Silver stamping polish from Born Pretty Store!

Hello!
Today I have some new products to talk you about.
This new year resolution is all about improoving my stamping skills, so I am trying different products to make this process as easy as possibile.

If you’re into nail stamping, you know the struggle of finding reliable stamping nail polishes, some might work with some stampers and not with others, others works only on light shades.

In the last few months I have been trying some stamping polishes from Born Pretty Store (stamping thermal polish reviews in this post and this post) so I decided to order many others colours to test them with different plates.

I have tried 3 shades of the collection BP-WN04 Pure (the white),BP-WN03 Throne  (the black), BP-WN02 Time Fly (the silver).

They all come in a 9ml bottle with a brush applicator, all of them are very pigmented, are ideal for stamping over dark colours and only require one coat. they are all opaque and this is a plus in stamping polish because matte formulations transfer very good on the stamper.

I am positively surprised by these polishes, the first one I am going to review is the one called BP-WN02 Time Fly , it is a beautiful chrome silver, very shining and rich.

For this shade I wanted a modern and geometric design. I used this plate and this plate number BPL-027

I used a blue polish with a flakies top cat as base as I feel that's the best way to see how pigmented this shade performs.

.I'm very impressed with this silver stamping polish as it offers amazing colour payoff, it is almost like a mirror chrome!
The designs tranfer perfectly,  you can see how clean the stamped designs is, no matter how intricate the stamping plate.

Gold and black geometric nail art

Hi there,
it's a bit late for a New Years Eve nail art but I'm still in the mood for glamour and sparkles.

Some time ago Born Pretty Store came out with a new line of stamping plates and...surprise surprise with one of the most beautiful geometric plates I have ever seen!
They were so kind to send me thise plate and some others brand new items to try.

The plate is rectangular, approx 12x6 cm and it provides 20 geometric designs, some are quite big so they can fit longer and larger nails and some others (in the central part of the plate) are smaller. I think these tiny designs are meant to be overlapped or mixed with the bigger ones to create a double stamping look. The designs are engraved very well and the images easily transfer on any stamper.

Moreover these kind of geometric patterns are perfect with reverse stamping technique, you can fill in the gap with any colour you like.

I really appeciate the simple and elegant look of this plate. It reminds me of some art nouveau design or some sci-fi decorations. I tried a smooth look with the tones of gold, white, black and nude negative space. I added a couple of studs here and there. As you can see from pictures this plate offers endless possibilities and combinations.

The process of this nail art was made even easier by this fantastic tool: manicure saver cotton claw.

This is a unique device that allow you to remove polish from your nails or stamping plates without even touching the acetone soaked cotton ball.
At first sight it looks like a pen,a plastic bronze stick. You can push in the button on one end and the claw part will open to hold the cotton ball or pad in place. At this point you can soak the cotton with acetone and start cleaning with no mess for your finger nails.

I think this tool is a life saver, I really love it!
