UberChic Beauty--Stamping Plate Collection 3 Review


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.

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate BP-06 Review


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.

Madam Glam Baby Pink & OPI Which Is Witch


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.

Happy Saturday! Today I have some swatches of Glam Polish's new Bling It On! trio. The trio consists of three blinged out, ultra holo shades packed full of microglitter. Let's take a peek at these sparkly beauties. Swatches are 3 thin coats with topcoat.

Born Pretty Store Black Iridescent Rhinestones--Review

Hi again! 2 posts in 1 day is so unlike me, but I've been a bad blogger and haven't been keeping up with posting as regularly on my blog as I have been on my IG. Don't worry, you're still seeing everything, just not as quickly. I'll try to do better!

Today I have some black iridescent rhinestones from Born Pretty Store to review. They come in a nail wheel like most other studs and come in a variety of different sizes.




These studs are really beautiful and are a nice change from the typical clear rhinestones. A lot of studs come in the nail wheel so you can get a lot of use out it. You can purchase these studs here for $3.41.

Glam Polish Limited Edition Masters of Illusion Collection Swatches


Happy Saturday loves! Today I have swatches 5 out of the 9 polishes from the new Limited Edition Masters of Illusion collection from Glam Polish to share with you. All swatches are 3 coats with topcoat. Let's take a look at these mesmerizing beauties!

The Prestige--tinted holographic base with ultra holo glitter, iridescent rainbow flakies and sparkly microflakies, glass flecks and shimmer.


Escape Artist--holographic base with ultra holo glitter, cyan/violet flakies, iridescent color shifting glass flecks and shimmer


Sorcerer’s Apprentice-- holographic base with ultra holo glitter, golden/green flakies, iridescent color shifting glass flecks and shimmer.


Death Defying Acts--holographic base with ultra holo glitter, pink/green flakies, iridescent color shifting glass flecks and shimmer.


Mad Magician--holographic base with ultra holo glitter, violet/red flakies, iridescent color shifting glass flecks and shimmer.

The formula of these polishes was easy to work with and built up nicely. These polishes had so much depth to them that it was hard to capture how pretty they truly are. I did nail art over all 5 of these polishes so hopefully you'll get a better look at their beauty when I share those with you this week. 

Rachel of Glam Polish described this collection as consisting of "nine amazing special effect shades with stunning mixes of flakies, holo, microflakies and color shifting glass flecks." She recommends using the color shifting shades (Mad Magician, Prest-o Change-o, Deceptive Practice, Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Death Defying Acts, and Escape Artist) over a base color in order to see the color shift better. 

This collection will be available April 1st at 5pm EST (USA) and April 2nd 8am AEST (AUS). You can purchase these polishes here with shipping to Australia & USA. Shipping rates to USA are $3.50 USD for the first polish and an extra $1.00 for each additional polish.

Bundle Monster Secret Garden Stamping Plate Collection--Review


Good morning beauties! Today I have Bundle Monster's new Secret Garden stamping plate collection to review. There are 25 plates in the set and unlike any of their other plates, these are buffet style. Instead of individual rectangular images, the designs take up the entire plate allowing you to choose what part of the design to use. As always, the plates came with a blue protective film that you remove before use and thick paper backing to prevent any cuts while using the plates. Here's a look at the plates. Click to enlarge.



Here's a couple of manis I did with the plates.


Glam Polish Mesmerize stamped using Bundle Monster BM-719 in Mundo de Unas Pastel Yellow, Pastel Pink, and Spring Green. 



Glam Polish Charmed with stamping decals made using Bundle Monster BM-716 in Mundo de Unas Black. The flowers were filled using OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops and Color Club On Cloud Nine.



I would've had a 3rd mani to show you, but I had trouble picking up and transferring some of the images. I was going to do orange koi fish from BM-725 over a blue base. I tried it over one of the Glam Polishes I swatched and I had trouble with that. I thought it might have been because I had topcoated the polish for swatches (which doesn't typically give me issues) so I tried starting over with an OPI polish for a base color with no topcoat and I still couldn't get it to transfer. I'm not sure if it was just that plate or not because I did have trouble with the purple mani as well and had to remove and re-stamp a couple of nails over. I'll just have to play with the plates a bit more!

You can purchase these plates here for $20.50. Bundle Monster offers free standard shipping to the US for orders over $25. Use code "JOLLY2014" for 15% off your puprchase. Valid through March 31, 2015.
