OPI GelColor What's the Hatter with You & MoYou London Holy Shapes 03


Hi beauties! Sorry it's been awhile since my last post. I've been sick the last 2 weeks and haven't felt up to doing much. Here's a mani I did using a new stamping polish I got from Bundle Monster.

I used OPI GelColor What's the Hatter with You and stamped using MoYou London Holy Shapes 03 in Bundle Monster Nation's Treasure.

The stamping polish was okay. It seems like it's made up of fine glittery flakes rather than pigmented polish. I tried to use another stamping polish (I Bleed Blue) in the trio set it came in and I had difficulty getting it to pick up or transfer due to the glitter particles. You can purchase this polish here in the trio for $12.99.

Turquoise Nails with Madam Glam Gel Polish On My Way


Happy Saturday! I have some turquoise inspired nails to share with you today. I wore these on my vacation to Cancun in June. I used a beautiful turquoise shade from Madam Glam--On My Way. I did the gold sponging with China Glaze Mingle with Kringle and stamped using MoYou London Explorer 05 in Wet N Wild Black Creme. I love how these turned out! They wore so well that I wore them for a week after I came back from vacation. You can purchase this polish here for $19.95.

Madam Glam Gel Polish--Holo Party


Happy Friday friends! Here's a mani I did a couple months ago with a new gold glitter gel polish from Madam Glam. It's Madam Glam Holo Party stamped using Fab Ur Nails FUN 17 in Mundo de Unas Nabu. I can't remember if I used 2 or 3 coats, but it has great coverage and I can see myself using Holo Party a lot as an accent nail with any color! You can purchase this polish here for $19.95.

Kiesque Liquid Palisade Review


Today I have a review on Kiesque Liquid Palisade. This was the first product I saw when these nail barrier products came out and I really wanted to try it, but the price tag was a little to steep for me. When I was asked to review this product, I jumped at the opportunity! Liquid Palisade is a product you apply around your nails and cuticles for a mess and hassle free clean up. I chose to try it out with a gradient and some stamping.



After removing the Liquid Palisade. There's minimal clean up left. That's as good as it's going to get with a gradient and stamping!


I used OPI Let's Be Friends, Small + Cute =❤️,  & Look at my Bow and stamped using MoYou London Bridal 06 in Mundo de Unas Black. 

Before trying out Liquid Palisade, I would use Liquid Latex that I purchased from Amazon. I liked liquid latex because you get a ton of product (4 oz) for about $9, but it dries super slow and I have to apply it with a Q-tip because it doesn't come with a brush and it also ruined a nail brush I tried to apply it with. Liquid Palisade is more expensive, but it applies so much easier with the brush that it comes with and dries so fast. The only cons about Liquid Palisade are that it's a bit pricey ($14 for 0.08 oz) and sometimes when you use it with stamping, removal of the LP takes a little bit of the stamped image along with it if it's near the sides of your nail. Other than that I really enjoyed using this product and I find myself using it more often than my Liquid Latex now. You can purchase this product here for $14.

Bundle Monster Weekend Warrior Creative Art Stamping Polishes--Review


Good morning beauties! Today I have the Weekend Warrior stamping polishes from Bundle Monster to review for you. There are 6 polishes in this set including a coral red (Rose Garden), orange (Teepee Tipping), yellow (Gobi You), neon green (Empire Club), sky blue (Astronomical), and purple (El Dorado). The consistency was very thick and stringy, but pigmentation was great. I stamped over OPI Suzi Nails New Orleans using Bundle Monster BM-S308 with all 6 Weekend Warrior polishes. I was pleased with the transfer and pigmentation, but when I topcoated, the purple bled. I was pretty bummed about that, but I'lll still be giving these another try. You can purchase these here for $19.99 or purchase them individually here for $4.99 each.

Madam Glam Gel Matte Top Coat Review


Happy Friday everyone! Today I'll be reviewing a gel matte top coat from Madam Glam. It comes in a different bottle than their regular SOG's. It's a cylindrical bottle shape and it's 10ml instead of the usual 15ml. Here I used Madam Glam gel Cherry Party and stamped using MoYou London Mandala 02 in Mundo de Unas Black.

I used 1 coat of top coat on my nails that I didn't stamp and 3 coats on my stamped nails (I always topcoat before stamping and do 2 after to protect the design). Don't do what I did. I had THE. HARDEST. TIME. removing this mani! The nails I topcoated once took about twice as long as it usually takes me, but the ones with 3 coats of TC were not budging and I had to scrape and file off.

Aside from my removal nightmare, the formula was pretty thick. It felt like a glue type of consistency and it took a little effort to work with it. The matte effect looked great though! If I were to use this again I would definitely just do 1 coat of this topcoat and that's it (and I'd probably have to go sans nail art). You can purchase this product here for $19.95.

Good morning! Guess what I have to share with you today. You got it--another SOG from Madam Glam. This one's called Stylishly Fashionable and it had the usual perfect, creamy formula as all of their other cremes. I stamped over it with MoYou London Holy Shapes 03 in Mundo de Unas Bronze. Thank goodness for clear stampers now otherwise placement would have been a nightmare! You can purchase this gel here for $19.95.

Madam Glam Soak Off Gel Polish--Dangerously in Love


Happy Saturday friends! Sorry I didn't post last week. I've kinda been in a funk and my laptop I've had for the last 5 years has been SUPER slow. The good news is I got a new laptop this week and it's so much faster than my old one! YAY! I'm super happy about it so hopefully since my laptop is faster,  I'll be more motivated to post. 

Here's Madam Glam Soak Off Gel Polish in Dangerously in Love. It's a stunning raspberry with scattered holo glitter in it. I don't have any gels quite like this one and it's beautiful in the sunlight. The formula was a little bit thick to work with than my other MG creme gels, but it was definitely still manageable and worth it. You can purchase this polish here for $19.95.

OPI My Twin Mimmy & MoYou London Holy Shapes 03


Happy Sunday! Here's OPI My Twin Mimmy stamped using MoYou London Holy Shapes 03 in Mundo de Unas Black. My ring finger has OPI Never Have Too Mani Friends. I got perfect placement using Fab Ur Nails clear stamper and I absolutely love it! I would normally avoid using an image like this over regular polish, but I did it and I got the placement down perfectly on my first try. The stamper firmness is halfway between firm and squishy. The only thing I had to get used to is that this works best to stamp straight up and down because I usually stamp by rolling. Thanks Johanne for letting me try this stamper! You can purchase it here from her online shop.

Madam Glam Purple Pink & MoYou London Tropical 02


Good morning everyone! I can't believe it's April already. I feel like this year is flying by. I have another beautiful gel polish from Madam Glam to share with you. This one is Madam Glam Purple Pink stamped using MoYou London Tropical 02 in Mundo de Unas Pastel Yellow & Neon Green. It had perfect application and coverage as usual. This is 2 easy coats. I adore shades like this, but in regular nail polish they're usually so quick to chip. I'm so happy I finally have this shade in a gel! You can purchase this gel polish here for $19.95.

Lucky Nails with MoYou London Festive 21


Hi friends! St. Paddy's Day is coming up and that means I can finally use my plate from MoYou London that I got last year. Here's OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI stamped using MoYou London Festive 21 in Mundo de Unas Black. The green is OPI I'm Sooo Swamped and the gold is China Glaze I'm Not Lion. I lurrrve how these turned out! I used my new clear stamper from Fab Ur Nails and it would've taken me so much time and so many attempts to get this perfect placement, but instead it just took ONE. I can finally say bye to starting all over when I stamp over regular nail polish. Yay for clear stampers!

Pinky has OPI Liquid Sand Solitaire. Now this image didn't need that much help with placement, but it definitely helped. I have a lot more manis coming up that I did with my new clear stamper that make me so grateful to finally have a clear stamper in my life!

Bundle Monster Lotus Mat Review


Happy Saturday loves! Today I have the Bundle Monster Lotus Mat to review. It's a large, silicone mat you can use for many things like making decals, testing stamping combinations, swatching, mixing colors, and protecting the surface of your workspace. 



Here are some decals I made.



OPI I Manicure for Beads and stamping decals made with Mundo de Unas Black, MoYou London Explorer 27 plate, and filled with OPI Spare Me a French Quarter, OPI Rich Girls & Po-Boys, and OPI I'm Sooo Swamped


OPI Crawfishin' for a Compliment and stamping decals made with Mundo de Unas White, MoYou London Explorer 03 plate, and filled with OPI Got Myself into a Jam-balaya, OPI She's a Bad Muffuletta, and OPI Suzi Nails New Orleans


The sizes of the nails on the mat are kind of massive.

Overall, I love the mat. I have it on my nail desk now. It works great for decals and protecting my work space surface and is easily cleaned with acetone and cotton. The only thing I would change is make the sizes of the nails on the mat smaller since it doesn't give you a realistic idea of what the decal will actually look like on your nail. Other than that it's great! You can purchase the mat here for $13.99.
