Topic Tuesday: How Often Do You Change Your Mani?


I would say that I change up my nails less than I used to, as I did to them every day. Now I change my nails about three to four times a week.

Topic Tuesday: Favourite White Polishes


White may not be a colour I choose to wear a lot, however I still need a couple in my collection.


W7 - White (swatch)
I like this one because it's cheap and is good for nail art, it isn't one I would want to wear as is though as it takes three coats to be opaque.

Barry M - Cotton (swatch)
The opacity of this is a two coater, and isn't streaky either. Flat, wide, rounded cuticle brush shape too which is my favourite type. Definitely my go to white polish.

OPI - Alpine Snow (swatch)
This goes in the same category as the W7 White, good but not the one I prefer over Cotton.

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;
