2013 Bundle Monster Create Your Own "Nail Stamping Collection" :Review

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Tonight I have the full details on Bundle Monster's Latest Collection.
This collection has 26 plates.
Right now it's $16.50 a Set.
When you purchase this set from Bundle Monster you can save 10%
by using code- Thanks
and in the USA they offer Free Shipping.

*****WARNING*****
****HIGH TIDE**** 

SURFS UP

Thie package is reclosable.

26 plates in total.

Each Plate has a blue film/sticker that needs to be removed.
All the plates have backings that stay on.
This is there to protect us from the sharp edges.

The Full Nail images are roughly 1.5 cm long
Which is the same as there Holiday Set and the 3rd set.

Full Nail roughly over 1 cm wide.
almost 1.5cm



























And now the Zoomed Swatches.





























This set has multiple tricky images to stamp.
Many images are engrave alot like BM420 or BM419. Images that need to be scrap very lightly
and at a just right angle. Other images you must be aware of the directions of lines in the image and stamp in the same direction. Again very carefully and lightly.
This is why I feel that this set is not a good beginners set.
Many tricks that most of you may already  know but others do not.
A few images just didn't stamp that great.
But I do know Bundle Monster has the Best Customer Service and 
will take care of these few images for me.

Now in all honestly I am a hard reviewer.
I pick apart the plates and check for details or lack of details.
Or any other possible issues.

This Collection is a Great Collection to own.
I can't believe that Bundle Monster has 5 Collections in total
plus 1 Special edition Hawaiian Christmas Plate.
I keep all my Bundle Monster Sets in their Binders that they sell.
I have had my first one now for over 1yr and and it still looks brand new.
If you don't have one yet Grab it with your new set and 
*Don't forget that coupon code*
-Thanks-
Save yourself 10%

A Teddy Bear Killer on the Loose!!!

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I have lots to share with you. A new plate set has just been released.
I am finished swatching "all" of the plates I just need to take pics.
And of course I zoom in .

So with this Mani I wasnted something really different. Something unique.
I have never seen a Mani yet like this one.
It's different yes, but I like different.
Helps add some extra spice in the nail world.

SURFS UP

 I used QA40 and RA118
I used saran wrap to add the blood and stuffing. 
Then I made 2 stamping decals. Top and bottom part of bear.
For the knife I used a single grass blade from RA118 and drew my own handle on.
The only knife image I had was Konad13 and it was to small.
I finished to Mani off with Mash Nails Matte Top Coat.
Did you know that with Mash's Matte polish is does "not" smear the stamped images.
I put this right over my nail. And when I Matte a Mani it stay chipped free alot longer.
You can always Matte it then Glossy coat over it again just for the extra 
chipping resistance.


Pretty different huh?

Have you done a crazy Mani?

Next post is all about BM Newest Plate Collection.
I'll have zoomed plate pictures along with zoomed swatches of all the images.
til then.. Hang 10

Today's Number of the Day is 4 and 22.

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today the Shorties have return.
This project has been a load of fun.
My nails are growing out more now and the different sizes are
driving me nuts.. I may just file these suckers just to tame them a tad and get them back into
shape.

SURFS UP

Sesame Street The Count.
I used MyOnline Shop's MJ 22 plate
along with her Special Stamping Polish  "Purple"
I also used Cheeky Jumbo 4
and added Fresh Paints Matte Finish.

Blood Sucking Mani!

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today I have the Long Ladies to share with you.
I have been wanting to make this Mani for some time and finally did it.

SURFS UP

I used Bunny Nails HD01 Plate.
and made stamping decals.

I really wasn't feeling the blood drip.. To me there was just to much
of a white canvas still left. And the Mani was screaming for more.

I like this one the best. 
I use Acrylic Paints in Red,White and Black.
And Saran Wrap.
I finished it off with a Matte Finish.

Which Mani do you like best?

Opened Mind Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

The shorties have returned yet again for some more action.
Now I am going to warn you ahead of time.
I used a naughty image.
I don't want to offend anyone here, so if this isn't
you cup tea than you may want to skip this post..

Do you remember my post about Mundo de Unas plates and Stamping Polishes?
She really has unique images here and her Stamping Polish is Amazing.
I am tough on products, and I like to push the limits with these products.
 Well I used the sex plate yet again.


SURFS UP

I started with a Black base.

I used 5 different Mundo de Unas  plates.
H18-H32-H36-H39-H48
I also used Mundo de Unas Stamping Polishes.
Look how bold these colors are over a Black base.
I finished this Mani off with a Matte Finish.
I only have a few colors right now but my goal is to have them all.

Have you tried these plates before?
What do you think about the stamping polish?

I Taught I Taw a Putty Cat.

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

The Shorties have returned again for some more action.
Doing my Right hand has been both fun and challenging at times.
The worst part is maintaining those darn cuticles to be picture perfect.
I have also been taking advantage  of having short nails around the house 
and in the yard.. Yes I said yard.. I do yard work all the time. 
I do wear gloves,but that doesn't give me 100% protection from the dirt.
So I have to use a nail brush and give them a good scrubbing.
I also like to exfoliate my hands. I use salt or sugar for a quick scrub.
It make my hands extra soft and smooth..
Okay back to these Shorties.

SURFS UP

I used Funk Fingers Starling and Fresh paints Coconut as bases.
Fun1 and MJ SE along with Cheeky Jumbo7 and Cheeky's Mega Plate
The Yellow was stamped using MyOnline Shop's Yellow stamping polish.



MyOnline Shop's Special Edition Plate

Cheeky Jumbo 7 

Do you mix and match all your plates together?

Thank you for surfing my wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit here at My Beach.

Trick or Treat

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Tonight the shorties have return.
I have been playing around with acrylic paints more lately.
I came across a very cool affect I can achieve just by using saran wrap
with these paints. I don't have a Tutorial yet.. But I will soon.

SURFS UP


I used Bundle Monster  Holiday Collection Plate
BM-H07
I used Orange,Red and Black Acrylic Paints over a Light orange base.
Here's a closer look.
I finished the Mani off with a Matte Finish.

I cut my cuticle up and now it must heal.
Lots and lots of cuticle oil and creams to the rescue.

My exciting News to share is that Bundle Monster has asked
me to Review their new Fan Created Nail Stamping Collection 2013.
Of course I am all game for this honor.
I will put these plates through the same tests as I do any other set.
And yes. I will swatch the entire collection. And I will have those zoomed
in pictures of the images and also pictures of the plates in real life.
I am really excited to see this complete set.
I'm even more excited to start making new creations with these plates.

Did you submit any drawing for this collection?
Has your image or images been chosen for the collection?
I did not submit anything,but I am excited to see the final results..

Beetle Juice..Beetle Juice....Bettle Juice! Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

The Shorties have made another come back today.
With my nails now being much shorter than what I am use to,
I want to push the limits with these too..


SURFS UP

So first we have base coats..
I used acrylic paint and saran wrap to create this effect.
And I also made a stamping decal as well.



I used Mundo de Unas Plate Handy H2

So far having short nails on my dominate hand is a blessing.
I can do so much here at home without them getting in the way.
But I don't think I'll be chopping my other hand down any time soon.
It's much harder to photograph this hand for me.
I must have atleast 50 pics of this Mani above..
I think these fingers have a mind of their own and move every time I snap a picture.

Have you ever tried to post your dominate hand?
Try it.
I see your really enjoying the posts here.
I'll try  posting everyday to every other day.

Thank You for surfing my wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

Circle and Swirls for Shorties

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today I am going to be sharing with you a very simple
way to achieve a hollow circle.
I stumbled upon with this a few years back.

SURFS UP

This is my Final results. I used Fun5 
which can be found at Llarowe's Store
I first started off with adding large dots using paints.
Once it's almost dry you go and lightly rinse it off with water.
Don't rub tho or you will wipe your dots clear off.
Just lightly let the water hit them and the water will hollow them out.
3 Mani's in 1
 I really, really liked the big chunky dots, but I wanted to do more.
Here's a better picture to show you the different lengths I have going on now.

See short nails can still play with the Big Boys..

Which Mani way do you like best?

Thank You for surfing my wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

Short Diva's can still Rock

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today I am back with my "shorties".
I have so much fun painting and arting this little guys.
After my long nails getting a test run on this saran wrap technique
I wanted to see how well it would work for shorter nails as well..


SURFS UP

This look is so fun and easy to do.
Plus by using acrylic's it dries so much faster too.

I used MyOnline Shop MJ16
and stamped in my trusty black from Mash Nails.
The chunky Gem is also from Mash Nails.


So what do you think of these shorties?
Are you getting bored with them yet?

Me personally, I'm loving these little guys.
I'm sure going to miss them when they all grow out.

It's almost Hunting Season

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I've been so focused on my shorties that my left hand has been naked 
and waiting patiently for it's turn in some action.
So today I dedicated my time for my left hand.

I really wanted to try something different. 
Something fun and originally.
I wanted to see if I could make my own camouflage design.
But with out stamping it and without drawing it on.
I wasn't sure how well this was going to turn out so I did not take
pictures during this application. 


SURFS UP

I was really pleased in the end on how these actually turned out.
I was very hesitant on arting over this base.
I did add Mash Nails  Matte Polish over this.
I used 1 coat of Fresh Paint "Coconut" Polish
These are the Acrylic Paints that I used.
I did a Saran Wrap Technique.


 So I bit the bullet and stamped it..
I used Fab Ur Nails Fun3 for the forest/woods
and Bundle Monster  BM214

Night Vision.

Have you tried different techniques lately?
I like trying to push the limits with nail polishes and paints.
