BPS Review - Owls Water Decals BOP214

The last BPS item I will be reviewing today is the Owls Nail Art Water Decals BOP124

I love owls and those decals were just too cute to pass them by! 

There's plenty of decals on the sheet

Close-up on those cute owls OMG

The application is super easy, once your base color is dried, chose the decal you'd like to use then remove the film, cut the pattern and dip in the water for 20 seconds with the help of tweezers. 

Put the decal with the face down on the index finger. Using your thumb, lightly slide the sheet and the decal would be separated. If it is not sliding off then put it again in water for few seconds. Position it on your nail that you have already moisten. 

Don't forget to add top coat to seal everything in and keep it pretty for several days! (I have had them for 2 days and everything is still perfectly in place and shiny!)

And now the nail art because nothing shows better how cute decals are than a mani, am i right? 

I used:

Essie - Blanc

Dollish Polish - Brain Freeze

KIKO - Pearly Chocolate Noir

Catrice - The Monkey gets Funky!

Owls Nail Art Water Decals BOP124

HK Girl top coat

There really is no con for those decals, they are perfect!

BPS Review - Stamping Plate D14

We all know Aztec nails can be tricky to do, free hand, so if you're looking for an easy way out, this stamping plate is what you need! 

It came with its protective blue plastic cover and no scratches on the plate. The edges are quite sharp but not enough to cut yourself with. My first impression was that the images were very deep and well sketched. Very promising!!

Close-up of all the designs, have you seen how cute that cactus is??

I used Konad special polish in black to do the review, to make sure the polish wouldn't be faulty. 

First, I did a gradient using Catrice - Burning down the Arena and BPS Candy Color Nail Polish n°005 which you can find the review HERE, over Essie - Blanc. Then i used 4 images to make sure they were all the same quality. And let's talk quality! It's actually pretty good! On the level of Bundle Monster or GALS. It's not Moyou but it's also cheaper and those designs were just so cute and perfect for Aztec nails!

You can see there's some spots where the black is missing but i haven't stamped for a while so that is most likely on my part rather than the plate.

What about the size, you shall ask. Well it's perfect for short nails, that's for sure, but it also works for a tad longer nails, just not super long (like most regular stamping plates) My nails are quite long at the moment and it was the longest they could be for using those images.

Does the Stamping Queen recommends this plate? YES!

If you are interested in grabbing one for yourself, you can find it HERE. Don't forget to use our coupon code that BPS so nicely offered us:
