Guess what just arrived in my mailbox when I got home from work last night? The brand new Bundle Monster Sun Kissed Collection, which I shared the press release about on here recently.
So I picked up my camera and got snappin’ because I’m sure that a lot of fellow nailphiles would love to see the cool designs on the 10 stainless-steel nail-stamping plates!
In this post, you’ll see each Bundle Monster plate in detail, as well as some commentary on each plate.
Stay tuned for a future post when I share my swatches of the manicures I come up with!
(Side Note: You may have noticed that this week, there have been fewer blog posts than usual. Things are always hectic on my end, but this week was particularly crazzzyyy town. I hope to get back into my usual 5-per-week posting schedule. I’ll do my best!) 🙂
Bundle Monster Sun Kissed Collection Pictures
The Bundle Monster nail-stamping plates come shipped in a bubble envelope. Then, there’s a resealable zip-lock bag you can store them in, if you don’t already have a binder like the one I showed you in this post.
Each plate has a protective blue film covering it.
Remember to peel off the film, or the images won’t transfer properly.
The backing of each plate is paper, so the edges aren’t sharp.
Look how cute the little fish look! You could totally pair them with any of the coral reefs or sea plants on this disc, and it would create a cohesive theme.
I’m a big fan of full-nail designs because they’re really easy to incorporate into any nail look, and also because I don’t have to be super precise with the positioning.
The below full-nail designs are so versatile that they can be used for much more than just seaside nail art.
Hehe, I like the fishbones! They would be really fun to pair with some cats! 😉
My favourite from this plate would be the jellyfish, although I love the little octopus!
Tinnnnnyyyy bubbles! And those seashells would be really fun if you’re doing a Little Mermaid theme.
The seahorse stood out the most to me! Haha, and I don’t know why, but the image in the middle at the bottom reminds me of a sea captain’s beard! Am I the only one who sees it? 😉
Ice cream! Cocktails! Those would be perfect for a summer manicure, wouldn’t they?
ARRR! This landlubber spies a pirate on deck!
My favourite from this plate is the one in the middle at the top. The diagonal design with the anchors is funky and different than a lot of sea- or sailor-themed nail designs I’ve seen.
Aha! I knew there must be some mermaids in this collection, and there are! 🙂

Which of the 10 Bundle Monster Sun Kissed nail-stamping plates is your favourite? If you could put together 3 designs from these plates, which would you choose? What’s a nail-stamping design you did that you loved?
I LOVE these plates. The designs are too cute and there’s something for everyone. I can’t wait to see the designs you create with these. 🙂
Hey Melissa!
I can’t wait to show you some of the designs I come up with, too! 🙂 I already have several ideas for pairing together a bunch of patterns and overlapping them. Hopefully I can execute them as well as I can visualize the finished look in my head!
These are so gorgeous! I especially like the idea of mixing the coral backgrounds with the little fish and making a whole underwater scene 🙂
Ok! You’ve convinced me, these are a must purchase!!!!! Just got them!

Hey Traci!
AWESOME! 😀 Please let me know how you like playing with the designs when you give them a go! I’d love to see your creative manicures!
I just got these in the mail too, and I love all of them! (Also, I didn’t know the packaging is resealable…in my frenzy to get the plates out, I just cut through the whole thing and dropped it in the trashcan. Dang it.) I’m still trying to get the hang of stamping, but I want to do a shell-themed manicure using a few of the shell designs. Never mind that it’s almost a third of the way into September! 🙂

Hey Jessica!
Haha, I can totally relate to your frenzy of excitement! 😉 Sometimes when I get a package in the mail, I rip open the box like a fiend. It could be scary to witness! HAHAHAH!
I ordered this set of stamping plates after seeing it on your blog. I’m new to stamping and really like the bundle monster plates that I have.
I have to give them a try!
bm 503. would so love to have it
*I wanna use nail stamps so bad but never got them, afraid that I may not get it right!?
this collection is so cool! i want more sets like this.. but then i never know how to store them. i keep them in little sheer nylon baggie thingies that some product came in, but there’s gotta be a better way. maybe i should get one of those big trapper keeper things. sort of like how my brother used to keep all his baseball cards all nice in a book 🙂

Hey ISA VAL!
Hope you have fun with the designs! 🙂
Oh my gosh like this is the perfect bundle for me!! I love all things sea and ocean related! Those jellies are calling my name!

Hey Rachel!
All the designs are so whimsical and fun! Plus you can pair lots of the images together to create something more complicated and beautiful!
ive always wanted to start doing nail stamping but don’t know what I need to get started. Help!
Hey Lissette!
You may want to check out this nail-stamping tutorial that I created when I first got into stamping: http://www.swatchandlearn.com/konad-tutorial-how-to-use-the-konad-stamping-kit-to-create-easy-nail-art-plus-konad-stamping-kit-review/
I never use stamps!
But I really want to try!
Hey Anastasiya!
Go for it! 🙂 They’re a fun way to dress up your nails and really customize them so nobody else will have exactly the same design as you!
I learned from #SwatchAndLearn that beautiful nail art doesn’t have to be hard.
Hey Susan!
Glad that you’ve been enjoying my simple nail art! 🙂
