Here I tested this stamping polish over black and white and you can see that it works over both bases, but it looks more yellowish when stamped over black. Again I used BP-L029 stamping plate.

I did a sloppy job at stamping here, but I just wanted to show you how it looks over different bases.

Here I used it also as a freehand nail art polish and because it is pigmented it worked great!

Hi!

Today I have another review post on a stamping plate from a well known Born Pretty Store. Here is a link to their nail art department where they have tons of nail art related items: stamping plates, nail decals, glitters, rhinestones, dotting tools, brushes, foils and many other items.

BP-L010 stamping plate
You can find this plate here, it costs 5,99 $, but it is currently out of stock.

This plate has :
14 all over designs (sized 2 cm x 1,4 cm) and
7 smaller designs
a plastic backing preventing cuts
super cute paper pocket for storing

 My opinion

As the Christmas plate, also this one has well engraved patterns and all the designs transfer perfectly. I really like the paper pocket for storing, and the way it looks (pretty expensive and classy). But in the end the most important for me is transfer quality and design size ( I have a lot of plates, but some of them I can only use on short nails). For these designs to be to small I have to grow my free edge for more 8 mm, which will probably never happen, this is why I can use this designs at any length =). 

The designs are something I would probably not chose ( I constantly put on lace or floral patterns), but when I played around with it, I'm really happy that I have this one in my collection, since it has some amazing designs on it. 

My favourites are: from left to right top row: 3, 4, 5 and bottom row: 1, 3 and 6. 

Here are some manicures I created with this plate

Hi!

I'm really sorry I've been missing in action lately. I will try to make it up to you my dear readers! 

Today I have another review post on water decals from a well known Born Pretty Store. Here is a link to their nail art department where they have tons of nail art related items: stamping plates, nail decals, glitters, rhinestones, dotting tools, brushes, foils and many other items. 

Pay them a visit, you won't regret it, nether will your wallet since their assortment is relatively cheap and they also offered a special coupon code (see below)!

In this post I'm going to present you BP-W26 water decals that I received from Born Pretty Store. Currently they are on sale and cost only 1.50 $!


 What do you get for that money?

-2 square decals (5,8 cm x 5,8 cm) in 2 different colour (grey and black).
-You can make 2 manicures when using decals on all of your nails or. you can get at least 10 different looks when using a decal only on accent nail. (in the first picture I used it as an accent nail and in my last manicure as nail art on all of my nails)
For that price it is definitely worth the money!

Decals are super easy to use! 
You just cut them out, remove plastic foil, put them in water and slide them off the paper. Just place the decal on the nail and use brush dipped in acetone to remove overlapping decal on your cuticle. Add top coat and you're done!


These decals are cheap and easy to use, but they do have a downside. I tried the grey decal over darker base, but the base was too dark and the pattern wasn't visible. So when using decals you should always use a lighter base colour!

Now off to manicures I created with these tribal decals:

For the first I used:
BarryM Gold foil
Essie licorice and
BP-W26 water decals



For the second manicure I used:
Essence White Hype and
BP-W26 water decals

Today I'm going to present you hehe 050 stamping plate,where it currently costs 2,99$, but with my coupon code you can get if with 15% discount for 2,54$.

                                                Here is a picture of the stamping plate:

I used BarryM Boots a Bikinni and Konad Black

I used Ciaté Ahoy Sailor and China Glaze Deviantly Daring

Hi!

Today I have another review for you! 

Here is the image plate:

You can find it here! It cost's 5,99$, but it is currently out of stock (why not, this plate is absolutely stunning and the only plate you'll need this winter)

Size:

Snowflake design: 

width:3 cm

lenght:5,4 cm

Full nail designs:

width 1,9 cm

lenght:2,2 cm

Smaller designs

aproximitely 1 cm x 1 cm

Quality:

I used it many times, but I still didn't tried all of the designs. Designs are very well engraved, because the designs transfer crisp to the nails. It is quite heavy, this gives it a high quality feel. The backing is secured with hard plastics, so no sharp edges! It comes with a pretty cardboard pocket, where it can be stored between usages. The only downside for me is that all the plates have the same pocket so if you have a lot of this plates it is harder to find the one you want, but this can easily be solved by marking the pockets =). 

Pros:

a lot of designs

well engraved- crisp image transfer

low price considering the amount of designs

no sharp edges

quality production

Cons:

This is not a real fault, but I don't like that all the pockets for storing the plates are the same (can be solved with marking the pockets)

Overall, I'm really impressed with this one. I really wasn't expecting this quality.

Here are some of examples on how to use this plate:

Another week has passed and it is time for som nail art =). This time I made some freehand on my nails.

I probably mentioned that I study Chemistry (a bit over a year ago I finished my bachelor studies, and now I'm only 5 exams away from my masters degree). Because I sometimes want to incorporate my education in my hobbies I decided to do some periodic table of elements nail art =).

For this manicure I used: 

Essence Happy Girls Are Pretty LE Pretty You! (2 coats)

Claires two way nail art pen in black

Essence the gel nail polish top coat (1 coat)
