Born Pretty Store Stamping Plates Review

 Press Sample / Purchased By Me / Gift 

Hi guys! Today I have a review of some Born Pretty Store stamping plates I was sent.

I also received a clear stamper to review, but I will save that for a future post because I couldn't make it work for me. I have been able to stamp before with regular polish, so I assumed that I'd be able to do the same with the clear stamper. After a few hours of failed attempts I contacted Cynthia from BPS and she was very helpful. She asked me about the process I used, and just went through everything with me which I greatly appreciated. We came to the conclusion that the problem might be that I was not using stamping polish. Unfortunately, I don't own any stamping polishes at the moment but I will let you know how it works when I try it with stamping polish.

So, the stamping plates each came in their own little envelope or pocket (as you can see in the picture above). Some did arrive out of their pocket, but I'm sure it happened while in transit. Luckily they did not get scratched thanks to the blue plastic that protects the plates.

So let's get to the manis shall we?

First up is this Rose Theme Stamping Plate (item #20790), it has an assortment of roses, so you can pick whichever ones you like best.

For the first mani I decided I'd do some basic stamping, plus a reverse stamp which I've never tried to do before. I picked the top middle roses, and the bottom right single rose for the reverse stamp.

Next up is this perfect for Fall Leaves Theme Stamping Plate (item #17264). If you love Fall like I do, then this plate is for you.

I really liked the reverse stamping I tried out for the first mani, so I wanted to do a whole mani using the technique. I chose the middle left image for my mani. I think it came out pretty neat with the colorful glitter crelly background.

The third one is this Birds and Feathers Theme Stamping Plate (item #20794), I just loved the feather designs it had.

So I chose to use the middle right image. It actually reminded me of The Vampire Diaries, when Bonnie shows Elena she's a witch. Lol. Anyways, I really loved how this mani turned out, it might actually be my favorite.

The fourth one is this Nail Art Theme Stamping Plate (item #17912), it has some cute images every nail polish addict will love. My favorite is the multiple polish bottles image.

For this mani I used the middle bottom and top right images.

Close-Ups:

Last but not least is this Peacock and Rose Stamping Plate (item #29541). I'm sure we can all agree that it's absolutely beautiful. Now this plate also came from Born Pretty Store, but I guess it's a Harunouta plate because that's what it said on the back. You'll notice it doesn't have the BP letters on the plate like the others.

Anyways, I'm so happy with how the stamping came out. I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to get such a crisp image because it was so detailed and I wasn't using stamping polish. But just look at it, it looks amazing!

Close-Ups:

Overall I'm very pleased with the stamping plates. They all had some beautiful images and they worked extremely well, so I definitely recommend them. Not only did I love the quality of the plates, but also the fact that Cynthia from BPS did her best to help me out when I had difficulties.
