Born Pretty Store Mandala Square Stamping Plate Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the square mandala stamping plate S004 from BornPrettyStore. Mandalas are very popular right now. Some of them I really like, but once I have the image on the stamping plate of the full mandala, I feel like I'm not sure what to do with it. This plate is nothing but half mandalas! Let's take a look at the plate:

 This plate comes with the white and gold sleeve (which I love!)

 It comes with the standard blue protective film over the plate

And here is the plate with the film removed! I think I will finally fall in love with mandalas :)

Every image picked up perfect! I was a bit worried when I saw how fine the lines and dots were on some of the images, but I had no issues at all!

For my design, I used my gradient I created in my review of the dual-ended gradient stamper sponge head pen. You can see my review for that item here. I painted my nails with 2 coats of OPI Alpine Snow, and did a gradient with OPI Mermaid's Tears and Sinful Colors Pinks Smart. Then I painted on a thin coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust for a bit of sparkle. I topped it off with Seche Vite. Here is how the gradient looks:

I picked an image from the plate that had a bunch of tiny dots (because those tend to be harder to transfer when stamping). I stamped using Mundo de Unas black stamping polish. Once I was happy with my design, I sealed it in with a coat of Rush High Speed top coat. Here is my final look:

 

 This design turned out way better than I was picturing in my head. I absolutely LOVE it and plan on wearing it until it is no longer wearable. That is not like me at all

Overall, this plate is perfect. It takes the overwhelming feeling away from the full mandalas (at least for me), and it stamps perfect! I am very impressed with how well the fine lines and dots picked up and transferred. I am so glad I got this plate and will definitely use it a lot! And with 8 very different images, you can do so many different designs. You can find this plate on the Born Pretty Store website, here. They also have tons of other great nail art supplies.
