Nails: Blue Marbled

I used the saran wrap / clingfilm method to get these nails to look a bit like marble.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 301 (BM301)

review-bundle-monster-301-BM301

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other stamping plates.

On this stamping plate there are 3 full nail images and 3 single images, all of these stamped well and I like the gradient image as it saves on the clean up you have to do if you were to do a sponge gradient.

Here are a couple of nail art designs I have done using this plate:
