PET'LA STAMPING PLATES - REVIEW AND SWATCHES - PART 1

//Provided For Honest Review//
Hello everyone,

So, it has been a tough day for me today and yesterday so I couldn't post before. I am deeply sorry! :) Yesterday, I got a package from Petra - the mind of the Pet'la stamping plates. And just seeing those pretty plates, I already new, I am going to use them the same day. The timing was perfect, because yesterdays topic of my big holiday challenge was: SNOWFLAKE! :) And these plates have a bunch of different snowflake designs!


Firstly, let me introduce to you the unique nail art stamping plates Pet'la. These are the first Hungarian designed and both manufactured stamping plates. Besides that, the plates are not silver, as the usual ones, but are made of copper, that looks like gold. Each stamping plate contains 12 full nail designs. The designs are 16mm x 23mm, so they are even bigger than for example the XL MoYou London designs. You don't have to worry if your nails are shorter, because the designs are created in a way, that the picture does not lose its sense if applied on a shorter nail. You will see the first example today, as I had to shorten my nails couple of days ago, due to an accident while cleaning the flat. Another thing is that these designs are much deeper, so you don't have to be an expert at stamping but you can take your time. The plates allow you also to work with different kind of polishes, not only special stamping polishes. Basically, perfect for beginners at stamping.

Ok, now, let's have a look at the plates I have used to create this beautiful snowflake manicure. Each plate is presented by three pictures: one close up, one picture of a plate with the designs used for the mani and one picture of the stamps on the paper, where you can see how perfect they work.

FLAKE NO MORE




MISTLETOE




HO, HO, HO




I started with one coat of Catrice Brightening Base Coat and applied over it a coat of OPI Alpine Snow (I want to extend the life of my OPI Alpine Snow as much as I can, but I have just realized I am using it everywhere lately - ups). Over it, I applied two coats of Orly Angel Rain and then one coat of Poshe top coat. Now it is the time to see the pictures of the manicure itself. :) I used the marked designs for the snowflake stamping. I used in total 4 different designs (you can not see my thumb, because I am just not good at capturing photos with my thumb on it, sorry).  I used a design from the Flake No More plate on my ring fingers, for the middles I used the design from the Mistletoe plate, and finally for my index and pinky fingers I used the Ho Ho Ho plate design. The thumb has another design from Flake No More.

Ready for some nail porn? :) Here we go! - and yes, I tried using different lightening settings, in order to see which one is the best, but I love now all the pictures and couldn't decide which ones to throw out, so I will post everything! :)
