To recreate this look, all you need is Maniology's "Occasions: Birthday Behavior" nail stamping plate.

Our innovative and iconic nail plates let you copy and paste your favorite patterns and prints onto your nails. It's easy and effortless, and you'll be left with seriously stunning and Instagram-worthy birthday nails.
