Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster Holiday Collection H01 (BMH01)

Bundle Monster have a collection called the 'Holiday Collection' which consists of 25 different plates. I have had these for a couple of years now and thought it was about time to get around to reviewing the set.

This stamping plate is backed with branded backing, so it doesn't have sharp edges, each plate has six images on them.

BM-H01 has four single images on them and two full nail designs. This plate is winter themed. All of the images stamped across well and I particularly like the reindeer image, he is very cute and I need to use it this year.

You can see all of the nail art I used this plate in here, once I have used it that is!

Nail Polish Battle 2017: Black and Silver

Seeing as it is almost the end of 2017 it is time for my annual nail polish battle. Always interesting to look back over the year at the new polishes I have gotten and seeing which ones are my favourites.

So since last years nail polish battle I have 53 new nail polishes and today I am looking at black and silver ones of which we are starting with 10.

Barry M - Holographic Lights // Barry M - Icicle // A England - The Beggar Maid // A England - Heathcliff // A England - King Cophetua // A England - Incense Burner // A England - Nocturne // Barry M - Black Pistachio // Barry M - Black // Barry M - Black Forest

Firstly I began by selecting my top three;

Barry M - Holographic Lights // A England - Nocturne // Barry M - Black Forest

A England Nocturne is a gorgeous black polish with a holographic scattering in it.

Barry M Black Forest is a really good formula, opaque in almost one coat and a easy to use brush.

The winner of this round however is Holographic Lights, this is a great silver holographic polish. Something new and a bit different for the high street / drug store, and under £5.
