Born Pretty Store - Stamper and Plate review

Hi everyone! Today I have a little review of a stamper and design plate I was sent to review by Born Pretty Store. Now, just a warning, I am not a professional stamper. I have only been slightly dabbling in it for a few weeks. Thus far none of the stampers and plates I have tried have really worked for me. There is always hype about the Pueen and MoYou plates, but since I am a newbie, i didn't want to spend too much cash buying stuff Ill never be able to use. I thought this was the perfect time to see about reviewing a cheaper option. (cheaper in cost, not quality)

Vapid Lacquer - Pessimist and Optimist (Swatches and Review)

As many of you know, in doing nailart, it is sometimes hard to find that one base coat that has a great formula. I personally have had a very difficult time finding a white creme that didn't take a billion coats, wasn't streaky and didnt look thick when I was done. I think Vapid Lacquer has answered my prayers. Krys has had these for awhile and I don't know why I never got them before?!

Today I am going to tell you a little about two of her creme polishes, Optimist and Pessimist
