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.

Sweet Color Nail Polish
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. 

Sweet Color Nail Polish
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.

Wing Dust Blue Steel

Wing Dust Collections is an indie polish line that's available both on Etsy and Llarowe that was created by Stephanie. Located in Canada, they ship worldwide (from Etsy) and in the U.S. (via Llarowe). From what I read on the "About" page on Wing Dust's Etsy page, $1.00 from each bottle of polish sold goes to a fund for Stephanie's team mission fund to Zambia. 

The majority of the polishes from this line look like glitter toppers which is one of the many types of polish I'm obsessed with right now. The one I'm showing you today is a flakie polish named, Blue Steel. 


 Blue Steel has a sheer blue jelly base with blue and green iridescent flakes and a subtle iridescent shimmer. This polish is intended for layering; I used one coat on top of Ludurana Rock (black creme). I used one coat of Seche Vite for my top coat. 

 When applying, I didn't get a lot of flakies on my brush. I tried to remove the base without loosing too many flakes but it was a little tricky. The jelly base doesn't drip as fast as a clear base would and hold on tightly to the flakes.You can see that I don't have a ton of flakies on my nail (this is one coat). I did not apply a second coat so the effect was more subtle on my nails. In the sunlight, it is more noticeable and quite pretty. The more bling the better (in my world) so I'd recommend using more than one coat to make the flakie effect really pop.


 Here is a macro shot of the bottle. Doesn't this shade of blue remind you of the ocean?

I didn't notice Blue Steel in the Wing Dust Collection Etsy shop but it is currently available at Llarowe for $8.50.

Dance Legend Yellow Watermelon

Ahhh, Dance Legend. I've been seeing a lot of hype about this brand lately. I was excited to try a polish from this company even though it's so not my style. Yellows do not get along with my skin tone. Hello, lobster hands! It's definitely a party on my nails though. Even though this isn't my style, it was nice to see what the formula was like. 

Dance Legend is a Russian brand that is available on Llarowe's site for U.S. customers. They have been getting attention for their holos and thermal polishes. They also have a selection of neons and textured polishes. The thermals are the polishes I'm the most curious about. They look amazing.


 I'm wearing Yellow Watermelon which is from the Exotic Fruit Collection. It is highlighter yellow with green glitter flakes. They must be a very dark green because they look black to me. 

The formula is absolutely flawless. From what I can tell with this one polish, Dance Legend is a good quality polish. If they all have a formula like Yellow Watermelon, sign me up! It was perfectly smooth, leveled well, and dried quickly. I only needed two coats for opacity. The first coat was a little sheer but the second coat covered the nail completely. I used Seche Vite for my top coat. 

You can get this polish from Llarowe for $9.00. It's currently out of stock but you can keep track of restocks by signing up for newsletters.
