Valentine's Day Love Nails

Good morning. Here's another Valentine's Day mani for you guys. I used OPI Alpine Snow and stamped using MoYou London Festive 20 in Mundo de Unas Black. The pink is OPI GelColor Small + Cute = <3. Hope you all have a wonderful love-filled or at least chocolate-filled Valentine's Day tomorrow!

Valentine's Day Gradient & Hearts

Hello all! Valentine's Day is coming and I've been enjoying seeing everyone's themed manis lately. Today I have my first one for the month that I actually did in December. I started my gradient for a New Year's Eve mani and decided it was suited better for this occasion. I did the gradient with China Glaze Spring in My Step, China Glaze Petal to the Metal, China Glaze Strike a Rose, and Barry M Passion Fruit. I stamped with MoYou London Festive 20 in Mundo de Unas Black. My sister got me the Barry M polish on her trip to Scotland recently so I'm glad I found it a mani-home and finally have a Barry M polish in my collection.

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.

OPI GelColor Starry-Eyed for Dear Daniel

Good morning! Today I have another polish from the OPI Hello Kitty Collection to share. I wanted to do a quick mani on New Year's Eve and I read reviews that said this one in regular nail polish was 2 coats. Well this one in gel took me 4 coats and I was rushing to get ready and ended up with no nail art ='[ It's still a cute color and it matched my Hello Kitty onesie I wore for the party, but I would have loved to have Hello Kitty nail art to go with it.

OPI GelColor Look At My Bow & PUEEN 29

Hello...Kitty! Who doesn't love Hello Kitty? When I saw that OPI was making a Hello Kitty collection I couldn't wait to get them all. I love the colors so much that I purchased the entire collection in both gel and regular polish. I know, I'm crazy. I wore this a couple weeks ago and it was my first official mani of 2016.

Here's OPI GelColor Look At My Bow stamped using PUEEN 29 in Mundo de Unas Black. Ring and pinky have OPI GelColor Never Have Too Mani Friends.

Gelish Berry Buttoned Up & MoYou London Holy Shapes 03

Good afternoon loves! The mani I'm sharing with you guys today is actually what I wore on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Before I started getting into gel polish, I saw a swatch of Gelish Berry Buttoned Up and it was on my wishlist for a year. I finally got it and it did not disappoint! 

Here's Gelish Berry Buttoned Up stamped using MoYou London Holy Shapes 03 in Mundo de Unas Gold. The glitter is Gelish All That Glitters is Gold.

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.

Red & Black Plaid Nails

Happy New Year guys! Here's a mani from October last year. I matched it with a flannel shirt I wore and I was super proud of myself because it matched really well. I used OPI GelColor Amore at the Grand Canal and stamped using MoYou London Hipster 06 in Mundo de Unas Black. Ring finger has OPI GelColor My Gondola or Yours.

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.

OPI Gouda Gouda Two Shoes & MoYou London Holy Shapes 01

Hi guys. The move went smoothly and there were no casualties transferring all of my nail polish babies--yay! I didn't get around to using the 2015 Pantone color Marsala earlier in the year, so I decided to at least say goodbye to 2015 with it. Here's OPI Gouda Gouda Two Shoes stamped using MoYou London Holy Shapes 01 in Mundo de Unas Gold. The studs are from Born Pretty Store. I tried to match the stamped image to the pattern on the studs and I think I came pretty close. Go me!

OPI Live and Let Die and MoYou London Festive 30

Merry Christmas beauties! Here's my last "Christmas" mani for the month. I used OPI Live and Let Die and stamped using MoYou London Festive 30 in Bundle Monster Creative Art polish Chaos. I received Chaos along with a few other BM Creative Art polishes for review. I'll post a proper review of those in the next couple of weeks. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and eat lots of yummy food. Also, I'll be moving in 2 days. I chopped my nails and I hope not to break my nails during the process. Wish me luck!

Reindeer Christmas Sweater Nails

Merry Christmas Eve! Quick post today as I still have some last minute wrapping to do. I made these stamping decals on my UberChic Beauty mat with OPI Tiramisu for Two (nude), OPI Going My Way or Norway (caramel), MoYou London Festive 06, and Mundo de Unas Chocolate. I haven't made decals in awhile, but my UberChic Beauty mat made it super easy. I'm officially on break for a week and a half from work so I hope to make more decals and play around with it a bit more. 

OPI Just Lanai-ing Around & MoYou London Festive 06

Happy Sunday! Today I have some Christmas sweater nails to share with you. I used OPI Just Lanai-ing Around and stamped using MoYou London Festive 06 in China Glaze Don't Make Me Whine

OPI GelColor Venice the Party & MoYou London Festive 30

Good morning my polished friends. I can't believe Christmas is less than a week away! I still have to finish my Christmas shopping and wrap presents. I'm sure I'm not the only one in that boat.

For this mani I used OPI GelColor Venice the Party and stamped using MoYou London Festive 30 in Essie Good as Gold. Middle finger has OPI GelColor Baroque...But Still Shopping. People hate this polish in regular nail polish, but in gel I actually quite like it!

OPI Be There in a Prosecco & MoYou London Holy Shapes 05

Hi loves! Quick post today. Here's a mani I did back in October. I actually did it first in gel and it didn't come out perfectly so I did it again with regular nail polish. I used OPI Be There in a Prosecco and stamped using MoYou London Holy Shapes 05 in Mundo de Unas Bronze. 

Madam Glam--Silver Magic & Gold Digger Swatches

**Press Sample**

Good morning beauties! December feels like it's flying by. I have to finish my (online) Christmas shopping soon! Today I have 2 gel polishes from Madam Glam to share with you.

Silver Magic

Gold Digger

Silver Magic reminds me of China Glaze Glistening Snow--a perfect silver microglitter for an accent nail. If you're looking for one like that for your gel polish collection, Silver Magic would be the perfect addition. Gold Digger has a ton of tiny yellow gold flakies and not a glitter texture. This polish was beautiful too, but I'd probably use this one as an accent nail as well. Both polishes have great coverage. You can purchase these polishes here for $19.95 each.
