Born Pretty Store review: Stamping plate BP-80 - Black floral pattern on purple & white gradient

Today I'm showing you the stamping plate BP-80, you can find it on Born Pretty Store website with this name: Lotus Birds Pattern Nail Art Stamp Template Image Plate BORN PRETTY BP80, item ID: 21811.

This plate has really nice lotus and birds patterns and whatever pattern you choose for your manicure you won't be wrong, you will get beautiful nail art stamping manicures! For my first manicure I used a floral pattern on purple and white gradient, I wanted to keep it simple because I liked it that way, but I have more ideas of new interesting manicures that will be made using this stamping plate :-) 

This stamping plate works perfectly, just like the other BPL series stamping plates that I have, I didn't have any problem, it's engraved deeply enough to get perfect patterns and transfer them on your nails, getting many eye-catching stamping manicures :-)

Born Pretty Store BPL stamping plates are really very good choice, I already have many of them and I highly recommend all of them! And you are welcome to use my coupon code CYL91 to get 10% off on all your Born Pretty Store orders :-) 

Here is my Black floral pattern on purple & white gradient, I hope you like it! :-)

Born Pretty Store review: Stamping plate BP-78 - Cute blue & purple flowers

Today I'm showing you the stamping plate BPL-78, you can find it on Born Pretty Store website with this name: Oriental Cherry Theme Nail Art Stamp Template Image Plate BORN PRETTY BP78, item ID: 21809.

This plate has very nice oriental designs, both small and big. For my first manicure I used simple floral pattern and I coloured the flowers blue, not the typical pink cherry blossom colour, I guess I was in the mood for some blue flowers... But, the next manicure will surely be more in oriental style and I'm very curious to see the spiral design on my nails :-)

This stamping plate works perfectly, just like the other BPL series stamping plates that I have, I didn't have any problem, it's engraved deeply enough to get perfect patterns and transfer them on your nails, getting many eye-catching nail art stamping manicures :-)

Jord Fieldcrest Zebrawood & Maple wooden watch review and the matching manicure

Attention! :-) Extremely long post, full of pictures, but on my opinion it's worth reading... and there is the matching manicure at the end too... :-)

Today I would like to present to you my new beautiful wooden watch! :-) You can find it on Jord website and it's name is Fieldcrest Zebrawood & Maple :-)

This is how people from Jord present it:
"We grew up on tree lined streets with slow driving cars, and plenty of friends to play on the pavement with. No matter the season, the weather was always perfect and the sun always went down too soon. Life is good. Life is simple. No need for the bells and whistles. Just like our Fieldcrest Series. Choose the intricate grain pattern of Zebrawood to turn your style ever so slightly to the wild side." :-)

My Fieldcrest Zebrawood & Maple watch arrived in an awesome little but consistent wooden box (...yes, I love also the box..), on a small Jord watch pillow, together with a cleaning cloth and a card to submit for warranty. 

The only thing I had to do is take it to my local jeweler that adjusted it to my wrist, but as I have a thin wrist I always have to do it whenever I buy a new watch so it was not a surprise to me. Anyway, Jord offers to size your watch for you at a reasonable price, so you can use also this possibility during your order.

You can clearly notice that this wooden watch is a high quality product. It's made by hand, using 100% natural wood that is safe for sensitive skin, and all the wooden links are perfectly smooth. I really appreciate the extreme attention to details and people from Jord surely know how to do their work! :-) There is a wooden Jord "J" branding attached to the watch and also the screw down crown has a Jord "J" on it too (stunning detail!) 
This watch has a stainless steel butterfly clasp, it is perfect for people who may have metal allergies, it is really easy to manage but gives a perfect closure. 

Jord watches are considered to be splash proof, but the excessive moisture exposure could diminish the flexibility in the bands wood links. For best cleaning results you should use lemon or orange oil extract and a soft cotton cloth.

The amazing thing for me is also the weight of the watch, it's much lighter than I expected it to be and my friends who wanted to touch it and try it noticed how easy it is to wear... Well, they didn't have enough time to test it, just few seconds, because I'm a bit jelous about my watch so I think that the best place for it is on my wrist! :-)

I love the fact that every watch is totally unique and I simply love the texture, colours and grains on MY Fieldcrest Zebrawood & Maple watch! :-)

If you like this watch you can find it here Fieldcrest Zebrawood & Maple, and for all the other watches just enjoy Jord website! :-)

Jord ships worldwide and the shipping is free! :-) 
To find all the answers to your questions check Jord FAQ.


And at the end, this is my Jord Fieldcrest Zebrawood & Maple wooden watch inspired manicure :-) 
It's made completely with acrylic colours and Kiko 3 in 1 Mat fortifying fast dry base/top coat that I used as base coat and as top coat :-) 
I hope you like the manicure too! :-)
