Peacock Nail Art Using BornPrettyStore Stamping Plate BP04

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a nail art that I did probably a month ago but never got a chance to share. I have always wanted to do nail art on the theme of peacocks and was ecstatic when I got this lovely plate from bornprettystore.com.

The plate is called BP-04 and has the patterns of peacocks and a beautiful dancing girl on it. There are small peacocks, a larger one and then one in XL size with a lovely background. The plate is etched out well and I was able to easily pick up the thinnest lines from the plate.

For this particular nail art I used 6 polishes and also tried the liquid palisade. I will review the Liquid Palisade in a separate post.

Polishes used for the base - Sally Hansen,  Health & Glow Buzz Blue, Sea Green, and Envy Golden Glow & Blue Berry. I stamped with Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold.

For the base I first sponged the blue polishes along with a hint of the glitter polish. Then I used the XL image to stamp just the background onto all my nails except the thumb and accent finger.

For the accent finger I stamped the large peacock head and its tail I stamped over the thumb. Then using a tooth pick I added dots of blue on the fingers to make the pattern stand out.

I really liked the outcome of this nail art and mixing the blues as the base for sponging made it stand out. If you  notice on the accent finger I have gently sponged a bit of golden on the side of the peacock as well.

Do you all remember a picture I shared on Instagram a few days back? Nobody was able to guess what it really was!

Well this is the new CICI & SISI Nail Art Special Christmas Stamping Plate. First of all let me say I loved, simply loved the packaging.

The outer envelope cover has a beautiful 'Merry Christmas And Happy New Year 2015' message written on it. When you open the envelope a stunning leather pouch comes out. This is a cover for the stamping plate. But hold your breath, this is not it. You turn over the plate and the back is just as gorgeous with the same print as the outer envelope.

I must confess this is the prettiest stamping plate I have so far.
The front side of the stamping plate has a protective blue sheet on it. You can peel it off to reveal all the lovely Christmas themed designs. There are snowflakes, Christmas trees, snow man, reindeer and at the bottom is a whole scene of Christmas images.
