I wanted to quickly share this other Born Pretty Stamping plate I was kindly sent for review. I’ve become slightly obsessed with these geometric/tribal designs for nails. Firstly, they don’t need to be lined up in any particular way and secondly they are just awesome. In fact, this plate is BP-55 and is called Awesome Petal Design plate and you can check it out on the BP website here.
I used the silver metallic stamping polish also sent to me for review (we’ve seen that here as well). My previous experience of the plate and the polish holds up here again. But to be clear – the plate is well etched and comes with a clear blue film. Remove the film before use. I always clean my plates with a quick sweep of acetone on a cotton pad (make sure its a good quality one or it will shed) and then consider them ready to go.
As for the stamping, I’ve been using my Creative Stamper a lot. Its very easy to use and I find it gives great clear definition of the design when you transfer onto the nail. Always important with the more delicate designs. Do not use acetone on it or it will melt. I remove unwanted polish with a wide roll of sticky tape.
The silver stamping polish is easy to work with and doesn’t dry too quickly. This means if you have a big-ish design (like above) you can get two nails (usually my little finger and one other) done at the same time. So that knocks a couple of minutes right off there.
If you are wondering what base colour I used, I was wearing Tapage by Chanel (bought by myself), something bright and bold now that we’ve had some sunny weather. I think the silver works well over the top of this.
