BPS review: Chinese Style L004 stamping plate (item: #45897)


It is almost the end of March already but we are still allowed to wish everyone a Happy New Year?! lol 





Today, I have this beautiful www.bornprettystore.com stamping plate review. I loved this stamping plate so much that I just had to create two manicures!



Besides all the cuteness on this plate.. It is so easy to use. The images picked up with my stamper head just fine with my stamping polishes. 







I chose to go with the original red but with a soft white gold accent nail. On the second manicure, I went with Born Pretty Stores nude shade as my base.

BPS review: (#42518) Spring Garden L003 Stamping Plate


Spring Garden - L003 stamping plate item #42518
is a very gorgeous plate!

I won't lie, I had a tricky time picking up the images even with my new stamper heads.
I highly recommend, yet again, on investing on some very nice and sticky nail stamping polish along with a sticky clear jelly stamper.

It helped and also changed my stamping game!!

Here, I used Hello Maniology's black and white stamping polishes and their stamper.
It was such a great relief when I had finally been able to pick up the images.
The results of this stamping plate is just absolutely Gorgeous!!!! 


Hello Manilogy (Straight Up Black B171) black stamping polish brought this image to life!!
I'm in awe of how beautifully this mani turned out! I also topped it with their Smudge Free Top Coat before applying a nice QDTC to seal the look.


In case you were curious, this base polish is from Lollipop Posse Lacquer called 'Sass Those Boys Up Nasty" from December 2018's Polish Pickup.


Love love love macros to show how pretty the image is.

BPS review: (#44292-2) Flashing Vision Series BP-FV02 Summer Moon

Pink icy wonderland with this gorgeous nail polish from www.bornprettystore.com!

This nail polish is called Summer Moon from the Flashing Vision Series & it is perfect for the base of my mani bc it's icy like the cold outside.

I just love how the white faded to baby blue ombre snowflakes make this manicure stand out. 

I did, however, find the formula on the thicker and gooey side. It's opaque in 3 thin coats by force. But the after result is just stunning, at least I think so! :)


This icy pink leans on the metallic-y side or almost foil like as well.
It reminds me of my childhood polishes that I used to have in the 90's.
Oh, the nostalgia! lol


This pink nail polish can be found on their website www.bornprettystore.com  under this item #: (44292-2)

BPS review: (#44314) Christmas - L004 Stamping Plate

This is such a fun stamping plate for the holidays guys!
Layering images included but not many but it is such an adorable plate to use.

I highly recommend using a good, sticky clear jelly head stamper in order to picikup any image from not just this plate but on Every plate!

I am thrilled at how easy I had created this holiday mani.


Love how his mustard gold yellow polish from Yapa fits just right for this holiday mani!


^^ Just a tiny peek of some of the images that are on this plate.^^


I added a nice textured polish to create a more pop out look for this Christmas mani.
It's so much fun to look at.


Here's another sneak peek of this stamping plate down below shown over my next blog post!
I love this plate so much!
I highly recommend this plate because it has some stamping images that lets you layer over the other.
I find it so much more fun this way! I really hope www.bornprettystore.com will create more layer image plates!!

It's the perfect plate for am holiday mani!

The plate is perfectly sketched for an easy pickup with your stamper head.
I had no issue with this plate at all.

I think this plate is not only for the holidays. It is so versatile throughout the year!
There's a wreath thats great for the Fall time. One for the Spring time with the cute flowers too!

I'd recommend this stamping plate!

Love how easy it was to also do a reverse stamping too!
Right after I stamped with the black and caught it with my clear jelly stamper, I used some nail polsih to color in the images.

BPS review: (#42861-3) Autumn Courtyard Series (Yellow Sprouts)

What a great time to share with you all of my past 2018 holiday manicures!

This is one of my favorites that I got to do for this www.bornprettystore.com review of item: 
#42861-3.

At first, I thought this was a regular nail polish up until I had started to edit my photos for this review as well posts for instagram.. lol I realized it on the bottle as it says its an stamping polish. lol It is such a pretty bold golden yellow though, isn't it?!

It is a thinner formula for a stamping polish but as I had used it as my base for this mani. It is opaque in 4 thin coats. I found it hard to apply on my nails bc the brush was a bit wonky but for my next post.. The brush to use on the stamping plates, it is just perfectly fine.

I hope you will find yourself checking out my post for this stamping polish to see how it stamps!
It's actually pretty nice and decent for such a thin formula.
