I Love Triangle(s)

Nina Ultra Pro French Pink with Bundle Monster Stamping and Cuticle Tattoo

I've been craving some new stamping plates and Bundle Monster had a pretty good sale around Christmas time (15% off I think) so I bought two sets. I don't remember the official names, but I got the 400 and 600 series. They have a pretty good variety between the two so hopefully these will keep me entertained for a while. I've been trying really hard not to cave in and buy the very expensive MoYou London plates.

I love the tribal designs in these latest sets of BM plates. Both sets had a few options to choose from. The stamp I picked for this manicure is actually stacked triangles, but since the corners got cut off it's a little hard to tell. I'm looking at them now and wishing I had put the tip of the bottom triangle at the tip of my nail instead of the way it ended up.

 Good news! I think I may have found my perfect nude polish. This is French Pink by Nina Ultra Pro. My skin tone is very pink-based so this is a great match. The polish is a crelly with pretty darn good coverage. I put on three coats to make extra sure the nail line was covered, but I was impressed that it looked solid in two coats. I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM-403 and Mundo de Unas black stamping polish. As mentioned above the cuticle tattoo is also from Bundle Monster. One sheet has 20 tattoos on it for $1.50. I've been wanting to try these out so I was happy to pick them up pretty cheap. Sadly, the tattoo didn't last very long. Hand washing definitely takes a toll quickly. I'd say these are best used for a special occasion/event because it started rubbing off after just a few hours. If they had been more expensive I'd be disappointed, but they're cheap enough it was ok.

What do you think of the cuticle tattoo trend? I was a little hesitant at first, but I kind of love them now.
