Hello!


Today I have Lina Nail Art Supplies Born To Sail 02 plate to show you (for my review of Born To Sail 01, click here). Here is the review I did, with my ideas for how to use the images on the plate:

Here's a look at the plate:

Lina Nail Art Supplies Born To Sail 02

What I love about this brand: Lina does a great job of creating a selection of images that mix and match in countless combinations. For whichever icon you choose (anchors, seashells, ropes), there are a ton of images you can put together without guessing if anything is going to be out of proportion. She also adds a textural image or two and plenty of isolated images to add to your design. All of this makes Lina the queen of effortless mani building.

What I love about this plate: I love the stripe/word combination image, and the octopus is awesome. I love the water image with the crest at the top, but which can also double as texture or an animal print depending on the colors you use. I love that she gives you a little underwater scene to work with, and OMG, pirates!! And I love how well this plate plays with Born To Sail 01.


The full-nail images on Lina plates are 1.7mm x 2.2mm, and here's a shot with a ruler so you can judge the size of the little 'uns:

How about quality? I've always found Lina's plates to be excellent quality, and this one is no exception:

These were stamped with Sally Hansen Plummet, and a clear stamper--and look at that detail!!


This plate came right as I was out the door for a romantic weekend at the beach with my husband, so you know I had to hurry on up and make a manicure for the trip. I started with a gradient of Girly Bits Cosmetics Robin Me Blind and Denim & Diamonds, then stamped the wave image and the seagulls image with Messy Mansion Sterling and Chalk. Here's how it came out:

I love how this captures the look of the beach in the late afternoon when the sun's going down and the remaining light captures the crests of the water with a silver glint.


For my second mani, I wanted to do a mix-and-match mani with some of the sweet seashells on the plate. I started with a skittle of Zoya Sawyer and Zoya Sonya. I did one smoosh nail with these two colors and Zoya Journey for a little shimmer, then stamped my image with Messy Mansion Carbon; then I did a double-stamp with leadlight technique using Messy Mansion Sterling and Carbon, and a blend of Zoya Journey and China Glaze Fairy Dust in between. I stamped starfish on my pinkie and thumb with Hit The Bottle Polish Let's Go To The Peach, and topped it all off with a stud on my index finger:

I made a video tutorial of this mani so that if you love it as much as I do, you can follow step-by-step:

I love how the colors in this mani play together with she shimmers to create a little softness for the seashells, but still with bold summer colors. :)
