Spring Garden - Rimmel New Romantic, Hit the Bottle As Black As Night, Born Pretty Harunouta 春の歌 Plate 05

Stamp ALL the things! That seems to be the theme this year. I reckon Jme and I are getting pretty good at this stamping business. =)

[Flower, my pretties]

With a pretty pink base, a floral pattern seems like the right way to go about it.

The pastel pink base was from last week's post; Rimmel New Romantic from one of the Kate Moss collections.

The plate I'm using was generously provided for review from Born Pretty - (Harunouta - Haru No Uta) 春の歌 plate 05. It comes with a protective blue film and a beautifully printed cardboard storage sleeve.

This is a gorgeous full design plate featuring a lovely chrysanthemum floral pattern. Love the details of the flowers and leaves. I also found it really easy to use because you can literally swipe and scrape anywhere on the plate and get a great full coverage stamp with minimal effort.

Because I had more plans for this stamping manicure, I just used a plain black creme stamping polish - Hit the Bottle As Black As Night. Lovely contrast with the pale pink base! It actually looks a bit like a lace pattern from afar.

Here it is again on the nails in comparison to the plate. I think the only issue I had was that I have fairly small nails and this is a largish pattern so I couldn't get full blooms on each nail.

Still really like it! This sort of full-design plate would be particularly great when you have long nails.
