Boho chic is a fashion trend that is a mix of bohemian and chic. It is part of the vintage phenomenom in fashion where the trend was to bring back old styles for the modern era. Boho chic combines organic, colorful, detailed, folk-inspired induments with simple, modern pieces.
Sunshine and summertime activities always bring out my inner bohemian self and the love for light and whimstical pattern.
I have recently received an amazing plate from Born Pretty Store (www.bornprettystore.com). This was perfect for the look that I had in mind.
If you want to buy it you can find it at this link:

The stainless steel plate measures 6.5 x 12.5cm and have a vinyl backing for increased ease of use. Each plate comes in its own branded protective sleeve. The designs are engraved on to the image plate and covered with a protective film which needs to be removed before use.
The plate is made up by various sized designs, all representing mandalas or similar shapes, A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol. In common use, "mandala" has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents symbolically the universe.
I thought this plate was perfect for a boho-hippie look!
As you can see the desis are really thin and detailed.I used a white polish as base and different shades of polish mixed together to stamp. i only stamped half nail, on the other half I applied some shattered glass cellophane pieces.
Here is a small video to show how well the plate is engraved and how to create a gradient stamping effect mixing some colours on the plate.
