Topic Tuesday: Pet Polish Peeves

My main nail polish pet peeve would be polishes than need more than three coats to be opaque. Anything more than two is pushing it!

I just don't have time in my life for polishes needing four, five plus coats.

Stamping Plate: Born Pretty Store - Outer Space L002 [#46458]*

Born Pretty Outer Space L002 is a rectangle stamping plate with six full nail images and 22 smaller images. It comes in a cardboard sleeve, hard plastic backed and with a protective blue film over top.

The theme for the plate is as again as the name suggests based around space, galaxy type designs. The full nail designs are large and would cover longer length nails, 1.5cm by 2cm.

As you can see all of the images stamped across really well, including the very delicate fine lines.

And here are two designs I created using this plate;

[Pastel Space Nails]

[Holographic Moon Nails]
