Stamping Plate: Born Pretty Store - L047 Leaf Design

I bought this plate myself some time in 2017, time to review it.

BP-L047 is a rectangle stamping plate with 14 full nail images on, the theme for the plate is various leaves.

So this stamping plate stamps across really well, even the finer lines. Below are some nails I have done using this stamping plate.

Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2019

A England - Puck A Fairy // OPI - I'll Have A Gin and Tectonic // China Glaze - Werk It Honey! // Nails Inc - Regents Place // OPI - Do You Lilac It?

Today is officially the Spring equinox and so I thought now would be a good time to share my Spring 2019 nail polish picks. I have done this type of post before which you can see 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

A England - Puck A Fairy // OPI - I'll Have A Gin and Tectonic // China Glaze - Werk It Honey! // Nails Inc - Regents Place // OPI - Do You Lilac It?

You don't need these specific polishes, but these are the ones I reach for more during Spring. Pastel colours are mainly Spring specific, but I seem to also like a holographic pop of colour with Puck a Fairy.

A England - Puck A Fairy - A vibrant holo teal polish, great pop of colour.


OPI - I'll Have A Gin and Tectonic - A peachy nude, nice as a nail art base.


China Glaze - Werk It Honey! - Would it be a spring nail polish selection without a yellow? This one is opaque in two coats which is appreciated for a pale yellow.


Nails Inc - Regents Place - Pastel blue which leans lilac, verging on periwinkle.


OPI - Do You Lilac It? - Straight up lilac cremé polish, this one is ideal as a nail art base.
