I love confetti! It is messy and so colorful! Whenever I sent letters, I stuffed them full of glitters and cutouts and general happiness. People always knew I was the sender — even before opening the parcel!

I hope you like my confetti, glitter-y manicure for the Bundle Monster challenge! My camera just cannot capture this neon yellow properly!! It has the most horrendous formula, but it has the most wonderful color!! But, I think it is a little too bright for my poor little camera.

 

ImageI used 3 coats of American Apparel Neon Yellow as my base.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish Red and Bundle Monster plate BM 301.

I dotted with Sephora by OPI Cover Me in Petals, Color Club Wham! Pow!, Almost Famous!, and Essie Naughty Nautical.

I finished with two coats of Zoya Maria Luisa.

Bundle Monster Turns 5! Nail Art Challenge Day 10: Cupcakes

I was one of those kids who dislike cakes and cupcakes, just for the sheer fact they felt weird in my mouth. I always opted for ice cream cakes instead. I love ice cream!! Love it!!

Anyways!

I do love L-O-V-E looking at cupcakes. They are a really cute shape! There are so many varieties and flavors, in cake and frosting and even sprinkles. There are neverending possibilities!

If I am asked to choose one type of cupcake it would be the funfetti ones. There are so many pretty colors! My manicure was inspired by these colorful creations!

I hope you like it! (This was a difficult one to photograph, I think there were too many details and my camera did not know what to focus on!)

I started with 2 coats of Julie G White Orchid as my base.

I dotted with Color Club Mrs. Robinson, Milani Peacock, Sephora by OPI I Come In Peas and Deborah Lippman Popular (Wicked Collection). 

Before the dots dried, I “saran-wrapped” with Julie G White Orchid and Sinful Colors Chick Chick.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish in Black and Bundle Monster plate BM 307. 

I used the following polishes (from pinky to index finger) for the sugar-spun frosting:

  • Sinful Colors Chick Chick + Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen
  • Deborah Lippman Popular (Wicked collection) + Essie No Place Like Chrome
  • Essie No Place Like Chrome + Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen

I added crystal beads from the Martha Stewart crafts collection as sprinkles.

Bundle Monster Turns 5! Nail Art Challenge Day 8: Party Hat

On any girl’s birthday she is the princess for the day! Even if she, like me, did not particularly like princesses. Everyone says hello and wishes her a Happy Birthday. Everyone is nice to her, even just for the day.

What goes with being a princess? Tiaras!

Okay, so I never liked tiaras or princesses but I never liked those paper party hats either. It was not so much the pointy cone part but the annoying rubber band that I had to put over my face. It was uncomfortable and the hat would not stay on otherwise!

I hope you like my manicure for today’s Bundle Monster prompt!

 

ImageI used 2 coats Revlon Parfumerie China Flower and 1 coat Sephora by OPI Mr. Right Now as my base.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 304 and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

Bundle Monster Turns 5! Nail Art Challenge Day 6: Macaroons

Today’s prompt is macaroons! Weird things, macaroons. They are bright, funny colors and look like mini hamburgers. They never quite made sense to me!

I was kind of at a loss for what to do with this manicure so I just chose to use the colors I usually macaroons in and stamp that sort of resembled them.

I am still working on my stamping skills but I hope through this month I will just get better and better at it!

 

ImageBase colors in order from pinky to index finger: Zoya Reece, Color Club Twiggie, Urban Outfitters Westside, and Milani Dark Coffee.

I stamped with Essie No Place Like Chrome and Bundle Monster plate BM 322.

Bundle Monster Turns 5! Nail Art Challenge Day 4: Red Velvet

Check out the sidebar for more information

 

For today’s Red Velvet prompt I thought of two things: red velvet cakes with cheese cake frosting and velvet cushions. I wanted to sugar-spin the frosting but did not want to use a cupcake stamp because there is a cupcake prompt later this month. So, I mixed both themes together!

My red velvet cushion cupcakes with cheesecake frosting and sprinkles on top!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Zoya Cheryl and 1 coat of Sephora by OPI Mr. Right Now as my base.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 310 and Konad Special Polish in Red.

I sugar spun with a mix of Julie G White Orchid and Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen. I love the pearlescent color they add to icing!

I gently added glitter pieces (with a toothpick) from OPI Polka.com and Sephora by OPI Be-Claus I Said So to the top of the frosting.

Bundle Monster Turns 5! Nail Art Challenge – Day 2: Gift Wrapping

For more information check out the banner on the right sidebar! It will link you to the prompts and the official press release on the Bundle Monster website.

I have never been good at gift-wrapping. I always got so annoyed because my wrapping paper skills were never as good as my mother’s and I held myself to too high a standard to be happy with my attempts! I always did the gift bags with fun tissue paper creations and other decorations, instead.

All that aside, I can pretend I am awesome at gift wrapping on my nails!

I used 2 coats Sinful Colors Secret Admirer (this was actually an untried I was saving for the Never-Ending Pile Challenge but it was perfect for this look) and 1 sheer coat of Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen as my base.

I applied Seche Vite before stamping with Bundle Monster plate BM 317 and Konad Special Polish in Black.

I free-handed the ribbons with Wet n Wild Black Creme and Sephora by OPI Cover Me in Petals.

I really hope I keep up with this nail art challenge!! It will be happening on top of all my other posts but I love my Bundle Monster plates and I really want to participate. If you would like, check out the banner on my sidebar for more information! (It links to the official press release on the website). The one rule of the challenge/contest is to use a Bundle Monster product. That means more stamping for me!!

The first prompt is sugar spun. !!!!!!!  …And what goes better with sugar than sweets?

Sorry about the picture quality! I am still playing around with lights (I need to buy a new one) so it is hit or miss on the lighting and quality.

I used 2 coats of American Apparel Parakeet, a generous coat of Milani Sugar High, and Serum No. 5 Happy Special Day! as my base.

I sealed and evened the base with a coat of Seche Vite.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish in Black and Bundle Monster plate BM 322.

I sugar-spun with Essie Naughty Nautical, Deborah Lippmann Popular (Wicked collection) and butter London Cotton Buds. These colors reminded me the most of icing!
