Bundle Monster Shangri-La stamping plate mani!

Am I in the cool club yet?! I finally found an authentic Indian seller for Bundle Monster plates on ebay! I've always adored the Shangri La set, and boy, I wasn't disappointed :) They stamp wonderfully, and the images are crisp and well etched. I don't own any special stamping polish, but my cheap drugstore polish worked flawlessly on these. Yay for saving my money BM!



I tried out two polishes, a metallic gold from Maybelline India, and a black creme from a local brand called Juice. Playing it safe with black and gold, I know, I know. Imma definitely try decals with this plate. 


Look at that crisp stamping! I like my pointer finger the most, my topcoat smudged the rest of three :( Probably time to bid Revlon's matte top coat adieu.

ILNP Ultra Holo : Deja Vu (Swatches and nail art)

Image
SO. MUCH. HOLO!!!! I recently got my hands on a couple of ILNP polishes, including their an Ultra Holo from their Spring 2016 collection , Deja Vu . It's a pretty wisteria hue, with holo flame running through. Right now, just about everybody in nail world is gushing over holos, (all thanks to Cristine of Simply Nailogical ) so I had to get one too! And what does a newly initiated holo addict do when she gets her holo polish? Take tonnes of pictures, of course!  Here's what I did with it ;) I used square vinyls from Angel Nail Studio , and Sweet Apricot from Faces India to layer over it. I decided to matte them, but unfortunately it dimmed the blingy holo. It does look more blue-er in pictures, but in person it has a soft violent hue to it. I'm still not a pro at photographing holos, hence the grainy flame :(  Deja Vu in its color accurate glory! This was the only picture I could manage, which is truest to the actual shade. As you can see, I c

Review : Born Pretty Store Geek Pattern Stamping plate!

Image
Look at me, reviewing stuff and silently making my way to the cool kids table! Everybody knows you are cool when you receive goodies to review right? Yep. Thought so. So when Cynthia from BPS contacted me, I was honestly gobsmacked as to why would someone want to give free stuff to a person who has less than a thousand followers on IG. Without dwelling much on the reasoning, I asked for a stamping plate and stamper . The shipping was a surprise, since I had heard so much about BPS packages taking 3-4 weeks to ship. But my geographical proximity to China came in handy, and I received my package on the 9th or 10th day itself. The plate I received An image of the plate designs from BPS website The products I got were exactly as they were described on the BPS site. I had asked for Geek Pattern Stamping plate BP-L022, which is a large rectangular plate measuring 12.5 x 6.5cm. The plate is well etched, and has a sturdy plastic back unlike the smaller plates, which makes me lov

MoYou London Illusion Plate - Pastel Stamping Nail Art

Image
May is turning out to be the month of nail mails! And a month of splurging too, but lets not talk about that. I was part of a group haul Veeral of  Angel Nail Studio  hosted a while back, and some major lemming squashing happened :) I got my first MoYou London plates, and they are soooo good. I'm always looking for stamping polishes in lighter colours, so I snagged a white stamping polish by El Corazon as well.   Obviously, I had to come up with a pretty pastel gradient for the background :) Pardon the wonky placement please, I don't own a clear jelly stamper :(  I love how the warm colors blended together. This is definitely one of my favorite gradients I've done so far. Next step, Diagonal gradients! The image is from MoYou London Illusion plate 05, probably my favorite from this collection. I find it easier to work with such concentric-esq images, they go so well over a gradient and make your mani stand out.  The white polish used for stamping is
