Born Pretty Store Sweet Color Review

I've been reviewing products from Born Pretty Store for a while now but I never tried any of their polishes. I thought it was long over due so I picked a Sweet Color polish to review this time. Most of you probably know that nail polish can not be shipped by plane. With Born Pretty Store being located in Hong Kong, it took about a month to arrive (I live in the U.S.). 

This Sweet Color polish is called Multicolored Shell Glitter #4. You can find it, here on the Born Pretty Store site. If you want to purchase the polish I'm reviewing, make sure you pick #4. 

Alright, let's get to the good stuff.

I used two coats of Sweet Color Multicolored Shell Glitter #4 over two coats of OPI Roadhouse Blues (navy blue). I topped it off with one coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat to get a smooth finish. 

I didn't have any problems with the formula. It applied smoothly with a lot of flakes every time I pulled out the brush. The polish has a black jelly base and a lot of beautiful flakies that flash orange, green, yellow, and a tiny bit of purple. 

 

What do you think? Flakie polishes used to be very popular but I still love them. Do you still wear this type of polish? Let me know in the comment section below. 

You can find this polish, here for $9.99. For 10% off, use my coupon code below!

Born Pretty Store - Gold Nail Art Stickers

Yesterday, I showed you a mani I did using an adorable nail art bow from Born Pretty Store. I explained that there are different designs you can choose from that one item number. I also said that I made the mistake of not picking my pattern for the next item I had to show you. Be so careful when purchasing an item that has different options. If you don't choose, something random will come to your mailbox. I unfortunately made that mistake with this item. I wanted pattern #1 but ended up getting pattern #3. Now, this is a product review so I did not pay for this item. It was my fault for not reading carefully and not specifying what I wanted. I chose not to exchange the stickers and to work with what I got. I think it would be easier if each pattern had it's own item number but I should have payed closer attention. The moral of the story? Don't order online when you haven't had your caffeine yet (or something like that). Moving on. 

 For this mani, I used Zoya Jem and gold nail art stickers from Born Pretty Store. You can find these stickers (and others), here. I applied the stickers after my polish was completely dry and then applied two thick coats of Seche Vite to get a smooth surface. 

You get one sheet of the stickers in your order. As you can see, I had already started using them when the picture was taken. They arrived in a plastic package completely flat and undamaged. 

The stickers are sturdy and easy to use. I just lifted up a strip and cut the amount of pieces I needed from it. The adhesive is strong but not so strong that you can't rearrange the sticker on your nail if needed. I did use top coat on top of the sticker to make sure it stayed in place and to get a smooth surface.

Although it wasn't the pattern I wanted, I think I made it work. It's not my favorite mani but it's not my least favorite either. I'm sure there are a lot of creative things you can do with these but I had nail blogger's block. Is that a thing? Let's say it is. If you have any ideas, please let me know!

You can purchase these stickers for $2.98 (free shipping), here. Make sure you specify which pattern you'd like. If you'd like an extra 10% off, use the coupon code below.

Which pattern is your favorite?

Born Pretty Dried Flowers

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that I don't do a lot of nail art. It's strange because I've always loved being creative. This seems like something that should come naturally to me. I suppose it's the ten tiny canvases that intimidate me. I recently made the goal of experimenting more with nail art. When Born Pretty asked me to review some of their products, I picked items that would help me achieve that goal.  

I used two coats of Zoya Natty for my base color. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do and how to best handle the flowers. The flowers are very delicate and require a gentle touch. I used tweezers to pick them up and small scissors to cut off what I needed. I applied a thick coat of top coat on each nail to make sure the flowers stayed in place. I also applied two more coats of top coat to seal the flowers in.  

The flowers come in this wheel, you can see that I have already used a few different colors. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do. 

You'll also notice that what I received is different than what is shown on the website. On the website it shows that the wheel comes with two different types of flowers. I'm not sure if the product has changed or if it was just a fluke. 

Aren't they pretty? 

You can find these flowers and many other nail art supplies at the Born Pretty store, here. Don't forget to use the coupon code!

Have you ever used dried flowers on your nails?

Born Pretty Glitter Review

My giveaway closes tonight at midnight (MST) so hop on over and enter, here! 

I'm so excited to show you a set of glitter I recently received from Born Pretty. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know how much I love glitter. I've noticed that a few of my favorite bloggers have been using loose glitter for nail art and I loved how it looked. When I was approached by Born Pretty to review one of their products, I didn't have to think twice about what I wanted to try. I chose a 12 pack of loose glitter (item #3103). You can find it, here. I was really impressed by how inexpensive this set is. Seriously, $6.45 for 12 different pots of glitter? That's fabulous. Let me show you what you get and what I did with them! 

Here are all of the colors you get. 

They are a little bigger around than a quarter and about a 1/2 inch tall. 

So pretty!

I wanted to create more than one look since I had twelve colors to play with. There are SO many things you can do with these. For example,

you can make a simple design that makes your nails look killer. I used two coats of Zoya Raven and the orange glitter to make this Halloween look. It took less than 10 minutes to apply the glitter. Super easy and very cute.

Not blingy enough for you? 

Dip your finger directly in the glitter pot (or sprinkle the glitter on your nail) and press down firmly to get full coverage. I applied two coats of Seche Vite to secure the glitter. I wore this mani for two days and nothing moved, lifted. etc. 

Want something more funky? I got you covered. 

I used the silver glitter with a half moon mani to be extra awesome.

(Zoya Storm -Black & Zoya Aurora -Purple)

 Direct Sunlight

This is what happens if you don't moisturize. Don't do that. 

(Shade)

It's also fun to use them with stamps. Check it...

I think his eyes are so cute. But wait, there's more (JK)...

  I'll be rocking this look tomorrow for Halloween. 

Zoya Ziv, Bundle Monster Plate #305 (BM-305), Konad Special Polish in Black, Born Pretty Red Glitter, and Seche Vite

As you can see, I had a lot of fun with the glitter. It was ridiculously easy to work with. Just dab some top coat where you'd like the glitter, dab the tip of your dotting tool in top coat to pick up the glitter and place. It stayed right where I applied it, didn't lift, bleed, or anything else you don't want your glitter to do. Seriously, twelve colors for under $7.00 is amazing.

Let's talk about Born Pretty for a minute. I've ordered nail art supplies with them before and have had a great experience every time. My orders always arrived in about a week, well packaged, and the quality was always great. 

You can get an even better price (and free shipping) with this coupon code. Just sayin! 

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!
