Stamping Plate QA27 from Born Pretty Store
Let me boast about my new stamping plates: for a while I was not buying any, but I was lucky to get some plates for review from
Born Pretty Store. And below is a sneak peek of the result I got with their help:
But let me tell a couple of words about the base colour first: this is a 1EUR (sale)
Alessandro Candy Floss Pink polish that I own for ages. Together with 2 other little Alessandros.
Alessandro Candy Floss Pink is a baby pink creme wannabe, quite whitened out and with a drop of coral. The application is everything but easy, this little b...baby makes such bald spots that you can't imagine. If you get away with 3 coats - you are lucky.
I don't think this polish is still available in stores, but it doesn't matter because I don't recommend it anyway :D The shade is interesting, but not so unique, so you can easily find a substitute. I like how it looked on my nails in the end, and it was a good base for stamping.
The duty is done - the swatches are posted, the honours are paid to the polish, now it goes to "use-them-up" bin and I move furhter to the
stamping plate. Here it is, below -
QA27, with a blue protection film on the left and ready to use on the right:
As you might know, I prefer the full nail designs over small ones. And for me the major factor is the size of the image on the plate, as I'm not willing to double-stamp, we are not in 2009 ;P In this particular case the size was not a problem at all, the image is 1.6 x 1,4 cm (for comparison: Bundle Monster (2012) is also 1,6 x 1,4 cm, Konad is 1,5 x 1,2 cm). Quite good, eh?
Even better is that this plate retails at $1.99 (!) - you can purchase it
here. For this price, the quality was superb - I had no problems with the stamping process whatsoever, I hope it is visible from my pics, even though I used a normal nail polish for stamping - Alessandro Strawberry Daiquiry.
I'm looking forward to testing the other stamping plates as well, but even now I can tell you - I'm quite inspired by the price/quality ratio.
