Born Pretty Stamping Plate and my first Skittlette

Born Pretty Store Review: Stamping Plate QA5

 *Press sample
Hello everyone!  Hopefully the week has been treating you well :)  Today I have a really cool stamping plate that I received from Born Pretty Store.  As you all know, Born Pretty Store is a great place to find all sorts of nail art supplies.  This is my first stamping plate from here and I was very impressed.  

This stamping plate has three themes of small images: bows, skulls, and nautical images.  It is a unique combination but I love the amount of manicures that I'm going to be able to use it for.  Today I showed my favorite part of the plate....the bows.  I look forward to using the nautical images for an upcoming trip to Cape Cod and the skulls will be really fun for Halloween.  

The exact stamping plate I used can be found here.  The item i.d. is #4868.  First up is a close-up of the stamping plate.  As you can see, it's very shiny.  If you look close, you can see me and my camera ;)


On the plate are eight bows, four large and four small, three sets of skulls and crossbones, an anchor, a ship wheel, and a set of eyes with an eyepatch.  For my skittlette I used Shimmer Jasmine on my pinky, OPI Vant to Bite My Neck? on my ring and middle ringers, and Essie In the Cab-ana on my pointer and thumb.  I then used Essie Penny Talk for my adorable bows.



Overall, I rate this product very high.  I had no trouble with the image transfer and I did test the other images on my right hand without any trouble.  My only compliant would be that the back isn't lined so the edges are a little bit sharp, not a big deal in my opinion though!  This stamping plate retails for $2.99 with free shipping and if you use my coupon code below, you get an extra 10% off!
