Stamping Plate: Born Pretty Store BP-120 (Christmas Design)

I got this is the summer and so now is finally the time to use this plate.

This stamping plate is fully lined with branded backing so no sharp edges.

It is sectioned in to four quarters each with a different Christmas related image. All of them stamped across well and can't see any issue with it. I think this would look good with a seasonal gradient background.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Reciprocal Gradient

I've never done a reciprocal gradient before and while I think it worked, next time I wouldn't use a peel off base coat as the liquid latex and the striping tape kept trying to pull away the polish.

Is Copper Dreams a dupe for Gingerbread? No, but is similar. Gingerbread is straight up bronze with glass flecks, Copper Dreams is more copper in tone with a slight duochrome to red. Also Copper Dreams has more of a shimmer finish than Gingerbread which is more glass flecked.
