Born Pretty Store stamping plate Review

Hola, señoritas!

I plead guilty today. Guilty of waiting too long to review this stamping plate, that I haven't been able to find on Born Pretty Store's site anymore. I hope it has not been discontinued, because otherwise this post makes absolutely no sense.

The plate I was sent contains a great deal of designs, mostly flowers, but you can also find some butterflies here and there. Close up of the plate:
And here's the results, stamped on a piece of paper using a very pigmented black I had at hand: 
As you can see, the designs came clean and surprisingly detailed, except one. I am positively impressed about the quality of this plate, and as the only con I'd mention the sharpness of the edges. Make sure you don't handle it with a recently painted manicure, otherwise you'll end up with little markings, no doubt. If you're as clumsy as me, that is ;) I am not willing to underestimate your abilities!

And that's just some testing I've done on my current manicure and Gosh Silver.
The latter also illustrates the fact that Essie Bahama Mama is one well behaved polish: the picture has been taken after 5 days of wear and you can only notice nail growth (I can't blame Essie for that, though) and some minor tipwear. Nothing to complain about!

Have a nice weekend! :)

    Great review btw! Though I'm almost never good at stamping (hardly practice it anyway). But those floral designs looks fab!

    1. Thank you! Stamping is soooo easy once you get the hang of it! You should give it a try, honestly you achieve such difficult things that I am 100% sure this will seem too easy!

  2. I'd love to work more with stamping plates but somehow they always end up messy so I gave up. *sigh* Thought it would be me or the polish but now they you point out the quality of a plate I think I should try a different brand.
    Thanks for the review! ^.^

    1. I am positive on this, I think the most important thing when stamping is the plate. So maybe investing in a good one, or a different brand as you say, will have evident results! :)

  3. You ended up with a really nice (and extremely romantic) mani! Is this considered also work-safe? Just curious ;-)

    1. Yup, but as I said I wasn't able to find their plates in the virtual store so... let me know if it's just me (the dumbass) or it has been discontinued!

    1. Oh no! I can't believe this! Stamping is so easy! You should give it some more try, I am sure you could do great things with it! ^^ You already freehand like a queen, so this is easy peasy!

  7. Wow, they are nice and crisp. I haven't gotten into stamping... time is the factor. Maybe I'll start with a small kit.
