Bundle Monster Create Your Own Collection first mani!

So I just got the new "Create Your Own" plate collection for 2013 in the mail from Bundle Monster. I've been looking for images through goole image search for this collection, and coming up empty handed.

 

Lucky for you all, I decided to snap some pix!!!

 

I'll be sure to post pix of all the plates individually, but for now here's a super sneak peak showing you just the plates I used for the mani I did tonight. Mind you, this was just to play around with them (I can NEVER WAIT LONG!!!!).

 

So, withy further adieu, here's my Kraken Mani:

I love these new plate so much!!!! I splurged and ordered this set, the Holiday set, and a second plate storage binder. Hey, I DESERVED it. Work has been crazy and I've had to get up at the butt crack of dawn for like a month PLUS. So there......!!! =0P

 

Here's more pix:

Sinful Polar Opposites Magnetic Nail Polish

Sinful Polar Opposites duochrome magnetic polish!!!!!

OMG, this polish is so awesome! Lol.



I thought I was over magnetics for now. We've seen so many of them from almost every brand including china glaze, wet n wild, Layla, random grocery store brands, Sally Hansen, etc.



This, however, my friends, is something I at least, had not seen. A magnetic polish that is also a wonderful glittery shimmery DUOCHROME.

Yup, you read that right. Sinful Polar Opposites is a Duochrome Magnetic polish!!! "Duochrome Magnetic polishes EXIST!?!?" Yes, dear reader, they do now. And FYI, sinful has done a pretty bang up job on this one. Amazingly, for a five dollar bill, you could be the proud new owner of such a beauteous lacquer, too! =0)



Behold:

Union Jack & Punk Rock Manis

Union Jack Mani: OPI Swimsuit Nailed It + striper nail art

Union jack mani

Hi guys! Long time, no post, huh?!

Sorry 'bout that! I've been SUPER busy and have lots of news!!! =0)

Most exciting news first,

I have an iPad!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it!?!?!? I still have trouble remembering that it's real. I swear I never thought I'd have one! =0) I've had a flip phone for the last, let's see... 5 years? MORE!?!? So, yeah. Technology doesn't find me very easily much to my dismay...!

So when I was gifted an ipad recently, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY with how cool it is. Seriously loving it and catching up on tons of lost time- downloading apps, taking pics, etc. Living the mobile life! Lol

Next coolest thing is that MASH sent me a new plate set to review. I've not ever received any products for review until then (or...well...now?), so it's s pretty big deal to me. I have been playing with it for sometime now so I have lots of pictures to share with you guys! Which is the reason I wanted to wait to do the post- I like regular blogger reviews that show an example mani, but I thought it would be AWESOME to wait on the review until I could show a TON of example manis. So that was my strategy... =0)

Next next, I should be receiving a set from CHEEKY very soon to review for you guys, also. Yes, I am super freaking out excited!!!!! Lol. I know we all (well,many of us, anyway!) have been waiting for what feels like FOREVER for CHEEKY to release their "Summer Set." Well, they are doing a short pre-sale right now, and will release the set "for real" very soon! YAYYY!!!

Now, the pic you saw at the beginning of this post was a mani I did a few weeks ago. The base isOPI Swimsuit Nailed It, and I painted the UK flag with polish stripers. I kinda suck (I think, anyway) at painting nail art by hand. However, the union jack is a pretty forgiving patter to do. I kinda just winged it and I thought it turned out pretty cute!

More stamping with magnetics

So, that's kinda my new thing.  Stamping on magnetic polish.

I loved the original tiger manicures so much that I've been trying other combination since.  Here's another recent creation.

Justice Magnetic polish (in green) stamped with BM 223

Waddya think?  I'm loving these animal prints on top of magnetic polish!  I feel like it's my trademark mani now, too!  lol

Pretty Pink & Black Polka Dots

I have a pretty dotticure for you all today.  I modeled this mani after a little makeup pouch I got from Target for like a dollar or two.  I always loved the color scheme and the design.  So, of course I wanted to translate that into a mani for like EVER!  haha!  But it took me some months to get around to doing it.  Also, this was my very first dotticure where I cover my nails with dots and don't just do a random pattern on a portion of the nail.  Mama is proud!  ;0)
 

 For this mani I used a bunch of colors!  I actually could NOT believe that I had in my stash colors that worked PERFECTLY for this and matched the bag like, exactly!

 The colors I used are as follows:

• White - Wet n Wild White
• Black - Wet n Wild Black Creme
• Light Grey - China Glaze Recycle
• Dark Grey - Zoya Kelly
• Light Pink - Color Club (unknown, unmarked from Ross set)
• Medium Pink - Color Club Poptastic
• Dark Pink - Color Club - All That Razz

I loved this mani.  I really enjoyed wearing it for a couple days and I hope you like it, too! =0)

Hello again & Halloween Manis

OMG has this post really been hiding in limbo this whole time!?!  *sigh*  oh well ,better late than never, right?  ....RIGHT!?!  lol

Hi guys.  I'll keep this short and sweet! =)

I'm still alive!  and I had a lot of fun playing with halloween manis!

Evidenced below:

Chartreuse grit and black glitter gradient

sorry if this looks gross, I was playing and kept adding stuff.  not really a *real* mani but it ended up looking cool so I snapped a couple pix.  thought I'd share! 

 OK
I realize these first 2 pix are slightly gross.  I was just playing around with this lynnderella polish I have and didn't do a proper mani or clean up.  But I thought it looked pretty cool so I thought I'd share!
