Born Pretty BP-R001 is a round stamping plate with three full nail images and 11 smaller images. It comes in a cardboard sleeve, the back of the plate has Born Pretty Store branding. Also comes with a protective blue film over top.

The theme for the plate is as the name suggests based on Valentine's Day, so hearts, kisses, couples etc. The full nail designs are on the smaller side, other than the large kissing couple image.

As you can see all of the images stamped across really well, including the more delicate fine lines, such as the word 'love'.

And here are two designs I created using this plate;

Topic Tuesday: Nail Polish Resolutions 2020



- Use up bought cuticle oil, move to DIY version
While I really enjoy the one I have been using from Rainbow Connection, I have made my own and really need to try using it consistently to see if it is any good.

- Use more foils
I have some foil glue and a fair few foils but I tend to not reach for them, so 2020 may be the year to use them up!

- Low buy
As with previous years I don't plan on buying many polishes, the majority of the ones I got last year were gifted.

- Finish 12 polishes
One for every month should be achievable, last year I finished 23, so almost two a month.
