[REVIEW] Born Pretty Store French Tip Nail Stamping kit!

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 Sidrah!!!! 14 Comments

Recently I got to try out nail art stamping, I've seen so many designs used by Bloggers and YouTubers so when Born Pretty Store asked me to try out one of their products I had to pick a nail stamping kit.

They came in 2 different sets.

Hello Kitty Nail Stamp Template DIY Kit

French Stamp Template DIY Kit

I picked the French Stamping Kit and I am in LOVE with these templates. Here is what you get in the package:

2 Stamping Templates

1 Rubber Stamper and 1 Scraper

Which also comes with Directions

Tips to keep in mind:

The most difficult part about stamping is finding a good polish that is opaque enough to show up on your nail. Do a one coat test on your finger, if the polish is opaque with just one coat then it's perfect for stamping!
Make sure before you start stamping to REMOVE the thin layer of plastic on the plate

Use contrasting colors for stamping, dark polish with a light nail art or vice versa
Hold the scraper at a 45 degree angle in order to only remove the excess and not all of the polish
Be very quick when you scrap and stamp! You dont want to dry out the polish
I noticed after using the scraper a few times that the template started to get really scratched up, so instead I used a plastic card which works just as well!

The quality of the products are really great to work with, just need alot of practice! So here is what I came up with! The design didn't come off very crisp because I am still getting use to stamping quickly. These are the two polishes that I used.
