Hi guys! Today I have some Halloween stamping plates from Born Pretty Store to share with you. I have to say I'm really liking how they have been sealing the little pocket that the plate comes in, with a sticker. Also, the sticker has the name of the plate, which I think is pretty great. As always, the plates were well-etched, and I had no issue picking up images.
First up, is the Halloween-L001 Stamping Plate (item #43660). It has a ton of images that include: skeletons, ghosts, bats, candy, and even roses.
For this mani, I began with a pink base. Then, I did some reverse stamping with the candy images, using purple and green. Once dry, I stamped them onto my nails. For my ring finger, I decided to stamp on a skeleton, and then the word "boo", above the skeleton. I then applied top coat. Unfortunately, I ended up smearing some of the images, so I tried to correct that with some of the pink polish, and a last layer of top coat. I just love the accent nail on this one, that skeleton is great.

This is the Halloween-L002 Stamping Plate (item #43661). The plate images include: a skeleton couple, a variety of skeletons, pumpkins, bats, ghosts, etc.
For this mani, I began with a teal jelly glitter polish as my base. I chose to use different images for this nail art, and ended up doing some reverse stamping for some of the images. On my pointer, I stamped on a happy skeleton. On my middle nail, I stamped on a ghost and a pumpkin, as well as some stars around them. I chose to stamp a web and a spider on my ring nail, and some stars and bats on my pinky. To finish off, I applied top coat. This mani felt perfect for Trick-or-Treating, so cute and fun.

Next, is the Halloween-L003 Stamping Plate (item #43662). The plate includes images of: spiderwebs, a pair of creepy eyes, some Halloween balloons, splatters, and even some images that resemble Oogie Boogie and the hill from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I chose the spiderweb frame-looking image on the bottom-left of the stamping plate for this look. For my base, I chose to use a lime green polish. Then, I picked up the image, and filled in some of the spaces with orange and purple. I did leave some spaces blank, that way the green would show through. Once, the orange and purple were dry enough, I stamped the image onto my pointer and middle nail. For my ring finger and pinky, I decided to do a sort of french tip. I picked up the image once again, using the sides of the image this time, and filling in the spaces again with the purple and orange, not leaving any blank spaces this time around. Once ready, I stamped the image onto my nails. I really like this look.

Finally, we have the Halloween-L004 Stamping Plate (item #43663). This one features: a mummy, some pumpkins, pumpkin expressions, and much more.
For this mani, I put on a purple base. Then, I chose to do a spider mani, so I picked up the web and spider images to stamp onto my nails. Once stamped, I waited for that to dry a bit, and finished off with top coat. This mani was very simple, but it looks pretty cool.
