Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 409 (BM409)

This stamping plate is from the forth Bundle Monster set, the first CYO (create your own). It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp, comes covered with a blue cellophane sticker which you have to peel off before use.

On BM409 there is two full nail images and four smaller ones. I like the plate, it is a bit fun with the Bundle Monster logo and the air balloons. The DNA image, the balloons and the box were tricky to work with as they are such delicate images.

You can see all of the designs I have used the plate in here, and some of those are below:

Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes

Here are my top five nail polish for autumn 2015, if you are interested you can see the 2014 version and 2013 version.

 Barry M - Mustard // Barry M - Paprika // Barry M - Chilli // Leighton Denny - Chestnut Charm // ELF - Green Machine

First up I have Barry M Mustard, I think this colour is probably like Marmite. A very mustard colour, which reminds me of the 70's. I wouldn't wear this colour as it is but I really think it is great for autumn. I'd use this as a base for nail art.

Another polish from Barry M, I think the 2014 autumn gelly collection was really on point for the time of year. This one is Paprika, it is a red tinged brown, burnt orange colour, looking deep red in some lights and light brown in others.

Next is Barry M Chilli which is a gorgeous maroon, similar to Paprika but more red. Very much the colours which leaves go before falling off.

The next one is Leighton Denny Chestnut Charm, the only shimmer I chose. I like this one because it again is a red toned brown, again similar to autumn leaves. Has a shimmer to it going from red to brown. This would be one I would wear as it is, a little more interesting than a cream finish polish.

Finally I have ELF Green Machine, a cream deep pine green colour.
