Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Stamping Plate was provided for review*

Hey all! I have a review of Born Pretty Store stamping plate, BP56. It's a cute plate with flower designs. I just used a few random sections of the plate to stamp. My index and pinky were stamped with Rica Pinky Promise. It worked great! The middle nails were stamped with a Color Club holo (sorry the label fell off and I don't know which one it was). This looked great in person but didn't transfer well to the photos. This plate worked really well. No issues to report at all.

Born Pretty Store has a ton of great nail art items, click here to check it out. Remember to use code FEMJ61 to save 10% on regular priced items. Thanks for stopping by today!

OPI Softshades

*Press Sample*

Hello! Today I have the six piece OPI Softshades collection for you. These are nice soft neutrals that are perfect for when you want painted nails without an in your face color. So lets jump right in.

First up is OPI Chiffon My Mind. This is hands down my favorite from the collection. This is three coats but no top coat because I put a glitter over top (you'll see that in a second). I love a good white polish and this one does not disappoint. This one will get lots of wear from me.

Next is one coat of OPI Make Light of the Situation over Chiffon My Mind. This does have top coat on it. Photographing these translucent glitters can be so tricky. They look a bit yellowish and they really aren't. I wore this mani for several days. That's how much I liked it.

Next is OPI This Silver's Mine. I used three coats (probably could have used another) and top coat. Gotta be honest here guys, frosty polishes are not my favorite.

OPI This Silver's Mine

This is OPI Petal Soft, one coat and top coat over This Silver's Mine. This is a fun glitter, soft pink and white glitters with larger flower glitters. I did have to pick those out of the bottle and place them on the nail.

Next up is OPI Put It In Neutral, three coats and top coat. This one is a tad sheer but it evened out pretty well. I could see this being a great polish for a job interview.

Last polish we have today is OPI Act Your Beige!, three coats and top coat. Again this is sheer but it's a great neutral.

So there you have it. A lovely neutral collection with just a bit of sparkle. These are available now and can be purchased in all the normal places you get OPI. Be sure to give OPI a like on facebook and check out opi.com for more information.

Thanks for stopping by!

Born Pretty Store Water Decals

*Decals provided for review*

Hey all! Tonight I have a review of some super cute, easy to use water decals from Born Pretty Store. These are like instant nail art which is great for folks like me who are nail art challenged. All you do is cut out the decal, remove the plastic covering, soak it in water for a few seconds then slide it off the backing onto your nail. Super easy! I started with Literary Lacquers Little Sleep Song and a quick dry top coat. Once it was dry I applied the decals then top coated them again. Let's take a look!

Dragon Claw Polish Rainbow Sherbet Collection

*Press Sample*

Hey everyone! I have the summer offering from Dragon Claw Polish for you today. This is the Rainbow Sherbet collection. Janet, the maker, describes these as creme neon polishes. To me they have a bit more of a jelly consistency. These are some seriously bright polishes. Now they do have a bit of learning curve to them. It helped to let them dry a bit between coats. Now let me tell you what you're going to see in each photo. The first two nails have a white base layer and two coats of the Dragon Claw polish. The next two nails are three coats of the Dragon Claw over my regular clear base coat. You can see the white really makes them pop, especially the green. That was my favorite! Mr. MLiP loved the green too.

First up is Luscious Lime. You can see that three coats leaves me with a bit of visible nail line (vnl) but check it out over that white. So bright and happy!

Next is Wonderous Watermelon. Such a great girly pink.

This is Blazing Banana. I like how this one looks over the white and on the bare nail.

Lastly we have Passionate Peach. This rounds out the collection nicely.

All in all this is a fun collection. Just remember to go slow and use a light touch. This collection will be launching May 8th at http://dragonclawpolish.storenvy.com/. Give her a like on facebook to keep up to date with all the new happenings.
