Review: Born Pretty Store - Round Polka Dot Studs 2mm*

Review-Born-Pretty-Store-BornPrettyStore-BPS-Round-Polka-Dot-Nail-Studs-Fashion Dots Pattern-Decoration

In this pack there are 30 2mm round polka dot studs, there are other shape (square, triangle) and sized  (2mm, 3.5mm) ones on the website as well. 

I like the idea of these because the design is too small to do by hand on to a stud. For all of the nails I used monochrome polishes as I thought it went with the colours of the studs. 

The first way I used these studs was as a simple cuticle accent.

The second way I used them in a polka dot design as an accent nail.

And finally I used it along with some chevron tape to create a monochrome accent.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 417 (BM417)

review-bundle-monster-bm-417-BM417

This stamping plate is from the forth Bundle Monster set, the first CYO (create your own). It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp, comes covered with a blue cellophane sticker which you have to peel off before use.

On BM417 there are four full nail images and two smaller ones. All of the images were a little tricky to stamp across, I think that is because of the fine lines and details.
