Get your nails ready for the festive season with Maniology’s Holly Jolly stamping starter kit. The kit includes two festive stamping plates, stamping polishes Confetti and Frosty and limited edition Holiday Monocle stamper & scraper.
I really like the products in this kit, the monocle stamper is my go-to stamper. It’s see-through, it’s short (which makes it perfect when coloring in images when reverse stamping), it’s squishy and always picks up images perfectly!
How cute are the animal ornaments on M078? I had such a hard time choosing which ones to use for my design. And M079 has everything you need for your New Year’s Eve mani!

Today I’m going to show you nail art designs that are inspired by different places of the world! I recently received Bundle Monster‘s Around the world 2 stamping plate collection and I really enjoyed creating these design with the plates.
I used black and white stamping polish from Bundle Monster to create these designs. They’re available as a duo, or to purchase individually. If you’re wondering about any of the other polishes I used, feel free to ask about them in the comments below.
I chose the rainy clouds for my design using this plate, because right now we could use some rain. I live in a very rainy city, but this summer has been so hot and we’ve barely had any rain at all, so let’s hope this design helps with that 😉
I think I changed my mind about ten times when I was going to decide what pattern to use on this plate. As you know I love florals, and this plate have a few to choose from. I’m very happy with the end result, but I think I need to revisit this plate soon again!
Moroccan inspired nails have been one of my favorite designs for such a long time. It looks good in any color combination, but my favorite is dark fall shades combined with gold details.
When I saw this plate I knew I wanted to use one of the aboriginal inspired patterns. First I thought about mixing the patterns and make each nail different, but in the end I decided to only use one of them.
Stamping plates and stamping polish used for these designs are available on www.bundlemonter.com.
If you had these plates what nail art design would you create, and did you have a favorite out of these five designs?
Today we’re going to take a look at Kinetics fall collection called Fragile, that is released today! After a long summer of bright polishes I’m really looking forward to wearing darker and muted shades on my nails.
Kinetics Fragile
So human is described as a milky almond polish and it covers in two coats.
Almost naked is described as a cappuccino creme polish and it covers in two coats.
Pretending pink is described as a creamy pink polish and it covers in two coats.
Looking strong is described as a deep dark red polish and it covers in two coats.
Berries on ice is described as a raspberry red polish and it covers in two coats.
Alluring Brown is described as a earthy cocoa brown polish and it covers in two coats.
Fragile is described as slate grey polish and it covers in two coats.
Kind of blue is described as a dark teal polish and it covers in two coats.
This is the first time I’m trying Kinetics polishes and I’m very impressed! They all cover really well in few coats and they have a really good rounded brush that makes the application super easy.
My favorites shades from this collection are Pretending pink, Berries on ice and Kind of blue. One thing I love about fall polishes is the contrast of the dark shades against my pale skin.
Recently Ana (@blackqueennailsdesign) released her own collaboration stamping plate with Bundle Monster. The plate is gorgeous, and as you may already know I love floral nail designs so this plate is just in my taste!
Let’s take a look at the designs I have created with this stamping plate so far.
For this design I made a purple to white gradient and on top of the gradient I reverse stamped these cute flowers. For the stamping I used Bundle Monsters black stamping polish Straight up black, and then I filled in the flowers with two holographic polishes.
I really loved wearing this design and I was a bit sad when it was time to remove it.
For my second design using this plate I wanted to incorporate one of the beautiful girls. I started with a neutral base and stamped the girl and red flowers over it.
I already think that this plate is going to be one of my go to plates for floral nail designs, as this plate has so many beautiful to choose from.
Stamping plate and stamping polish used for these designs are available on www.bundlemonter.com.
Today we’re going to take a closer look at Bundle Monsters Botanicals collection. The collection consists of ten plates and so far I have used four of the plates to create three designs. I can’t wait for fall to arrive so I can use the leaf images on these plates to create gorgeous fall leaves designs.
I would’ve loved to have this plate in the spring, because I know I would’ve made more than one tulip design then. But who says you can only enjoy tulips in the spring!? I think they’re beautiful flowers and should be enjoyed all year. To create this design I used BM-S325 and black stamping polish Straight up black.
All products mentioned above can be found through the links or on www.bundlemonter.com.
Today were taking a closer look at Nails Inc’s Bright ambition collection. The collection consists of four polishes, three neons and one white. The polishes arrived just in time for my summer vacation, and they are p e r f e c t for this beautiful weather we’re having.
My swatches are painted over one coat of base coat (no top coat), and I applied the neons over one coat of White out to make them pop!
White out is a white creme polish that covers in just one coat!
Not invited is a neon blue creme polish, here I’m wearing one coat over a white base.
Its 12 PM somewhere is a neon purple creme polish, here I’m wearing two coats over a white base.
Strictly bikini is a neon orange creme polish, here I’m wearing one coat over a white base.
Aaaah, now isn’t this a nice bright summery collage! Which polish is your favorite? I love them all and I’m especially impressed with White out since it’s the perfect white polish!
I also did some nail art with the neons from this collection, and it turned out so bright you might need sunglasses to look at it! To get the cells I used a special polish called Spot it from Dance Legend.
Recently Twinkled T released their latest stamping polish collection called Desert sunset.
When their polishes finally was able for purchase from an European distributor they had released 12 shades and I was in need of some new stamping polishes so I bought them all! I knew it was a bit of a risk buying that many at once without testing a few at first, but I had read great reviews. They were as good as I was hoping and I’ve loved Twinkled T’s stamping polishes since the first time I tried them!
With that said, I’m always excited when they release new shades! The new Desert sunset collection consist of four creme and two metallic polishes.
On my pictures I’ve swatches the polishes on their own and stamped over black and white. I used Twinkled T’s stainless steel stamperand UberChic Beauty’s Got chevron? 2 plate for the stamping.
Ghosted is a light grey creme polish that covers in one coat. As you can see it’s stamps really week both over black and white.
Coraline is a light coral creme polish that covers in one coat. It covers really well over both black and white, but over black it’s not as bright as it is over white or on its own.
Tickled is a pink creme polish that covers in one coat. It stamps well over both black and white.
Smokey is a dark grey creme polish that covers in one coat. It’s stamps really well over both black and white.
Dazed is a rose gold metallic polish that covers in one coat. It stamps well both over black and white, but over black it’s turns out more silver compared to it over white or on its own.
Liquid gold is a gold metallic polish that covers in one coat. It stamps very well both over black and white.
The polishes from the Desert sunset collection is just as good as their other stamping polishes (which is just what I expected!). All six polishes are beautiful but if I had to pick favorites I would chose Coraline and Tickled, they look just as good stamped as on their own!
Have you tried any of Twinkled T’s stamping polishes?
Today I’ll be sharing swatches of Nails Inc’s Holler-graphic collection. The collection consists of four gorgeous linear holographic polishes.
Unfortunately one of the polishes got damaged in transit. Luckily I was able to save most of the polish by pouring it into an empty nail polish bottle. If you’re wondering why the swatches look a little bit different than usual, that’s the reason. I couldn’t take a bottle picture with Get out of my space, but I didn’t want to exclude it from the swatches either.

On my swatches I’m wearing two coats of each shade plus top coat. They all covered really well in just one coat, but as usual I prefer applying two coats to get an even and smooth result.
Get out of my space is a gorgeous linear purple holographic polish. This is the polish that unfortunately didn’t make it here in one piece.
Molten my day is a raspberry pink linear holographic polish.
Cosmic cutie is a light pink linear holographic polish.
Cosmic queen is a turquoise linear holographic polish.
At a first glance I was sure that Get out of my space was going to be my favorite polish out of the four (and thats why I got extra sad to see it’s bottle broken), but after swatching them all I have a really hard time picking a favorite. They’re all gorgeous and they’re super easy to apply. If I had to pick one I’d probably chose Molten my day because it’s so bright and a perfect shade for summer!
Hi everyone! Today I’m going to show you CND’s newest collection called Boho spirit. The collection consists of four vibrant creme polishes that are inspired by the desert and its nomads with burned colors, ethnic patterns and henna tattoos.
The Vinylux polishes all have a built in base coat and there is a special Vinylux Weekly Top Coat to make the manicure last for 7 days. My swatches are painted on bare nails and finished with one coat of the Weekly Top Coat.
Offbeat is a raspberry red creme polish that covers in two coats.
Uninhibited is a peach creme polish that covers in three coats.
Vagabond is a light mustard yellow creme polish that covers in three coats.
Gypsy is a orange creme polish that covers in three coats.
Of course I did some nail art using these polishes, lets’s take a look at my designs:
For my first nail art design I used Vagabond and Gypsy to create a vertical gradient inspired by a design from the press material from this collection. I finished it off with some gold flakes and gold striping tape.
My next mani is also inspired by a design from the press material from this collection. I just couldn’t help myself, they did such a good job with the press material for this collection. I used Vagabond, Gypsy, Uninhibited, Creme puff and Lady in black from OPI to create this design.
For my last design I used all four shades from this collection together with Spot it white and Spot it black from Dance Legend (to create the cells). I love using the Spot it polishes as they make everything look so much cooler. I really like them in combination with this collection, the result looks really fiery and awesome. To finish the design I added some gold charms to two of the nails.
What do you think of this collection? I think its perfect for summer and can’t wait to create more summery designs with it!
Hi guys! Today I’ll show you swatches of OPI’s newest collection, Grease! To celebrate Grease’s 40th anniversary OPI is releasing a collection based on the iconic movie. The last time I saw the movie was probably when I was in middle school, so when I got the collection I had to re-watch it – and I still remembered the lyrics to the songs!
All my swatches are painted over one coat of base coat and I’m not wearing any top coat. Now let’s take a look at the swatches!
Don’t cry over spilled milkshakes is a vanilla colored creme polish that covers in two coats. Since I just watched the movie I’m a little bit disappointed that this polish is not pink, because the milkshake that was spilled in the film was in fact pink.
Met a boy cute as can be is a pale yellow creme polish that covers in three coats.
Frenchie likes to kiss? is a lavender polish with subtle purple shimmer that covers in there coats. Unfortunately the shimmer isn’t visible in this picture but it is on the nails, and it’s super pretty.
Hopelessly devoted to OPI is a peach creme polish that covers in two coats.
Pink ladies rule the school is a pink creme polish that covers in two coats.
Was it all just a dream? is a turquoise blue creme polish that covers in two coats.

Teal me more, teal me more is a teal creme polish that is a one coater too! As always I’m wearing two coats.

Check out the video for live swatches!
So, what do you think of this collection? My favorites are Frenchie likes to kiss and Chills are multiplying!,I just love that shimmer!
One thing that I though was strange about this collection was the smell. The polishes doesn’t smell like OPI polishes usually do. I like the smell of nail polish but unfortunately I didn’t like the smell of the polishes from this collection. I don’t know if OPI has changed the formula or why they smell different but I hope this is just a one time thing.
