Review: Born Pretty Stamping Plate m66

Today I'm going to share with you another review I did, this time for the fauxnad stamping plate m66 I got from Born Pretty Store. 

You can get this plate at this ling for $2.99 at this link.

I was excited to try this plate and wanted to re-create a design I saw a while back ago at Picchi's Nails blog. I really loved the colors combination she used and I was even inspired to get this pretty Essence glitter for it :)

When I got the plate I was disappointed to see that the etching and the details weren't clear enough. From far it looks like it's quite good but when I looked up closely it had a lot of fine details missing. I don't know if all the plates are like this, but the one I got wasn't good quality in my opinion. I wish it was more delicate, as the original design, but instead it came out a bit chunky and unclear.

The plate came with a protective film and has no backing paper, but I don't mind that at all. I've never got a cut from plates with no backing so that didn't bother me. Plate's size is 5.5 cm in diameter.

To create this design I started with two coats of Essie She's Picture Perfect which is a violet creme with delicate pink shimmer. Then I applied on the tips a few coats of Essence It's Purplicious (old version) which is a colorful mix of small glitters in a clear base. I wanted it to looks like a glitter gradient but I don't think I did a great job there. Then I applied one coat of Poshe to smooth it out and when it dried I stamped with Essence Stamp Me! White using the m66 plate I got from Born Pretty Store.

I wasn't really happy with the result. It came out very chunky. I wish that the designs were more delicate and looked more like the original plate. I hope to get another plate like this, hopefully it will have clear and crisp design on it. I really love the designs on this plate so I think it's worth giving it another chance.
