Bundle Monster Owls

Bundle Monster plate BM-309 is the main reason why I purchased this series.  The owls sold me and the slippers (flip flops) are so fun for summer.  Today, I have the owls stamped on.  The full image was too big for my nail beds, so I was only able to use one big owl.  Next time I use this stamp, I'll use different parts of the image (most likely over a solid base) for an alternate look. 

 I was so excited to see my finished mani, that I totally forgot to stop and take pics along the way. Here's what I used;

• Nail Envy as base
• 2 coats Planks a Lot
• 1 coat Milani 3D Hi-Res
• brushed on tips Milani 3D Cyberspace to create a holo gradient  (wish I took a pic)
• 1 coat Out the Door (First time using it.  It is really fast drying.)
• stamped moon using plate BM-316 and SH insta-dri  Lightnng
• stamped owls with SH insta-dri Co Co-a-go-go
• 1 coat Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat

Just Spotted the....Giraffe?

This is my second attempt with the new 2012 Bundle Monster plates.  The first I used the puzzle design that didn't fully transfer.  I think the plate is fine.  It was just the stamper and the selected polish that was the problem.  This manicure is from plate BM-313.  I used Just Spotted the Lizard and stamped with Coco-a-gogo from the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri series.  Please bear with me on my photos.  I'm really trying to improve the quality, but it seems to be getting worse in my attempts to improve.

 

At first glance, I thought this was a stone path.  Especially the top outline image.

I used Just Spotted the Lizard as a base to pass it off as a turtle design.  In my head,

this was going to look awesome.

After the image was stamped, it's now pretty obvious that it's a

giraffe design.

I need to pick up a tan base and redo this image.  China Glaze has their Safari collection
coming out soon.

Here are a couple swatches of Just Spotted the Lizard.  This is one of my new
favorite polishes.  I just love the shifting color of the duochrome.

I got my Bundle Monster Plates!!!!

Wahoo!! I got my plates today!  I was getting a little worried because I expected them yesterday.  Today they weren't in with my mail,  Checked online and it said delivered.  Checked again an hour later and there they were.  Relief.  Immediately opened it up and started taking pictures. I can't wait to try these. 

They all came packed in this cute little box.
