 Every Plate has a Blue Protective film that needs to be removed before use.
And always Remember that some glue residue may be left on the plate, so
cleaning it off with acetone may be needed.
( I had no issues with glue)
Each plate does have a backing. But if you do get polish on the backings the words
will come off with acetone.



 

 

 

 

 

 
 







































Bundle Monster sure has been busy with this set.
I really like how the images are unique and will fit long
and short nails. These plates are Buffett Style.
 
Do you like this Secret Garden Collection?
I've had my eye on these as they were showing some sneak previews.
 
 
This entire Collection stamped perfectly.
And I used a squishy stamper for all my stamping.
 
Thank You for surfing My Wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach :)
 
I have lots and lots to share still.

Above the Curve Glow in the Dark Collection

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach


Today we have a Glow in the Dark Collection.
But it's not like any other Glow in the Dark Polish.
This is Indie Polish! 
And it truly does glow.
Above the Curve Nail Polish has done it Again.
Another Amazing Collection!!

Lets get to the good stuff now. :)


*****WARNING*****
*****HIGH TIDE*****

The Glowing Power is just AMAZING.

This is 2 coats plus a Top Coat.

Macro Shot Above.
I am still in Ahh with these amazing colors.
Glow with the Flow has a Silver Holo/Shimmer 
It's Electric has a Gold Holo/Shimmer
Lite Brite has a Blue and Silver Holo/Shimmer.
All 3 of these are 2 coats. No Top Coat was added.
And if you look closely you will even see more colors in these polishes.

 So of course I always want to test the limits with these polishes.
And every Challenge I dish out  it always Wins.

I even Challenged this polish to paint over Metal Studs.

I started off with a White base coat  and then did a gradient
with It's Electric and Glow with the Flow. 

I used XXL I for art.

Here is "It's Electric".
I painted 2 coats over a White base plus a Top Coat.
I choose to use a White base so my Orange would be brighter.

These suckers have such a bright glow that it illuminates.
I used Bundle Monster BMH 07 

I used 2 coats of "Lite Brite"
This Purple is Oh So Amazing!
I used XXLF plate for art.

Here's the Collection working together.
As you can see, each color Glows differently than the others.
I started with a thin White base. Then I added each color.
I tried to stay on an angle during application.
I did 2 coats of each color than applied a Top Coat.
I used Cheeky XLC plate for art.

I love how I can use this collection for 3 seasons.
Spring, Summer and Fall.
It's Electric is a perfect example of how versatile they can be.
Imagine... 
2-3 coats of Lite Brite  with a Halloween theme.
or
I wonder how amazing this would be in a Splatter Mani..
hmmm I may just have to do a swatch stick of that tonight now..

Above the Curve Nail Polish  is an Outstanding Indie Maker.
And I absolutely Love that they Donate a portion of each bottle sale to a Charity.
 Now that is One Amazing Company!

Do you have any Glow in the dark polishes?
Do they work like these?
I have a few, but none shine like these do.

Thank you for surfing my wave. I know this one was a big one.
But I like sharing with you, all the things I like to do to Challenge these  polishes.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

Above the Curve Nail Polish Review

Hello Nail Surfers 

Welcome to My Beach

I have lots of pictures to share with you today.

Above the Curve Nail Polish is an Indie Polish Brand.
This Brand has a meaningful name and cause.

Angel has scoliosis and Shriner's disease.
When she was 12 Shriner's Hospital of Portland gave her a Life saving
surgery that corrected a 74 degree curve.
This is were the name comes in.
Above the Curve and spine logo is to live above the curve of scoliosis.

They donate a portion  of their  proceeds to Charities to help others.
They donate to many kinds of Charities and have donated over thousands
already and plan to keep donating for the cause.


*****HIGH TIDE WARNING****
Many Mani's and Swatches!

This is the Newest Collection out By Above the Curve 
Summer Destinations 2014

This Collection can be purchased here- AboveTheCurve Store Link

These 4 polishes dry with a Matte Finish.
You can always add a Glossy Top Coat to make them shiny.





This is an outdoor shot.
I used 3 thin coats of Myrtle Beach and Coney Island .
3? you ask.. Well I don't having VNL (Visible Nail Line)
and when I held the polish bottle in my hand  I saw a line. 
2 coats has great coverage. 


Did I mention how this polish dries in Record Time?
It really does. It dries faster than any polish I have,
including Seche Vite.

This is with a Top Coat and indoors.

I used 3 coats of Boardwalk (Blue)
and 4 coats of Venice Beach.
This Polish goes on Glossy but Dries Matte.
I used MJ XXIV  by MyOnline Shop for art.

I wanted to have fun and mix some colors up.
I use Venice Beach,Coney Island and Boardwalk.
I used Wet`N`Wild Matte Polish to Matte my Black Nails.
M42 is what I used for art.
I just love how these polishes compliment one another.

I wanted to try water marbling with these.
It wasn't a huge success at first. 
These polishes dry super fast already and when I tried to create a design in the water 
I was only making a mess. So I hurried up and dipped one finger and
and got as much as I could on it.
I used Pueen Encore Set SE O4 B

As a Stamper I just had to try.
They all do stamp, but I would recommend over light color bases only.

I wanted to show that even if your not a stamper these
polishes work great as Art of their own. I left the center blank so you can
visualize what you would for art. Would you add a straight Black line?
Or add some Rhinestones for some Bling-Bling action?
Dots would also look great going down the center of this nail as well.
The possibles are endless. Be creative and go wild.


Here I painted the nail  2 coats of White and add a Matte finish.
I then used a straw to make the splatter design.

I have had so much fun with this collection.

They apply so easily and dry in record time.
Removal was not bad either.

I would defiantly recommend this collection .
