Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter

*Press Sample*

Hello! I have a quickie review today of a loose glitter from Born Pretty Store.  These are fun flower shaped glitters.  They're kind of big so I placed one on each nail.  I was going for springy colors so I started with Zoya Hudson then added the glitter.

You can find these glitters here and be sure to check out bornprettystore.com for all kinds of fun nail art items.  Be sure to use code FEMJ61 to save 10% off regular priced purchases.

Born Pretty Store Water Decals

Hello!  I have a quick review of some water decals from Born Pretty Store.  These decals have a tropical theme.  I adore the larger flowers because they are opaque and aren't picking up the underneath color.  I added the two little flowers on my ring finger thinking they'd be the same but they weren't so they're harder to see.  These decals are super easy to use.  You know me, I love easy, quick nail art.

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Stamping Plate was provided for review*

Hey all!  I have a review of Born Pretty Store stamping plate, BP56.  It's a cute plate with flower designs.  I just used a few random sections of the plate to stamp.  My index and pinky were stamped with Rica Pinky Promise.  It worked great!  The middle nails were stamped with a Color Club holo (sorry the label fell off and I don't know which one it was).  This looked great in person but didn't transfer well to the photos.  This plate worked really well.  No issues to report at all.

Hey all!  Tonight I have a review of some super cute, easy to use water decals from Born Pretty Store.  These are like instant nail art which is great for folks like me who are nail art challenged.  All you do is cut out the decal, remove the plastic covering, soak it in water for a few seconds then slide it off the backing onto your nail.  Super easy!  I started with Literary Lacquers Little Sleep Song and a quick dry top coat.  Once it was dry I applied the decals then top coated them again.  Let's take a look!

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Press Sample*

Hello!  I have a quick post today reviewing a Born Pretty Store stamping plate Qgirl-027.  I struggled with this plate because the images are so big.  Now you guys have seen my nails.  I have good sized nail beds albeit a bit curved.  I was only able to get partial images on my nails.  So I went back and forth on how to do it.  I went with just some half images.  There were a few images that refused to come up off the plate.  These two I used came up very well.  I used a black cream polish to stamp over Girly Bits Stormy Skies.

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Press Sample*

Hey all!  I have a Born Pretty Store stamping plate to show you today.  I used three different stamps from plate L006.  I love houndstooth so I was so excited to try this out.  I used the two larger patterns on the middle and ring finger then a plaid looking design with little tiny houndstooth on it.  Along with it being my first time using this plate it was also my first time using my new stamper.  It's super squishy and is going to take some getting used to.  You can see that for the most part I picked up the full images.  Unless you got right up close to my nails (like I'm showing you all) it really wasn't noticeable.

All in all I would recommend this plate.  Especially to someone who is a better stamper than me.  I need to get in some more practice with my new stamper.  You can find the plate here and everything else that Born Pretty Store has to offer here.  Don't forget code FEMJ61 will save you 10% on regular priced purchases.

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Press Sample*

Hey guys!  I have a quick review of a Born Pretty Store stamping plate for you today.  I started with a base of Essie Mojito Madness and stamped an image from plate QA87 using Rica Gloomy Sunday.  I didn't have any issues with this plate.  I stamped several of the images on a piece of paper and they all picked up very well.

I love gray and green together but this mani was hard to photograph.  The gray was much easier to see in person.  Born Pretty Store has a ton of great nail art products.  Click here to see the plate I used.  Also, don't forget to use code FEMJ61 to save 10% on regular priced purchases.

Born Pretty Store Nail Studs

*Press Sample*

Hello!  Today's post is a review of these pretty nails studs from Born Pretty Store.  The ones I picked are brightly colored stars and circles.  I started with a base of China Glaze Aquadelic, which was one of my favorite polishes ever but the color seems to have changed.  It's not as bright as it used to be.  Sad!  Then I used tweezers to pick up the studs and place them on the nail.  I went with some random patterns so you could see all the colors they came in.

The studs are easy to use and stayed put nicely.  My only real complaint is in the package they got a bit mixed together in transit.  Born Pretty Store has tons of great, affordable nail art options.  The studs I used are here.  Remember code FEMJ61 will save you 10% on your regular priced purchase.

Have a great night!

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Press Sample*

Hello!  I have a stamping plate review for you today.  The plate was sent for review from Born Pretty Store.  I used an image off plate W-10.  My squishy stamper fell apart when I first tried this mani so I had to use my double ended Konad stamper.  I think this plate was very good.  The images picked up and were complete.

I used Rica Sugar Plum Wings to stamp on Barielle Moda Bleu.  I ended up wearing this mani for a few days because I liked it way more than I was anticipating.  Born Pretty has tons of inexpensive, neat nail art products.  If you click here it will take you right to the plate I used.  Don't forget code FEMJ61 will save you 10% on your regular priced purchases.

Born Pretty Store Water Decal Review

*Press Sample of Water Decals*

Hello!  Today I have a review of Born Pretty Store water decals.  I like to call them instant nail art.  You guys all know that I'm not very good at nail art so these are perfect for me.  They are so simple to use.  Start by cutting out the piece you want to use and remove the plastic covering.  Then I use tweezers to hold it in a little dish of water for about 10 seconds.  The decal should then slide right off the backing.  Place them on your nail and when it's positioned the way you want soak up any water using a paper towel.

I started with a base color of Essie Find Me An Oasis with a quick dry top coat.  Once it was reasonably dry I added the decal and then top coated it again.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

If you'd like to see these specific decals click here.  The Born Pretty store has a ton of great, affordable nail art.  Use code FEMJ61 to save 10% on your regular priced purchases.  I have some other Born Pretty goodies to show you in the upcoming week so stay tuned.

Born Pretty Store Stamper Review

*Press Sample*

Hello!  Today I have a review of a stamper from Born Pretty Store.  The stamper was sent for review.  I purchased all the polishes and plates used today.  The stamper is a rectangular, which I love.  It's not as hard as my konad stamper but not anywhere as squishy as my xl stamper.  I used two of Rica's stamping polishes, light purple and pink.  As you can see I have some incomplete images on my nails.  Two things caused this, one, you have to roll the stamper across the nail.  Just pressing straight down didn't work like it does with my squishy stamper.  Second, the stamper was having trouble picking up full images.  You can see that most of my images are missing the very edge.  No matter what I tried I couldn't get nice crisp edges.

I'm not ready to give up on this rectangle stamper.  I really want it to work for me.  So I'm going to keep practicing and see if it's me or the stamper.  Born Pretty has a ton of different nail art items.  Click here to check out the shop and here to go right to the stamper.  The code FEMJ61 will save you 10% on regular priced items.  I hope you all have a great day!

Until next time...

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Press Sample*

Hey guys!  I have a stamping plate from Born Pretty Store to review for you all today.  I started out with a base of Mentality Orgasmic which I received in a secret swap from a lovely lady.  Then I used my go to black stamping polish, Wet n Wild Black Creme to stamp this very pretty flower pattern from plate QA27.  I have to say that this plate worked really well.  Other than on my ring finger where you can see the inside of a flower is missing it stamped amazingly well.  The missing flower part probably has more to do with me than with the plate.  I'm still working on this stamping thing for sure.

So I have to say for $2.99 this plate is worth it.  Here's the link for the plate and here's a link to Born Pretty Store.  Don't forget off to the right is a discount code, FEMJ61, that will save you 10% on regular price items.   Have a great day!

Born Pretty Store Nail Studs Review

*Press Sample*

Hello!  Today I have my first attempt at nail studs to show you.  I received these cool blue leaf studs from Born Pretty for review.  Since I had never used them before I decided to go simple for my first time.  My next conundrum was how to put them on and what to use to make them stick.  I dug around in my bin of random nail art stuff from the days of Nail Art Society (think that was the name) and found some tweezer type things that worked for picking up the studs.  I put down a layer of topcoat then placed the stud on the nail.  I love they way this turned out so much.  It took a very simple mani of China Glaze Shore Enuff and First Mate and amped it up a notch.

I think I didn't push them down enough into the topcoat so they popped off pretty quick.  I've been advised to try some nail glue next time buy some very smart ladies.  Born Pretty has all sorts of nail art supplies.  Click the link to head over to their store front.  If you'd like to go directly to the nail studs click here.  I have a discount code for Born Pretty one the right side of the blog.  The code is FEMJ6 will save you 10%.  Here's a link for a great sampling of everything they offer.

Born Pretty Store Nail Foils

Press Sample

Hello!  Today I have a review of some nail foils that I received from Born Pretty Store.  I was really excited for these because I like the cool look they give.  There is quite a learning curve with these.  There are directions on bornprettystore.com but they never tell you which side to put down on the nail.  Luckily some awesome girls in a nail group were able to answer my questions.  FYI, the colorful side goes up and the plain side goes on the nail.

The directions say to put on your base color, I used China Glaze Elephant Walk, then when the polish is slightly tacky to put the foil on and press down on it then remove the foil from the nail.  No matter how many times I tried I just kept pulling my base color up.  So instead I put on my color and used a quick dry topcoat.  The next morning I put on a layer of regular topcoat, let it dry just a bit then used the nail foil.  I had much better luck this way.

So what do you think of foils?  I know I could never make it cover the whole nail but I like the cool effect this gives.  I do want to play with these some more to try and get better.  I will be sure to post more pictures when I do.  If you'd like to check out Born Pretty Store click here and if you'd like to go directly to the foils click here.  Remember there is a 10% discount code off to the right.  If you decide to try these remember to keep your patience.  Have a great day!
