It's been SO long. My full time job pretty much took over my life for a while, so actually getting on my computer to write a blog just didn't happen. As I always promise, I will try to be better about uploading my regular nail art.<br />
<br />
Okay, so today I am going to show you the Speed Gel collection by Bundle Monster called Aint No Basic B!tch. This is one of my favorite collections yet. :)<br />

So one of the awesome things about this gel is that it is one step! You don't need a base or top coat to use it. I love that! I just filed the surface of my nails a little to get rid of the shine, wiped with alcohol and started my mani! I cured each coat in my LED lamp for 60 seconds. Another thing that's awesome - these are all just two thin coats! And of course, the colors are gorgeous!!! Love this collection!</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">This first color is a gorgeous black!! It is filled with tons of holographic glitter! I love it! Will definitely be using this a lot this fall/winter! It's called You're So Tragic! </span></div>

I also used the Bundle Monster Shangri-La Nail Stamping plate collection to do a little art work on the mani's. Here is the one I did on You're So Tragic. It's a Aztec kind of feel I think.</div>

The next color in this collection is a bright and shimmery bubble gum pink! I adore it. It's called Pink Wednesdays. As I mentioned above, this is just 2 thin coats. </div>

This next color is a really pretty shimmery blue, though in my pictures it comes up a little more blue/green. This color is so much more pretty in real life. I just couldn't do it justice. It's called So Fetch!</div>

Its a pinky purple color and it's called Drama. I didn't use a on of my stamping plates to decorate because I thought the color was gorgeous on it's own. So, instead I added a crown charm. Get it? "Drama" queen. I know, I am hilarious.</div>

I'm back! Did you miss me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a pretty neon cream collection of gel polishes by Bundle Monster called the Sands of Aruba Collection. These colors are perfect for the upcoming summer months. They are bright, fun and perfect for the beach.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDgdtrDdhexGjJLk5tR1IeIIg0rrhCbNBoK9qfy_bmygaYKWa99pkKHCnf1vBYXGmimPiZpBwGiczW7fr6STErEAQfpOQVGm_p-e3wRcrw6GcyU9aM_ZJM3pJQhGp5WKOqidY7ldx7TvUT/s1600/IMG_6213.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDgdtrDdhexGjJLk5tR1IeIIg0rrhCbNBoK9qfy_bmygaYKWa99pkKHCnf1vBYXGmimPiZpBwGiczW7fr6STErEAQfpOQVGm_p-e3wRcrw6GcyU9aM_ZJM3pJQhGp5WKOqidY7ldx7TvUT/s320/IMG_6213.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
First of all, for some of these colors, they were so bright that my camera freaked out a bit and I couldn't quite capture the true colors. I will let you know which ones. But I tried to get the pictures as accurate as possible.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first color in the collection is called, "Sunset Walk" and its a bright neon pink. I adore this color! And look how tan the neon colors make my skin look! Haha! But it's actually even brighter in real life. My camera did not like this color and would not cooperate. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next color is a gorgeous neon orange. It's called "Electric Flamingo" and as I was applying this color I thought how much I actually love this shade of orange on me. It's so much more beautiful in real life. This was another color that my camera just didn't like. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next color is called "Blistering Sun" and you can see why! It's a sheer bright yellow gel that is packed with glitter. I used it here alone (3 coats) but you can use it as a topper to make a very unique look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore this next color that is called "Boca Catalina". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a brilliant teal green unlike any others I have. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
OMG! This blue. I am in love with it. I know, I know, I love every color in this collection. But I do. It's the truth. This one is called, "Fringing Waters" and is the perfect shade. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgND4tLfVSpn3lmYxb2uBUqZ6-LXgxKyX6kORMBdaK0WLS3JNZXmcKLbWjlyQXsLWfK485paU5SPPEMMRT72CIuSfaPcKAqyvymMHc4Ef_J1Sy7ZInLwhdDf0UTTOEB87ElEYFaktYqqboW/s1600/IMG_6211.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgND4tLfVSpn3lmYxb2uBUqZ6-LXgxKyX6kORMBdaK0WLS3JNZXmcKLbWjlyQXsLWfK485paU5SPPEMMRT72CIuSfaPcKAqyvymMHc4Ef_J1Sy7ZInLwhdDf0UTTOEB87ElEYFaktYqqboW/s320/IMG_6211.JPG" width="319" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the last color in this collection is called, "Voodoo Lounge" and is a deep violet. What else can I say, I love purple. It's my favorite of the collection.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi Friends! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's post is about a manicure I did a couple days ago using China Glaze's Electric Nights Collection. These colors are very bright and fun, but I'm not sure I would call them neon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the look I created. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiooV7nXUlshd4BVBQzkaov3vB7Y9i6_DNlPyiogkBKntGxvDF0_xTAmf-fN53PXwi2ZbdOTCR8aBjInqubkArIrtXm4ViRa7sD8qnJDRijTPFeto-mExaZzzXg79Jgy5Ir0v-wmLvVMvVM/s1600/DSC08188.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiooV7nXUlshd4BVBQzkaov3vB7Y9i6_DNlPyiogkBKntGxvDF0_xTAmf-fN53PXwi2ZbdOTCR8aBjInqubkArIrtXm4ViRa7sD8qnJDRijTPFeto-mExaZzzXg79Jgy5Ir0v-wmLvVMvVM/s1600/DSC08188.JPG" height="400" width="398" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used "DJ Blue My Mind" and "Point Me To The Party". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this blue! It reminds me of the sky but more intense. And the rainbow glitter topper is awesome! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Steps for this look: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. I painted all my nails with a white base coat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. I then painted the thumb and 2 outer fingers blue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. I then taped off half the middle finger with masking tape and then added the neon glitter to my middle and ring fingers. (To get the opacity that I did, I put liquid latex around my nails, let it dry, then actually sponged on the polish. I used 3 sponged coats.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. I painted the other half of the middle finger with 2 coats of blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. I then top coated with Seche Vite and added these cute neon studs to finish the look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Hello my friends! It's been too long, I know. Life got really busy for a while and I just didn't take the time to do nice photo shoots of my nail art and write about it. I apologize. I will try to do better in the future. Near future. :-)<br />
<br />
But, for today, I have the honor of swatching this gorgeous collection by Bundle Monster. It's called the Hawaiian Escape Collection. It's a gel polish and has grains of colored sand in it! It is super unique and the colors are really gorgeous!<br />
<br />
I found the formula to be a little thick and since my nail beds are so small the thicker brushes made application a little messy. So, I decided to thin it down a little with a gel thinner and had much better luck. I used two coats for each swatch so it didn't get too think on my nails. The coverage was awesome with those 2 coats. I cured for 30 seconds each coat.<br />
<br />
On to the colors! Yay!!! You won't be disappointed.<br />

This is called Papaya Passion. So, I am NOT a orange lover. My skin is too orange and it usually looks just yuck on me, but I really liked this one! The pastel orange with the red sand in this one really makes it pop. </div>

Because of the sand, there is some texture. But when you use your topcoat, the manicure is smooth to the touch and look. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello my nail polish/art loving friends! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I have the pleasure of sharing a gorgeous cream polish collection made by <span style="background-color: yellow;"><a href="http://bundlemonster.com/">Bundle Monster</a></span>! It's the 2014 Fall collection called Downtown Collection and is inspired by the beauty of London. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are 6 colors and they are all beautiful. So let's get to it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first color is a gorgeous deep maroon color called "Bristol". It is a lovely cream polish that is completely opaque in 2 coats, in fact, they all are. This color is a perfect red for all occasions. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This color reminds me of a long trench coat that would be worn in London on all those rainy days. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to try out the heart leopard look and thought this was the perfect color for it. Guess what, I was right! For this look I painted on the hearts and outlined with black acrylic paint. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one I wanted to go glamorous, so I sponged on some glitter to make it sort of ombre looking. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this one, I used Bundle monster stamp M-620 from the CYO 2014 set. You can get it <a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/2014-create-your-own-collection-full-set-20-nail-plates.html">here</a>. Once stamped, I filled in the hearts with a purple glitter. This is my favorite. I am probably again biased. Purple and glitter....can't go wrong. Haha. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am a HUGE <a href="http://paintedpolish.com/">Painted Polish</a> fan and have been buying pretty much any collection that Lexi (the creator and maker of this polish) dreams up and sells. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She specializes in uber gorgeous holographic glitter polishes that you can use as a topper or as a full coverage nail (which I always do) in 2-3 coats. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But today's collection is a little more unique to her previous collections. The Femme Fatales Collection: Part 1 has multichrome flakies jam packed with holographic glitter. *The colors shift depending of how you are looking at the nail and if you are indoors vs outdoors. I took my photos inside in a light box. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first color I am going to show you is a gold/red/green color. It is super unique and pretty darn beautiful. I tried to get different angles and there is a macro pic too. :) This one is called, "Temptress".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All in all these colors are all so pretty, went on smoothly, and I got full coverage in 2 thick coats, or 3 thiner coats. This collection reminds me of Mardi Gras and I could totally see myself wearing this for a Mardi Gras mani. </span></div>

For these nails I first applied liquid latex so that cleanup would be easier. (Much easier.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I used a sponge and painted on all the colors of the rainbow, then sponged it on my nails. I repeated that one more time to get it more opaque, then pealed the liquid latex off. I then used acetone to clean up my cuticles and applied a Holo top coat. The one I used is by <a href="http://www.funlacquer.com/">Fun Lacquer</a> called <a href="http://www.funlacquer.com/product/diamond-spectraflair-holographic-top-coat">Diamond</a>. Then I sealed it all off with a quick try top coat. This is the result. So pretty and easy right!?</div>

And then I went a step further. I saw a friend on Instagram do it, and since I had the rainbow nails, I needed to try it! Go check hers out. <a href="http://instagram.com/kadnails">@kadnails</a> on Instagram. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I have a the Red Carpet Collection from <a href="http://bundlemonster.com/">Bundle Monster</a> to show you. It is a metallic foil effect gel polish that is super gorgeous, but a little tricky to apply. It took me a few tries before getting it right, but once I did, it was pretty easy. I will give you the directions and some tips, but first, look at these colors!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And the last color in the collection and my personal favorite, is a gorgeous purple. I LOVE it. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So now that you have seen all the colors, let me give you the directions for application. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d3d3d; text-align: start;"><b>Application Steps: </b></span></span></div>
<ol style="color: #3d3d3d; line-height: 20px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apply your base gel and cure.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apply a top coat directly over the base gel. </span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remove the tacky layer.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shake the gel for 30 seconds (like really well). </span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wipe both sides of the brush against the neck of the bottle before applying the product to the nail. </span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apply using side, middle, side application strokes, being careful not to allow each stroke to overlap the next. If you can get away with only 2 strokes, go with that. </span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Allow each coat to rest for about 30 seconds before curing. It will appear to dry on it's own.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cure 30-60 seconds depending on your lamp. </span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Repeat steps 5-8.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apply your top coat, being careful not to let the brush drag into the metallic layer below. </span></li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Note: This is a gel polish, but it is unlike any gel I have ever used. It is as thin as water, and if you have too much on the brush, it will flood into your cuticles and stain your skin. (I learned this the hard way.) So, make sure to dip your brush and wipe all the access off on the side of the bottle. The coats must be SUPER thin. </span></div>

Roses and polka dots, summery stripes and houndstooth patternHello friends!<br />
<br />
Just a quick post today. I did 3 looks this past week, so I thought I would share them with you here. I did some stamping on one look, but for the other 2 looks, I have been working on my hand painting skills. So here they are.<br />
<br />
My first look is the most recent. I did this one today. For this look I used one of the new holiday colors from the OPI Gwen Holiday collection. It is called, "In a Holidaze". (Keep checking back, because I have the whole collection, and will be swatching them all for you soon!)<br />
<br />
I hand painted the roses with the same color and outlined in black acrylic. The green leaves are also green acrylic. Then I used a dotting tool to create the polka dots. The white base is OPI "Alpine Snow".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This next picture is very summery since the weather here has been in the 80's. I used China Glaze colors for this look called, "Too Yacht to Handle"(Teal), "Bottoms Up"(Pink) and "Are You Jelly"(Purple). The glitter accent is by Sally Hansen and is "Big Glitter". I hand painted the little stripes with all the colors above (minus the glitter). Then I added neon pink studs. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had the pleasure of swatching 3 colors of the new ONE-STEP Gel by <a href="http://purjoinailstudio.com/">PurJoi Nail Studio</a>. I was super excited to try out this product because, well duh, its one step! No base or top coat is required! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Awesome right!? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's also 3 free which means it's <span style="font-family: inherit;">free of <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Formaldehyde, DBP, and Toluene</span>no and i</span>t's made here in the USA. The owner Joi is actually based here in the Bay Area! :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the 3 colors I swatched:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhfI8k_NJRjC9OWztlK-1WKZye7eRXITxwL7kNGrhwCB0rmxEBg-7wwN1ur9zu8Gxq95H93vWpqX31zsAVShTWJHoS4AFmvCV0OSudL4Z6N2vU2eDT80zuG_btg78ptbkTnMa8Q-OXSvZt/s1600/IMG_3377.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhfI8k_NJRjC9OWztlK-1WKZye7eRXITxwL7kNGrhwCB0rmxEBg-7wwN1ur9zu8Gxq95H93vWpqX31zsAVShTWJHoS4AFmvCV0OSudL4Z6N2vU2eDT80zuG_btg78ptbkTnMa8Q-OXSvZt/s1600/IMG_3377.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Start by cleaning you nails, filing to the shape you like, and using a fine grit file to lightly buff your nail and remove any shine.<br />
<br />
Then use alcohol or a bonder to clean and dehydrate the nail before application.<br />
<br />
Pick your color and start painting!<br />
<br />
This formula is a great consistency. It isn't too thin or too thick. You get full coverage in 2-3 coats (I got it in 2 coats for all 3 colors, but added one more coat for strength.) This one-step gel does need to be cured under a UV/LED lamp for <u>60 seconds</u> each coat. It drys shiny with no tackiness.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The color below is called Fairy Dust. The top picture is taken outside in the sunlight because the pictures in my light box were not doing it justice (2nd picture). It is a mauve pink and has plenty of glitter to make is shine in the light. I really like this color! Application was good, but I had a tiny bit of shrink back at the tips (but this happens with most gel polishes). Otherwise, it's brilliant!</div>

I really liked this color as well. This first picture is a outdoor shot. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">And this 2nd picture is in my light box with some hand painted nail art using the 3rd gel color I will be showing you called, "Precious Moments". </span><span style="text-align: start;">I didn't use a top coat which is why it has a textured look. But this was my first time doing nail art with gel and it turned out okay. Haha. </span></div>

The last color I swatched, as mentioned above is called, "Precious Moments". It is the perfect pink and I can see myself using this one often for the base of some cute nail art to come.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The color was so bright and fun, that it reminded me of flamingos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So....I went tropical with my nail art. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just want to mention again, I used 3 coats in all the pictures above even though you really only need two. But if you have nails like me (thin and brittle) and need a little extra strength, use 3 coats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also - PurJoi does offer a High Gloss Clear top coat which I may need to try in the future. Even though these polishes dry glossy, I am in love with UBER glossy, and these just don't give that high shine alone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found removal to be normal with any other gel polishes I have used. They soak off in 10-15 minutes. (Glitter can take up to 20 minutes) For my removal process, I first file the gel polish enough to remove the shine. Then I use a cotton ball soaked in pure acetone and wrap my nails in foil. I pull off the foil and check the polish at 10 minutes. If it doesn't come off easily, I soak an additional 3-5. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can go to <a href="http://www.purjoinailstudio.com/">www.PurJoiNailStudio.com</a> to buy your polish. The price is $17.99 per bottle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they ship internationally.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you can wait until November 11th, you can get 30% off your entire order for 1 day only in honor of Joi's Birthday! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed seeing these swatches! I really love this product and hope to get more colors in the future to show you. PurJoi Nail Studio just launched, so I'm sure in future there will be tons more colors to choose from, though there is currently already 50! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Go check out the website and take a looksy!</div>

Hello there friends! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long time, no post. I know. I'm back though, and today I have a jazzed up nude manicure. I really love how this look turned out.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Zoya Spencer as my base. It's a rich taupe color and was opaque in just 2 coats. (One of the things I adore about Zoya polishes) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I used a indie polish brand called Fun Lacquer in Queen on my accent nail. This silver polish is packed with glitter and was opaque in 2 coats as well. It is AMAZEBALLS!! I have the gold partner to this polish called King and will show you in another post. These are the only 2 polishes I have from this brand so far, but I want more. They are brilliant!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then stamped my middle finger using Konad black and MoYou London stamping plate Fashionista-05. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Topped it all off with a cute bow I got at my local nail supply store and some little black studs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you like it! I did. I was showing it off at work to all my co-workers. LOL. :)</div>

<br />
I hope your weekend has treated you well. Mine has been very relaxing and I got a bit lazy, so I figured it was the perfect time to try out the Gel Nail Art Stamps the <a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/">Bundle Monster</a> sent me to review. Here is what they look like:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabdXT2hoz4A63MTrqe3g6HXuzFxRkDTayc2vEN0xN928mhLHdUJlmX5Vems7b_htmqvO7rIb9SvxNxWdeD_6e_nQSwrr1uRrVgCqLuINuFyLgkVqzjpxas0Gyr5mS_Kav-xacsp5frayx/s1600/DSC05712.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabdXT2hoz4A63MTrqe3g6HXuzFxRkDTayc2vEN0xN928mhLHdUJlmX5Vems7b_htmqvO7rIb9SvxNxWdeD_6e_nQSwrr1uRrVgCqLuINuFyLgkVqzjpxas0Gyr5mS_Kav-xacsp5frayx/s1600/DSC05712.JPG" height="220" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The come in a package of 8. Four designs, 2 of each design. You have to cut out the design to the size of your nail. Its great because I got all 5 nails with one stamp! Now, you may have to use both if you have larger/longer nails then me - which is totally possible. Mine are little stubs right now.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For these 2 looks, I used the "Wallpaper" Gel Art Stamp Stickers. They sent me 3 additional sets to play with, but I will show you those designs in a bit. First, I want to explain what these are and how they work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, they really work best over gel polish, BUT - I really don't see why it wouldn't work on a regular coat of white polish that is top coated. I will have to test that out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 1: Paint your nails with a white base. (gel or lacquer). For mine, I used Bundle Monster white gel from their Gel Basics Collection. You can find it <a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/6pc-color-uv-led-gel-lacquer-nail-art-polish-manicure-collection-mix-variety.html?_nosid=1&selected_attributes=eyI4MCI6IjI1NiJ9">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 2: Get some water in a bowl, and a cotton ball.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6NYCdstQsmKp-08Nxhs8BtsDrVVE8lOiMSqrUC1au8KNlEShl1fjVeUOwX-8ATNHjb_UOu8E3vCa6MZYV5tQ7uGY49wtWtIQaIXDiWLwWZNCmXrfLtG6vpTpH6l8W3u32qiOP7UZgzx_g/s1600/DSC05375.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6NYCdstQsmKp-08Nxhs8BtsDrVVE8lOiMSqrUC1au8KNlEShl1fjVeUOwX-8ATNHjb_UOu8E3vCa6MZYV5tQ7uGY49wtWtIQaIXDiWLwWZNCmXrfLtG6vpTpH6l8W3u32qiOP7UZgzx_g/s1600/DSC05375.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 3: Decide which design you want to use. If you are like me, this may be the hardest step. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 4: Cut the sticker to the size of your nail - the closest you can get. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeNF7Fh20fRlZp-mRibQF8zoYqPfce_-cwGR85ljUoCuU8XEdew6l519LPAsWsRTrNKIzboqJmfaxakev2PaWikhgfKLKeCrs6tnFuMUeYppa_Nxp1c0iHab5Lhig17_TTXbSPduE6dZOB/s1600/DSC05373.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeNF7Fh20fRlZp-mRibQF8zoYqPfce_-cwGR85ljUoCuU8XEdew6l519LPAsWsRTrNKIzboqJmfaxakev2PaWikhgfKLKeCrs6tnFuMUeYppa_Nxp1c0iHab5Lhig17_TTXbSPduE6dZOB/s1600/DSC05373.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 5: Remove the plastic film covering the design, then place the image on your nail, pressing down to try to get it set on your nail as much as possible. (Think temporary tattoo, but for you finger nails, it is the same thing - like exactly. You are just putting the design on your nail instead of skin.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwaGfEKMkSh15ULNuFVtpePemKjXIY03ZuQSqc5Tit68POuYA3ATXzupJcGFi5z4CSpFY3ButT-92OC4bw4jXRs7E4PAQTokX76PjiaRB88VtDYZ2ixnNgHTP8m6GP-ggMGkjZNWrAeBnT/s1600/DSC05374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwaGfEKMkSh15ULNuFVtpePemKjXIY03ZuQSqc5Tit68POuYA3ATXzupJcGFi5z4CSpFY3ButT-92OC4bw4jXRs7E4PAQTokX76PjiaRB88VtDYZ2ixnNgHTP8m6GP-ggMGkjZNWrAeBnT/s1600/DSC05374.JPG" height="320" width="319" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 6: Dip your cotton ball in the water and place onto the backside of the design. Hold it there for 30 seconds or so or until the paper starts to slide off the design. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Today I have another look I created using the <a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/">Bundle Monster</a> 2014 Sun Kissed nail stamping plate collection I previously posted about <a href="http://www.shannasnailadventures.com/2014/09/nail-stamping-with-new-bundle-monster.html">here</a>. I also stamped each plate onto paper so you can see all the designs and how well they stamp.<br />
<br />
First though - here is my "Under the Sea" design using BM-501 and BM-510. (See below for the plate images.)<br />
<br />

For this look I used OPI Glitter off around my cuticles, then let that dry. I then sponged on two nail polish colors, Sally Hansen "Pacific Blue" and China Glaze "Turned Up Turquoise". The result reminded me of the ocean. </div>

I then used BM-501 and BM-510 and Konad Black and stamped on the design as I liked I really like how the design turned out. I then topped off the design with my favorite top coat, Seche Vite. </div>

<br />
I hope you are all well. Today I have 2 nail posts for you for days 10 and 13 of the September nail art challenge I am doing on Instagram.<br />
<br />
The first design is for day 10. The challenge was "chevron" nails. Here is the finished look! :) I like how they turned out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5MuxyEWGuw5f2G2Rf2Nxy4dXWkIuZo3lkGEXchWScKlF4DlR2iIVWkaP3NlmnmBHC7sobX2REygnR_uhOs1XsHsJd8PRcpS08QZt4pXIWqKx6ut72IP7K0cvbbpXJL-ctzfn_qq8ClGf/s1600/IMG_2829.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5MuxyEWGuw5f2G2Rf2Nxy4dXWkIuZo3lkGEXchWScKlF4DlR2iIVWkaP3NlmnmBHC7sobX2REygnR_uhOs1XsHsJd8PRcpS08QZt4pXIWqKx6ut72IP7K0cvbbpXJL-ctzfn_qq8ClGf/s1600/IMG_2829.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
For this look I first painted my nails with a white base coat. Then I used some chevron nail vinyls that I got <a href="http://www.nailvinyls.com/">here</a>. I placed them on each nail in the design I liked. Then I chose 5 colors of polish to my liking. For this I used LeChat colors. (I will post the colors below) and put a drop of each color on a sponge and dabbed them on my nails. I then removed the vinyls and topped it off with Seche Vite top coat.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgssy1JtPI01X3nPK2u6UpagHvZYkuDF_faebw1CkXdcC0Hq0ImKfJwrsftiZj4EG-MKSnsYj9OY4V4ziaHSuXoZPOea6J4JKoOgN3loDXgBQtjlUi72jH49egbZOJBdGFrT7FSGGYvE5hu/s1600/IMG_2830.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgssy1JtPI01X3nPK2u6UpagHvZYkuDF_faebw1CkXdcC0Hq0ImKfJwrsftiZj4EG-MKSnsYj9OY4V4ziaHSuXoZPOea6J4JKoOgN3loDXgBQtjlUi72jH49egbZOJBdGFrT7FSGGYvE5hu/s1600/IMG_2830.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The colors I used, shown above are LeChat Perfect Match in Happily Ever After(yellow), Butterflies(purple), Rock Candy(blue), Cotton Candy(pink) and Moon River(green). I bought these all at my local nail supply store but you can also find them online on Amazon.com. They come as a set, both gel polish and regular. So you can match your toes to you nails! Or just use the regular polish at times like these. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For day 13, the nail art challenge was "school" nails. For this design, I used a white base coat, then applied a top coat. I then hand painted all the designs with acrylic paint. Once finished, applied another coat of top coat. And voila, here is my finished look.<br />
<br />

<br />
I hope you are all having a nice weekend. Me, I was catching up on some nail designs for @Californails monthly nail art challenge on Instagram. The way the challenge works is that about every 3 days there is a different design that you are to do. You interpret it however you want, and it's fun to see what designs people come up with.<br />
<br />

Here is the challenge:</div>

So far I have done day day 1, simple. I used my pink <a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/">Bundle Monster</a> gel polish and stamped the top with <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/">MoYou London</a> Bridal plate-06 for the lace. Then I added a little rhinestone that I got at Michael's. Here is the picture. </div>

Day 7 was triangles. I used Orly Luxe for the gold, LeChat Just Breathe for the tan, and for the triangles I polished a plastic bag with the pink, green and gold, top coated it and let it dry. Once completely dry, I peeled it from the plastic, layered them and cut the little triangles using cuticle scissors. I then painted the nail white, top coated it, and placed the triangles where I wanted them. Then, I finished it all off with my favorite top coat, Seche Vite.</div>

<br />
Today I am going to show you a design I made with the new 2014 Sun Kissed Collection by <a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/">Bundle Monster</a>. This set is a little different then their previous sets. This set is 10 nail art stamping plates and they are all ocean themed. I know summer is coming to a close for a lot of us, but this set is beautiful, deeply etched and stamped perfectly for me. <br />
<br />
Here is my design. I did my stamping over a base of black gel polish from Bundle Monster's Basics Collection. I swatched that collection in my last post and you can check that out <a href="http://www.shannasnailadventures.com/2014/09/review-of-bundle-monster-gel-polish.html">here</a>.<br />

I used plate BM-506 and BM-509. I took pictures of the 2 plates I used, but it is very hard to get a clear picture. (Note: the plates are not scratched, but still have the protective blue film over them. Once that is off, they are perfect and shiny. No scratches at all.)<br />

Look at that adorable lighthouse. I used Mundo De Unas stamping polish for the light blue, Konad white for the lighthouse, then used a coat of OPI Sheer tints in yellow for the light. I am very happy with how this design turned out.<br />

<br />
I was so excited when <a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/">Bundle Monster</a> contacted me and asked me to review some of their products! In fact, I still am! Eeeek! Today I am going to share with you one of their Gel Polish Sets, Basics Collection. This would be a great starter set if you are new to gel polish. But, even as a avid gel collector, some of these colors are much different from any I already have.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9qDX8kVOVTrvdoovKvIRbowyXxuKfdzleHwNBUHfHF8dqmgaw_iBQZEGuVbKWtemBXEBFXsfZvr5j3HvJMwhzxYBIwXAoAcVqWP6UTBumc0ECI5xj0HuIh5YtKNJW8Sk1Ci5i27jcFT6x/s1600/IMG_2813.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9qDX8kVOVTrvdoovKvIRbowyXxuKfdzleHwNBUHfHF8dqmgaw_iBQZEGuVbKWtemBXEBFXsfZvr5j3HvJMwhzxYBIwXAoAcVqWP6UTBumc0ECI5xj0HuIh5YtKNJW8Sk1Ci5i27jcFT6x/s1600/IMG_2813.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
As with most gel polishes, you want to lightly buff your nails so the shine is gone, then you want to use a bonder if you have one. After that, you apply your base coat, cure 30 seconds with an LED lamp or 120 seconds with a UV lamp. Then you shake your color well, apply to nail (if any polish touches your cuticle, you can use a concealer brush with a little alcohol to clean it up prior to the next step) and cure as noted above. Repeat as necessary. I usually do 3 coats of color to get full opacity. Then apply your top coat, cure. Then using a little alcohol on a lint free pad or cotton ball, wipe away the tacky layer. And - DONE! Beautiful gel nails that will last up to 14 days.<br />
<br />
<br />
The first gel polish I swatched is White. This is actually one of my most used colors, believe it or not. This color was very opaque and really only needed 2 coats to get to the perfect color. But, I put a third for good measure. :-) The formula was very nice, and I found the polish very easy to work with.<br />
Here is the white. Beautiful!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The next color I pulled out of the collection is pink. This one surprised me. I really fell in love with this color. As with the white, the constancy was good. 3 coats was the perfect amount. Aren't you in love too!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Next up in the collection is this brilliant purple! Oh man, I really wanted to leave this one on a while. This shade is perfect for fall. I can't wait to of a bunch of manicures with it in the future. I found the consistency of this one a little watery even after shaking a bunch, and had a bit of shrinkage, but it still it went on smoothly and again, 2-3 coats will do the trick.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYHaubq9_5E0V-3jPhEUTxk58jIuZkP1nj5b5UYssWBw613WH5MOWetlPMzBdWs4MtzksIxFQDAQm5Owv4DpNQTV5mzxb_FWflEhndCXjKAzg1NAzcffr0SRQMxmmzPVUUlJGng_Znbt0/s1600/IMG_2808.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYHaubq9_5E0V-3jPhEUTxk58jIuZkP1nj5b5UYssWBw613WH5MOWetlPMzBdWs4MtzksIxFQDAQm5Owv4DpNQTV5mzxb_FWflEhndCXjKAzg1NAzcffr0SRQMxmmzPVUUlJGng_Znbt0/s1600/IMG_2808.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now, the next color is a little tricky for me. Me and my husband were debating what this color is supposed to be. I think it is supposed to be a brown/taupe (i.e. Basics) but when I was putting it on, it almost seems to have some purple undertones. My husband kept calling it burgundy. Anyways - you can debate as well. It is still a very nice and neutral color. As with the rest, opaque in 2-3 coats.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQZQL99rs-HFz6TRhxRg8zEbACHP0Vo3qxInWZaTuUsVhY-fy7nyOPNLH6mwwvaXG_WAcov8EnfSPiAd_f_7RuJPc5nlJv9b9H12cu6QVnP_NHx9xI8T1Hp9VUM4lm73Gz7QqjgmIL9X2e/s1600/IMG_2812.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQZQL99rs-HFz6TRhxRg8zEbACHP0Vo3qxInWZaTuUsVhY-fy7nyOPNLH6mwwvaXG_WAcov8EnfSPiAd_f_7RuJPc5nlJv9b9H12cu6QVnP_NHx9xI8T1Hp9VUM4lm73Gz7QqjgmIL9X2e/s1600/IMG_2812.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The next color is a gorgeous royal blue. You know how sometimes you almost can't tell if it's purple or blue - this one is like that. I had a hard time capturing the true color on this one. The one thing I can tell you is I was oohing and ahhing as I was applying the color. A little bit of shrinkage with this one, so I had to flash cure (curing each nail for 10 sec right after applying) to prevent too much. 2-3 coats equaled brilliant coverage.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And lastly, and my favorite (the one I am still currently wearing and received multiple comments on today) is this special black. Now, why it's in the Basics Collection, I don't know. It is not basic. This black has tiny gold glitter in it making shimmer and shine. I LOVE it. Black and gold have always been a favorite of mine. (Can't you tell?) This one went on very nicely and I didn't have a shrinkage. Opaque in 2-3 coats. It is gorgeous. The picture below doesn't do it justice. </div>

<br />
Welcome my very first blog post! Hooray! And thank you so much for being here!<br />
<br />
First I want to say how excited I am to get to this part of my adventure! Blogging about nail polishes, products and nail art? Who knew? But I have been doing nail art for over a year now, and have always painted my nails and filled baskets full of polishes. I could never have enough. Now, I have a room dedicated to my hobby. (Yes, this is a hobby. I am not a professional.) And yes, I share that room with my husband and our dog...but still. This is a fun time for me, and again, I am glad to have you join me.<br />
<br />
I have a couple projects coming up that I will be posting about. I have some swatches of 2 indie polishes by Creative Cuticles Nail Polish. They will be releasing just in time for Halloween. (Hint, hint)<br />
<br />
I have also been sponsored by Bundle Monster to review some of their products. Some gel polishes, nail tattoos, the new Sun Kissed stamping plate collection and some other fun stuff. Yay!<br />
<br />
So come back soon, or better yet, subscribe so you know when I post!<br />
<br />
Take care!<br />
