Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate BP-42 Review

In this post, I will be reviewing stamping plate BP-42 from BornPrettyStore. I love stamping, so I definitely wanted to do a review on one of their round stamping plates.

I had a few different ideas for using this plate. 

I couldn't pick just one image. 

The first thing I did was peel off the blue protective plastic with some tweezers. Then I stamped each image on a piece of paper to test the etching. There are some fine lines in a couple images, and we all know how finicky those lines can be. Here are my swatches:

Each image stamped perfectly

I ended up doing two different designs for this review. For each design, I started out with one coat of Born Pretty Store's peel off base coat. You can read my review on that item here. For my base color, I used Sinful Colors Gorgeous. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of my nails before I stamped on them. For my stamping, I used Mundo de Unas Gold, and the bottom, left image from the stamping plate. I finished everything off with one coat of Seche Vite. I really liked how the color combination turned out.

The day I did this design, it was very rainy and humid. I don't know if it was that, or that I didn't let the base coat dry long enough before I painted the first coat of color on my nails, but I have some severe bubbling on my ring and pinky fingers :(  This was my third attempt at this design, and I just wasn't having much luck (all my error though). Even with the bubbles, this design still looks very cool.

For my second design, I painted three coats of Sinful Colors Unicorn on my nails. I topped them with one coat of Seche Vite, to speed up the drying process.

Once my top coat was dry, I used Mundo de Unas White to stamp the flower image on the top left of the stamping plate. Over that, I used Mundo de Unas Pink and stamped that same image again. I finished them off with one more coat of Seche Vite. This was my first successful double stamping mani that I was actually happy with! I love these nails. They are perfect for a spring or early summer look!

Overall, this stamping plate is perfect! Every image picks up and stamps just as it should! I will use this plate over and over again!
