Press Sample
Nail Polish Canada very sweetly sent me a new Bundle Monster plate, just in time for Valentine’s Day. On the BM-H16 you will find conversation hearts, tattoo hearts, roses and the word love written in a beautiful script. It definitely got me in the mood to create Valentine’s themed nails!
First up I tried stamping with my Konad Special White with Cult Nails Devious Nature as a base (how gorgeous is it on its own?). I couldn’t get the image to transfer well, so I grabbed my MoYou Special Black. Same problem. Then I realized it wasn’t the plate, it was the scraper! I had been using some random scraper I found in my Helmer and it wasn’t cutting it. I used my old standby – a store card that I don’t really need in my wallet. It made all the difference in the world!
See how much darker everything is compared to my ring finger? Once I stopped using the scraper, the images transferred perfectly! Don’t mind my ring nail looking squished, I didn’t wait long enough for my top coat to dry.

| How pretty is the rose design? |
I changed it up a little for my actual V-day mani. I used two of the stamps from the Bundle Monster plate. The base is Seche Buttoned Up (from the Perfectly Poised collection) with a layer of Salon Perfect Loves Me Loves Me Not on my index finger and Hearts A Flutter on my pinky (both from the Love, Lashes & Lacquer collection).
What was your V-Day mani? Leave me a link in the comments or tag me on Instagram so I can see yours!
