Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 309 (BM309)

Review-Bundle-Monster-309-BM309

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, 1 half nail image and 2 single images. All of these stamped well. The flip flops are cute, although I haven't used them yet! Below is some nail art I have done using the plate:

GOT: Indie

I always seem to forget that A England is an indie brand, the polishes, packaging and service are all up there with shop bought polishes.

Tri-Polish Challenge: Teal, Grey and Lilac #1

This challenge has been going on for well over a year now, and all good things come to an end and this is the last month. The idea is there are three colours pre-picked and you find those three colours in your stash and use them in some kind of nail art. For the grey I used Sally Hansen's Dorian Grey, the Teal is ELF's Teal Blue and the Lilac is MUA's Frozen Yoghurt.

For this one I did a gradient using all three polishes, I used Barry M's Hologram Hexagrams as the glitter and I used a lightning shaped sticker for the accent nail and for the black I used Essence Black is Back.

Nails: Lela Rose AW 2014 Inspired

I find inspiration everywhere for nails and so finding it in fashion isn't something new. The particular inspiration I used was a dress from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2014, and a Lela Rose dress.
