Born Pretty store stamping plate KandNail review

As promised in previous post, I have a review for you you of an item, online store Born Pretty  representative sent to me for reviewing purposes. So, I got opurtunity to choose one item they sent to me for review on my blog and I chose this stamping image plate (as you know I love konadicures and that's my speciallity).
So, this image plate has 42 different designs, this particular one has mostly french tips designs and some all over nail designs. When I was choosing item, I had very longnails and I thought I would try french tip design and show it to you, but in the meantime, I shorten my nails and now I can't actually show design on my nail.
Well, let's see the designs more up close:

Very pretty right?
Well, I did a little experiment on piece of paper, to se how the designs transfer. I chose one very simple (french tip), one little more detailed and one very detailed.
I started with basic french tip design:

In all threetries I couldn't get nice clean stamped design. I think this design is not enough deeply carved in to the plate. When you place  nail polish over image and than use scraper to remove acces polish, you scrape almost all nail polish away. You have to use very gently hand to scrape away and than you have a lot of nail polish outside the image and it's harder to stamp it. I suppose when you stamp it on nails, this smudge around is not on nail surface and it's ok.

Than I tried this design with a little more details and this one stamps perfect. I can't wait to have longers tips that I'll use this one on my nails (I'll post it)

Than I tried this very detailed lace design and with this one I also had problems. It's way too much details to transfer all of it. This one I don't like at all. 

Here are couple random ones that transfer quite all right, maybe I should have had more stady hand. I like them all.

And here is comparison in size between Bundle monster and Kand Nail images. Left is Bundle monster and you can see it's much bigger that Kand nail image is. So, if you have longer and wider nails, I think this all over nail design would be too small.

And my opinion about this plate? It's not very good knock off of Konad, but for the money (9$) it's okay. Some french tip design transfer great and some don't. All over design transfer nice but they are smaller that usuall all over nail designs, that we are used to. But I'll give them a chance to work as good as they can :-)

Review: Million styles effect topcoat SHAKE IT! FLAKE IT!

 If you are a big FLAKIES fan, you must try this topcoat out!!! I fell in love with it in store and love still countinues!!! First I did basic french manicure and let it dry.

 And then I used image plate from Konad m26 and stamped it on midle, ring finger and on my thumb, just to and a little funk to my french.

 When it was dry, I went over with flake top coat and this is how it looks like. Amazing right? Me LOVE it :-)

 It has all the colors of the rainbow in it, depends how light hits it! From yellow, orange, green, purple and blue. Just awsome!

RE-MIX Someone like you feat. new BM image plate no. 213

I started with two coats of Essence SOMEONE LIKE YOU polish from re-mix your style collection. Cream finish, deep  brown color. On pictures is a bit too light, because it's taken on direct sunlight (when there was sun still.... not like today, when I woke up in snowy morning... Never mind :-) ). Well, this color just screamed to me for some stamping design over it, because on it's own was just to plain for me....

I used Bundle monster image plate no. 213 (new line), this all over design, that are kind of abstract flowers, or some circles or something :-) How would you call it? For the design I) used China glaze HI-TEK, one of my favorite polish for stamping.

I finished it with Konad special top coat and here you can see final resoult. Like it?

Bundle monster #224 Halloween pumpkin

I started with Essence MAKES ME WEAK color as my base. It's very pretty peachy color, very appropriate for doing some design over it. First, I didn't had in my mind to do Halloween desig, but this color inspired me to do so. 

Here you can see this color on direct sunlight  and on natural daylight. It has cramy finish. My only complaint about this one is about the brush. Its very wide and not good quality, don't like it at all!

Than I choose this image plate from Bundle monster no. 224 and I went for halloween pumpkins design :-) I think it just so cute!!!

 I used black special polish from Essence for the design and I stamped it on top of my nails, so that I left tips blank. This way this design looks best, it looks like branches are coming out from my cuticles :-)

 I finished it with a coat of special topcoat from Konad and VOILA, the end resoult :-)

HAPPY HELLOWEEN!!!!

Bundle monster #212 Abstract eyes design

Today I have another stamping design for you with new set of image plates from Bundle monster. For my base color I used 1 coat Catrice's Pool party at night. I absolutely adore this color. This picture unfortunatey is not 100% accurate. This color is a mix between dark blue and purple color, with a cream finish. Super for stamping!

Than I used Bundle monster image plate no. 212, all over nail design, I saw it as bunch of eyes, but I think they are very simple peacock feathers (only tops of feathers). But let's say they are eyes :-)

 For the design I used one of my favorite polishes from China glaze Metallic muse. And this is the final look. I topped it with special topcoat from Konad, let it dry and I'm done :-)

Bundle monster #210 Diamonds design

Again, I picked up next Bundle monster image plate and it was no. 210's turn. So, first I applied two coats of JOY shade no. 322 nail polish. It is light green color. You can also see it on direct sunlight, as weel as in the shade. I reall adore this cream finish shade of green.

And for the design I used image plate no.210- diamonds all over design and for it I chose green polish from Konad. 

 I placed special topcoat over it and VOILA! This is the final design! Love it :-)

French manicure with a Bundle monster #206

 For this manicure I wen with a classic french, using two polishes I normally do- ORLY Pardonne- moi and COLOR CLUB- OOOOOOO la la.

 The I used black stampy polish from Essence, placed it over this design on Bundle monster image plate no. 206 and stamp it accross my white tips.

And this is how they look like. Ok or not?
