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?!

Glam Polish Hypnotize & MoYou London Fairytale 01

Hi friends! Quick post today because I have some homework I should be working on! Here's Glam Polish Hypnotize stamped using MoYou London Fairytale 01 in Mundo de Unas White. Sorry I didn't post last weekend, but I have a couple posts ready for this weekend! I'll also try my best to squeeze in some St. Paddy's Day nails next week! I hate missing a holiday or "special day" mani because I have so many stamping plates with images for every type of holiday and I hate waiting around for the next year to use them. Let's hope I have good time management this weekend!

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?!

Bundle Monster Secret Garden Stamping Plate Collection--Review

**Press Sample**

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!
