Born Pretty Store stamping plate

Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Instagram already know that I won a Born Pretty Store giveaway and I received two wonderful printed stamping plates. Today I will show you one of them, it is the Qgirl - Q10 plate which has some fashionable patterns, that are perfect for large and small nails too. 

I used for this manicure the gorgeous textured polish that I won from So Nalicious, called Bird of Paradise from the Carnivale collection. I like the smooth, almost leather like texture of this beautiful peach shade, which I applied in two coats. The consistency of the polish is perfect and it is very easy to apply. It dries to a matte finish. And a big plus for me is that this polish is 3-Free with no formaldehyde, toluene or dibutyl phthalate (DBP).

On the nails where I applied the stamping pattern I used a very old polish of mine, Rapsodi from the Exclusive collection, it is a very elegant light pink shade with a strong gold reflection. I am not an expert in stamping, so excuse the result of it, I definitely need to practice more!

Even if the stamping is not perfect, I enjoyed to were this elegant mani. If you like the stamping plate you will find it at the Born Pretty Store. You can use my discount code for any kind of purchase!

I want to finish my today's post with some pictures I made at the Botanical Garden from my town (Grădina botanică "Alexandru Borza"). The hospital where I go for my monthly treatment is very near to this beautiful garden and one morning I had to wait two hours for the effect of an injection and I thought to spend this time efficiently. I made all the pictures with my phone, so excuse the quality of it. 

Seeing the beauty of the nature I realized that we miss a lot of things if we just run and stress our self's and we don't open our eyes and minds. I am glad that I took this walk early in the morning, the garden was peaceful and brought me a smile on my face!

I hope you enjoyed my mixed post, I am really anxious to read your comments and opinions about it. Have a fantastic day and thank you for stopping by!

Inspired by an outfit

I made again a matching manicure for an outfit, now you can notice that this is my absolute favorite theme when it comes to nail art. I saw in the summer time this fantastic looking outfit by Francesca and I already knew that I am going to make a matching mani to it. I hope that you like it as much as I do.

I used the bellow seen  polishes and acrylic paint for the poppies. 

I am very curios about your opinion! Have a great day!
