Born Pretty Store's Nail Stamping Plate BP-L003 Review

Hey Lovelies! I am so excited to show you Born Pretty Store's nail stamping plate BP-L003. This plate is loaded with 15 super amazing and fun designs. 


For this first look I started out with 3 coats of Sally Hansen's Mermaid's Tale. Once that was dry I went is with China Glaze's Flyin' High and stamped the third image from the left on the top. I absolutely love that the stamp looks like it's in a jelly sandwich!  


For the next look I did 2 coats of China Glaze's Towel Boy Toy. Then I went in with Essie's Mint Candy Apple and stamped the first image on the bottom row on the left.

Born Pretty Store's Nail Stamping Plate BP-L006 Review

Hey Lovelies! Today I will be featuring the Born Pretty Store nail stamping plate BP-L006. I love that this plate has such a great assortment of different images for all ages!   


For this first look I started with two coats of China Glaze's Something Sweet and two coats of Essie's Watermelon on my ring finger. I then went in with the opposite color and stamped my plaid design. I love this look so much but I need to practice making my lines more straight lol 


For the second look I started out with two coats of Julep's Janet and China Glaze's Foie Gras on my pinky finger. Next I went in with the opposite color and stamped the leopard print image. I think that the polish I used to stamp with was a bit to thin and that's why the image came out very light in the middle but with darker edges. 


 Even though both of these looks have errors in them they were made by me and not because of this plate. I wanted to so you guys that not ever polish works the best when stamping! I would however highly recommend this plate and cant wait to create more nail looks with it.

Purple and Blue Radial Gradient

Hey Lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend like me! I became an Aunt on Friday to the most perfect 8lb 13oz baby boy!! I can't wait to spoil him rotten! Today on the blog I have a beautiful radial gradient! My first one ever I might add :) I was so in love with the blue and purple combination that I did with my neon rainbow gradient nails the other day that I just had to use them in their own mani.   


For this look I used China Glaze's Towel Boy Toy and Sinful Colors Let's Talk. Just like a normal gradient I used a makeup sponge to create this look. Once my nails were dry I went in with Sinful Colors Black on Black and stamped Bundle Monster plate BM-618. I hope you all enjoyed this look!

Born Pretty Store's Nail Stamping Plate BP-L008 Review

Hey Lovelies! I am extremely excited to be reviewing a new stamping plate for you guys! Today's plate comes from the Born Pretty Store which is an online website where you can find anything and everything you need to have show stopping nails! Today I will be showing you two beautiful nail looks that I created with stamping plate BP-L008. So let's get this party started by letting me introduce to you plate BP-L008



For my first look I started out with two coats of Sinful Color's Black On Black for my pointer and pinky finger and two coats of OPI Nicole's Carried Away. I then went in with Black On Black and stamped the 6th image on the top row. 


For my second look I stared out with one coat of China Glaze Something Sweet. Once that was dry I went in with my makeup sponge and used the gradient technique with Something Sweet and Zoya's LARA. Finally I went in with Sinful Colors Black on Black and stamped the 1st image on the top row. 


I am so impressed with this Born Pretty Store nail plate. I love that they added the pink backing to the large plate because I feel it gives the plate a more visual appeal and I always hated when I would be handling a plate and I could feel the rough metal edges. Also I'm very impressed with how this plate is etched. Lately I have been finding that some of my plates are having a hard time transferring from the plate to my stamper. When I feel the plate it just feels smooth like there is no design etched in. With this plate I feel each and every line and curve in the image, In conclusion I HIGHLY recommend this plate!

 Make sure you swing on over to the Born Pretty Store and check out all their nail art supplies! BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE! If you order from them make sure you use this code!

Thanksgiving Day Nails

Hey Lovelies! To get into the spirit of Thanksgiving I created these subtle gold and brown nails. To achieve this look I stared out with two coats of China Glaze's Fast Track from the Hunger Games Collection. Once that was dry I went in with China Glaze's Foie Gras which is also from the Hunger Games Collection and stamped plate 13 from Pueen. To finish off the look and really get the design to pop I sealed it all in with my Seche Vite top coat. 


Now my nails are ready to shine just in time for me to run the 5 Mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with lots of food, fun and laughter!

Born Pretty Store's Item ID:5502- Black Stamping Nail Polish Review

Hey Lovelies! Today I am going to introduce to you my new nail art love! I never thought I could love a stamping polish as much as I love Born Pretty Store's ItemID: 5502 in the color black. It took me a few tries to get to know this polish and I was getting really discouraged with it until I realized that I wasn't rolling it across my nail with enough pressure. With my other stamping polishes I don't have to press down very hard to get the image to transfer, in return my images don't come out as crisp or they appear smudged. When I used this stamping polish I got clear, crisp and gorgeous image results. The only problem I have with this stamping polish is that its dry time is extremely fast so if you are new to the stamping system you will be discouraged and think the polish doesn't work.  


For this look I started off with two coats of China Glaze's Beach Cruise-R and two coats of Sally Hansen's Rockstar Pink on my pointer and pinky finger. I then went in with MASH plate 41 and stamped my middle and ring finger with stamping polish #5502.


Not only does the Born pretty store sell nail polish but also stamping plates, nail art supplies, cell phone cases, makeup, hair supplies and so much more! They also ship worldwide and it's free shipping!! If your interested in grabbing a few of these beauties for yourself swing on over to the Born pretty store and don't forget to use the coupon code JFL91 to get 10% off your entire order!!

China Glaze Pool Party + Stamping

Hey Lovelies! Let me start off with saying I'm so sorry there is so much glare on these nails! It was crazy sunny today and a horrible day to take pictures. As soon as the sun went down I went to take some new pictures and boom I had 2 chips. So with that being said I'm sorry. For today's look I started out with 3 coats of China Glaze's Pool Party from the Poolside Collection and 2 coats of Sinful Colors Black On Black on my ring finger. Once that was dry I went in with Black On Black and stamped Shany plate SH211.
