Hot Off The Stamping Press: New Loja BBF Nail Art Stamping Plates

Hey stamp champs,

I have so much win for you today!  I've been sitting on these plates quietly for the last several weeks wanting so badly to break the news of their impending release.  It's been all I could do to remain calm and not shout it from the rooftops like a mad woman - "New Loja BBF plates are coming!" And boy when you see the plates you will understand why I was so hard pressed not to share.  For those that aren't familiar Loja BBF is a Brazilian brand of indie nail art stamping plates.  This brand won over my heart months ago and has consistently kept winning with novel designs and exemplary customer service.  Not to mention the owner Cris is such a sweetheart she could give cavities! You can read the two reviews I wrote for this brand here and here.  Now enough hype let me show you what I've been hiding...

 Here we go again - Asian inspired nail art! I will never ever tire of plates like these especially ones that depict traditional scenery and motifs.  That dragon, tiger, and I have some plans if you know what I mean.  Shoot who am I kidding this entire plate and I have plans

Oh Frozen!  This plate initially set off so much frenzy in one of my nail art stamping groups and Instagram.  I wonder if it's because this movie has become such a recent cult classic? I have to report that I haven't seen this movie yet, but I'm so inspired by this plate I'm gonna rent it out from Amazon tonight and finally see what all the fuss is about.  Btw I adore adore these snowflakes and yes I am aware it's the middle of summer.

Hello evil stepmother!  As a child let me just say there has never ever been a time when I didn't love me some Disney villianess's.  Lord I was twisted even then, but I still get tingles today when I watch Ursula belt out Poor Unfortunate Souls.  What a diva lol.  This plate is so adorable even though snow white isn't my favorite Disney Princess.  By the by can you guess who is?

Will I ever tire of lace and floral motifs? The answer of course is NO. Not ever in 1 million years. Keep presenting it to me and I will keep finding ways to make it come alive.  This plate has leadlight technique written all over it right?

Having recently taken one of the prior abstract BBF plates out for a spin when I was playing with my Rica polishes I'm very happy to see another so soon!  That Fleur de Lis manicure I did ended up being so popular and I got a ton of compliments IRL as well.

Wild things you make everything groovy.   I actually really love big cats.  When I was about 5 or so I started obsessing endlessly about Tigers and Ligers.  I wanted to know everything about their biology, ecology, etc.  Fun fact did you know the papillae on the tongue of an adult big cat has enough grit that one lick can remove the superficial dermis from your skin? Crazy right! Yup I love this plate ;)

This plate is for every dog lover out there.  Look at all the different breeds she packed into one plate.  I think this is so adorable!

We have established that I love abstracts! The image on the upper left hand corner reminds me of a kaleidoscope, and the one right beneath it just makes my heart pound.  Lol.

What do you think? There was a lot of novelty and heart-stopping beauty packed into this release huh? These plates will be available from Loja BBF this coming Sunday.  The plates retail for $7.50 USD + $10 shipping to the US.  Cris has plans to open a store envy site for here US based customers and I'll update you on when that will be ready to go.  For now you can shoot her a message via Facebook or email her at lojabbf at gmail dot com with enquiries about purchase outside of Brazil. I should have a review of these plates and the last 5 or 6 in the series coming shortly. Thanks for reading and I'll see you next post...
