Happy New Year! Hit Polish Into Darkness & Bundle Monster 609

UGH! So this photo does absolutely NO justice to this lovely combination! Though I did take the pic super quick in an elevator before anyone else got in. lol

I really, really wanted to stamp with my Bundle Monster clock image (plate 609) to celebrate the NYE countdown, but the teeny clocks just did not want to show up. I started with OPI 4 in the Morning since it's such a great quick-drying dark base to use, then a nice thick coat of Hit Polish's stunning glitterbomb Into Darkness.

On a few accent nails, I chose to stamp over 4 in the Morning, using the clocks image... and gears on the nails the clocks didn't transfer well on. My go-to stamping polish as of late, is of course Orly Voyeuristic Adventure. Seriously, could I not have found a pretty gold with a shorter name to stamp with??

I then topped everything with Orly Shine On Crazy Diamond because it adds just the right amount of holo sparkle without overwhelming the underlayers. Not like this photo is proving that point or anything, just go with me here! lol

My bf and I drove up to Washington, D.C. for a Clutch concert at the 9:30 Club (it was awesome!) and we were able to visit a few museums and monuments. Our hotel, the Helix, was pretty awesome too. It was a great way to bring in the new year, I'm really excited for 2015!

Bundle Monster 613 aka cat scratch claws!

Honestly, I wore this so long ago (middle of last month) I can't even remember what polish it is... terrible, I know!
I stamped with Orly Voyeuristic Adventure using the Bundle Monster 613 plate. I think I prefer the scratches going across my nails or at an angle versus straight up and down, but that's pretty picky. The plate stamped nicely. : )

OPI DS Indulgence, Orly Voyeuristic Adventure, & Bundle Monster

So I had my first ever manicure/pedicure appointment last Tuesday and it was fun! I was initially drawn to OPI Teenage Dream because I don't have it and OMG GLITTER but OPI DS Indulgence caught my eye and I figured it'd be a bit more holiday-y than a cotton candy glitterfest. lol

I also got OPI DS Tourmaline on my toes and it's so sparkly and pretty and girly, a perfect toe polish! I'll have to be on the lookout for that one and DS Titanium as well, both are really pretty.

Another reason I chose Indulgence was because I knew I could stamp over it when I got home! : P
I just received my recent Bundle Monster order and I truly love these plates... I got BM613, BM609, BM401, BM426, and BM415. I was especially looking forward to BM415, it's been on my wishlist for a while- I love all the designs! I'll try to get a pic of my new plates, they're great!

I've really been wanting to play with some gear imagery, so stamping with Orly Voyeuristic Adventure I used both BM415 and BM609 to create some accent nails.

Bundle Monster Sun-Kissed Collection 2014

I'm so happy with these! When the design transfers nicely, it's like magic! lol

I wasn't done wearing the combination of China Glaze Take a Trek and Hit Polish Pegasus, so I added some stamping from Bundle Monster's 2014 Sun Kissed collection. I purchased the set off Amazon and I love the designs.
I had to redo my thumbs, so I used China Glaze OMG a UFO and Sci-Fly By from the same Hologlam collection. The green in OMG a UFO didn't show through Pegasus as well in person, the blues did the best I think.
I'm so impressed how even the mermaid's teeny hand and arm stamped cleanly, especially since I'm only using the little pink stamper that came with the small Essence intro to stamping set I picked up at Ulta. My Cheeky stamper from Amazon is on its way... any day now! I may *also* be expecting plate packages from Born Pretty, Messy Mansion, AND Loja BBF! SQUEE!!
