Creative Shop Stamping Plate review for Plate 02 feat. Beautometry!

Hello Dahlings!

Today I have my 2nd review of the NEW Creative Shop Stamping Plates!

As before, some of today's treasures were sent for honest review,

some were gifts for ordering a butt-tonne of stuff

& some things were in those butt-tonne orders.

I'll 'splain what I got & how I got it as we go, K?

 I was squeeeing all over the place while doing this hand!

 I started with 2 coats of perfection

aka F.U.N. Lacquer Unconditional Love (H)

over my usual franken base coat.

I added one coat of Orly Sec' N' Dry.

 I know F.U.N. are a wee bit on the pricy side,

but they are SO worth it!

Look at all those shifting colors, golden holo sparklies & rainbows!!!

This gorgeous polish was a gift from Beautometry.

 Today's review is of Creative Shop Stamping Plate 02

another of the plates sent for honest review from Beautometry

I used Hit the Bottle Pool Party stamping polish

& my Creative Shop Space Stamper in Black Purple Shimmer.

both bought by me

I wrote about why there's a price difference

for some of the plates Here.

I reviewed the new Space Stamper HERE.

Ready for the close up pics?

 These tiny tiny dots in circles are awesome!

They would show better if there was a stronger contrast

between Unconditional Love & Pool Party,

but the design came out perfect.

 I squeee'd so hard after I did this nail! Just look at those tiny lines!

I was so gob smacked by the perfection of this design

& how it looked on my nail, that I sent a raw pic to Beautometry.

I almost never take pics before I clean up the stray polish on my skin, 

add top coat or moisturize because while I want to be honest with y'all,

I don't want to scare you with my polish slopped cuticles or lizard skin.

 This is another of those 'advanced stamper' designs.

I either didn't move fast enough

& the polish dried too much before I got the image on my nail

or didn't press my nail far enough into the plate

& didn't get all the tiny lines around the shark shadow

to go all the way to the edge of my nail.

It's still a great design for those ocean/beach manis!

 This design had me swooning!

I usually use stencil decals for designs like this,

but they don't allow for such fine detail.

I'm seeing a reciprocal gradient using this image in my future!

Bubbles!

This design can be used for so many different nail art themes.

I did this hand right after I did last Wednesday's mani.

Yeah, I walk around with different manis on each hand a lot. LOL

The stamping went on much easier this time

as I moved faster getting the image on the stamper after scraping,

using the right amount of pressure (none) to pick up the images,

& promptly applying the image to the nail

before the polish dried too much.

I finished with a coat of Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat.

bought by me

A word on Hit the Bottle Stamping Polishes...

I use liquid latex as a mask around my nails

for quite a few nail art techniques to make clean up easier.

One of those messy techniques is stamping

& I still apply latex when using most other brands of stamping polish.

I don't have to with Hit the Bottle.

Even As Black As Night cleans up easily.

Polish crumbs stuck under tiny hang nails

& staining just haven't happened when using this brand.

I can lift most of the polish off my skin with the sticky roller

I use to clean polish off the stamper head

& the rest comes off easily with acetone & my clean up brush.

So not only does it do fantabulous job of stamping tiny details,

is opaque over any color & comes in a rainbow plus of colors...

it also cleans up easily!

You can get all of the products I've shown you today at Beautometry!

except my franken base coat cuz I make that for myself

>^. .^<

Your claws don't match my colors today,

so you aren't allowed to pet me!

Thanks for stopping by & Thanks to Beautometry

for carrying MOST EXCELLENT nail polish,

stamping plates & stamping polishes!
