Hey stamperistas,
Quickie post today! Born Pretty Store has released another set of nail art stamping plates from their BP Collection (these are the round plates). The last release was March 23rd literally not quite a month ago. So this release is quick. You can see these plates here. There were only ten new plates that I could find so let's take a look.
The larger mock-up. I have the individual plates below...
Cute. I wonder if they wanted to get these out for Valentines but didn't have enough time? I've seen the open hearts on one of the earlier Pet'la plates, the crosshatched hearts are cute but they are also pinging my memory (b undle monster?), dotted hearts (pueen).
I like these beehive looking bows a lot I've never seen an image like that the rest are all bows I've seen around, but then I think its hard to make "fresh" bow images. They are a basic for me like stripes.
First plate I absolutely love because I'm one of those losers that loves to play Solitiare and poker. Oh man I haven't played poker in so long. So fun! Yeah this plate is awesome. I wish they had created a queen image too!
I love stars so I love this image on the left hand side a lot. Everything here is pretty fresh!
Meh. Its ok. I bet the lower flower pattern would double well as a citrus fruit nail art.
I like the 2 upper patterns particularly the one on the left. Visually its stunning. I don't know what's happening with these fish below. I also like the crime tape. Its done in a way I have not seen before.
Pretty basic, but you could create a lot of cool nail art playing up the the simpleness of the patterns here. I like how they kept it really mixed so that you get 6 on the whole plate and these look fairly big too!
Another very basic one. This one for me though is kinda bleh. I don't know its a little too basic.
Finally we hit cool. I love wing images and trust me when I say I have a LOT of plates with them. I purposely look for them so that I can add them to my collection - wings and feathers. I like the conversation bubbles here as well. I like everything but the two silhouettes of the dandelion and bubble blowing girls only because its been done a lot. I like the plate enough that I don't care.
Sweet this is late thought right? Mothers day should be right around the corner and I don't think we will get it in time. Still I need this plate. I need it so I can somehow convince my mom to let me do her nails all mothers day cute!
So what do you think? This set is priced to move at $9.99 for the whole kit and kaboodle. In short its reasonable. The images are enough that I would get the whole set for the plates I love though you can also purchase them individually. At $10 it feels like a small treat to myself that I can totally justify. Maybe at the end of the day I'm just more of a fan of the round BP plates than the rectangular ones? I at least know the etching on the round plates was superb and despite not reviewing them the LO plates are equality high quality so you don't have to worry on that front. You can read my review here. Get your plates here. Happy hunting stamp champs and I'll see you next post....
