Bundle Monster Creative Art Polish--Review

Press Sample

Well hello Saturday! Today I'll be reviewing Bundle Monster Creative Art Polishes that are made for stamping. I received set 4--six metal foil finish polishes.

I stamped BM Villian over gel and top coated with regular polish. Once I added topcoat, Villian bled. I would imagine if I stamped over regular polish, it would have bled even more. This is the same thing that happens when stamping with Kleancolor polish.

I stamped using BM Chaos. My Christmas tree image came out with fuzzy edges.

Here's my stamper after using Villian and Chaos--stained.

It was difficult to pick up a whole image. This looks like when a stamper needs to be primed and it happened with most of my attempts. 

Still not a perfect image, but this was one of my better attempts at picking up the polish.

Here is the same image and stamper with a Mundo de Unas polish after one attempt.

My final thoughts: I really wanted to like these polishes since the set has great colors and I love having a variety of stamping polish, but I will probably not be using these again. The formula is thin for a stamping polish, bled, stained my stamper badly, and was difficult to pick up. You can purchase this set here for $21.99.

Hey dolls. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Here's a swatch of Madam Glam soak-off gel polish in Back to Cali. I love this nude shade! This is 3 thin coats, but it is opaque in 2. It would look great for any occasion and on all skin tones. You can purchase it here for $19.95.

Madam Glam Rich Cornell & Bundle Monster BM-XL206

**Press Sample**

Hi friends! Today I have a gorgeous gel polish from Madam Glam to share with you. This one is called Rich Cornell and she sure is a beauty! I stamped over it with Bundle Monster BM-XL206 in Mundo de Unas Bronze. I felt like my nails were so luxe with this mani and I have nothing like this color in my collection. You can purchase this polish here for $19.95.

Dry Brush New Year's Eve Mani

**Press Sample**

Hi loves! Here's my last mani of 2015 to share with you all. I won't actually be wearing this mani tonight, but I did it last week to test out my some new Bundle Monster plates I received for review. I used the dry brush technique for the first time and I quite liked it. It was simple and the end result was pretty cool.

I used China Glaze At Vase Value for the base and then did the dry brush strokes with China Glaze polishes: What a Pansy, Grass is Lime Greener, Peonies & Park Ave, and Metro Pollen-Tin. I stamped using Bundle Monster BM-S212 in Mundo de Unas Black. I was happy that all the little details from my plate transferred since I have had some difficulty with fine lines on BM plates in the past. You can purchase this plate here for $2.49 or here in a set of 10 plates for $14.99.

Madam Glam Mama Mia Chamelon Gel--Swatch & Review

**Press Sample**

Who else totally splurged and shopped all the Black Friday deals today? I did some serious shopping today, online luckily, but OMG so many deals! Today I have another chameleon gel from Madam Glam to share with you. This one is called Mama Mia. It's a pink when warm and plum when cold and there's silver glitter throughout. This was so hard to photograph because the house and my fingers were so cold that I had to have a cup of microwaved water and a cup of ice water to keep dunking them in and even with that they kept turning the cold color. Poopy cold weather!

I stamped over it using MoYou London Pro 11 in Mundo de Unas White. This was my 2nd time using one of Madam Glam's Chameleon Gels and I was just as impressed this time as I was the first time. It wore well, transitioned easily, and impressed tons of people. You can purchase this here for $19.95.

Bundle Monster Gel Polish--Swatches & Review

**Press Sample**

Today I have Bundle Monster gel polishes to share with you all. Bundle Monster has 2 types of gel polish available: speed gel polish and regular gel polish. Their speed gels are a 1 step gel polish that don't require any base or top gel. Their regular gel polish does. The ones I received are speed gels. Let's take a look at the swatches!

Rouge Lipstick

Button Down

Cocktail Dress

The polishes I used are speed gels, but I didn't realize that until now so swatches are shown with base/top gel. A lot of the gels sold on the BM website have the bottles labeled "speed gels" for the speed gels and "gel polish" for the regular gels like the bottles you see in my photos so you can see why I thought these required base/top. I realized these were speed gels after finding the link just now and reading the description of the item. There are no instructions on the bottle or packaged with the item so it would be great to have the bottles labeled "speed gels" to distinguish that. Aside from that, application was a little difficult. The consistency of the polish was thick and glue-like. I would have to say the best thing about these gels is that they are super opaque--almost 1 coaters, but I applied 2 for an even application. You can purchase these gel polishes here for $5.50 each.

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.

Madam Glam It's A Funny World Chamelon Gel--Swatch & Review

**Press Sample**

Happy November! October felt like it flew by. For Halloween yesterday I stayed in, made delicious "graveyard pudding," and my family watched Insidious 3 which was actually pretty creepy! Oh, and I had pizza yesterday which means it was perfect! Today I have a chamelon gel from Madam Glam to share with you called It's A Funny World. It's lilac when warm and purple when cold. There's also different sized silver glitter throughout. 

I stamped over it using MoYou London Kaleidoscope 10 in Mundo de Unas Silver. I showed a bunch of people the transition and everyone was impressed when they saw it. I wore this for 2 weeks and didn't get tired of it at all. It would've easily lasted another week. I applied it just like any other Madam Glam gel polish (over MG base gel and topped with MG top gel). I have another one of their chameleon gels to try out and I can't wait! You can purchase this gel here for $19.95.

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.

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.

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. 

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!
