Hiya guys... *yawn* it's a sleepy and manicured day here. Very cloudy weather in Jersey today makes me want to curl up in bed with some hot tea. But then there is a little something called a day job. As always there is nail polish to make the whole day worth while. Yesterday was a massive nail mail day so I went from being slightly ahead of schedule to 'oh crap'. At least I'll have plenty to keep my busy during the weekend, which is when I knock out most of my nail art. For today I want to share with you another stamping plate from Born Pretty Store . I knew right away when I saw this plate that it would look amazing.Let's take a better look at the plate itself. I have been a fan of plaid patterns since my youngster high school days but could never get the pattern just right on my nails. Remember guys I tend to fail more often than I succeed with my line work. Because of that, this plate is straight out of heaven for me. For this mani, I used only one of the plaid pattern types and used Emilia by Zoya to stamp over my gradient base. I didn't even add a matte topcoat, but doesn't it look like it?The stamping plate is sold individual on the Born Pretty Store and it's plate # QA96 . This particular plate is item 15611 in their store and retails for $2.99 each. I love how these are all plaid based, but at the same time can easily be told apart from each other.Just as I did the last time, I wanted to show you guys how these looked on some paper. I used black stamping polish to show the patterns, however, as you can see some did smear. This is entirely my fault... let's just say there was a spilled polish bottle involved and leave it at that haha. But the images from this plate pick up easily and nicely for the most part. I find the pattern right in the middle of the plate to be a little strange and difficult to get a clean transfer. The main plaid ones work perfectly and, as I said before, give you nice variation.Born Pretty Store has a wide variety of stamping plates to choose from. I've reviewed another set in the past and that was plate QA79 if you're interested. If you use my codeyou'll receive 10% off your purchase and as always free shipping. Shipping will take 3-6 weeks, I cannot stress this enough. Personally, I'm completely used to shipping taking at least a month for overseas items because the deals are always worth it. It's just something to keep in mind before ordering.
