Nail Art & Review: BornPrettyStore Stamping Plate BP-52

Time for some floral spring nail art!

This is another stamping done with an image plate from BornPrettyStore, the one called BP-52. It consists of one huge print that is full of different floral details.
What I love about this design is that it is one big thing that is made of so many interesting little ones. You get a lot of diversity when you wear it all over your nails. The downside to this, though, is that if your nails aren't exactly big, you won't see that much per nail. I found it to be okay, but it definitely shouldn't be less.

Products used:
Manhattan - M&Buffalo Off The Socks (orange background)
BornPrettyStore - white stamping polish
BornPretty Store - image plate BP-52

What do you guys think of this design? I love how fun and detailed it is!

Nail Art & Review: BornPrettyStore Nail Polish Pen

Time for some nail art! The nail art design I am showing you here features the Nail Polish Pen from BornPrettyStore in colour #2, black.

It is a black pen with a cap, under which the tip lies. It's rather small and very pointy, a good thing for details and fine lines. You have to shake the pen really well, and then press the tip down on a piece of paper. Pump until the product comes out and covers the tip. Then you can start to draw!

The nail polish is highly pigmented and you can immediately get a clear and visible line. It's also quite simple to draw with it; it of course requires a steady hand, but it really glides over your nail.

The only tiny problem I experienced was that after some drawing, no nail polish would come out, no matter how often I pumped. But when I let it sit for a while, it worked all fine again. Maybe I was pushing it.

The colour stays very well, but keep in mind to use a top coat on it! If you don't, your design will eventually wash off.

All in all, I'm a huge fan of this nail art pen. It's way easier to handle than regular nail polish, and your possibilities with it are endless. I can definitely recommend it!

Products used for the design:

Essie - Not Just A Pretty Face (nude base colour)

BornPrettyStore Nail Art Pen #2 Black (floral details)

top coat

Nail Art & Review: BornPrettyStore Stamping Plate BP-55

As I promised, more BornPrettyStore stamping nail art coming up!

This time I used the Image Plate BP-55, which contains 3 big designs and some more smaller ones. The look I picked out is an abstract turn on different leaves and patterns. I love how detailed it is!

For a base I picked Kink by Illamasqua, which has a semi-matte finish and thus gives an interesting turn on the design.
The stamping was done in a white stamping polish also from BornPrettyStore. You can see it here in my last post on stamping.

With this design, I experienced a tiny bit of trouble when it came to stamping the look onto my nails. It turned out well, but in some cases not all parts of the design would come off the plate and therefore also didn't transfer onto my nail. But with such little lines and details, that can happen. And it didn't happen all the time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get the above results.

The image plate retails for $2,99 on the BornPrettyStore website. By using the code MS10K31 when checking out, you will get 10% off your order.

After all, I really like this design! The colour pops against the dark green background, and it makes for an exciting look!
How do you guys like it?

Nail Art & Review: BornPrettyStore Stamping Plate BP-48 & Stamping Polish

The two things I'd like to share with you guys today are nail art products from BornPrettyStore. They're always a great place to find nice and inexpensive nail art supplies.

The first product is a nail polish made for stamping. It is white and comes in a square bottle that holds 6ml. It retails for $3,99. The consistency of this nail polish is really great. It's quite liquid, but just creamy enough to have the perfect pigmentation. A great choice for nail art!

Second up, to go with the nail polish, we have a stamping image plate. It is the number BP-48 and holds 4 designs: a butterfly, detailed flowers and two patterns that they call arabesque. They are very detailed and fun to look at! You can get it online for $2,99.

Together, the nail polish and the image plate make the perfect combination. I'm really no expert at stamping, but it worked right away for me. There were no problems with the designs, they are all very crisp and clear. I love how the design turned out on my nails, especially how even though I only used one design, the nails all look individual.

By using the code MS10K31 when checking out, you will get 10% off your order from BornPrettyStore!

I'm a huge fan of the products, and am very glad to tell you that I have two more image plates laying around and waiting to be tested! Expect some more stamping nail art coming your way.

Have you tried any of these products? And what are your experiences with stamping? Let me know!
