It also comes in a plastic protective wrapper, so it's definitely new.

The underside of the mat is a different texture. It's shinier and the texture allows it to adhere to the surface. It doesn't adhere permanently obviously, but it's a nice sturdy positioning so the mat doesn't move around while you're using it.

So this is 21 centimeters by 15 centimeters, which is roughly 9 inches by 6 inches, so this is very compact. It's about 1/4 the size of the normal sized mat. It's perfect for travel, or if you don't have a huge space to do your nails but still want a protective surface and a place to practice art.

Here I am practicing some stamping with some pastel colors. This is great to see how the pastel might work over a lighter color and how it would look over a darker color. It will definitely help me prevent nail art fails.

So as you can see, over the frosted mat, some of the colors are really hard to see. Over white though, and these would pop! None of these are stamping polishes, so I'm impressed!

Now over the dark. Obviously the silver works great. Most of the pastels actually worked, except the pink. So this was super helpful because I wouldn't waste my time stamping the pink (second from the top) over a dark color.

Then, when I was done, I took a cotton ball with some acetone, and ta dah! All clean and no damage to the mat!

I like the option of having a smaller and portable mat. This one is a new quality and I don't really see the difference between this mats and other mats.

What a great mat! I'm hoping a more local brand decides to do a mini mat - love supporting small business.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a smaller mat and I only know of one indie who has done a mat.
DeleteI just got one of these too, it's so handy!
ReplyDeleteYea it's perfect for when I don't need a huge mat, but I like the benefits of having both
DeleteThis is a neat way to be able to test polishes for stamping!
ReplyDeleteYes it's perfect with the black to check what works and doesn't
DeleteI love that this has black spaces to test polishes, and that it "sticks" to the surface. Sounds really nice!
ReplyDeleteThat is what definitely makes it special.
DeleteOoh I didn't even know Born Pretty did a mat, I love the whole textured bottom thing to help it stick. My current one slides everywhere x
