Review - Nail Sticker from Born Pretty Store

Hello!

Today is my last review from Born Pretty Store and I will talk about nail stickers. Cute nail stickers.

I chose these nail stickers because I thought they will be super cute for a baby shower or something like that. I don't go often to baby showers, but you got to be prepare, right?? haha

 

Obviously, I forgot again to take a picture before doing my nails. Oops. You get a lot of nail stickers (product ID # 20557) for just one sheet (around 20, more or less) They are adorable, aren't they??

 

 

Easy to use, you soak them for around 20-30 seconds in the water and then you peel them off the sheet and apply them onto your nails.

 

I put two coats of top coat over the nail stickers to smooth everything, but sadly like you can see, my nails are super curvy so they stand off the nail edge. I think I was underestimating the size of the stickers when I decided to use two of them on my nails. Thin and super curvy nails. Oops.

 

 

While I think they are super cute and super easy to use, they are not for me, damn you curvy nails! If your nails are "flat", you can definitely wear this look! I will use the little hearts, but I think I will give the other stickers to my little sister! She will love them, I'm sure ;)

 

What do you think? Do you have the curse of curvy nails like me or are your nails are flat?

Review - Nail Foil From Born Pretty Store

Hello, hello!

Today I'm back with another review. This time, we will talk about some super cool nail foil I got from Born Pretty Store!

Let's begin! I got excited when I took my pictures, I was trying to get the all the shiny side of this nail foil.

I started off with a black base to make the nail foil (item ID # 21590 pattern #3)  pop more (BPS recommended to use a dark base for better results). I did one coat of the black polish, let it dry and then applied my top coat. While my top coat was still a little bit tacky I randomly applied the nail foil onto my nails.

I was not planning to do something full coverage and did not have a pattern in mind, I just went with my instinct.

 

The first time I tried to apply the nail foil I did not wait properly for my base to dry so when I applied the nail foil, the polish stuck to the nail foil and I had a hole on my nails with no polish. So, if I have one thing important to tell you, let your polish dry. Even if you think it's dry, wait a little more.

 

 

I did not apply a top coat over the nail foil when I was done, because top coat don't go well with nail foil, they dull it and the holographic effect just go and you are left off with something not as exciting on your nails.

 

I know some top coat don't do this, but mine does it, so definitely no top coat for me. Do you have a brand you would recommend for nail foil?  

 

 

It's pretty, isn't it? I love all the shiftiness in this nail foil :)

 

A macro to show you the nail foil a little bit closer. We can see on my pinky nail that the nail foil started to wrinkle a little bit, I don't know exactly why. You can't clearly not see it when you look from the "distance".

 

I am impressed with the nail foil in general, it was fairly easy to use and it makes a super cool effect on your nail once applied. What do you think?

Have a nice day and happy polishing!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Black & White + Skittles

Hello, lovely people!

TGIF! Today is Friday and you know what it means! Yes, this is the day where a bunch of nail artist girls from around the world present you the 40GNAI!

The prompt was black and white with a pattern assigned to each participants. Mine was skittles!
I just want to clarify something, I am not a skittle person. I like my nails to be the same or if I do a landscape that they come together as a whole. Sooo, I don't know if my skittle is pretty or original because I don't do them usually.

 

So here it is. My black and white skittle!

 

 

 On my pinky is a coat of Clearly Spotted by Color Show Maybelline over a black base. For the middle and the ring finger I used some vinyls and create lines and geometric patterns. My index was handpainted to create a tile pattern (but it looks a little bit like drunk squares haha). Finally my thumb is just black, because I love black nails and I do what I want, nah.

 

(Sorry for the cat hairs.. They are always stuck on my nails and I never see them before I look at my pictures on my computer u_u")

 

So what do you think? Win or fail? :)

 

Happy polishing!
