Yellow Paisley Stamped Nails

Enter my current $50AUD gift voucher giveaway here!


Hello everyone! I've been inspired to work on perfecting my stamping lately and found an old stamping plate I had with a paisley print on it. (I'm very sorry but I can't remember which plate or number it is at the moment, I will check when I get home) I painted my nails with 2 coats of Ciate - Big Yellow Taxi (reviewed here) and then applied 1 coat of Wicked Fast. Once it was touch dry I stamped on the paisley print using my black polish I received from born pretty store. Then I finished it off with 1 more coat of Wicked Fast, trying to avoid any smudging (but not all grrr). Even though I wasn't very consistent with the thickness of my stamps or because my nail plate was too large for the design, I still think I did a really good job and I've received so many compliments. 


My goal one day is to be as good as Natalie from heartNAT..her stamping is flawless! Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice day.

Born Pretty Store Review - Stamping Plate & Polish!

Enter my current $50AUD gift voucher giveaway here!

Hey everyone! Today I have some items from born pretty store to show you. I was asked to choose two items from their website so I chose a plain black stamping polish* and a stamping plate* with Winnie the Pooh on it!! If you don't already know by now, I LOVE anything to do with Winnie the Pooh, but especially TIGGER!..anyways I decided to spruce up my previous plain mani (OPI - A Woman's Prague-Ative, see post here) with some stamping over the top! My stamping is a little rusty so forgive me!! I found using the black polish was very easy to transfer images onto the nail. Usually I struggle to even pick up polish on my stamp so having a very clear and accurate transfer was a great relief! I used various stencils to cover each finger. The stamping plate was really good and very easy to use as well making nail art very easy and very achievable! The exact plate I received is this one here and the exact black polish I used can be found here It's so cute and has heaps of different Winnie the Pooh designs on it. .it made me smile all day wearing it! 

 
Isn't he so adorable? What a cutie! Sorry the lines on my pinky aren't all straight. . I got a bit wonky when stamping haha. I really enjoyed using this stamping plate and have already used the black stamping polish for another mani which I will show you soon! Thanks for reading and have a nice day :)
