BPS review: #40481 Cartoon BP-X41 stamping plate

Want a fun and cute stamping plate for an adorable manicure?

This (cartoon BP-X41) plate could be just for you!

Check out my 2 mani's that I have created with this plate from

bornprettystore.com!

The etches of the stamp images are perfectly etched and

picks up nicely with the help from a soft and squishy head stamper.

I created the cute daisy, watermelon and fruit with blue birds all with black stamping polishes and the colored polishes are China Glaze and Orly.

I love how they turned out. Especially the periwinkle mani down below.

Which manicure is your favorite?

Kitty cats in galoshes bc of a rainy day..

BORN PRETTY STORE ~ review

What a busy month of August of having such a fun last time for the summer.. 

What did you all do for your entire summer?? I spent a lot of the summer time with my sons at the water parks, playground & the last week of August 2x's at the Minnesota State Fair. I now have my colorful & fun swatches & reviews for www.bornprettystore.com tonight for you all to wrap up the last fun, bright & memorable day of summer!

First up is www.bornprettystore.com 

Rose Flower stamping plate (BP-73) -item #20790

base color is: Sinful Colors Professional 'A-Crush' & Orly 'On The Edge' (gradient)

polished used to stamp with: Londontown Lakur 'Dishy Splendor'

Pink polish is not just a polish. It happens to be a wonderful UV Gel Polish from www.bornprettystore.com

(10 mL) Candy Color Luminous Soak Off Gel Polish UV Glow In The Dark (#023)

As shown above on the macro, I used a foundation UV Gel Polish to protect my natural nails by Gelish. Added 2 coats of this cute pink Gel Polish + curing time under the LED light + Gel Polish Top Coat by Gelish & LED light curing. It was a creamy Gel thouugh it does require 2 coats of it to cover up the streaky lines. Like I always say, "Top Coat always cover up the booboos! It is like magic!"

I love this pink SO much! It reminds me of my younger youthful days of always wearing PINK on my nails & even clothes! Love love LOVE this shade! You can find this Gel Polish at item #7578 at www.bornprettystore.com

stamped with @joliepolish - black stamping polish (www.instagram.com/joliepolish)

What I enjoy about stamping is the simplicity of adding TC over the stamped image to peel off + cut around it to put over your nail is so much fun.. I really enjoy this template. The deers remind me of the Fall time. & Look at that holo! It's a 2 in one shade.. It shifts from red to pink in HOLO! Yasss.. Amazin..

Gaaahhh! Those cute mini colorful beads are from www.bornprettystore.com - item #20476

They are cute but such a pain in the bum to flip on its front side to pick it up to place on my nails. It is indeed worth the look at the end though. RIGHT?! It's so sparkly too! I love the colors!

▶Swatch/Review/Nail Art: ORLYFX 'Starburst'

Here is my swatch, review and nail art is 2 coats of @orlynails #ORLYFX in 'Starburst' with Seche Vite. Color Club Halo Hue 'Beyond' & OPI 'Love.Angel.Music.Baby.' from the 2014 Gwen Stefani Collection. I have macros and a few shots of the full manicure down below.

(Though this polish is from a recent but discontinued collection by Orly from the Galaxy FX for Spring 2014 Collection, I still would like to post more about my swatch on the blog on this baby by tomorrow bc I ♡ it so much that I wanna get some extra photos of this manicure in the sunlight to capture the beautiful multi-glitters!!) ←← I lied... well, technically, I didn't lie but I just had so many ideas running through my mind on what I could possibly put over this cute nail polish! So.

I couldn't wait any longer for the sun to rise.. I painted over the base polish!! ^0^.......*-* Here is my review on 'Starburst' anyway

I honestly have been lemming over this nail lacquer since it came out! I finally gotten it on clearance at Sally's Beauty Supply Store on Monday for $3.99! I couldn't pass up on this one

'Starburst' is a white crelly base polish with three different sized glitters in red, gold & silver. With just two coats, it applied nicely but it was hard to fish out the silver circle glitters. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't grab any bc they looked so cute! I thought it'd look better if all my nails had all the multiple glitters on them. Its just too bad bc this lacquer is adorable!

Enjoy & Have A Goodnight! ,

Too many polishes = Failed manicure!

I don't know what I was doing here.. but it was definitely not a simple manicure at all! I used too many polishes to create this! LOL!  @chinaglazeofficial 'White On White' for the base, a gazillion times of sponging @orlynails 'Snow Cone" & 'It's Electric', @sally_hansen 'Pacific Blue', The Face Shop 'BL601', @wetnwildbeauty Fergie 'Mountain High', @sinfulcolorsprofessional 'Nail Junkie' & a golden striper polish 'Flower Girl'. Don't you agree now, that I've used TOO many polishes? Hahaha! You can't even see majority of them on this manicure! ^0^ I just ran out of Saran Wrap too, so this was definitely a failed mani. For me at least! Anyway, its been a long day for me so have a good night! ;) ♡
