I have been using these 2 plates over the last month or so but on many occasions I have used both in one mani so I decided to blog the two of them together.<br />
They are both really beautiful plates and have featured in many of my manis this summer.<br />
BBBXL-001 has 14 14 x 24 mm images including fruits, shells, flowery and leafy patterns, flamingos, seahorses and other underwater creatures.<br />
BBBXL-002 has 7 14 x 24 mm images and a selection of smaller individual images like ice-creams, drinks and seaside scenes.<br />

BBBXL-003 is all about nature - flowers, butterflies, leafy patterns and some very natural looking swirlies.<br />
There are 11 14 x 24 mm images, 1 18 x 24 mm image and a small buffet style selection about 24 x 24 mm of butterflies and a little tree.<br />
As I was quite tight for time (sadly - I would stamp all day if I could!) I did manis using 4 images at a time over a black gel base with different polishes.<br />
All the images stamped beautifully and I had no issues at all with transfer of image onto the stamper or the nail. This is a lovely plate with very usable images, either as a base for multi stamping or as main stamping images.<br />
This is the first of the 4 manis I created.<br />

BBBXL-004 is a mixture of 14 images, each 14 x 24 mm in a variety of geometric designs. These are all quite general designs so I used this plate over a series of manis where colour of base was specified but the choice of stamping was entirely free. As a result all of these have appeared on my Instagram page over the last month or so.<br />
Again I tried to vary the types of polish used to give a thorough test of the plates and used my clear stamper for all of them.<br />
<br />
2 images stamped in white over a fanbrush mani.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have used the small square plates before and found them to be excellent so I was delighted to review the larger plates.<br />
XL-005 is a lace plate. It has 14 images 14 x 24 mm and they are all lovely.<br />
Having committed to doing this review I then found myself really busy at work and struggled for free time so I was not able to do a full mani with each image but I did 3 separate manis using a combination of the images, and one full mani for a challenge using 2 of the images.<br />
I tried a mixture of polishes, some stamping polishes and some "normal" polishes that I regularly try for stamping and for most of the manis I used my clear stamper. That seemed the toughest test as the clear stamper does not not always work for me, but I had no issues whatever with pickup and transfer of images. All the images stamped really well and this is a delightful plate to add to my collection.<br />
This was the first mani using 4 of the images.<br />

This is a very pretty 3 part set which comes nicely boxed and in a lovely tin. It would make a great present for someone who has basic manicure needs.<br />
The 3 items are multicoloured / multichrome so they really are very pretty.<br />
The items in the set are a glass nail file, cuticle nippers and nail clippers.<br />
The nipper and clippers are made of stainless steel, they are sharp, precise and well made. I don't tend to use cuticle nippers much but these are perfect for catching those annoying little bits of skin down the side of your nails (that you mustn't pull because they will hurt for days!!) and good for the occasional cuticle that does need trimming. They are quite small so easy to get into awkward areas.<br />
The nail clippers are good too, nice and strong and easy to use, I am really very impressed with these 2 items and both come with a plastic cap to protect the sharp cutting edges.<br />
The glass file is good too. I often use a rougher finish to take length off my nails but a file of this grade is perfect for everyday tidying up, leaving a lovely smooth edge to your nail.<br />

There were 3 in the set I received, available <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BORN-PRETTY-Chameleon-Stamping-Manicure/dp/B0762DT5GZ/ref=sr_1_5?m=A8L49FR4CC2FK&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1522668655&sr=1-5&keywords=stamping%2Bpolish&dpID=51v%252ByknUo9L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1">here</a>.<br />
The individual polishes are BPU 01 Leo, BPU 02 Galactic Centre and BPU 03 Pink Planet.<br />
These polishes all stamped really well and I tested each of them over black and white. Although they stamped well over white they were quite subtle, the contrast over a dark base was much better and the full chrome nature of each polish was much more evident.<br />
BPU 01 Leo is a gold to green, with gold being the prominent colour, BPU 02 Galactic Centre green to blue, green being more apparent and BPU 03 Pink Planet I would say pink to gold but mostly a beautiful rose gold.<br />
I used a clear jelly stamper to test them as that seems to be the most fickle of my stampers and therefore the toughest test. I used Born Pretty plates BPL005 and BPL029.<br />
I also stamped them over the <a href="http://knittynails.blogspot.com/2018/07/born-pretty-pearl-lustre-series-nail.html">Born Pretty Pearl Lustre polishes</a> (over a black base) and that gave a nice effect.<br />
This following pictures are over white - BPU 01 Leo in the first shot and the BPU 02 and 03 Galactic Cente and Pink Planet in the second. As you can see, clear stamping but subtle.<br />

There are 5 polishes in the set. They don't have names, just a number - 01 Silver, 02 Pink, 03 Red, 04 Blue and 05 Black<br />
These are all very pretty polishes, lovely colours but not very pigmented so their use is slightly limited in terms of base colours you could use them over.<br />
I tested them over black and white. They all stamped well but the contrast is not great.<br />
All stamped nicely over white but the results were subtle and the silver barely visible. Not a problem for the coloured holos, you don't always want a full-on contrast mani and the stamping over white was pretty and delicate.<br />
They did all stamp nicely over black too but the colour was pretty much lost. The silver stamped quite clearly but the other 4 showed very little more colour than the silver. The holo was pretty and although my photos aren't great I would certainly use them again, where I wanted holo stamping and wasn't concerned about the colour pay-off.<br />
<br />
Here is the blue (04) over white, very pretty and delicate.<br />

Born Pretty (Amazon Store) sent me some products to review, and then I got really busy at work so they sat for weeks in a box, just waiting! Finally, I got a chance to have a play.<br />
The first products I am reviewing are a set of 5 iridescent polishes, available here <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mermaid-Transparent-Glimmer-Lacquer-Manicure/dp/B074P2VY9F">https://www.amazon.com/Mermaid-Transparent-Glimmer-Lacquer-Manicure/dp/B074P2VY9F</a><br />
I read some reviews by other users and it was clear these polishes are quite subtle used on their own or over a pale base. I tried them over white and could barely see a difference and in the bottle they do all look the same. However, put them over a dark base and they completely come alive!<br />
I started with a black gel base so I could swatch them and play around with them without having to reapply a base.<br />
I don't think the products are available individually but the set I received had product numbers P001, P002, P003, P004 and P005.<br />
I used one coat for each and they all applied really nicely and dried quickly. P005 was the only one that looked a bit streaky in real life. I am a bit disappointed with my photos as they all look a little streaky but in real life they all looked lovely.<br />
<br />
P001 Moonshine is a blue shimmer and I applied one coat over black for a really pretty effect.<br />

However, during the week I received a beautiful new stamping plate from my lovely friend Iva @secretjewelgarden and I had also ordered a purple neon stamping polish (because I seemed not to have purple???) - that arrived on Thursday so I used the purple neon over a mani I had already done, using the same stamping plate from Iva over my fanbrush mani.</div>
<div>
So - stamping plate : Moyra Plate 41 Florality 3, stamping polish : Hit the Bottle High Voltage Violet.</div>
<div>
The end result was perhaps not as neon as it could have been but I liked it!</div>

I wasn't feeling clever and I do have this great new plate from Clear Jelly Stamper, CJS-53 - a whole plate of dots, rings and circles - of course it was the plate to use.<br />
I started with a pretty holo base. I had just bought A England Shakespeare's Fairies collection and the lightest polish, Titiana Fairy Queen, can also be used as a topper so I tried it over a black base.<br />
I used Clear Jelly Stamper CJS-53 with Painted Polish Stamped in Taupe and basically just tried a few images. I liked it but it didn't feel very balanced across all the nails so I added a second layer of random-ish stamping with Colour Alike Kind of White. I am still getting the hand of clear jelly stamping - the angle of scrape, the scraper, the type of polish - all seem to be a bit more sensitive than conventional stamping so it is still a bit hit and miss. Pictures are also a bit rubbish, light was terrible and the photos are not at all crisp. All good as long as you don't zoom in!<br />

April is a busy month - it's year end at work, it's a mad mani month when hundreds of people seem to have birthdays and oh yeah! Me - I am going to be 50 - if I have time I need to fit in some celebrating!<br />
Anyway, I started with a base of A England Puck A Fairy, just one coat was enough for good coverage but beware, I didn't have gels on and this did stain a little, so gel base or double base coat next time.<br />
I then did my fanbrush mani with Attitude Masking Tape (most silly name ever) and Barry M Flamingo.<br />
Then I made decals on my Uber Mat with those same three colours. I tried a technique I had seen Kyong Lee do recently, and not dissimilar to the way I sometimes do my fanbrush manis but just using the polish brushes. I cut the decals into thin strips and added them to the center of each nail so the streaks were at 90 degrees to the fanbrush strokes.<br />
Finally I stamped a scribbly image from Lina Make Your Mark 02 with A England Proserpine.<br />
My son is doing GCSE art but I don't think he was really impressed with my efforts..never mind, I really liked them.<br />

I decided to go for something pretty and spring like so I chose Lina 4 Seasons - Spring 01.<br />
I started with a dusky pink (slightly purple base) of Kiko 499<br />
I used Avon Iceberg White for stamping and Kandy Colors Grape Much? for the purple jelly layers.<br />
I am never sure if the final layer should be stamping or jelly but I did stamping, jelly, stamping, jelly, stamping and left the final stamp white. The colour difference between 1 and 2 layers of jelly wasn't huge so I thought I'd just end up with a purple mess if I added another jelly layer.<br />
I took a chance on not top coating between stamping but was very careful applying the jelly layers so as not to smudge the stamping.<br />
I didn't take step by step photos but I did take each nail to a different stage and then do a photo.<br />
Finally, not part of the pond mani, I stamped a floral image from the same plate with A England Nocturne because it all seemed too bright and white. I chose a similar sized floral image and I think it worked well. I also added a matte top coat, just to see how it would look.<br />

Google was no help, so I went back to the plates and dug out Apipila Super Plate A - there is an apple image on there and I can't imagine when else I might get a chance to use it so I went for it.<br />
I am a bit of a naughty person when it comes to healthy eating of fruit and the only thing I do eat is a Granny Smith apple, but I do have one almost every day. I don't like any other kind of apple.<br />
So this turned out to be a really easy mani as I was wearing a green gel base so I used Apipila Super Plate A with Nails Inc Madison Avenue to stamp the apples.<br />
I feel like I cheated but some manis take hours so it is good to fit a quick one in occasionally!<br />

Anyway, I was quite pleased with how these turned out.<br />
I had done a St Patrick's Day mani for a collaboration, and it occurred to me it might be quite cool to add the French mani to that.<br />
For the St Patrick's Day mani I used Messy Mansion MM04XL with A England Saint George over Smitten Claddagh.<br />
Then, I sponged A England Saint George over my tips. (Sponged because I didn't trust myself to paint neatly and consistently over all nails!)<br />
Then I used used the same plate to stamp clovers with Messy Mansion Misty Jade over the dark tips. I did think this could end up being a real disaster but actually I think it worked out OK.<br />

I started with a smoosh of 4 colours, Barry M Flamingo, Kiko 385 (blue), HJ Manicure Red Wine and A England Carnation Lily Lily Rose.<br />
Then I stamped using Dixie Plates DP02 and Moonflower Turquesa. Then I added a second layer of stamping, same image, deliberately offset with Moonflower Violeta.<br />
I think to be honest they were a lot more successful than I thought they were going to be and I wore them for 2 days. I really liked the combination of colours and I am quite pleased I didn't try to go for a proper rainbow.<br />

I think that means decals, it never ends well! I do love my silicon mat but mostly it gets used for smooshes and fanbrushes. Whenever I try to make decals they are too delicate or they wrinkle badly on my silly curvy nails.<br />
I have to say, reverse stamping where I add the colour onto the stamping head has proven to be a lot more successful for me. But the prompt said use a mat so I did.<br />
I deliberately chose images that I could cut down before applying to the nail to avoid some of the creasing and these were not the biggest disaster ever, but there would have been better alternative methods.<br />
I used the new Dixie Plate Botanicals 01 and stamped with A England Camelot. I coloured in with Kiko 313 and 296 and applied the decals to a sponged base of Kiko 518, Barry M Surfboard and OPI Pink Nail Envy.<br />

Of course it was going to be knitting, it's the only thing I do in my spare time when I am not painting my nails.<br />
I used Messy Mansion MM84XL with A England Anne Boleyn over 'Ard as Nails Beauty.<br />
I have stamped with Anne Boleyn before and it stamps well but this was the first time over black and it obviously wasn't the best combo with this plate. I can see the stamping but it is subtle, great for wearing but not for photographing.<br />
I did think about trying it matte before I took it off but in the end I just re-stamped with Colour Alike Red Dragon. This gave a much better contrast and you can see the stamping!<br />
<br />
Time for a whinge now! IG interaction is so low (even if I wait a few days to see what responses I get, I have 5 day old pics appearing in my feed!) and in the Facebook group it is virtually non-existent, last weeks mani in the alternating group got no likes at all so I am unsure whether to even continue with these challenges. It's certainly not worth editing the pictures and writing a blog when time is short anyway - OK whinge over - back to the nail pics - I'll include the invisible ones for completeness, as I said, I could see the stamping, it was pretty and I wore it happily for a couple of days. The bolder version will last another day I think and then time for a change!<br />

I started with a base of a new thermal, 'Ard As Nails Umbrella which is a medium denim blue when cool and pale grey when warm.<br />
I stamped my favourite image from Dixie Plates Love 2018 - the patchwork heart image with Esmaltes da Kelly Frogger.<br />
The stamping was a bit too subtle over the blue phase, I can see it but not very clear for the camera. It was much clearer in the warm, pale grey, phase.<br />
It's very cold here so I had to sit waiting anxiously for my hands to warm up before it got too dark to take photos, oh the dilemmas of a nail painting woman!<br />
In the end I could not get a pure warm state photo, even the next day when it was a bit warmer but you get the idea, I hope!<br />

I went for non Valentine colours, bright cobalt blue over a lovely grungy fanbrush base!<br />
The base was purple, with grey and khaki green - I really liked it!! And, I thought the bright blue looked great over it. The hearts didn't print perfectly - I do have a problem with hearts (and dots) that don't stamp 100% unless I scrape in 3 different directions but I was using Colour Alike Cobalt Kick and generally Colours Alikes dry too quickly for much faffing around with the scraper. I don't mind too much, the imperfection gives them a bit of depth.<br />
I used Dixie Plates Love 2018, there are some really cute Valentinesy images on here so I must use it as much as I can this month!<br />

I used Dixie Plates Mega Mani Mix 01 and the image I chose has some finely etched areas. Possibly not the best image for the neon stamping polishes as they dried very quickly and the pickup was not perfect but the overall look was good if you don't look too close.<br />
I stamped with Colour Alike Green Light, Fuchsia Flash and Electric Orange and I tried to avoid mixing the colours.<br />
I do like a nice dark mani and I wore this one for 3 days!<br />

I have a bit of a thing for arctic foxes so I used one of my favourite Messy Mansion images to stamp white foxes over my fanbrush mani.<br />
I did the fanbrush as a gradient this week with the intention of it being some sort of sunrise or sunset.<br />
I used Messy Mansion MM34 with Avon Iceberg White.<br />
Very simple mani but I thought it was cute!<br />

Anyone who knows me will know I hate anything 3D on my nails so I googled embellishments to see if I could interpret it any other way.<br />
To my delight, the definition I found said "make (something) more attractive by the addition of decorative details or features" - see! no mention of having to stick anything on!<br />
I had just done my Friday fanbrush mani and I just received my new Big Bling Clear Jelly Stamper and a gorgeous snowflake plate, Clear Jelly Stamper CJS - C14 so I have embellished my fanbrush mani with the addition of beautiful snowflakes!<br />
The stamper worked first time, no priming needed but I still need to master the art of picking up the smaller images.<br />
My Moyou London White Knight has pretty much dried up so I stamped with Colour Alike Kind of White which is one of my favourites for good crisp white stamping.<br />
I did not do any layering as I felt it wouldn't look great over the fanbrush, not all the images on the plate are for layering (or certainly they don't have to be layered). I do love a snowflake mani, the best thing about winter!!!<br />

One of the few improvements on IG is the facility to save a post, and back in December I saw something I really loved and saved it! A stunning gold and purple snowflake mani by Manuela @manumanufatti.<br />
I started with a base of 'Ard As Nails Starlight, a stunning multichrome which goes from green through red to purple. Interestingly it looks mostly red/green indoors and the purple is only apparent outdoors.<br />
I then stamped my snowflakes with Hehe Fairytale 003 and Colour Alike Supernova. Super Nova is a gold green duochrome but it looks gold often enough to be used here I think.<br />
I have included Manuela's mani here so you can see my inspiration.<br />

It was probably inevitable that I would choose blue and I did just happen to have the gorgeous A England Katherine Parr waiting in line to be worn!<br />
One of my most exciting Christmas presents was the gift of stamping plate designed by my lovely friend Natasha Dauncey in collaboration with Clear Jelly Stamper.<br />
Natasha loves all things Moroccan, so not surprisingly the plate is a lovely combination of Moorish layering images - (the plate is CJS LC-26).<br />
My choice of stamping polish was perhaps not so Moroccan but I don't have that many chrome/metallic polishes - I chose Barry M Liquid Chrome Bright Lights and 2 True Pro Metallica Athena.<br />
I need some more practice as my layering and lining up is by no means perfect but I was really happy with the overall look of the mani.<br />
