Pick n' Mix 52 Week Challenge: 3 Different Purples, Dots

I tried to make a dotted gradient, one of the polishes went a bit odd when I was dotting it so the nails don't quite look how I hoped they would.

Stamping Plate: Born Pretty Store - BP16

 

Born Pretty Store recently came out with their own range of stamping plates, I managed to get a couple of these in a special 1p sale. Having not tried any of there plates before I was interested in seeing if they actually stamped, and they do.

These plates come with a branded backing which means the edges not sharp.

I used Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire to stamp with and as you can see I didn't have problems with any of the images other than the rock the wolf is standing on. This plate has quite a lot going on, 6 single images and 3 full nail images.

I really like the longer image, I think it will make sunset designs so much easier. Both of the zebra images are cute too.

Once I have used this plate you will be able to see all of them by clicking here.

I also have a 10% off code for the website which you can use if you want to;
