Review: Born Pretty Store - 24 Slot Stamping Plate Holder

Review-Born-Pretty-Store-Stamping-Plate-Holder

I have numerous rectangle stamping plates and nowhere to store them, so I looked on Born Pretty Store and bought this one.

This one is made from PU and is split in to two sides, one side holds rectangle plates (8 spaces) and the other holds square plates (16 spaces).

Review-Born-Pretty-Store-Stamping-Plate-Holder

The design of this holder means that you can't double up on plates, they will fit in the plastic dividers but the holder won't zip up if you do that.

It is sturdy which is what you need from a stamping plate holder. I like the holder and most likely will be purchasing another similar one that only holds rectangle plates as I seem to be getting more of those to fit my longer nails.

If only it came in black rather than pink!

Born Pretty Store - $6.99

Nails: World Diabetes Day

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and November 14th is World Diabetes Day. I also did awareness nails last year which you can see here.

The reason behind today being World Diabetes Day is because the 14th November was Sir Fredrick Banting's birthday, the co-founder of insulin.
