Arabesque Stamping Plate Review from Born Pretty Store

Today I have something new and exciting to share with you all! 

I'm happy to have been given the opportunity to review some items from the Born Pretty Store. The first thing I have to share is a new stamping plate! I love stamping, there are so many fun possibilities! This is the Quirky Arabesque Plate. It's only $2.99 on their site! Isn't is awesome!?


 I used Konad Special Black stamping polish, and the whole plate stamps amazing! Look how crisp and beautiful that looks!


 I decided while stamping that this would be the perfect time to try the leadlighting technique I've been wanting to try! So I grabbed some jellies and dotting tools and got started! I used OPI- I Theodora You, Loreal- Berry Nice, and LA Colors- Aquatic. I definitely need some more jellies to try this again, but it was a lot of fun, and I love how it turned out! I can't wait to play with this plate more!



Bonus!! You can use this code: JPQX31

Don't forget to check out all the awesome things the Born Pretty Store has to offer!!

Jamberry Nails Review

I've been meaning to post this one for awhile, it's my first review and I was so excited!! I've heard of the Jamberry wraps before, but never tried them.
To apply these, you peel it off the plastic, then heat it with a blow dryer for 10-15 seconds until it gets soft and pliable, then apply it to the nail with a lot of pressure. They were easy to apply, but I realized after applying this mustache one that they're upside down! They come in one long strip, I cut it in half to do an accent nail, so on my right hand they were right side up, but this one ended up upside down.
On the rest of my nails, I used 2 coats of Calvin Klein- Bombshell.


I've heard that these last a long time, so I really wanted to see how long it would last for me. Unfortunately, by the next morning, it had lifted slightly at my cuticle and kept catching on my hair. I tried to apply more heat and pressure to get it to stay down, but it didn't work so well. I only had it on for about 3 days when I got tired of it catching on things and removed them. However, because this was my first time using them, I'm hoping I'll have better luck with the next one.
