Tie Dye Paisley Nails.

I really love today's manicure! I used the same technique I used for this design, but this time with pastels. And I like the results even better than I did last time. The pastels create a really soft and pretty tie dye effect. 

I painted all of my nails with Milani White on the Spot as a base to create the tie dye over. Then the pastel polishes I used were Orly Pixy Stix, Orly Spark, American Apparel Office, OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender, and Revlon Blue Lagoon.

The perfect finishing touch to complement my tie dyed nails was stamping with the Born Pretty Store M64 plate (reviewed here.) I stamped with Konad Special black polish.

I'll have to come up with more designs I can use the watercolor technique for because I'm really loving it at the moment!

Born Pretty Plate M64 Review.

A few weeks ago Born Pretty Store, a website with awesome nail art supplies offered to send me a few things to review on my blog. They sent me three things to talk about, and accordingly I've done three manicures to share with you. I'll be doing separate posts on each of the items over the next few days.

The first review is on a nail stamping plate I was sent. When I was asked what sort of item I would be most interested in reviewing, this was the one thing I specified. There were lots of great designs I already had brewing in my mind.

This plate is a dupe for a Konad plate, and I was happy to find that it really measured up to the Konad plates I own! The designs transferred perfectly, and the full nail images were the same size.

And here is the manicure I created, which was inspired by this design I had remembered seeing a few months ago.

The base color is OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender and I stamped with Sally Hansen Lively Lilac. The final touch were the dots in Color Club Foil Me Once.

After playing around with this plate a little I'm even more excited to have it in my collection. As I mentioned the plate is great quality and costs only $2.99. (Less than half of what a Konad plate would cost you.) You can buy your own here.
