Bundle Monster Rectagular XL Nail Art Stamping Plate Holder Review

Hey stamp champs,

It might just be me but I feel like these  days things are getting BUSY!  I'm just hectic at home hectic at school, and now even hectic with my nails.  Lol so far behind on everything and scrambling to make the magic happen.  And speaking of magic today I'm gonna talk about these new XL holders from Bundle Monster that literally stole my breath right away from me.  Its rare for me to just jump up and buy something these days because the market is so saturated right now!  But when my friend Yvette messaged me about these in the morning I was like "add to cart"---> "add to cart" ----> "check out with paypal"-----> "done".   Yes I was that impressed.  So now that I have my holders of course I'm going to share them with you.  As usual I try to break my review up into parts so that you can scan. through.  Mainly I will be doing plate comparisons and measurements.  I did also create a short video just to show you a few things so sit back and enjoy and don't forget to leave me some feedback darlings!!!!


Bundle Monster

A company that literally needs no introduction as one of the first companies after Konad to hit the nail art stamping scene and offer us some unique alternatives for our collections.  The best part is their prices have always been reasonable and their products easy to attain.  These last few months they have been releasing several plates aimed directly at feedback they received as a company i.e. give us larger images and give us storage options and they have been doing a bang up job!  To date the Hawaiian company has released at least seven collections not including the new XL plates (though those images are from the 7 sets) as well as a variety of stamping products aimed at their users.

Stamping Plate Comparison

I created this chart that includes the measurements of the various rectangular plate brands that I own. The chart also includes a guide that lets you know whether or not the plates will fit in this holder or the generic AliExpress holders sold by various platemakers as well.  After this review I'll move this chart up into a tab at the top of the blog for easy access.

Video Review

I also created a video to take you through all the various plates that work with this holder and also to demonstrate how you can wiggle certain plates that fit snugly in order to fit them in the holder.  Feel free to take a look at that as well since it includes some things I could not "show" in a static blog post.



Final Impression

I unequivocally LOVE this plate holder!  The fact that it holds so many plates across so many brands fills my heart with happiness as someone who does own a large variety.  In addition, the construction of the holder is thoughtful and stylish unlike some of the generic holders which makes it more attractive if you want to display your plates.  I think it's also great that this holder fits so MANY brands of plates so that you don't have to limit how you use this holder in a major way except with the DRK plates.  In addition, the quality of the the materials selected for this holder, particularly the faux croc, are top notch!  I really don't have a single complaint though I'd like to see Bundle Monster introduce more colors in the faux croc material.  Purple anyone?

So so here we are after my first storage solution post!  It was a doozy and it really took me a bit to get the hang of how to structure this review, but I think I was able to pull it off ! However please leave me feedback if you have a question I didn't answer or a suggestion.  Also if you are interested in seeing a review of the Generic AliExpress holders let me know ok.  I have a ton of them and I also use them as a means of storing my plates.  If you are interested in purchasing the Bundle Monster holder you can purchase them here.  Thanks for reading and remember to leave any comments, questions or suggestions you have below!  Happy hunting and I'll see you next post.....


These plates were purchased by me for my personal use.  For more information see my Policies

  2. Great review as always, Tamira! I'll definitely add this to my next order :) I don't have DRK rectangles or Marianne, so it shouldn't be a problem for me. If you show us what the AliExpress generic holder looks like, that would be great too.

    PS. I was so overwhelmed by the amount of unused plates you have! LOLOL

  3. Thanks babe! You will definitely not regret it they are great holders really! And yup I can create one for the Generic AE holders as well. I just wasn't sure people would be interested so I held off. Lol you'd probably die if you saw my full collection lololol. I have so many untrieds. That's why I purposely mixed them with the tried favorites in that binder I showed so I'd be more inclined to start using them all!

  6. Oh I'm glad I did it then! Honestly sometimes when I do a review I'm not sure if people will like it or not or find it useful so it makes me happy when it helps even one person :)

  7. Thank you hun! I need a few more myself, but the great thing about BM is they always have sales going on or discount codes so don't forget to keep an eye out for those.

  8. Is there a seller in the netherlands... where i can buy the holder for the rectangle plates?

    ReplyDelete
  9. You would need to contact bundle monster directly about that because I'm not certain. I do think that BM ships worldwide though.

  10. So I have plates that are extra extra
    Large 8.5" x 6... From when they first starting making the stamping plates. Do you know of any holders for those? They are my biggest pain in the butt. Chez Delany had this size in the beginning if that helps you know what I'm talking about.
