    Preview: New Bundle Monster Plates

    You may have noticed that I don’t post many previews. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever posted one but this upcoming release has me really excited.
    Bundle Monster have been posting previews of the new plates on their Facebook recently. So far, they’ve been kind enough to show us five of their new designs.
    This time around there will be 25 plates with ‘lots of full nail and french tip designs’. The full nail and tip designs will be larger than the ones on the last set which I’m sure will come as good news to everyone.
    At the moment, I can’t find any evidence of a release date that’s set in stone. It seems as though the guys over at Bundle Monster are working as hard as they can to finalize all the designs and make the plates available to us as soon as they can, which should be just a few weeks.
    Follow Bundle Monster on Facebook and/or Twitter if you want to be the first to know when these plates go on sale.
    I can’t wait for the release of these plates and I’ll be getting them as soon as possible. Here’s to hoping they won’t sell out before I get a chance!
    EDIT: Since I posted this, they have released more pictures on their Facebook page. There are pictures of the actual plates and you can see the new, bigger pattern size.
    The set of 25 plates will cost $21.99.
    EDIT: Since I first published this post, I’ve edited it a few times to add new plates as we get them. There are a further 6 plates to the ones in the picture above and here they are all together.
    EDIT: 3 more previews added 21/04/11

    Do You Think I’m Tex-y Too?

    It’s just a quick one today. I did spend quite a while writing about how I think this shade is similar to OPI’s Do You Think I’m Tex-y then realised it didn’t really make any sense! I blame it on the cold I’ve been suffering with since the weekend, my head is all stuffed up and I’m just too tired to make real sentences.

    20 Candles

    I turned twenty today. It’s kind of momentus but disappointing at the same time. I’m no longer a teenager, I am a fully qualified ‘adult’ which I suppose is okay, but I sure am gonna miss being a teenager and getting away with all the things you can before you reach this age. Only five years ago, I was looking up at twenty-somethings and thinking, ‘Woooooooow, look how old and responsible they are’ but now it’s me and I still feel like a 13 year old inside, but I suppose it’ll always be that way.
    So the nails are a cake and candles!

    I used nail art brushes to freehand the candles and a dotting tool for the flames.

    Nautical But Nice

    I hit the shops with my mum on the weekend and it seems that nautical is in again this summer which I’m very pleased to see. I love all the colours and patterns associated with the sailor style. Nearly everything I purchased was blue and/or white with plenty of stripes, sail boats and anchors to boot.
    I spent this week searching for a perfect navy blue polish at a cheap price but didn’t find much luck. Then I remembered I had this blue in my collection and the lemming totally disappeared. This colour is just the perfect accessory for a nautical outfit.

    St Patty’s Day Mani

    I know these aren’t really shamrocks because they have four leaves but hopefully no one will call me up on it today!

    Blue Diamonds

    It seems that Twitter has broken down. I don’t know what to do with myself, I’ve been sat here refreshing for 15 minutes but still nothing. What does Twitter think it is? Tumblr?!
    It’s been so long since I used one of my matte top coats so I cracked them out again. I know I say this every time I use an all over geometrical pattern but I love that you can’t tell which colour is the base and which has been stamped on. Apart from when I mess up the double stamp on my thumb, which is every time!

    BYS Fools Paradise

    Tonight I went to see Rango with some friends – it’s now in my top 3 animated films ever. Every frame looks so perfect and the humour is just up my alley. I was more in the mood to see Battle: LA but I’m so glad we saw Rango instead.
    It seems like when I watch films, I concentrate more on the aesthetic than what’s actually happening in the story. I think this is why I love films like Tron: Legacy, The Cell, and Legend of the Guardians which I know plenty of people don’t for one reason or another. I just love watching them for the sake of watching them. They don’t have to please my brain when I can just drink them up with my eyes.
