Hello and Welcome!!

Press Sample

Today I will be showing you some new items that I received to review from Born Pretty Store.Of course I chose stamping plates and stamping polish.How could I not?Stamping is so much fun and it totally releases stress,for me anyway.If you would like to place an order anytime in the future you can use my code JEFH10 to received 10% off your entire order.

Lets take a look below.

BP-L002 Plate

The BP-L002 plate was so much fun to play with. It has 2 separate large abstract images that have so much going on in them.You can do so much with this plate to create so many unique manicures. 

For this manicure above I used 2 polishes for the base and made dots all over my nails.

I used...

• Pure Ice/Show Stopper
• Pure Ice/Free Spirit

Then I used an image from the left side of the plate(shown in photo above) using Mundo de Unas 13 orange stamping polish.Then double stamped using an image from the right side of the plate(shown in photo above),using Mundo de Unas 14 Violet stamping polish.

I was going for a tropical outcome and I think I succeeded in doing that.This mani totally surprised me.I was not expecting to like it because of the colors I used BUT it turned out looking pretty cool.

This plate is so much fun to play with. I can create so much more awesome manicures with it.The images are perfect for any nail length.(12.5 x 6.5cm)

BP-L008 PLate & BP Green Stamping Polish

With the BP-L008 plate I created something simple.This plate has 21 images for you to play around with. I used 3 images from this plate to create this mani.I did not have any issues at all with picking up the images off of this plate.It is etched perfectly.The image sizes are perfect for any nail length.(12.5 x 6.5cm)

The polishes I used was.....

• Zoya/Bevin
• Born Pretty Green Stamping polish

I used Zoya Bevin as my base.I just recently purchased Zoya Bevin .When I tried it on for the first time I was shocked.I was not expecting to like  it.I actually love it!!! I only applied one coat,the color is just so beautiful.For now on,I think I will start buying colors that I usually wouldn't wear because I will probably miss out on a lot of amazing colors if I don't.

As for the Born Pretty Stamping Green Polish. I really like it. It did not show up as green as it is in the bottle,probably because of the base I used. It stamped really well.It's not a solid green either.It's more metallic with a golden shimmer.

How to use Nail Polish Stamping Templates

Hello And Welcome!!!

I do have to apologize first off for taking so long to write this How To. I have had Strep Throat and I finally went to the doc yesterday. They gave me a Penicillin shot to the bum and gave me some meds. I do feel alot better now and I am so excited to be back. Lets get started!!!!

First off I like to get all my supplies together 

1. Scrapper/Old Credit or gift card
2. Angled brushes
3. XL Stamper
4. Stamping Template
5. Bowl of acetone
6. Old towel or paper towel
7. Stamping polish

I prefer using an old Credit card because it scrapes much more evenly then the purchased scrapers I have. I also have an XL Stamper which makes applying a full design to your nail bed so much easier and its double ended. I purchased 3 sets of XL stampers for only $5.99 on Ebay HERE.I also use the angled nail art brushes to clean up the polish around my nails. They can be purchased HERE on Amazon for only $2.10 and that is for a whole set. Its a real good deal. I also use an old Ketchup cup to pour acetone in for easier access for cleanups. As for the Stamping Template, I used one that I purchased from Vivid Lacquer HERE. I also recommend purchasing Cheeky plates, they work amazing with all sized nail beds also. You can purchase them on Amazon HERE or purchase them through Cheeky's website HERE. Now lets begin.....

First you need to apply your base color.

I decided to go with China Glaze/Purple Panic

Let that dry. I also like to apply my favorite top coat called 

G&G HK Girl it's a Super Shiny, Fast Drying Top Coat. You can purchase it HERE. It dries super fast and has a very shiny finish.

Now you want to get your plate and apply your stamping polish over the image you want. I used Konad Black stamping polish.

Grab your scrapper/Credit/Gift card and gently scrape the access polish to the side of your towel or paper towel. 

Quickly and gently press your stamper onto the image to pick it up.

Now QUICKLY apply the image to you nails starting from the very side of your nail and gently roll it on. No need to press hard. If you press hard when applying the image you could risk the image separating/ripping.

To clean the access polish off your stamper you can use a cotton ball with acetone or those sticky lint removers.

This is what the finished results will look like before you clean up. Don't worry this is completely normal.This is when your bowl of acetone and your angled nail art brushes come in to save the day. Just dip your brush in the acetone a dab it on your towel and start to clean up around your nail beds.

This is what my brushes look like. My old one on the Left. My new on the right

Your going to want to let that stamping polish dry for a bit before you apply your topcoat. Your topcoat can make it smear.

And now....The Finishing results.....

I hope you enjoyed the step by step process. Its not that bad but practice makes perfect so try and not give up. It becomes alot of fun once you get the hang. I cant wait to see your designs and I hope you share them with me as well. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Thank you for reading!!!!

Ya'll Come Back!!!
