Born Pretty Stamping Polish Review


I've tried lots of different stamping polishes over the last few years, the good, the bad and the ugly, so believe me when I say Born Pretty stamping polishes are absolutely awesome! These highly pigmented polishes come in a generous 15ml bottle, which if you're a regular stamper like me, makes these stamping polishes well worth the money. 

When I first ordered these polishes with the view to sell them in our UK online nail art store, I had it clear in my mind exactly what it was that I expected from them. I wanted a polish that left a crisp, clear image every time, a polish that was true to the colour in the bottle when stamped and they definitely had to stamp over black. 

I'm not overly effected by smells, and I've been the owner of some rather pungent stamping polishes, but as a distributor I was aware that there were stampers out there that had stopped using their particular brands for this very reason. So I did take this into consideration when road testing these beauties. And I'm happy to report that these are definitely a low odour stamping polish.

Strike A Pose


Early May has always been really busy for me, personally. Three close family birthdays within the first week of May, two of which are that of my beautiful boys who turned 2 and 11 this year; there's always been lots to plan and organise. So when I was asked to be the session tech for an editorial in shooting, I knew that the beginning of May was going to be even busier than usual, and I actually could not wait!

After nail blogger B Nailed To Perfection posted some totally awesome swatches of our We Heart Nails UK glitters, I was contacted through Instagram by stylist Lauren Rose and asked if our glitters and I would like to join the all girl team that would be heading up a super special photo shoot incorporating a pastel, holographic and iridescent theme throughout. I jumped at the chance and so began preparing for my first ever photo shoot.
