Bundle Monster Squishy Silicone Mega Stamper and Shangri-La Stamp Plate Review

Press Sample

Appeal 4 Soft Wave Bundle Monster Shangri-La Plate Mega Stamper Review
Above mani features a new stamp plate from Bundle Monster Shangri-La plate BM-S109.

Hey Everyone!

Today I have a new stamper and plate set from one of my favs Bundle Monster! I’ll be reviewing the Shangri-La 10 Piece Stamp Plate Set and the Mega Stamper & Scraper Set. I have really been loving everything Bundle Monster has been putting out lately, they really speak to my polish soul lol To be honest, they had me at Shangri-La! When I think of Shangri-La I envision an exotic paradise with beautiful rich colors and intricate designs all romantic like. Who doesn’t want that on their nails?! Ok, let’s look at the plates first.

Here are the pics of the plates from Bundle Monster. 10 gorgeously designed plates that are abstract florals and patterns. They have a bit of a tribal or Aztec feel to some of them. These are right up my alley!

Here you can see the quality of the etching, they feel like all the other Bundle Monster plates I have.

Along with the plates I was also sent their new stamper set, the Mega Stamper & Scraper Set. This set is Bundle Monster’s response to the larger squishier stampers that are flooding the nail art scene. It comes with a gray cup shape holder, 2 silicone stamp heads, and 2 credit card style scrapers. The scrapers that came with the stamper are 1mm in thickness just like a credit card. Bundle Monster does sell a .5mm more flexible scraper which I prefer as they give me a better scrape. I used the .5mm scrapers for the above mani and stamp swatches below. The scrapers have images of some of their stamp plates, and I think that’s a great touch! They say “Scrape. Stamp. Swoon.” also an adorable touch.

Creative Shop Stamper review! and Azature Lapis Diamond

Hey Everyone!

Last week I received my Creative Shop Stamper that I ordered from Bsquared Lacquer so I needed to give it a try as it gets such rave reviews.  Spoiler alert!  I really really like it, and I thought it would be a good time to use 2 of my un-trieds Azature Lapis Diamond and FlossGloss Moon Baby and do some sponge gradients.  Check out my mani using the stamper.

First let’s talk about Azature Lapis Diamond.  I was super excited about this one since lighter blue cremes are my thing, in the bottle it’s a deeper almost periwinkle.  It applied very nicely but even after the first coat I knew something was weird about because it started to changed colors, and not like an all over solid change but streaking in places and turning darker.  And then once I added top coat it darkened even more, but at least it ended up being a little more even but as you can see it looks nothing like the bottle.  Maybe a different top coat would help.  You can see it the most on the thumb.  I’ve had other similar colors react like this so I think it is something with the pigments used, I’m looking at you Julep Taylor!
