Born Pretty Store Glitter Review

Press Sample


Hey all!  Today I have a review of circle glitters from Born Pretty Store.  These are super fun circle glitters in 12 different colors and two different sizes.  I used two different colors on each nail so you could see as many glitters as possible.  To start I painted my nails with Zoya Raven.  Then I used a toothpick with a bit of base coat (I've used topcoat in the past but it was quick dry and dried up too fast) on it to pick up a glitter and place it on my nail.  After placing the glitters where I wanted them I put on a layer of topcoat over the whole thing.




I love that the glitter comes in a variety of colors.  I do wish some of the colors were a bit more opaque because they loose a bit of their color and can look similar to other colors on the nail.  For example my pinky has blue and green glitter but they kind of all look the same.


This mani was my second attempt at using the glitter this way.  The first attempt was not very good and I had glitters popping off before I could even take pictures.  So I do think there is a bit of a learning curve here but once I figured it out it was fun.  These can be used for so many different things.  You can check out the Born Pretty Store here and the specific glitter I reviewed here.  They have a huge variety of nail art items to look at.  Also I have a coupon code that will save you 10% off your order at bornprettystore.com.  Use code FEMJ61 when you order.    

So what do you guys think?  Are a fan of these or does it bother you to have things sticking up off your nails?  I hope you all have a great evening.

Smitten Naiad

Sun
Hello lovlies!  Today I have a polish that I was so excited for that I sold some of my other polishes in order to supplement my polish budget for the month so I could by it.  This pretty, pretty polish is Smitten Naiad.  I was just simply taken by this the minute I saw pictures on Smitten's facebook page.  This blue has the most amazing pink shimmer in it.  This is three coats of Naiad.  The formula and application were good.  It has a jellyish feel to it so that's why it took three coats.  I decided to add Elevation Daisen as an accent nail.  While I'm super excited to have my first circle glitter polish I wish I would have left it off.

Naiad should come with a warning though.  It stained like crazy when I took it off.  I don't usually have to many problems with staining, which is good because I love blues and greens.  Not only did I have smurf fingers after removal my actual nail beds had blue spots on them that were still there a week later.  Now my nails are always painted so it's not like you could see it but it was still weird.  All that being said I'm still going to wear this again because I'm in love with the color and pink shimmer.  All in all I adore my first Smitten and can't wait to pick up more.  Do you have a favorite Smitten polish?

Happy Monday and I'll talk with you soon.
