Born Pretty - Silver Nail Stickers

Hello! This week I have three items from Born Pretty Store to show you. Today, I have a mani I did using silver nail stickers and Zoya Ibiza.

Here is the mani, now let's check out the stickers. 

Please forgive this horrible picture. I spilled a few drops of Zoya Ibiza on the sticker sheet before taking photos. Note to self, take photos before the mani. There are better pictures of the stickers on Born Pretty's website, here. They come in one large clear sheet on top of a white piece of cardboard in a clear package. I tore off the top label in my excitement. I really failed on photographing the product here. ;)

Here is a section of the stickers up close. They are easy to peel off of the clear backing but they are on the fragile side. I would use tweezers to apply them, I ripped a few with my fingers. Several designs come in sets with different sizes for your nails. In the pictures, it is obvious I'm wearing stickers. You can see the border of the sticker in the pictures but in person, you can't really tell.

There is a texture to the sticker, they aren't flat which is nice. It gives the manicure extra dimension this way. I used two coats of Seche Vite top coat to smooth out the surface of my nails. 

I'm pretty sure the design I used is intended to be used for a half moon mani. I preferred them on my tips so that's what I did. I think they look elegant with Zoya Ibiza. 

What do you think? Would you wear nail stickers? I personally really love them and can't wait to use them again!

Day 10 - Gradient

I seriously need to practice this skill, but that's what this challenge is about right? Most of the techniques I will be posting will be of my first try so please forgive the ones that suck. Like today's for example! I thought this would be easy. It's pretty tricky. I tried this twice (one look on each hand). I thought I liked my second try better but was on the fence. Tonight I caught my sweet little niece eyeing my second try with a weird look on her face. I asked her if she thought they were ugly and she nodded her head and said, "yep!" I love how honest kids are. I'm going to post my first and less ugly try and move on to polka dots. lol

The only gradient you can detect is of the glitter but I promise, there are two blues on my nails. I used Zoya Ibiza on my entire nail and then sponged on OPI Cuckoo for this Color which is what you can see in the picture. The glitter is China Glaze Atlantis (gorgeous). I just got Atlantis from Transdesign.com and I love it!!!
