Today I have some stamping to show you all! Yep, I am finally branching into the world of stamping at long last. I received this nail art stamping kit from the Born Pretty store on Friday so I thought I might as well give it a go straight away.
The Butterfly floral nail art kit comes with three little stamping polishes, a metal scrapper, a stamper and 2 stamping plates. m42 is the plate on the left and m68 is on the right. The plates are chosen at random.
I really like this stamp in particular. It very easy to work with and it stamps perfectly. I managed to smudge my middle and pinky nail with the topcoat which was a bit annoying but overall I love the design. I have used all of the stamps and they all seem to be etched quite well. The nail polish included with the kit has quite a chemically smell to it so I didn't use them indoors. You need a well ventilated room!
The Born pretty store is a perfect starter kit for stamping. It has pretty much everything you could need to start stamping and the plates have some really pretty designs.
I have a coupon code for 10% off if any of you would like to get a nice little discount off if your Born Pretty Store nail art goodies here:
Let me know what you think! More stamping or should I stick to freehand nail art? :P

This looks so good! I love your free-hand nail art, but this is really nice for an understated look (or for those of us with less co-ordination haha) I think I might pick a set up!
ReplyDeletehaha thank you :P Ah stamping is fierce handy once you get the hang of it. Plus it means you can really dress your nail up for any occasion without paying people to do it
DeleteYour nails look so pretty! I would love to do this to my own nails but i don't have enough patience. xx
ReplyDeleteawh thank you Josephine :) x
DeleteYou are very good at freehand, so you should definitely not stop doing that. But stamping is also fun, so now you can do that too if you feel like it, or combine stamping and freehand art.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, I think combining the two would be the best of both worlds.
DeleteThank you Lani! You're so nice x
I had a stamping set that a friend gave me for christmas and I lost it in my move! I need to grab another.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely get another! It's very handy to have :D
DeleteYou should do both! I haven't taken the stamping plunge yet.... Very cute design!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice Jenny!
DeleteMoar!! :D (though as much as I love your freehand art (very talented!), I do like seeing konad manis)
ReplyDeleteI really like the design chosen for this post, I love these floral prints as nail art! *sigh* but I'm just too lazy to do it more often myself.
haha I'm sure you'll get motivated. I'd love to see some of your manicures :)
DeleteVery, very pretty and doesn't look too fiddly, right up my street!
ReplyDeleteHonest to God I thought it was awkward until I tried it! Very straightforward. You just have to be quick :P
