Nail Stamping with Bundle Monster Plates

Hi!

I recently purchased the lot of 21 Bundle Monster plates because I wanted to do more stamping. I think that they have very different and unique patterns on each plate and so far they have worked well!

Here is some stamping I did the other day. The green/blue colour is a polish by The Face Shop and the gold polished used to stamp is by Nails Inc. I will get the colour names and post them shortly.

Nicki Minaj Halfmoon

Hi!
I bought the Nicki Minaj collection minus the shatter on eBay as OPIs are really expensive over here in Australia - $20 per bottle- so I buy them online. I wanted to do a mani using one or more of my new polishes because I was so excited, I don't even think the collection is out here in stores in Perth yet.

Here is a half moon mani using Opis Pink Friday and Did it on Em. It was my first time doing a half moon mani, and I looked up how to do them properly and people on youtube were using the file reinforces as guides for the bottom. I didn't have any of these so I used french tip guides which were really fiddly. I gave up and did the rest free hand.



Here is a close up picture so you can see the half moon closer.

I hope you like it!

Essence 'Viva la Green' + Black French Tip

Hey guys, I haven't posted in ages! Mostly because I haven't done a mani worth posting...Anyways, Essence has come to Australia, and is available in Target stores. Yay! I was so happy when I saw the stand but it looks like other people had got to it first as there was hardly any polishes left.

Along with Viva la Green, I also bought 'Where the Party At?' and some nail tip guiders, hence why I did a french mani. Considering it was my first time using any sort of guide I think I did an okay job but it is a bit fiddly and will take a while to get used to.





What do you think? I love the colour and this Essence polish went on so smoothly and its a great formula for the price!!

Cracked

Hey guys! Today I have for you a crackle by Barry M. I am lucky enough that my Dad and his wife live in the UK and when they came over they bought me lots of new polishes! Yay!

Hello, I haven't posted in ages! A few weeks ago I did a tiger print mani in an effort to start doing more nail art again. I used OPI Austin-tatious Turquoise and a black nail art polish by BYS. I only have one photo but I hope you like it! :)

Kleancolor Holo Orange

Hey guys! I have for you today a lovely polish from a lovely swap I did with Dolly (adayinthelifeofdollface.blogspot.com). We don't get Kleancolor in Aus so I did request a lot of these polishes from her. I was very intrigued with this one in particular.

I find that the formula with this particular Kleancolor polish was better than the others that I've tried, perhaps because its a bit thicker. The dry time is good too! All pictures are taken with a top coat on.

Thanks for reading!

I have.............................CHANEL GRAPHITE

Hello Everyone! One thing, sorry people for not posting for aaages, I've been really busy with work and uni :( but lets get to the interesting stuff.

Nothing else I can say about this polish, except that it's like liquid gold, but silver. In Aus, Chanel polishes are $38 so a purchase like this doesn't happen very often, but my boyfriend surprised me with this because he heard it was limited edition. haha yay.

All of these were taken under artificial light...and sorry about the messy edges, I was rushing, I couldn't wait to get it on my nails!





















The application was a breeze, but it's always the drying time that gets me down with Chanel polishes. When I painted them, I was doing other things so some nails got a bit dinged but when it dries they seem to go away.

I think I have found my favourite polish...I LOVE IT! It's not chrome, its not metal, it's still shiny and it has glitter particles in it. Ahhhhhhhh blinded by its beauty and the pics definately do not do this justice.

What do you think?! I think I'm going to have to get Peridot that came out in the same collection before it leaves the stores!
