Bornprettystore Nail Stamping

Today I have a bunch of manis to show you!

I was sick for a month and have been really behind on my blogging. Thankfully, I'm much better now and my energy has come back. I am back with lots of pretty pictures to share with you. 

Lots of nail stamping!

If you're into nail stamping, you've probably already heard of this brand of stamping plates. And if you haven't, you need to finish reading this post and head on over to their website to check it out. But make sure you finish reading this post. That's important.

Butterfly Dreams

One of my very good nail polish girl friends sent me some nail stamping polish prototypes to sample. She knows my love for nail stamping and wanted some honest feedback before releasing her collection this Spring. I was beyond excited to play with them!

Isn't it beautiful?!

Sunset Safari

When bornprettystore sent me this safari animal plate, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I searched for sunset safari images on Pinterest and came across the most beautiful photo and I had the perfect colors for it!

Frozen

My littlest dude is incredibly obsessed with Elsa and everything Frozen. He watches YouTube videos every day. He sings and dances while pretending to be Elsa. So, I had to create these pretty Frozen Elsa nails to show him.

Fall Floral

Floral is usually a Spring/Summer staple but with the right colors it can transition to Fall.

Black & White

I recently had a horrible experience with the Pueen Encore plates. My husband surprised me with a set back in July and I was so excited for them. People were raving about these gorgeous plates. They were beautiful; however, my images would not pick up. I thought it might be user error so I read the reviews on Amazon. It seemed like others were having the same problem. I tried all different types of scrapers, stampers, nail polishes, stamping polishes, pressure and basically everything I could think of but nothing worked. Some images would pick up bits and pieces but some wouldn't pick up anything.

Glittery Mermaid

I am in love with these right now! The extra sparkle from the glitter really pulls the look together.

Back To School Plaid

About a month ago I was chosen to be one of the few brand reps for Poppy nail polish. Poppy is an indie nail polish company dedicated to the color and health of your nails and is run by mompreneur, Tiffany Barry. Poppy nail polishes are all 5-free (meaning they do not contain dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, or camphor), cruelty-free, and they're vegan!

Loreal Neons : Acid Watermelon

Here it is - Acid Watermelon. I was most excited for this color because so many people raved about how gorgeous it is.

July 4th is perfect for barbeques, getting together with friends and family, celebrating, parades, and flag inspired nails!

Throwback to the 90s

Since today is Thursday, I decided to throw it back to the '90s. I had wanted to try the dry brush technique for a while. It resulted in a pastel paint splatter look. To spice it up, I added hot pink triangles. I thought they looked very 90s but according to my husband they look Mayan. My nails remind me a lot of the fashion from one of my personal favorite 90s shows, Saved by the Bell. Was anyone else super envious of Kelly Kapowski's clothes?

Entrancing Emerald

While looking through Pinterest, I happened upon these insanely gorgeous emerald chandelier earrings. I used them as inspiration for my mani.

Beach Nails

It's almost Summer time! If you're going to the beach, you're going to need some beach nails.

Polish for Nail Stamping

I decided to compile a list of the nail polish I have that works well for nail stamping. I will continue to add to this list as I collect more nail polish. 

Neon Tribal Flowers

This is probably my favorite mani thus far. I spent roughly 2 hours on it. I have been wanting to do tribal print for a long time but was never confident enough to do it free hand. So I found a MoYou London plate that had a tribal print and a bunch of floral prints that I could play around with for advanced stamping. 

Essie : Vices Versa

Cupcake

I'm very excited to show you all this. It is my first time doing advanced stamping. It took a few tries but I think it looks pretty cool. 

Essie : Turth or Flare

Red, Gold, and Blue

In my attempt to create nautical nails, I created 4th of July nails instead. So, this is kind of a fail.
