Born Pretty Mat and Stamper

Press Sample

Hi ladies! 

I have a couple of products from Born Pretty Store that I received to review! But lets start with 2 items that I have been anticipating. We have their silicone mat, which is about 6x8 inches (Born Pretty Store also sells other different size silicone mats), and their metal clear stamper. 

Born Pretty Store silicone mat item #34555

Born Pretty Store metal clear stamper item #37901


Silicone Mat, item #34555 is on sale for $5.99, regular price is $10.99.
Metal clear stamper, item #37901 is on sale for @2.99, regular price is $4.70.

Lets talk about the mat! I love the size of it. It is not too big so it does not take up a lot of space. I have a small nail area so this works perfect for my table. It does come in a tube to keep it protected. Once you open it, it is wrapped in plastic, so you will have to remove it from the plastic before use. 
The mat is silicone, therefore the bottom part of the mat feels like a squishy stamper. Like if you rum your fingers through a squishy stamper… like that. So that means that it will stay in place and not move around your table. But the top of the mat is nice and smooth.

You have your nail boxes on the sides of the mat for you to do swatches, nail decals, or you can also use them as palettes for when you’re doing detailing. 

I used pure acetone to clean it up and there was no damage at all. One of my favorite things about it is that I am able to peel my decals with ease as compared to how I used to do them… (I used a plastic bag to make my decals and it was so much harder to peel them off of it).

Now, lets talk about the metal clear stamper. It is a short one, so there is not a lot to grab from. But, I think it is perfect because I don’t have to roll the stamper over the design on the plate. I just press it down and it picks up! With all my other stampers, I have to roll over the design, sometimes not picking up all of the design. SO as some of you know, it can be a little frustrating. But I think those days are over for me with this new stamper! Forgot to mention, it does come with a top to protect the stamper. To keep your stamper from getting ruined, I highly suggest to use a lint roller to clean it with instead of using acetone. 



So, what do I think of these two products? I am loving it. If you have any questions about these two items, please ask and I will do my best to answer your questions.

I made a video of these two items, if you would like to check it out, please follow the link to my Instagram account:

My Honey & My Mani

Hi Ladies!!

It has been a couple of days since I've been here!

Well, last night I posted a video (on IG) of my husband doing my mani. Yup, he did my mani.... or at least tried... he just did one hand. Thank God! LOL! That was something. I told him to pick a color and he picked his favorite, which is green... Forest green...

The idea was fun, but oh boy! what a mess... The color that he picked stained my nails and he put so much that it got under my nail...

Let me share with you the video. I sped up the video a bit but not as much as the one on IG, and the quality should be much better.


Here it is! The video would of been 3 minutes long because he took like 20 plus seconds on each nail!!

And this is the end results! What do you think?
You think he earned a tip or should i fire him?? LOL

I saw FIRE HIM! LOL... although it was fun watching his face as he worked, 
I would not let him do it again! LOL.. I'll just stick to my regular routine!

Well, I hope that you ladies enjoyed this as much as I did. I would love to see you all try to do this with your Honey. Don't forget to share with us ladies divas so we can also have a laugh... Check out my Instagram here so you can check out the original post of this adventure and so you can share the main post with all the ladies on your instagram so they can too do this! I look forward to seeing your Honey & Mani!

See ya next mani!

Xochilt.
