Valentine's Day Manicure #2

I didn't plan doing any skittles manicure for this Valentine's day because I'm not having so many plates to play with like last year. :D But yesterday after small talk with Liz on Twitter I decided to make at least something like last year. :D So I checked all plates I have and this is what I came up with....

All the colors and image plates I used are in the description under the photos so I won't write them here again. I choose dotted bow and hearts, sponged glitter and lovely stripe pattern,...Of course, you can wear one pattern for a full manicure nail or skittles like me. :D I did just my left hand because I'm planning to do more manicures so today I was walking around with only one hand polished, oops. :$

Here's the final result. :$ And of course, I had to add hearts one the first pictures in CS3 again! I just love how cute they are! :L

I really can't decide what's my favorite design, because I'd wear all this patterns as full manicure for sure. <3 The pink beads I added on my middle nails started staining after applying TC so I'm wondering how do you prevent that? It happened now with pink and purple beads a while ago with different TCs. :/ But if I don't layer a TC over them, they start falling much faster...

What do you think about this skittle manicure?? :) Thanks for reading! :rainbow

Okay, another post done... Now it's time for me to play with statistics.. It's midnight and I love studying at night, because everyone including our little devil is sleeping, so I have my own peace. :D

Wanna Kiss & Born Pretty Nail Art Stamping Plate m59

I didn't expect you'll love Wanna Kiss? s much as I am. :) So when I stamped it, I's even more excited to show this mani especially when I saw you like the base color. :P

Long time ago I's contacted by Born Pretty Store to review one of their items. I saw that they're selling stamping plates so I decided to give them a try, because the patterns look like those on Konad's plates and I've some still on my WL. I got m59 to try out.

See, it looks like the copy of Konad's, but cheaper. :D Plate came with a blue sticker, so before you want to use it, be sure you'll remove it. I don't own same plate from Konad, so I compared it with m73.

They're both same size, I don't know if those patters are also same size, because I saw that their full size images are smaller than Konad's. The only difference is that m73 has Konad sign and the back of the plate doesn't have that paper which makes the edges blunt.

I tried all the patterns on paper and all worked well, so it's really a great image plate. I updated Wanna Kiss? with a dotted bow pattern from m59. I used Essence - Style me Love from TE Nails In Style for stamping, which works perfectly and I added some pink rhinestones in the center of bows. As a accent nail I tried Transfer foil set in Style me Pretty from same TE. I wasn't planning using foil, but when I ruined my ring finger I decided to give them a try and it goes perfectly with rhinestones. :D I'll probably use it again so I'll write more about them next time.

Tiny picture spam, but I'm loving this manicure so much. <3

You can get lots of stamping plates for a nice price, so I would recommend you to check their site if you're looking for new stampiny toys. You can also use code IRJ61 for 10% off on your order. ;)

So, what do you think about this mani? Do you like it? Did you already try those plates from their store? Are you satisfied with them?
