Every so often, I buy a stamping polish that just doesn’t show well unless over white or black. I recently picked up this medium grey from Born Pretty so thought I would share the swatches over various colours to help you choose whether it is right for you. I usually use silver over grey stamping polish […]

Born Pretty Starry Sky Stamper Review
I ordered the Starry Sky stamper as part of a Christmas set but it took forever to arrive after getting to Customs fairly quickly. You can now order these with a regular metal holder as well as the cute Christmas themed ones but they perform the same so I thought I would still review it. […]
Born Pretty Store BP-W19 Decals Over Quo Color Ampd Best Dressed
Most water decals need a white base or have a coloured base themselves. So what about putting them over coloured polishes? If you use a light colour, they can work. The colours will not be as bright as on white, but something glittery can give some oompf. I tried the top turquoise and purple design […]
Born Pretty Store Odour Free Latex Cuticle Guard
Who wants to spend money on liquid nail barrier when you can spend it on nail polish right? I recently got a bottle of Born Pretty Store’s Odor Free Latex Cuticle Guard. It is shade #9 if you want the same one, it is a light slightly lilac-y pink. At just $2.99 it is a […]
Born Pretty Store BP-W19 Water Decals Swatch & Review

Yellow and grey nails using Color Club Leaf Me Alone (Cabin Fever Collection), Born Pretty BP-115 stamping plate and grey stamping polish. I have never been in […]
Pink and Gold Tree Nails with BP-L001 & Quo Breathable Stronger Than Ever
Using the OG rectangle stamping plate from Born Pretty Store. BP-L001 has a mix of nature image plates including flowers, leaves and my fave, the tree. This image reminds me of the tree my sisters and I drew on our bedroom wall when we were kids. If you are starting out with nail stamping, this […]
Leaf Vein Nails with Avon Envy & Born Pretty Store BP-L015
After a week of red and pink nails, I decided to switch things up with a little bit of nature. I love the leaf vein stamping image from Born Pretty Store’s BP-L015 plate. It looks great with leafy colours but also just as a regular image in neutral colours. This one looks just as good […]
