Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

I received a BPS plate the other day in the mail and I was so happy and super excited. 

I tried it out the next morning. It was late when we checked the mail :)

The plate I got is called, Cute Birds Feather Nail Art Stamping Template Image Plate

Born Pretty BP58

Product #19361

It is so beautiful. I'll have images below.

The plate itself is round and has 9 separate images on it. Including 2 full nail images.

All basically about birds lol

Nice details. Good, deep etching! Hold a good amount of polish. Stamps beautifully!

 I used 'non-stamping' polish and it still made great images. I used my XL stamper also from BPS. For my Mani (below) I used Sally Hansen Coral Reef and SinfulColors Black on Black.

Topcoat is Sally Hansen Invincible. (all over my Gel nails..)

I'll also leave a link to the plate and my discount code.

(Does not show all images :/ sorry)

Valentines Day Nail Struggle

So for Valentines Day, I wanted to do something very cute and girly with my nails.

Even though we won't be going out, I wanted to do it for myself.

But then I had to come up with a cute but simple design...

It's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

I did a couple simple ones and had my daughter help me on others. She loves picking out the colors. We also did her nails and eventually I did end up doing one I really liked.

I will list the the colors I used below all the pictures.

Here are some of my attempts at my own Valentines Day Nails:

 

 

From top to bottom...

Her nails: #ChinaGlaze- Pink Voltage (neon) and #WetnWild Mega Rocks- Always In The Pit

Light Pink Ombre with Stamps: #Ulta Snow White, #Julep Maren #WetnWild- Red Red

#BundleMonster Plates are BM-H23 and BM-H18

Candy Hearts: #OPI Mod About You, #OPI Charged Up Cherry, #SinfulColors Black On Black

#BundleMonster Plate BM-H16

Red Heart: #SinfulColors What's Your Name, #SinfulColors Snow Me White #PureIce Hit The Floor

#BornPrettyStore Plate 02

Neon Lace: #ChinaGlaze Pink Voltage (Neon), #SinfulColors Black on Black

#BundleMonster Love Stamp- BM-H16 #BornPretty Plate 02

Pink and Gold: #JulepReagan and #JulepSavoy

(The next two are the same, one has a glitter topper)

Ombre: #SallyHansen Blue-Away and Lacey Lilac with #OPI Mod About You

Glitter Topper is #SallyGirl Bikini

Purple Smoke: #SallyHansen Lacey Lilac #JulepPadma 

Pink and Silver: #JulepGlenda #SallyHansen White On #OPI Mod About You

I hope you enjoyed the Many Mani's of my Valentines Day struggle lol

Have a great weekend and Valentines Day! 

P.S. Don't forget 50 Shades Of Grey comes out in Theater this weekend!! ♥♥

(Late Post) My Birthday Nails

Original Date: October 26th

 I went through a lot of different designs for these. I started with just drawing and my own art and then I remembered I had some Birthday stamping plates from Bundle Monster! :)

I definitely wanted to use my new OPI polishes my Hubby got me for my birthday.

OPI Mod About You

 (It is my new favorite pink)

OPI Charged Up Cherry

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails No Hard Feelings

Kiss silver glitter striping polish.

I also used Snow Me White from SinfulColors.

I hand painted the cupcake on my ring finger and used some ordinary loose glitter for the frosting.

Not the best but I was happy with the results :)

LOVE, love my Bundle Monster stamping plates and my new OPI colors.

Hope you enjoy.

OH. Just in case, the stamper and scraper I used were the XL black stamper from Born Pretty Store!

P.s. Not my real nails. I used Gelish Foundation gel to make them longer and thicker.

Summer nails

I like summer. Nor as much as fall and winter, or spring for that matter, but I love the colors that go with summer.
Bright and sometimes neon nails!!
I like bright colors. I don't wear them as much cause I don't tan. I'm not against tanning, I just can't. I burn... But when I tan, I just look really red - ish brown and kinda dirty lol
I have a creamy white with pink tint skin. It's not the best for tanning but I still like the summer sun. Recently though I have had some good luck with tanning my arms, but then it looks weird compared to the rest of my body lol
So on the nails...
Here is three nail designs I did for summer so far, with the help of my daughter!!
I hope you enjoy and on Monday I'm thinking of making a small tutorial on one of them!!
Thanks for reading!

Flowers

I've really been into flowers on my nails!! All kinds but right now, those little flowers made up of dots. Super cute and easy!
I have tried many ways to do them, such as:
Bobby Pins
Sewing Pins
Pencil/Pen Tips
Toothpicks
and I even tried using a plastic fork with all but the two outside prongs off. I filed one down to make it bigger.
I use dotting tools as well but lost the one I had and wanted to experiment with other ways to make dots. I have now a new set but was still impressed with the "homemade" versions!
Back to the flowers...
I have been kind of obsessed with them and put them on my nails somehow in almost all designs!

In the previous posts, I did flowers in the jelly sandwich nails and and flowers for my 4th of July nails. As I said, I'm obsessed lol
Well here are some more of my flowers nails.
Just thought I'd show you and some of the colors I used!

The first are red nails with white and brown flowers and an accent nail on each hand of a brown base with red and white flowers.
The polishes I used were:
Sally Hansen - White On
Julep Little Lights - Jameson
SinfulColors - Nirvana
Julep - Freedom Top Coat

Looks really good on the sun!

The Second flower look was less Fall and more Summer!!

I wanted flowers but less than the look above. So I added one small flowers on all the nails in the corner and covered my accent nail with them.

The polishes I used were:

Sally Hansen - White On

Julep - Reagan

Julep - Flora

Sally Hansen Top Coat - Invincible

I'll show with and without the flowers, cause I loved them both ways! And the Julep colors!

 

Hope you liked them as much as I do! Lol

Have a great week!!!

Thanks for reading :)

Sally was a last minute stop for hair dye for my friend, and I found a Gel polish I wanted that was on sale...
FingerPaints Gel polish- Modern Motif

http://www.sallybeauty.com/gel-polish-colors/FPAINT15,default,pd.html#prefn1=brand&prefv1=FPAINT&brandLandingPage=true&start=2

And then my amazon purchases:
15 Piece Brush and Dotting Tool kit - Under $5
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A363EPO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
30 Piece Striping Tape - Under $3
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A76CPUA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Great deals and products. I do like the brushes but had to glue several of them back onto the wooden stick. That happens and no big deal. I don't usually buy such small tape but thought to give these a try and the work good.

All in all, a great haul!! :)
