Hey guys! Today I have a polish from the China Glaze Spring 2013 Avant Garden collection to show you, and my first stamped mani using my new BundleMonster plates! :)
China Glaze Tart-y For The Party (+ stamping with BM-315)
Tart-y For The Party is a really pretty purple creme. It's not quite pastel but I wouldn't call it a mid tone purple either... And I can't quite decide if it's more cool toned or warm toned. :/ You can be the judge of that LOL. I thought it was quite unique to my collection when I bought this, but I actually do own a few similar shades haha. I'm just a sucker for purples (which is weird because I don't wear them that often and can feel like they look bad on me). This is actually quite similar to OPI Do You Lilac It. I haven't swatched them side by side but in the bottle they do look similar. Tart-y For The Party is definitely brighter, however. So not dupes IMO, but similar :)
I then stamped using my brand new BundleMonster plates! :D I'm still pretty new to stamping so bear with me! I've been practicing a lot since I got them and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
I used BM-315 with Sinful Colors White On White.

| Close up - you can see the stamping isn't perfect close up but from a distance it looks fine! :) |
And I know I have been changing up my watermark a lot LOL. I think I'm really happy with this one though. I might make it a bit more opaque though... You can't see it much lol! I'm kinda tired of the around-the-cuticle watermark. :P
Have you picked up any colours from the Avant Garden collection? Or will you be? I'm still not sure if I want to grab any more... I can't decide lol. I might pick up Mimosa's Before Mani's and Keep Calm Paint On. Still undecided, though. :P
Thanks for reading! I hope you have an awesome weekend :D I have a pretty full on weekend so I may not have a post up until the end of the weekend... We'll see. :) ♥

That's one of my favorite stamps. Looks beautiful
Very soft and girly! I love it :)
I agree, soft and very feminine, so pretty :) xx
Your stamping comes out pretty and neat! Lovely~
This color is on my wishlist! I also want the Keep Calm and Paint On and Mimosas Before Manis too. You should totally get them so I can see how they look ;) !
Beautiful polish combo, very soft and feminine!
I prefer light box photos aesthetically, though my view is probably tainted by the fact that I live in an apartment and it's hard to me to get any good photos outside (plus, I'd look like a crazy person photographing my nails on my balcony!)
