My first attempt wasn't that bad. Since then I can honestly say I haven't tried it again, until now. Today I have for you the MLS301 Born Pretty stamping plate from the Born Pretty Store. As you can see it's pretty much a big plate o' fun. Lightning, candy, Robbie Williams tattoos(if you know anything about his tattoos you'll get this). I decided I wanted to use the starts and put it on top of some textured polish.
I'm learning that stamping itself isn't that hard. I just need to work a bit on placement and such. But I will say one thing I noticed after using a more expensive plate vs. this was the sharpness of the image. You can tell with this plate that the sharp crisp edges were a a bit lacking. But nothing to make a fuss over. I made sure I used an old plastic card rather than a metal scraper that would scratch up the plate. Clean up was easy as pi.
Overall I'm excited about this plate and can't wait to use it again for some nail art. My next idea involves rainbows. Maybe.
If you want a plate like this head on over to the Born Pretty Store. You can find it there for $1.99 USD. And you can use our 10% discount code 'EAL91' for an even bigger discount. AND shipping is FREE!!!

What is the name of that textured polish you are wearing? It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's one coat of Finger Paints, Sparkle in the Sky over black. I'm hoping to swatch it on it's own soon :)
DeleteI am a huge fan of stars on the nails - so I obviously love this! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's it. I'm getting this plate. Why not? I got a ton of stuff in my cart already waiting for them to re-activate paypal. What's one more plate? lol
ReplyDeleteYay! And hopefully that will be soon and you can catch all the Holiday discounts :D
Deletei love this look!
ReplyDeleteI love the stamping over textured base!
ReplyDeleteYes it takes practice and using a good plate to start makes things easier. I line up the stamper at the base of my nail (after you've placed the design on it) and roll up keeping it firmly attached at the base of my nail. Does that make sense? THen you can easily line things up
