Review: It Girl Nail Art fashion plate IG201

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

Hello!


I have another plate from It Girl Nail Art to show you today, this one from their new 200 series, which features infinite-style images for your stamping pleasure! As always, I made a video to show you the plate and give you some ideas:




And here are the stills of the plate:

I love the variety of images on the plate--beautifully balanced mandalas and sprawling henna-style designs that work together and are beautifully intricate--but also plenty of smaller images to give your design extra meaning. My favorite is the hamsa and the Ganesh. :)


Since the designs on plates like this vary in size, here's a shot with a ruler to give you a feel for how big the images are:





For a plate like this, I think it's always a good idea to pull out your image selector to help you pick out which parts of the image you want to put where:




Notice that the designs are big enough that you can use various parts of the design to get different compatible looks, or just stick with one area if you want to use it as a full-nail image.


These plates are top-notch quality, and stamp with amazing ease and excellent pick-up. For my sample manicure, I started with a base of Julep Karissa, a retro, near-neon, cherry red creme:

Then I stamped the pointy mandala first with Messy Mansion Carbon and then with Messy Mansion Soft Gold:

What do you think? I love the overlap, it gives a feeling of depth to the design that I really like.


You can find this plate in the It Girl Nail Art shop, and you can follow It Girl on Instagram and Facebook for inspiration, sales, and updates!


Happy stamping,
