OPI Ski Teal We Drop!


Today's nails are OPI's Ski Teal We Drop. It is from the 2010 Swiss Collection.


A dark Blue-ish Teal Creme. 2 Coats


I then tried to Konad/BM it and it was a fail! I'm having trouble with the new BundleMonster plates. I don't have trouble with Konad or the first gen. BM but i am with the new set. it wouldn't pick up all the image. I tried and tried, then when it eventually did i went to stamp it on my nail and most stuck down on my nail while some parts didn't and it turned out like this.


That was plate 214 and was supposed to be the leaves. Stamped with Konad White.

Is anyone else having problems with the new BundleMonster Plates??

Mode Blue Steel & BM

Here i have for you an Aussie brand nail polish Mode. Today's colour is Blue Steel, one of the three i picked up from the chemist on the weekend.


I umm'd & arhh'd about getting this polish but thought what the hell it's only $2-45!!! What an amazing colour. I really love it and i am glad i got it in the end! It looked streaky in the bottle and i thought i'd have trouble with that but i didn't. I was thinking it would be more grey but its definitely blue with some shimmer. It is exactly as it's name suggests. This was 2 coats.

I also received my Bundle Monster plates in the mail on Monday. I haven't had a chance to do any stamping yet but i am loving the skulls and the gingerbread man and can't wait to try them out! The skulls might be the first to use. 


 (sorry they are a bit linty and dirty, i dropped them all over the floor
and didn't realise how dirty they were until i went to upload it here)


 If you've bought the first Gen. bundle moster plates you will know that they are quite sharp because they didn't have any backing, smaller designs that don't fit some nails and had a clear film on top that you had to remover prior to using. Well..... Bundle Monster your amazing! You listened to everyones feedback about the plates! The new plates now have a backing on them just like the Konad ones. They still have a tiny bit of sharpness to them but nothing like they were before. They have bigger images so they can fit your whole nail including Thumb nail, and they also have a clear blue plastic on top so you can actually see that the plastic needs to be removed before use.



Have a happy "Hump Day"..... Ohh and May the 4th be with you! (sorry had to do it)
