Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 424 (BM424)


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 BM424 there are two full nail images and three smaller ones. All of the images stamped across easily. I like the paw prints a lot and should use the butterfly wing image but it is a bit too small for my long nails at the moment.

You can see all of the designs I have used this plate in here.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Fashion

I keep seeing either furry nails or micro french nails around at the moment. Not sure how practical furry nails are, especially the really long fur nails. So I chose to do micro french tips, mattified as the matte trend doesn't seem to be dying just yet,

Review: Born Pretty Store - Nail Art Palette*

review-bornprettystore-born-pretty-store-nail-art-palette

This nail art palette is a small palette designed to be worn on a finger or thumb to use in nail art. It is made from metal which means you can clean it up with both water for acrylic paint and acetone for nail polish.

Here I used this to make a reverse stamping decal, I dotted some nail polish on the palette and then used that to paint on to the stamper.

I really like the palette because nail polish dries really quickly and so having the dot of polish nearer the nail was a lot more convenient than somewhere else.

The palette has an expandable ring back which means it fits on both fingers and thumbs.

Overall this is a great addition to any nail artists kit. Reusable and convenient.

Helps with nail art by being so much nearer to the nail itself, as well as putting an end to the use of random bits of paper / cardboard / plastic as a temporary palette.

The plastic cup I have been using for a small amount of water to clean off the brush or make a polish sheerer when using acrylic paint.
