Born Pretty Store Valentine's Day Stamping Plate BP-L001 Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the new Valentine's Day stamping plate BP-L001 from BornPrettyStore. I love hearts and flowers so this seemed like the perfect plate. Let's take a look:

These images are so pretty! I love the first two in the top row!!!

These images all stamped perfect:

 For my first design, I painted my index, middle, and pinky fingers with Ruffian Red. It was The brightest red I could find in my collection, and perfect for a Valentine's Day design. My thumb and ring fingers were painted with OPI Alpine Snow. Then I topped them all off with one coat of Seche Vite. Here is how they looked at this point:

 

Next, I used Mundo de Unas stamping polish in white (over the red nails) and reddish (over the white nails). I chose to use two different images. I used the second image in the top row, and the last image in the bottom row. After I stamped the images on my nails, I sealed my design in with one more coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:

The red's aren't a perfect match, but they are close. I really like this. I wore this design for a couple days :)

For my next design, I painted my index and pinky fingers with Born Pretty Store's Platinum Bling 

gel polish.  You can read my review of that polish here. I sealed those in with No Wipe topcoat. I painted my middle and ring fingers with Sinful Colors Candy Gram, and topped those two fingers off with Seche Vite. I made a couple decals using the heart image in the bottom row on the stamping plate, and filled in the hearts with Sinful Colors Mad About Hue, Sinful Colors Pink Smart, OPI Alpine Snow, and Ulta Nail Lacquer Deck the Halls. Once my decals were dry, I put them on my nails and sealed them in with one more coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:

I like how this one turned out. It is very bright, sparkly, and fun!

Overall, this plate is a perfect addition to any collection. It has a nice variety of different rose patterns, as well as some unique images that really stand out. Every one of these images stamped very easily with regular nail polish, and stamping with stamping polish was a breeze! As with all their plates, this plate is etched perfectly!

Born Pretty Store Chameleon Holographic Flakes Powder Laser Nail Flakies Review

In this post, I will be reviewing some Chameleon Holographic Flake Powder from BornPrettyStore. I love flakes and I love holographic nails, so I couldn't pass this one up. Let's take a look:

This pot also came with an eye shadow applicator. This powder looks like a regular holographic powder from the bottom of the pot. I couldn't wait to open it and see what it looks like:

These flakes look interesting. I am intrigued! I couldn't wait to get them on my nails!!!

Let's get started! First, I painted my nails with 2 coats of Wet n Wild Black Creme, and topped it off with Seche Vite. Once I was sure they were dry, it was time for the magic to happen. Doing one nail at a time, I painted a coat of No Wipe Top Coat and cured it. I decided to use my silicone brush instead of the eye shadow applicator. I got mine on eBay, but you can find one similar on the BornPrettyStore website, here. Mine is like style #3. I dipped the tip of the silicone brush in the flakes, and rubbed it into the No Wipe Top Coat. It took a couple nails to get the hang of it, and ended up re-doing a couple of my nails once I figured out how much powder I needed and how much to rub. Once all my nails had the powder applied, I finished them off with one more coat of gel top coat. Here is how it looks at this point:

WOW! I am in love with these powder flakes! I wish the holo would have showed up on camera a bit more, but it is definitely there and noticeable in person. I decided to stamp some tropical-looking flowers over this polish on my ring finger. I used Moyou London stamping plate Mother Nature 11, and stamped with Mundo de Unas stamping polish in Mexican Pink. I finished that nail off with one more coat of gel top coat.

 

 

Overall, this is a great powder! I love the color, I love the holo, and I love how easy it is to work with.Once you get the hang of it, these flakes are so much fun! I can't wait to use it again! If you are a holo fan, you definitely need to check out these powder flakes. They come in 6 different colors (I chose #2). You can find these flakes on the BornPrettyStore website, here.
