It's Halloween Time

Hello Nail Surfers..

Welcome to My Beach..

I have some Mani's to share with you all that I have done in the past few weeks.

I have been busy here on the home front and things won't calm down til hopefully by December.

So if you see I haven't posted in awhile its because things has not calmed down yet.

We are relocating. It's an exciting adventure but time confusing and frustrating also.

I will have my very own nail room with a beautiful view. Once things have all settled I will

be back at full force. :) Ohhh. I can't wait to have all my nail stuff spread out in the open.

SURFS UP.....

 In this Mani I used Cheeky Mega plate and stripping tape.

Which way to you liked better. 

Matte version above? or  Glossy as below?

I like the Matte look with this Mani.

Here's a Simple Lady Mani.

 I used Cheeky Mega C

In this Mani below I used the splatter technique and 

used Mash 29 and added some free-handed crosses.

 

I hope you enjoyed your visit  at my Beach.

Bundle Monster Plate Binder

Hello Nail Surfers 

Welcome to My Beach 

Today I am sharing my thoughts and opion on the Bundle Monster Plate Binder..

HIGH TIDE WARNING!!!!

 SURFS UP.....

 This case holds 168 plates total. Front and back loaded.

Look at the difference in size alone.

The BM case is very stylish with an alligator style finish.

2 BM binders are still smaller than my 1 binder.

Bundle Monster Binders have a zipped enclosure  to help keep things in place.

I went from this...

 Seeing  9 plates at 1 time.

To this.... 

Seeing 12 plates at 1 time : D

I know most of you are thinking the same thing I did when I first saw these.

Will my plates fall out?

How well will it really work for me.

Well let me tell you all...

 I LOVE this binder. I have both of mine filled up already.

The plates don't really move around much.

You can carry it upside down if you wish to,just squeeze

the case a little and you will be safe.

I did a video review also

Cheeky Jumbo A Plate

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

 I have to Mani's to share with you today. The first Mani my daughter wanted me to use lots of gems on my accent finger. I wanted this airplane. I don't know why but I really thought the airplane just went better with the design pattern. I used Cheeky's Jumbo A plate. Which you can purchase Here Or Cheeky's Store Here.

Cheeky is still working on their official store webpage.

SURFS UP....

High Tide Warning!!!   

 

       

                

Have you ever changed your Mani with in a Mani?

I personally like Mani #2. 

Thank You for surfing my wave. 

I hope you enjoyed you visit at My Beach. :)

Monday Night Football Nails!

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today I am showing my Monday Night Football Nails.

 Green bay Packers VS Seattle Seahawks

I had this great idea to add the teams logo's but I don't have a seahawk head ,So I used a large football from Cheeky's Mega Plate. Found Here.  I do wish these Mega plates where all numbered.

I did do a poll on my group pages in-regards to the single image sizes. They are smaller than the sample/test set. Cheeky made them smaller for those with smaller nails and they are actually the same size as the single images on their other set (2012).  Most of the results are for bigger single images,but its a close race because another suggestion was brought up. Both sizes on 1 plate. The plate is big enough to handle this and it gives more possibilities with these images. Something for Cheeky to think about for any future sets.

Cheeky does listen to idea's,suggestions etc. So don't be shy, tell them your thoughts. They take everything into consideration. They want the ultimate nail plates/beauty products  just as much as we do. So why not put our 2 cents in.

SURFS UP......

I used CH 5,CH 4,CH 35 and Mega plate

for the football.

All the plates I used can be found Here OR 

Here

I take alot of pictures I'm sorry.

But how cool is it to use those all wall paper art.

Please leave your feedback on the image sizes. 

I will be making my final report to Cheeky soon.

Together we can have the Ultimate set for all of us.

Short nails,long nails,wide nails etc. :)

Thank You for surfing my wave.

I hope you enjoyed your day at My Beach.

"Bling Bling"

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today I tried Mash's Bling Nail Art Stickers. 16 come to a pack and they are very blingy.

Now I have long nails, but not super long nails. These stickers just cleared my middle finger in length.

I also have wide nail beds too and I have yet to find the perfect nail sticker for my nails. All 10 of my nails that is. Now I do enjoy using these as accents fingers and they surely add the bling to my Mani.

Here's my NOTD.

SURFS UP...

High Tide Warning!!!

You can purchas these Bling stickers  Here

Mash Plates do stamp extremely well and I havn't had any stamping issues.

They do have a protective backing to prevent sharp edges.

To order your Mash Plates go Here

You get 25 plates for $15.99

These Bling Nail Stickers do stick extremely well.

I did use a base coat to protect my natural nails. 

Have you tried any Nail stickers?

Would you use them on all 10 nails or as accent fingers?

Thank You for Sufing my wave.

I hope you enjoyed My Beach. 

Fire Pit

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today I have a Mani to share with you  that I used my printer with.

The printer does come pre-loaded with images and this was 1 of thousands I could choose from.

I still need to update the system with new photos that the company continues to update with new images.

The machine does not have built in Wi-Fi so I need an extra adapter.

I see a great improvement already from the last time I used it. The customer service on this is OMG Awesome. I talk directly to the owner. He will even help me understand the extra photo programs that came with my machine. I need to call him again this week and discuss some questions I have.To me I feel the images should be alot more crisp than what I am getting. I feel that maybe my fingers are to close to the ink cartridge or maybe I'm using to much IRC. As you may remember last time I wasn't sure if i was keeping this or not. Well there is a no return policy,since this is a salon quality machine and they mainly deal with bushiness VS the public. I could probably sell it back to them but I'm just gonna keep it. :)

Its like any new electronic you get, your lost at first but you learn all the tricks in no time. 

My cold is still here unfortunately. I am hoping to get back to stamping soon :)

"Fire Pit"

Super Zoomed

Using my printer give me fast instant art.

I really should my machine more plan I do already.

Oh and this unit uses  regular printer ink. :)

Thank You for surfing my wave today.

I hope you enjoyed My Beach.

Kleenex

Hello Nail Surfs

Welcome to My Beach

I really want My Beach to stay on the wave and just chat,post,etc. about nails here.

But I feel I need to share my lack on posting. I have been sick with a nasty sinus cold. I am approaching 2 wks now.  And its really difficult to have my head down to paint anything. I have tried 2x now for a Mani and the Kleenex had different art in mind that I wanted to use. 

But I have been working on my Cheeky Summer Set review.. I want to have a complete full review. 

For those that are wondering here  are some quick details about this set.

~Summer Set has a pink backing so be-careful when ordering.

~When purchasing  make sure you read fully if that set includes the box and scrapper.Not all sets come this way.

~ The plates are bigger than previous set.

~The images are slightly different than the sample set that was previewed.

     (Cheeky will be updating their pictures of the set)

~ Yes the single images are smaller than the sample set, But they are very close to size of the 2012 set.

~The full nail images are bigger than the previous set.

~Shipping does take awhile but, Cheeky is working on a way to ship faster.

~This is a Company that will listen to your feedback. So speak up.They take everything into consideration. 

I have some swatches I did in comparison of the 2 sets. The photo's came out terrible tho. I need to retake the pictures.

Speaking of photos.. I am about to trash my light box. I still get glares. And the cardboard corners show up when i try to take pictures of plates. So all my plates pictures where taken outside.  Any inside details of why my box is giving me such issues? I am up for any suggestions.
 

Burning Love

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

 Did you ever do a Mani with art one day than the next decide to change it but kept the base?

 I was looking at my nails saying to myself I wonder how flames would look on top of this gradient.

So I quickly grabbed the remover and worked fast to just erase my previous art. It worked good since I had a good layer over of  top coat over my base.

SURFS UP......

I used Mash 48

The center photo I used matte top coat.

It really shows color detail with the matte.

The Glossy top coat also showed detail but did not photograph that way.

Mash Plates can be purchased here

Do you use matte top coats?

What kind do you use?

I feel that a matte top coat actually prevents more wear than a glossy.

When I want a certain Mani to stay on for a few days I will matte them than gloss them again.

If you matte right over your stamped art you can have possible smearing. So best to gloss than matte.

Thank You for surfing my wave.

i hope you enjoyed My Beach today :)
