Born Pretty Store review: stamping plate BP-25 - Golden rose on dark blue

I got this beautiful stamping plate from Born Pretty Store. You can find it on their website with this name: Rose Queen Theme Nail Art Stamp Template Image Plate Born Pretty 25, item ID: 17202.

I like to see manicures made using stamping plates, I really admire some of them because they look like real pieces of art, but I have to admit that I do stamping manicures very rarely... Of course, to do things right you need to practice, so I couldn't expect good results without practicing.. :-) 

Tina, very charming girl from Born Pretty Store who takes care of Born Pretty Store bloggers-collaborators, was so kind to offer me some new BPS stamping plates to try :-) Maybe she wanted to "push me" a little bit and inspire me to start stamping more... and I accepted the challenge! :-) Thank you, Tina! :-)

The stamping plate that I'm showing you today is the stamping plate BP-25, one of new Born Pretty Store stamping plates. 

As you can see, the designs on it are beautiful, I like all of them :-) I like the lady dress pattern very much but my favourite is the rose pattern, from the moment I saw this plate I knew that the rose pattern was going to be the first one that I will use.. and I was right :-) 

When it comes to stamping manicures I'm just a beginner, so if you are a beginner like me maybe these instructions will be useful to you; if you are already a "pro" in stamping, you can just skip this part and scroll down to my manicure :-)

All Born Pretty Store stamping plates are protected by a thin protective film, you should remove the film before use, so that the nail polish can be transferred by the stamper :-)

Instructions:

1. apply base coat or regular nail polish on your nail, let it dry completely

2. apply nail polish to desired image on your stamping plate; you could use special stamping nail polishes, or find out which nail polishes from your collection work good for stamping

3. with a scraper leaned over 45 degrees scrape off excessive nail polish quickly from inside to outside border of your stamping plate

4. press the stamper with a gentle rolling motion to "pick up" the design, so that the image is transferred on the stamp

5. stamp the image on your nail with a gentle rolling motion, so that the image is transferred on your nail

6. apply top coat to "seal" your manicure

As you might know I love free hand nail art and I enjoy it a lot, but if you are not so good in free hand drawing or when you don't have so much free time for a complicated free hand drawing manicure, stamping plates could be a very good solution for you! :-) Of course, it needs a little bit of practice (just like every other nail art technique) but it offers many different possibilities and interesting designs! :-)

I didn't have any problem working with this stamping plate, the image transfered to my nails easily, so I think that Born Pretty Store stamping plates are a good choice, also for beginners like me :-) And, there are so many new Born Pretty Store stamping plates with so many beautiful designs that the only problem you could have is which one to choose :-)

Here is my golden rose stamping manicure, I hope you like it! :-)
