Bundle Monster Turns 5! Nail Art Challenge Day 22: Icing

Eh, I am not too thrilled about this manicure. When I saw the prompt I thought sugar-spin, but I could not find a stamp that really encompassed “icing”. And of course, I ended up covering most of the stamp!

For whatever reason, there has been a huge insurgence of this nasty blue frosting on cakes. I think kids like it because of the color. It is the nastiest tasting, most staining frosting I have ever seen. It is the greatest shade of blue though — something about a food that color screams “danger!” for the stomach! Hehehe…

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Milani Dark Coffee, Gems and 1 coat of butter London Hen Party as my base.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plates BM 308, 318 and Konad Special Polish White.

I sugar-spun with Color Club Almost Famous! and Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot (I kid you not, this is the exact color of that popular frosting!)

Instead of playing catch-up I decided to jump back in and continue from there.

I should really expand my ice cream horizons but I keep coming back to my mint chocolate chip ice cream!

I hope you like my mint-choco with whip manicure!

I dotted with Milani Dark Coffee and sealed it with a coat of Seche Vite.

I am so behind on life right now. I am dealing with an annoying flare so everything works at 3x a slower speed!! Hopefully, I will catch up tomorrow, but we’ll see how I feel.

For the 17th, I decided to use the big kiss stamp. I really like this stamp and think the picture transfers very well. Just as I started with the pink sugar-spin I thought of doing brown as well for hershey kisses! Ah well, inspiration for next time!

I hope you like it!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Julie G White Orchid and 1 coat of Orly Sec n Dry as my base.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish Red and Bundle Monster plate BM 303.

I sugar-spun with a mix of China Glaze Caribbean Temptation and Zoya Reece.

My absolute favorite part of presents are the ribbons. Why? Because they double as cat toys. I have not bought a cat toy in years. Just kidding! This is why my cats love presents.

I love ribbons because they are so multi-purpose and so so so pretty!! There are so many. I can put them in art, pretty up almost anything, and they are functional!

I hope you like my ribbon art for today’s prompt!

 

ImagebuI used 2 coats of Color Club Almost Famous and 1 coat of Urban Outfitters Banana Hammock as my base.

I saran-wrapped with Rimmel London Reggae Splash (Kate Moss collection), Sephora by OPI Cover Me in Petals and Sinful Colors All About You.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish Red, Bundle Monster plate BM 321 and Konad Special Polish Black, Bundle Monster plate BM 316.

I love parties and dancing, drinking, bright lights and staying up until dawn…until, the next morning! I still have very fond memories of the night before but they are accompanied with just as sorrowful hangovers and headaches…and the little voice that says “NEVER AGAIN!” Until the next weekend, of course 😉

I hope you like my interpretation for party animal…or the day after!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Milani Black Swift, 1 coat of butter London The Black Knight, and 1 coat of Julie G JetSet top coat as my base.

I dotted with American Apparel Neon Red, Neon Yellow and Rimmel London Reggae Splash (from the Kate Moss collection).

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 305 and Konad Special Polish White.

I finished with 1 coat of Seche Vite and 1 coat of Revlon Celestial FX.

Bundle Monster Turns 5! Nail Art Challenge Day 13: Flowers

The first thing that came to mind was a groovy flower theme. However, I’ve done this a couple of times before (nail art here and here) so I wanted to go with something different. I remember a really cool galaxy/gemstone-esque nail art I did back in December (linked here) that I always wanted to revisit.

I decided to try something similar with different colors and a flower stamp! I hope you like it! It definitely does not have the same effect as the original but I think it came out looking pretty good anyways!

I hope you like it too!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of butter London Cotton Buds as my base.

I water-colored with:

  • Zoya Suvi, Giovanna
  • Sephora by OPI Cab Fare
  • Sinful Colors All About You

I water-marbled with:

  • Milani Quick Teal
  • Sephora by OPI Caffeine Fix

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 311 and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

 

What do you think? Is the teal a little too much? I considered using Zoya Yara instead but did not think it would show up. I wanted to use a creme color because the base was sparkly. Did this look work?? Should I have added INM Northern Lights on top to make everything sparkly?

Bundle Monster Turns 5! Nail Art Challenge Day 12: Cake

I had so much fun making this manicure!!

I rarely eat cake but I love the idea of them. The checkered layer cakes are beyond cool and all the frostings possibilities are just fun. I can never bring myself to eat such brightly colored sugar cream but it does not mean I can’t enjoy the look of them!

For this manicure I included a checkered sponge cake and some frosting droplets. This took me a couple of hours. I did not realize it would but waiting for the polishes to dry took time.

I want to take another stab at this because I like the idea behind it. Next time, I want to make the droplets more uniform, or at least attempt to make them more uniform. It is a particularly messy endeavor and clean up is a pain, but I like how it came out.

I hope you do too!!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Julie G White Orchid as my base.

I sponged Urban Outfitters Westside, Sinful Colors Chick Chick, and Julie G White Orchid to create the color for sponge cake.

I used Bundle Monster plate BM 319 and Konad Special Polish in Black.

I used Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot, OPI Red Lights Ahead…Where?, and Color Club Almost Famous! for my frosting droplets.
