Mags' BPS Review & Color Pattern Nail Art

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm reviewing a pattern stamping plate BP21 from Born Pretty Store. This plate has incredible designs, and it was hard choosing one to start with :)

The base is white, then added 3 complementary colors with the dry brush technique and finally stamped the amazing design from the BP21 plate! I absolutely adore the result!

The plate have 4 different images and they are all lovely, I can't wait to use the circles and lines on my nails. Gah it's so pretty!! This is a quality plate, nothing bad to say! You can grab it if you are looking for nice patterns. You can use the code BESG10 if you want to save some moneys (10% off).

I'm usually not too much into coral/orange but from time to time I do enjoy it. Today was one of those days :)

I'll see you next time with the final review, another stamping plate, yeah I know but they have so many great plates!

Fabs' Maniswap with Deinitisa

... and I wanted  to add unicorns (but there are no unicorns)

A good morning to everyone!

Lately, I have really been enjoying challenging myself with #ManiSwaps!

For my first official post on the blog, I thought I would share with you my maniswap with the lovely Deinitisa Amarawi on G+. She asked if I wanted to do a maniswap and I jumped at the idea. Her nail art always has a wonderful, fresh feel to it and I couldn't wait. She chose my holo chevrons with neon accent. I chose her beautiful rainbow mani dry brush stamped with black. Her mani just made me happy. :) 

The two top ones are the recreations and the originals are below.

A big thank you to the lovely and talented Deinitisa! (Check out Deinitisa's G+ post for details on her recreation of my mani.)

For my recreation of her mani. I used the following polishes:

Zoya "Sooki" 
Deborah Lippmann "Lara's Theme"
Deborah Lippmann "Dear Mr. Fantasy"
Deborah Lippmann "Weird Science" 
Color Club "Almost Famous" 
Cult Nails "All Out" 
Nubar "Pasadena Purple" 
Kiko 336 
BarryM "Guava" 
Serum No. 5 "Pure Glow Getter" (Yes, it does glow in the dark...)

Stamping plate:

MoYou Kitty Collection 02

It was so much fun to do this mani! Now, you will notice that Deinitisa chose polishes with a little glitter. I only noticed this after I was done. I know... No one has ever accused me of being overly observant. :P 

I also used the dry brush technique (here is a tutorial by The Lacquerologist). I started on my left and then did my dominant hand and because I am not used to doing dry brush, my dominant hand came out better than the left (submissive? less dominant?...) as I got more comfortable with the technique. But of course, silly me, I did not take a photo... Queue the eye rolling.

The only thing that made me a little sad was that I did not have the same stamping plate so I could not make it an exact replica, but I loved the final product anyway. :) 

Remember I mentioned that it glows in the dark? Well, it does... but I was not impressed with the effect... Am I wrong? I don't know. Just looked messy to me. Although the Serum No. 5 base "Pure Glow Getter" is just to die for!! 

(I know... I remember to take a glow in the dark picture while I am not excited about it... and I forget to take a photo of my dominant hand... Yay for me)

With that, I leave you all, wishing everyone a wonderful day.

Until next time, faithfully yours, Fabiana.
