For this look I started out with a radial gradient using Wet n' Wild's Megalast polish in the color I Red A Good Book and Sinful Color's Midnight Blue. Once that was dry I went in with my white polish and stamped the water marble image. 

How awesome is this stamp?!?!? I love how flawless this plate worked. My white polish is getting old so it wasn't transferring real great but I made sure it was only the white polish and not the plate by testing it out with other colors. I am looking forward to working with this plate more.

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!

OMG Nail Strips- Cartoon Cheetah Review

Hey Lovelies! Today I will be reviewing one of two nail stickers from the company OMG Nail Strips. The first set that I will be featuring today are the Cartoon Cheetah stripes which are a brilliant white with small black and gold cheetah prints. When I first saw this print I was completely turned off by them but once they were on I started to warm up and finally fell in love when I created my final look. 

I only have two problems with these nail strips and pretty much every nail strip on the market. 

1. The packages never have enough of the strips to fit the width of my nails so I always have to use at least one strip that doesn't fit my nail.

2 No matter how good I file down the strips on my nails they always look rough and ragged. 

Since the edges of my nails were looking a hot mess I decided to dress my nails up a bit and cover the hot mess up! I used one coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black to create this half moon look. 

 Yay no hot mess anymore!!! 

OMG Nail Strips offers tons of gorgeous, hip and trendy nail strips. Go check them out at...
