Mundo de Uñas: Stamping Polish Review

Hi everyone! I have a fantastic review for you all. Today I will be reviewing a few of Mundo de Uñas stamping polish. (Translation is World of Polish I think...?) Ever since I discover these polishes from my favorite group on Facebook called "Adventure in Stamping" I had to share with you all.

I purchased these polishes directly from Mundo de Uñas's facebook page. If you send her a message on facebook she gets back to you really quickly. I purchased 15 mini's do to the fact that I wasn't sure if I would like them at first and I really regret not buying the larger bottles now.

The minis are 5mL and the regular is 14mL and these are the following colors I purchased from her:

White

Black

Pastel Blue

Pink

Yellow

Lila

Light Gray

Dark Gray

Blue Gray

Aqua

Avocado

Cooper

Metalic Violet

Neon Green

High Green

The 5mL range to $1.50USD per bottle and the 14mL range to $3.00USD per bottle. Shipping will vary depending on where you are located. She is located in Mexico so she will do International Shipping.

The one thing I love about these polish is that they stamp GREAT over black. Especially really hard colors such as pastel or even neon. But these polishes do an amazing job!

Another awesome thing about these polishes is that if you have a image that you really love, but its' not etched in deep enough, these polishes can work over even the most impossible etchings. This has saved me from throwing away or tossing out images I love but wouldn't stamp.

The polishes are 100% cruelty free. They were not tested on animals like some cosmetic companies. However they are not 3-free. Because it is a stamping polish and the consistency of it is VERY thick they will work differently than regular nail polish, it will have chemicals in it. Similar with the Konad polish. But for a personal experience these are better than my Konad.

Now a few people have complained about the smell of these stamping polishes. I will admit they do have a strong smell, but I work with my very own acrylics and gels. And because I work with acrylic liquid which is REALLY strong my loving boyfriend forces me to wear a mask to help with my breathing. If the scent of polish gives you headaches or your very sensitive to strong smells I would recommend wearing a mask. (If your working with chemicals you should be wearing a mask to help you. Breathing into these chemicals, even regular nail polish isn't good for you.) If the mask doesn't help, open a window to get some fresh air into the room. 

When it was being shipped customs did have them for about 8 days, but other than that it got to me very fast and safe. Each bottle was bubble wrapped and safely packed together. She only accepts paypal. 

Overall I love these polishes, They are inexpensive, the shipping isn't terrible, they were safely packaged together and they work GREAT! I love these polishes and I will continue to purchase more!

Favorite Stamping Polish

Good morning everyone! Happy Sunday! Yay! I love my Sundays, I especially love the fact that I can still show a lot of my favorite nail products.

Today's topic is Stamping Polish.

Believe it or not a lot of the times I don't even use brand name stamping polish like Konad, MASH, or others. The only brand that I use the most is Kand (A rip off brand of Konad) which you can purchase at the Born Pretty Store for about $4.19 a bottle. The product is very thick, pigmented, and sticky. It matches the Konad brand very well, the only thing I've noticed is that the finish comes out Matt then shinny, but a shiny top coat can fix that. Or you can always purchase the minis for a cheaper price. When I first discovered Kand Polish I purchased it in this set that I purchased from LightinTheBox. I only use Black and White (It came with a red stamping polish) because they are the most common stamping colors I use. The white is super opaque so it works well for me.

As I was saying I don't use the big brand stamping polish. Most of the Polishes I use are normal brand name polishes. It's really a trial and error with testing for regular polishes but they work. I find that ones that are opaque in one coat, super pigmented and really thick, make some of the best stamping polishes. Especially old ones you don't usually use anymore.

My favorites are:
Sally Hansen - Insta-Dri Collection
Sally Hansen - Xtreme Wear Collection (Only a few of them)
Color Club - Foiled Collection
Sinful Colors - Snow Me White (Second best white stamping polish I own. It's almost 3 years old with no thinner. Still works great as a regular polish as well.)
China Glaze - Romantique Collection
Salon Express - Stamping Nail Art Polish (Purchased from Five-Below. I'm not sure if it's available anywhere else.)
Wet n` Wild Wild Shine Collection -  Black Cre'me (Not as crisp as Kand/Konad brand but it does really well for a regular polish)

I recently discovered a stamping polish from one of my stamping sisters from "Adventures in Stamping" And the polishes are called Mundo De Unas (Don't know how to put the little ~ over the N) But I purchased a bunch of the Minis and I won't go back to Konad, Kand or even my other polishes. The one thing I LOVE about these polishes is that some of the pastel colors will go over the black REALLY well. If you wish to see some photos please check out her facebook page. If you wish to order some of her amazing polishes just send her a message over at facebook. She'll get back to you quickly. Mundo de Uñas

Have a beautiful weekend!
