Today I have Lot and Lots pf pictures to

Purple and Blue Tropical Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today's  post is just a simple stamped Mani with a decal.

SURFS UP

I started off with 2 coats of  On a Trip
by Wet'N'Wild
I used BP-24 for art
and I used BM-S410

I actually stamped this in White and then went over the White 
Then I stamped the seashell and colored it in with nail polish on my stamper
and once dried, I pressed it onto my nail.
The center yellow is acrylic paint.

Do you try different mediums in your Mani's?

Thank You for visiting My Beach.
I hope you enjoyed today's post.
And I hope you return again soon :)  








Colorful Sea Creature Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today's Mani  is like a coloring book.

SURFS UP

I started off with 2 coats of White for my base.

Then I stamped them in Black using CICI&SISI Ocean 01
Acrylic plate.
Stamp in Black

Then I colored it all in randomly.
I used WaterColors Pan Set to color these in.
Apply your TC before the next step.

I used the Ocean 01 plate again here and double stamped
in Black then White.

I liked how colorful my Sea Creatures Mani turned out.
It's definitely not the traditional Sea looking Mani.

Do you do  non - traditional Mani's?

I tend to do those kind a lot.lol
I just look at it as Art.
Wild,Crazy and Fun!

Pink Tropical Paradise Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today's post is a Mani I did last week.

Which is really taking priority,since I have about a dozen
of Mani's I've done before this.

Like,I have this dry brush Mani,with all sciencey  stuff on it.
And I did this smoosh and twist base but I did casino art over that.
And then there's this Maroon base with colorful scrolls.

Yikes.. 
I better stop chatting here so I can post more..lol

SURFS UP

Did I ever tell you Pink is my Favorite Color?
I don't use it alot.
I actually use it less.
And I think it's because I am trying to savor all my pinks.
They just look so pretty :) <3 .="" p="">

I actually used Bundle Monster's Hottie Tottie Stamping Polish as my base.
I applied 1 coat of White Polish and then did a Smoosh`n`Roll using
White and Hottie Tottie together.
(It's just like a Smoosh`n`Twist but instead of Twist you Roll ;) )

I used BM-S409 from the HangLoose Collection by Bundle Monster
I used the words " So Cal" from this plate.
This is also from the HangLoose Collection by Bundle Monster.

I used the Bird on the Top Right Corner on my middle finger.
This plate is also part of the HangLoose Collection.

I used Dark Knight by Funky Fingers as my stamping polish.

I used the Monocle XL Clear Stamper by  Bundle Monster.

I am Really Impressed with how all these plates work so well together.

I have not put this set away since I've received it.
There is so many creations to be made still.

Just yesterday I did a Mani that did not consist of this collection as my main art.
But, then I quickly added a little something-something that did come from collection.
And it's something that is small.
But, Man... It sure added it's own twist to the creation.

Thank You for visiting My Beach.
I hope you enjoyed today's post.
And I hope you return again soon.

Oily Stampers?? Lets check them and clean them up.

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today's post is about Oily Stampers.
How to Check them and How to Clean them.
Part 1

SURFS UP


In the Video Below I test a Few of my stampers.
Most that I am doing here are the Clear Stampers.

And I do not mention in the video but
*you can use dish soap and wash your stampers and holders.*

*** I have personally had a Bad experience washing my clear stamper***

See, these stampers are fragile.
And I was washing it and rubbing my hands together with it
and one of them had stretched out the silicone and left a nasty tear.
Another time, one slipped down the garbage disposal side.
And a 3rd time, after I have washed it, it made things worse.
I had issues after issues with that stamper.  




Now I am not sure exactly where or why the oil happens.
But it doesn't matter how new or old your stamper is.
My Guess is the oil is coming from the Silicone material.

Now I have had mine all clean before.
And after time, it just builds up.

I found cleaning them with the Alcohol has helped from my 
stamper head from sliding in.
Also, I have learned that the Alcohol has not made my stampers 
to stop working.

And No Matter What NEVER EVER use Acetone to clean 
a Clear Stamper and a Clear plastic holder.


Have you ever cleaned your oily stampers?

Thank you for Visiting My Beach.
I hope you enjoyed your visit.
And I hope you return again soon.

Sand Dollar with Orange Burst Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today I have a Mani Featuring
Bundle Monster's Essentials: Brights 2nd Generation Stamping Polish
Along with Bundle Monster's HangLoose Collection


SURFS UP

I started off with 2 coats of Daiquiri on Deck by Funky Fingers.

For art I took the challenge and double stamped these so they would fit my nails.
I used BM-S406 <- collection="" hangloose="" p="">

I did a reverse decal using BM-S410
I used Bundle Monster's Monocle XL Stamper
This Stamper made it possible for me to double stamp 1 image.


For Stamping Polish I used.
 "Orange Burst"
And it stamps amazing!
( I also used Dark Knight for the Black stamping)
Here's a Macro Shot
You can't even see where the first stamp ended and the new one began. :)

I can see just a little on my pointer finger. :( 
But it was still a pretty good line up. :)

Have you ever tried Bundle Monster's Stamping Polish?

I have 2 sets and I love both of them..
I am in need of more :) <3 p="">

Thank you for visiting My Beach
I hope you enjoyed today's post.

Bundle Monster's Essentials Bright 2nd Generation Stamping Polish Review

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Today I would like to share some "True" Stamping Polishes.
I say "True" because these are meant to be used as a stamping polish.
I use traditional "normal" nail polish as a stamping polish sometime too.

So if I use non stamping polishes before why use 
"true" stamping polishes then?..
Well, not All Polishes show over a dark base.
And Not All Polishes stamp solidly either.
It's always nice to add color to your Mani's.
And Colored Stamping Polishes can really make a Mani POP.


SURFS UP


**I did misspell Essentials here :( **

Here is the 2nd Generation of Essentials Bright Stamping Polish


These are Very true to color over a White Base.
And probably a light color base as well.

But over a Black base they appear to change in color.
Which isn't always a bad thing.
Sometimes these are the real colors we are looking for.

*Either way I still think this a Great Stamping Polish Set.**


Essentials is spelled wrong below :( 


Macro Shot.
Just look at all that detail.

This is a soft/firm XL clear stamper head.
It is 4cm and it Works!
It has worked non-stop.
And Yes... It will work with other plate brand as well.
And...No.. It does Not Quit on you.
I have used this now probably over 100 images.
And it is still working :) 
Monocle Stamper  is the Working Stamper.

I have a Video Coming Soon to show you how Amazing this  works.

Thank you for Visiting My Beach.
I hope you enjoyed today's post.
And I hope you return again soon. :)

Fun Flamingo Mani

Hello Nail Surfers 

Welcome to My Beach

Today I have an easy and fast Mani.

Surfs Up

I started off with 2 coats of Dark Knight by Funky Fingers as my base.


For my Stamping Polish I used Bundle Monster's Essentials Bright Collection
I used Hottie Tottie & Sunrise.
Sunrise showed true color being a Yellow even over a Black base.
Hottie Tottie shows as a Reddish over Black instead of a Hot Pink.

I've been testing guy out lately.
So far everything is Great!
It is a soft/firm Clear XL Head.
It is 4cm wide, and has a handy short holder with a clear lid
to protect your stamper while not in use.
Monocle Stamper can be found Here

**This Stamper worked straight from the package.**
NEVER use Acetone on ANY part of this.

Thank You for visiting My Beach today.
I hope you enjoyed today's post, and I hope you return again soon :)





Sally Hansen Insta-Dri for a Stamping Polish

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Have you ever ran out of true nail stamping polish and needed a quick fix?

Most of the Good Stamping supplies are only sold online.

When I first started stamping years and years and years ago,
I would always run out of Konad Polish.
That stuff is not cheap either.
I did not know what I know today about stamping.
I am self taught.

SURFS UP

These polishes are typically One coaters.
One coaters usually work very well for stamping.

Now they do stamp Great over White and even for tone on tone Mani's.
Some of the colors actually stamp over a Black base as well.
*Their Silver is OMG Amazing*

Years ago.. Like 6years or better Five Below had these 3 for $5
And I also scored some at Dollar Tree back in the day as well.

Now most local stores do sell these.
They cost about $4-$5 a bottle.
I did find a good deal on Amazon recently.
There is 10 bottles for $18.99
That makes them $1.90 a bottle.

*Now my bottles above a very old*
*And need a Very good mixing*
But they still worked Amazing. Even after ALL these years.

Sometimes you need just the right color for stamping.
And Company's online don't always have the right shade your looking for.
These are Great to have on Hand.
And they work with any plate and with any stamper.

Do you use any store brand polishes as a back-up stamping polish?


Thank You for Surfing My Wave.
I hope you  enjoyed your visit today.
And you return again soon.

I have some more Reviews Coming up Along with some New Nail Art.
