Bunny Nails HD-C & HD-C Stamping Plate Review


Hi friends! I am supposed to be doing my research paper that's due tomorrow, but it's really hard to focus when you have new stamping plates and naked nails! Today I have new Halloween themed stamping plates from Bunny Nails. They're plates HD-C and HD-D and they have tons of designs on each one. Each plate measures 14.5 x 9.5 cm and full nail designs are 2 x 2.5 cm. I added my scans of the plates below. Click to enlarge so you can see all of the cool designs up close. I already did 2 manicures using these plates!




Here I used OPI My Vampire is Buff and stamped using HD-C in OPI Skyfall and Konad Black. I loooove how it turned out! I can also see myself using the background splatters a lot to do a mess free splatter or water-spotted mani. 



Here I used China Glaze Liquid Leather, Color Club Almost Famous, China Glaze Igniting Love, and Color Club Puccilicious and stamped using both HD-C and HD-D in Konad Princess Apple Green and Konad Black. How cute are these?! 



I wasn't sure what to expect when I first tried the plates out because this was my first time trying Bunny Nail's stamping plates, but I was pleasantly surprised and 100% satisfied with these. There is a wide range of images and themes on the plates that I wish Halloween was just a little further away so I could have more time to play with them. I had no issues picking up or transferring any of the images. You could purchase each plate here for $16.99 with free worldwide shipping on HD plates.

Polished by KPT Nightcrawler Swatch


Hi friends! Quick post today. This week I have 2 huge papers due and being the procrastinator that I am, I have waited until now to do them and have no time for nails =P. Here's a swatch of an indie polish--Polished by KPT Nightcrawler. It's both a thermal and duochrome polish!


Here it is warm...



...in transition...


...and cold. 


Here's a collage of the full transition. 

I didn't expect to like it this much since I rarely wear blue polish, but it's just so gorgeous! Thermal polish is becoming so popular now with indie brands. Have you tried thermal polish yet and how do you like it? You can purchase Nightcrawler here.

Glam Polish Twister and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe Swatches


Happy Friday! Today I have more indie polishes to show you that I received from Color4Nails. Glam Polish is an indie polish brand from Australia that I've been really wanting to try and I'm glad I finally got the chance. Both are shown with topcoat.


Here's Eeny Meeny Miny Moe--3 coats. So cute and girly and I'm happy it built up nicely for full coverage. It's like a glitter sandwich in a bottle! 


Twister--2 coats over OPI Incognito in Sausalito. So much color, shape, and size variety in this one.

I mentioned it was my first time trying Glam Polish and I'm really impressed with both of them. Nice formula, brushes, and application. Both of these polishes are available here from Color4Nails.
