Hello Everyone!!!

I have yet another review from Born Pretty Store. Today I am gonna show you a very fun Animal Pattern plate and Gray Stamping Polish. The polish was supposed to arrive 3 months back but because of the custom it got delayed. Some time my country wont allow liquid shipping. But anyway I am glad it did arrive even though it took some time.

The BP- X13 plate is listed under ID code: 29986 and is available for $1.99 and the Polish #30 is listed under the ID: 27005 and is available for $4.99

The Stamping plate came with its own card sleeves for easy storage and standard blue protective film which must be removed prior to use.The plate has six full nail images which measures 1.8cm x 1.8cm. The size could be a little small if you have long nails. There are 4 individual images which can be used to create in accent nail. The full images consist of 5 different animal print plus a skull pattern and 4 individual images consist of 3 animal print (all tigers) and a sugar skull. Now if you know me, I am a sucker for skull and the sole reason I chose this plate is for those skulls.

I didn't had any problem picking up the pattern. The pattern transferred neatly in stamper at first try. I used both stamping and normal polish and both worked very well. So that means the plates are deeply etched.

The Gray stamping polish came with its own card board box for storage which I found very adorable. I have never used stamping polishes before so I really don't have any prior knowledge. But its thicker than normal polish and dries really quick. I tried this polish in several stamping plate and the result were all good.

I used this gray polish for stamping and you can see the pattern are very neatly transferred on the stamper.

For the manicure I started off with a blue base. Than I reverse stamped the sugar skull and stamped the skull pattern on middle finger. For rest of the finger I used dry brush technique using several polishes. I wanted to give it a grunge effect. The polishes that I used doesn't have any specific name but its from a company name Bloom. And its made in my own country. So what do you think? Let me know on the comment below.

Hello Everyone!!!

I have yet another Born Pretty Store Stamping plate review for today. I have two more plates to show you. so stay tuned and you can see my previous review here , here and here.

Today I will show you a fun and delicious looking stamping plate. BPS has so many Stamping plate to choose from. I chose this plate pure out of curiosity. I haven't seen much of fruit pattern plates. So this definitely got my attention.The plate is listed under the ID No 29977 and is available for $1.59

As usual the plates came up with its own cardboard sleeves and standard blue protective film which must be removed prior to use. The plate is named Fruit Pattern. So obviously it has lots of different Fruits pattern. There is Strawberry,Apples, Cherry, Oranges.Pineapple Banana and more. The plate has six full nail images which measures 1.8cm x 1.8cm and there are 8 individual fruit images which can be used to create in accent nail.

I had difficult time picking up the pattern on my stamper from this plate. I used the same technique that I used for all the stamping I have done before. I tried with black regular polish and as you can see the pattern fully arent transferred.Then I used stamping polish and the result is still the same (Grey Polish- above). I tried several pattern and had hard time picking up few of the pattern (mostly strawberry) I have used several BPS Stamping Plate and never had this problem before. I don't know if I should say that the plate isn't etched well because the big pattern transferred good enough, just the tiny ones like strawberry seeds or in this pattern the small circles. Or may be because the pattern lines are so thin my beginner skill didn't work.

I can see so many potential design from this plate but sadly I am a little disappointed.

At first I had planned to reverse stamp the strawberry pattern but it didn't work. For this manicure I started with yellow base. Then sponged tiny bit of orange randomly and stamped the mixed orange and water melon pattern (ring finger). I hope you like it. Let me know on the comment below.

Do you have problem picking up such tiny details? Do let me know.
