Press Sample
Hey all! Hope you had a great weekend! I'm just catching up with the blog after taking a few days off. I'm in the middle of grading final essays and I'm behind. It happens. Ten more days and I'm all done! Woo hoo! Anyway, I have two packages from Born Pretty, so I wanted to finish up this first one before I started the second. I have two different products, so let's look at them.
Born Pretty Dip Powder with Yellow Stamping |
First, here is the dipping powder they sent. As you can see, it's sealed in a plastic wrapping. It also has a seal once you open it, and it all arrived in a sealed bag. There's no way this baby is spilling! It comes with a shadow applicator, so instead of dipping, I used it as a pigment to rub over black polish. This dipping powder is 10mL capacity. The color is Crystal Cave and it retails for $3.59.

So I did one coat of a black creme, then I added one coat of a sticky base coat. I used the eyeshadow applicator and began to rub the pigment over my nail. As you can see, it wasn't entirely smooth. I don't know if my sticky base coat wasn't sticky enough, or it was just how the pigment reacted. I did not top coat this because I find top coat messes with the color. This is a chameleon color, but the shift was really subtle.

Well then I decided to test out the yellow stamping polish. I actually already tested this on my mat and it's amazing! Well, you can see how well this polish stamps even over the darker color. I used the Spring Garden plate for the stamping below and I've just loved this plate! It's etched so well!
I love Born Pretty Stamping polishes. I always have success with them. This color is Bright Yellow Sprouts and it retails for $2.99. You can find the polish HERE. Stamping polishes need to be pigmented and look at how this yellow shows up! I matted the whole mani and it made the pigment on the bottom look awesome!
