring the stud with gel topcoat, curing, then adding 2 coats of topcoat and curing. Any suggestions?!

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*

OPI Aloha From OPI & Born Pretty Store Water Decals

Happy Saturday! I promised to post this weekend since last weekend kind of slipped away from me. Today I have one of my favorite colors from the OPI Hawaii collection. Here's OPI Aloha From OPI with Born Pretty Store water decals. I loooove this decal design. It's great for if you're on a time crunch for nail art or want a cute pedi, but don't want to do a lot of work. I actually wore this mani as a Gelibility mani a couple weeks ago, but I hated my pics so I did it again and left it as regular polish. I also spent over $200 on gel polish last weekend. I am becoming such a gel polish lover. What is happening to me?!

Black & Blue or White & Gold? Inspired by "The Dress"

Hey loves! I usually post on the weekends, but the dress with questionable colors is such a hot topic right now that I just had to post this sooner. I wanted to do this as soon as I saw Tam from ohmygoshpolish do a mani inpired by this dress. I'm sure you all have seen the photo of the dress over the weekend in which some people see as black and blue and others see as white and gold. I saw the dress as white and gold, but apparently the real dress is black and blue! 

For my index and pinky I used OPI Eurso Euro and stamped using MoYou London Pro 01 XL in Mundo de Unas Black. For my middle and ring I used Color Club On Cloud Nine and stamped using MoYou London Pro 01 in Mundo de Unas Bronze. So what colors did you all see when you saw the dress? And more importantly, what color are my nails?!

Delicate White Lace Stamping

Happy Friday my friends! Sorry I didn't get a chance to post last weekend. I went on a last minute little getaway to Angels Camp, a cute little city here in California. I did a lot of swatching of Glam Polishes over the past couple of weeks so I'll be sharing those with you guys soon! Today I have a mani I wore a couple weeks ago and I love how it turned out.

I used Essie Sugar Daddy and stamped using MoYou London Bridal 06 in Mundo de Unas White. The pink is OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops and the glitter is China Glaze Glistening Snow--my favorite silver glitter polish!

Also, I never thought I'd say this, but my round nails are growing on me! I haven't had any breaks since I changed my shape and I was so busy last week that I didn't get a chance to file my nails, but the shape is still fine. When I had squares I had to re-file them every week. I even wore this mani to work all week and it's just regular polish and it lasted the whole week with no chips. I'm kind of amazed. I'll probably be keeping this shape for a long time!

Fifty Shades of Grey Inspired Nail Art

Hey ladies! I'm sure a lot of you have either read or watched Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm almost done with book 2 of the trilogy and I just watched the movie this weekend. I love the books so far, but the movie was alright. Anyways, I did these Fifty Shades of Grey inspired nails using the OPI Fifty Shades of Grey collection, duh! Here's OPI Cement the Deal stamped using Bundle Monster BM-420, Cheeky CH55, and MoYou London Biker 02 in OPI Dark Side of the Mood. The glitter is OPI Shine for Me.

I don't care much for grey on me, but I love this collection, because my hubby went to the nail supply store all by himself to get it for me and surprised me with it along with 2 dozen roses!

Conversation Heart Candy Nail Art

Happy Friday my friends! Today after class I'm going to watch Fifty Shades of Grey. I did a Fifty Shades themed mani and I'll be sharing that with you lovelies on Sunday. Today I have another Valentine's themed design that looks like those adorable little conversation heart candies. I used 4 polishes from the OPI Hawaii collection: That's Hula-rious, Suzi Shops & Island Hops, Is Mai Tai Crooked, and Hello Hawaii Ya. I stamped using Bundle Monster BM-425 in Mundo de Unas Reddish.

Hugs & Kisses for Valentine's Day

Hi loves! I'm trying to get a good amount of Valentine's nail art posted before it's over and I can't use those stamping images for another year lol. Last year at this time I was so busy with my new job and I was taking my blogging break so I'm happy to finally put my Valentine's stamping images to use.

I made this gel mani with Gelibility, but my mistake was that I used a red crelly. From now on, I won't be using a crelly or jelly with Gelibility since mixing Gelibility dilutes the polish. It doesn't make much of a difference with cremes, but with OPI Red Hot Rio it took me 4 coats for opacity!

I used OPI Red Hot Rio, Zoya Pixie Dust Chyna, and Morgan Taylor All White Now and stamped using Bundle Monster BM-411 in Mundo de Unas Black.

UberChic Beauty Stamping Plates--Review

**Press Sample**

Good morning Stampaholics! I'm sure a lot of you have heard about UberChic Beauty--the new brand of stamping plates that just launched about a week or so ago. Today I'll be reviewing them and sharing a few manicures I did with the plates.

UberChic Beauty is a small company based in Colorado. They sell stamping plates, glitter dust, and magical dust. There are 2 plate collections available right now. Each collection includes 3 plates. A collection is $24.99, which comes to about $8.33 per plate. I chose collection 2 to review. The plates come with the blue protective film that is to be removed before use.

Here's a size comparison next to a MoYou London plate. The UberChic Beauty plate is 9.5 cm x 14.5 cm. The UberChic designs are 1.7 x 2.1 cm (MoYou London designs are 1.5 x 2 cm). The plates have a paper backing to them kind of like what's on the back of a Bundle Monster plate. 

Here are a few manicures I did using the plates. 

Watercolor mani using OPI Sheer Tints (I Can Teal You Like Me, I'm Never Amberassed, Be Magentale With Me, and Don't Violet Me Down) over a white base stamped using UC plate 2-01 in Mundo de Unas Black.

China Glaze Liquid Leather stamped using UC plate 2-01 in A-England Princess Tears. Middle nail is A-England Princess Tears stamped using UC plate 2-01 in Mundo de Unas Black.

OPI I Sing In Color stamped using UC plate 2-02 in Essie Good As Gold. Glitter is OPI All Sparkly and Gold.

I didn't have any trouble picking up the images. The etching of the plates are great quality and didn't rip up my cotton when I cleaned the images. Some of the images are really large like the heart image on the 1st plate and the hibiscus image on the 3rd plate so you'll only be able to see a part of the image once stamped on your nail, but majority of the images are patterns so that wouldn't happen often. I was really pleased with the quality of these plates and there's a good variety of images available to choose from. You can purchase these plates here for $24.99. There is a $5.99 flat shipping rate on US orders and $15 for international orders.
