Simple Elegance

Just a quick stamping post today using another one of my new Bundle Monster plates.  I had a performance on Friday night, and of course my nails couldn't go naked so I wore 4 coats of OPI Barre My Soul.  


By the time I got home it was pretty late so I decided to just add some stamping on top of what I was already wearing.  I used BM-314 and Konad Black polish to stamp on this design.  I'm kind of bummed that I smeared the image a little when I put on top coat, but it wasn't visible at all from arm's length. 


This is actually something I've had in the back of my mind since I saw this image on the Bundle Monster plates, and I'm glad that I finally got around to doing it.  


I really enjoyed wearing this (especially with my matching black lacey leotard to class and rehearsal the next day.)  I think it has a kind of simple understated elegance to it.  How do you like the neutral background with black stamping?  Is this something you'd wear?

  9. I keep spotting this manicure on my Bloglovin' feed and through instagram. Each time I love it more.
    I'm always scared to stamp transparent shades, but you have shown me that it is possible, classy and elegant

  10. I will be pinning your entire blog at this rate! And you're just 16? I was still on horrible pink frosty polishes when I was that age, it was fashionable then! It was! Ha, love every mani you've done.

  13. Hi, I LOVE this stamp and I am looking forward to ordering some Konad stamps and Bundle Monster stamps but I guess i dont really understand how this works? I know you mentioned you used BM-314 but when I search for it on Amazon it pulls up alot of different plates. Can you please just clarify this for me and how it works? Sorry! haha BTW i'm your newest follower! LOVE your BLOG!!

    1. Also, if you use a bundle monster stamping plate can you use it with ANY stamper? Like a Konad Stamper??

    2. I thought I would answer you as I looked it up as well...LOVE this plate. BM-314 is a plate from Bundle Monster's 2012 set, but it can be purchased individually for 1.99. It has 6 pictures on it which may explain the variety of hits on google? I am pretty sure you can use any stamper but not all created equal. I am trying to find a recommendation at the moment.
