Glam Polish River Deep Mountain High & MoYou London Bridal 06

Happy Friday! Quick post today. Here's another one from the archives. I used Glam Polish River Deep, Mountain High and stamped using MoYou London Bridal 06 in Mundo de Unas Black.

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate BP-06 Review

**Press Sample**

Happy August! Sorry I wasn't able to post last weekend. July was pretty hectic for me. My car was hit on 4th of July while it was parked and it ended up being totaled. I spent a lot of time looking online and spent a couple of weekends going to car dealerships to look at cars. I finally got a car this week and I'm on cloud nine! The color is Tuxedo Black Metallic and it looks super glittery in the sun--it totally suits me and I love it. Now that I have that situation under control, I can hopefully get back to my neglected nails =[

Today I have a stamping plate from Born Pretty Store to share with you. It's a Sailor Moon themed plate with 10 different images. 

I used Glam Polish Bohemian Rhapsody and stamped using Born Pretty Store plate BP-06 in Mundo de Unas White. I was pleasantly surprised that all of the intricate lines transferred without any issues and I was able to scrape over the larger designs without creating any bald spots. I honestly loved having Sailor Moon on my nails as it brought back so many memories of being obsessed watching it growing up. You can purchase this plate here for $2.99.

Glam Polish Take A Bow & Konad M69

Glam Polish Hey Ya & MoYou London Explorer 22

Hey Stampaholics! I have another quick post for you today that's inspired by henna. Here's Glam Polish Hey Ya stamped using MoYou London Explorer 22 in Mundo de Unas Reddish.

Glam Polish I Know You Want Me & MASH 40

Good morning beauties! Quick post today. Here's Glam Polish I Know You Want Me stamped using MASH 40 in Mundo de Unas Black. I haven't done leopard print in so long, but it's always a favorite image of mine! Also, I'm starting to only do one pose for my manis. I hope you guys don't mind. I always take a million photos of each pose just to get a good picture, but since I feel like I take forever just to get a mani posted, I figured it would be one less thing for me to worry about and speed up the process.

OPI Sheer Tints Gradient & PUEEN 08

Hey friends! I almost wasn't going to post this mani because all my pics with the bottle kept coming out crappy and the stamped stars look like blobs, but I decided to share it anyways because I spent so much time trying to get a good pic of it. I used a base of Glam Polish Now You See Me and then did a gradient using all 4 OPI Sheer Tints: Be Magentale With Me, I'm Never Amberrassed, I Can't Teal You Like Me, and Don't Violet Me Down. Then I stamped using PUEEN 08 in Mundo de Unas Black. I'm not sure why the stars look like blobs because they looked really clear on the stamping plate. I wonder if it has anything to do with the sheer tints--anyone else encounter this issue when stamping over them? 

Glam Polish Deceptive Practice & MoYou London Artist 01

Good morning beauties! Quick post today because I didn't get to play with my nails last weekend and I want to play with them now. Here's Glam Polish Deceptive Practice stamped using MoYou London Artist 01 in Mundo de Unas Fuchsia and Purple. 

Sea Shell-icious

Hi lacqueristas! Today I have a quick summery mani to share with you that totally makes me want to go to the beach. Speaking of going to the beach, Mr. HeartNAT and I are going to Tahiti in September! We're even going to stay in an overwater bungalow. It's going to be a dream vacation and I can't wait! I'll share more details in a few months =]

For this mani I used Glam Polish Catch Me If You Can and stamped using MoYou London Sailor 05 and Sailor 07 in Mundo de Unas White. You guys already know I love MoYou London plates and the quality is top notch, but these images blew my mind. Look at all the tiny details that all transferred! I'm even more impressed than I already was. What's your favorite brand of stamping plates?

Glam Polish Bling It On! Trio Swatches

Yeh 3X--lemon holo micro glitter with ultra holo glitter in a holographic base.

Hey Ya!--rose holo micro glitter with ultra holo glitter in a holographic base.

Shipping rates to USA are $3.50 USD for the first polish and an extra $1.00 for each additional polish.

Born Pretty Store Black Iridescent Rhinestones--Review

**Press Sample**

Hi again! 2 posts in 1 day is so unlike me, but I've been a bad blogger and haven't been keeping up with posting as regularly on my blog as I have been on my IG. Don't worry, you're still seeing everything, just not as quickly. I'll try to do better!

Today I have some black iridescent rhinestones from Born Pretty Store to review. They come in a nail wheel like most other studs and come in a variety of different sizes.

These studs are really beautiful and are a nice change from the typical clear rhinestones. A lot of studs come in the nail wheel so you can get a lot of use out it. You can purchase these studs here for $3.41.

Glam Polish Death Defying Acts & MoYou London Pro XL 14

Good morning lacquer heads! Today I have a pretty rainbow mani to share with you. I used Glam Polish Death Defying Acts and stamped using MoYou London Pro XL 14 in Mundo de Unas Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. I'm glad I have so many Mundo stamping polishes now because I can do things like this. Also this was done a whole 2 months ago--I love having things saved up to post (which is usually not the case)!

Glam Polish Escape Artist & MoYou London Sailor 05

Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful warm weather if it's warm where you are. I'm currently selling stuff at a garage sale so I'll make this post a quick one. Here's Glam Polish Escape Artist stamped using MoYou London Sailor 05 in Mundo de Unas Neon Blue. The studs are from Born Pretty Store. I'll be graduating soon with my bachelors in nursing and also moving in just over a month so I'll be quite busy over the next month and a half or so. No worries though, I'll still be posting weekly!

Glam Polish Sorcerer's Apprentice & MoYou London Kaleidoscope 10

Happy Saturday folks! Quick post today. I did this mani while swatching Glam Polish's Master's of Illusion Collection. I used Glam Polish Sorcerer's Apprentice and stamped using MoYou London Kaleidoscope 10 in Mundo de Unas Black. The studs are from Born Pretty Store. Rachel from Glam Polish actually asked me to swatch the last 4 polishes from the Master's of Illusion Collection so be on the lookout for those swatches next week!

Glam Polish The Prestige & MoYou London Fashionista 11

Good morning friends! Quick post today. I have to finish up some homework and then do some Easter nails. Yesterday I shared my Glam Polish Master's of Illusion collection swatches. For today and my next few posts, I'll be showing you those beauties with some nail art!

Here's Glam Polish The Prestige stamped using MoYou London Fashionista 11 in Mundo de Unas Violet. I love this plate because it's one of those with a continuous design covering the whole plate so each nail is different, but still ties in with the rest of the nails.

Glam Polish Limited Edition Masters of Illusion Collection Swatches

**Press Sample**

Happy Saturday loves! Today I have swatches 5 out of the 9 polishes from the new Limited Edition Masters of Illusion collection from Glam Polish to share with you. All swatches are 3 coats with topcoat. Let's take a look at these mesmerizing beauties!

The Prestige--tinted holographic base with ultra holo glitter, iridescent rainbow flakies and sparkly microflakies, glass flecks and shimmer.

Escape Artist--holographic base with ultra holo glitter, cyan/violet flakies, iridescent color shifting glass flecks and shimmer

Sorcerer’s Apprentice-- holographic base with ultra holo glitter, golden/green flakies, iridescent color shifting glass flecks and shimmer.

Death Defying Acts--holographic base with ultra holo glitter, pink/green flakies, iridescent color shifting glass flecks and shimmer.

Mad Magician--holographic base with ultra holo glitter, violet/red flakies, iridescent color shifting glass flecks and shimmer.

The formula of these polishes was easy to work with and built up nicely. These polishes had so much depth to them that it was hard to capture how pretty they truly are. I did nail art over all 5 of these polishes so hopefully you'll get a better look at their beauty when I share those with you this week. 

Rachel of Glam Polish described this collection as consisting of "nine amazing special effect shades with stunning mixes of flakies, holo, microflakies and color shifting glass flecks." She recommends using the color shifting shades (Mad Magician, Prest-o Change-o, Deceptive Practice, Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Death Defying Acts, and Escape Artist) over a base color in order to see the color shift better. 

This collection will be available April 1st at 5pm EST (USA) and April 2nd 8am AEST (AUS). You can purchase these polishes here with shipping to Australia & USA. Shipping rates to USA are $3.50 USD for the first polish and an extra $1.00 for each additional polish.

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!

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!

You can purchase these plates here for $20.50. Bundle Monster offers free standard shipping to the US for orders over $25. Use code "JOLLY2014" for 15% off your puprchase. Valid through March 31, 2015.
