Born Pretty Store Mandala Square Stamping Plate 002 Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the square mandala stamping plate S002 from BornPrettyStore. This plate caught my eye because it has a bird in front of a large mandala. It is very unique and pretty.  Let's take a look at the plate:

 

 

 There are so many parts of this image I can't wait to use!

As always, this plate stamps beautifully. 

For my design, I decided to do a smoosh design with my stamper. I painted my nails with one coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, then I used Snow Me White, Cool Gray, and Kurtain Kall for my smoosh design. Once I was happy with that, I topped it off with one coat of Seche Vite.

This reminds me of clouds coming in, covering the blue sky :)

Next, I stamped my nails with Mundo de Unas in black. Then I sealed my design in with one coat of Rush High Speed top coat. Here is my final look:

 

 

I really like the way this turned out!!

Overall, I really like this plate and highly recommend it. It stamps perfectly, has a variety of images and sizes, and is unique. This would be a great plate to add to your collection. I can't wait to use it again. You can find this plate on the Born Pretty Store website, here. They also have tons of other great nail art supplies.

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate BP-X50 Review

In this post, I will be reviewing stamping plate BP-X50 from BornPrettyStore. I love cats! As soon as I saw this plate, I fell in love with it! Let's take a look at the plate:

Look at all those cute kitty faces!! 

Here are my test stamps on paper:

I have several different ideas running through my head with this one. I decided to try something that I wasn't sure would work. The first thing I did was paint one coat of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails. Then, I decided I was going to do a saran wrap smoosh design with 3 colors: OPI Alpine Snow, Suzi Takes the Wheel, and Sinful Colors Nirvana. My inspiration was one of my cat's chest. Here is a picture of my inspiration:

He is white, grey, and brown with black stripes

After I smooshed the 3 colors on my nails, I topped them with one coat of Seche Vite. Here is how they look at this point:

Next, I stamped using Mundo de Unas black stamping polish, and I used the design on the top right corner. I stamped my ring finger with the full design, then I stamped the rest of my fingers with some of the stripes out of the cat's face. I sealed my design in with one more coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:

I really like the way these turned out!!! Next time, I think I will fill the cat's eye in with some green sparkly polish.

Overall, I absolutely love this plate. It stamps beautifully! One thing I noticed is scraping works better with the thin, flexible Born Pretty scrapers, as opposed to a credit card or store gift card since some of the images have larger areas of stamping polish to pick up. I can't wait to use this plate again. If you love cats, or animals in general, you need to get this plate!! You can find it on the Born Pretty Store website, here.

Born Pretty Store 2 Flower Pattern Water Decals Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the 2 flower pattern water decals from BornPrettyStore. These decals caught my eye because they are black and white. They leave you with so many options! Let's take a look at these decals.

 With so many ideas in mind, I didn't know where to start first!  

For my first design, I painted Wet n Wild Clear Nail Protector (clear coat) on a sheet protector in squares and let it dry. Next, I cut out sections of the top decal and placed it on the squares of polish on the sheet protector to make my own decals. I smoothed the water decal out with a dry Q-Tip and hit it with the blow dryer for bout 30 seconds. After that, I filled in the flowers with acrylic paint. While those were drying, I painted my nails with one coat of Funky Fingers Dark Knight (my go-to black polish), and topped it off with one coat of Seche Vite. Then, I trimmed the decals to be closer to the size of my nails and placed the decals on my nails, starting by the cuticles. I cleaned the edges up with my ELF concealer brush. Once I was happy with the way they looked, I finished this look off with another coat of Seche Vite. Here is how this one turned out:

 I am so happy with the way these turned out!

For my second design, I painted two coats of Funky Fingers Gesso (my go-to white polish) and topped that off with one coat of Seche Vite. Once that was dry, I used Gesso, and Sinful Colors Pink Smart, Baby Blues, Bright Lucite, and Unicorn and did a Saran Wrap design. When I was happy with the way the colors looked, I smoothed it out with another coat of Seche Vite. (I love the way it looked. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it!!!) As soon as the top coat was completely dry, I went through the steps I used in this post to apply my water decals. I finished them off with one last coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:

These look absolutely beautiful. The colors were a bit brighter in person

This would make a great Easter or spring time manicure!!

Overall, I like these decals so much. You can fill them in with so many different color combinations, or put them over any light or medium color or combination of polishes. They are so versatile. They are so easy to use, even with long or curved nails. I would order these again in a heartbeat! You can find these decals on the BornPrettyStore website, here.
