Born Pretty Store - BP-27 Stamping Plate Review

Hey guys,

So tonight I have my next product review from the Born Pretty Store

This time I decided to grab another stamping plate. I chose this one because of the Captain America shield and the sigil type graphic options.

Okay I've said before I SUCK at stamping. I really need to practice this. Anyways for this I decided to use the full nail flowery stamp. I used a pink holo polish to stamp over Supernatural Lacquer - Shapeshifter.

Now it's not the best but I felt like I was starting to get the hang of it by the end. Once I work more on my stamping technique hopefully I can get some better use out of this.

Born Pretty Store - Dragon Stamping Plate

Hey guys,

So tonight I have another product review from the Born Pretty Store. I was fairly stoked when they asked me to do another round of reviews for them. It gives me a really good opportunity to try some new stuff out.

This time around I thought I would go for some different types of products, so I picked up two stamping plates, some water decals, and some appliques.

First up we have this dragon stamping plate.

You guys all know I am the first person to admit that I SUCK at stamping. One day I really want to spend some time and really work on my skills. But I think patience is key in stamping and I never seem to have that.

I've never used a plate like this with one large design on it, but I love dragons so it seemed like a good one to invest in.

I used Formula X - Surreal over black.

Honestly I am quite impressed with how this turned out. I would definitely say that any imperfections are due to my own lack of stamping skills than the plate.

Born Pretty Store Stamper Review

Hey guys,

So a few weeks ago I was approached by the Born Pretty Store to review some products. I chose three products and tonight I have the first one to show you tonight. 

So a while ago I saw someone talking about these "squishy" stampers and how they work so much better than your average stampers since they are much bigger and super squishy. So I figured that would be my first choice seeing as I SUCK at stamping. I also have very few stamping plates so sorry for the lame design. I need to get some full  nail stamping plates.

The stamper also comes with a scraper.

I personally think a old credit card works better so I probably won't use this that much

So at first I could NOT get it to pick up the design at all. AT ALL. I almost gave up and wrote it off as a dud. The stamper was super sticky but would not pick up the polish. So TO THE INTERNET. I looked into reviews of the stamper and noticed one that talked about priming the stamper. Apparently I needed to scuff it up with an emery board. BOOM. problem solved.

Then we were cooking with grease!

Once primed the stamper was picking up the designs almost perfectly. I didn't like the way a single design was looking on the nails so I stamped it on each nail a couple times.

I used Konad Special White to stamp and it's over top of Kinetics - Ice Smoothie.

The streaking has nothing to do with the stamper and everything to do with  my impatience.

This will definitely be my go-to stamper from now on.

Mesh Manicure

Hey guys,

So finally things are slowing down for me, I'm done and all the Christmas parties are over so now the biggest things on my plate this week are making sure I mail out a few gifts. So here is hoping I actually remember to do that.

So a while back I saw this manicure and thought it was fantastic. Well of course when I went to go try it I didn't actually go look at the instructions so I did it wrong. You're supposed to sponge on acrylic paint, well I just used polish and that didn't work but I did come up with almost a mesh stamping method. Not perfect and my clean up is awful but I really like the way this came out.
I used Deborah Lippmann - Mermaid Dream's to stamp.
