Born pretty store item Review PART 1

These items where sent for review


Hi guys
Today I am reviewing a stud wheel from Born Pretty Store.

I wore each one of these looks for 24-48 hours.
All where applied with topcoat .
Wear was great, these are the smaller studs from the wheel so there is no sticking out due to nail curve.
Only one star fell of after day 2 and that was because I took a shower and I started picking at my nail.

These square studs are my favorite out of the bunch.  I applied matte coat to China Glaze liquid leather and added the studs to the tips. I love this look. I made it before going out on a Saturday and I felt like I had the coolest nails around.

This is the wheel with many different studs to choose from . It retails for $4.16 it can be found here.

I used the Stars for the Galaxy nails. The square studs ( big and small) for the black french and the small circles for the holo red.

This kit is great for trying out the bigger kits Born Pretty Store has to offer. You can probably get two looks with each stud choice in the wheel. If you are looking to cover more then one nail I suggest you find the wheel that has more of the same stud. But as you can see this wheel is great for accent nails and small little details in very simple to make manis.

Nails Inc Leather Effect Swatch

Hi guys! So this is a super fun post for me, I finally get to use my Nails Inc Leather Effect Kit I got for Valentines Day. That's right guys, all I wanted for Valentines day was nail polish! This polish starts out Glossy but then slowly dries to a leather effect. This polish is not bumpy and feels like a soft nail file. I'm very aware of what is on my body ( when I wear contacts I can feel them in my eyes the whole day) and I was very aware of this polish all day. But is was not unpleasant. I love the effect it makes and it is very unique from anything I own.

Here I used the studs and the skull that come with the pack. I used the glue that comes in the pack to glue all the studs and skulls. The studs are very durable and I bet the skulls would have stayed longer on my ring finger if I wasn't running around and picking up kids all day. Not something I will wear on a weekday when I'm working with my little clients.

I swatched the polish by itself. Two coats, waiting two minutes or so between coats.
This polish is great for a TOP coat for nail art. I would not recommend it for a base. I tried to make white lines 15 minute after application and its smudged together, not cute. I then applied a base of Sally Hansen White on, used tape to make the diamonds and added black. It worked out better this way, clean lines and no smudges.

This is what you get in the back. On the nails inc website you only get the skulls. My Fiance bought this at sephora for $25 and you get crystals and studs along with the skulls. The crystals are Swarovski crystals so quality is great.

This is what is looks like without the skull. I didn't use all the items in the kit. I didn't want to much on my nails, the polish adds enough effect as it is. I will add that the studs would occasionally get stuck in my hair, but no other problems beyond that.

So what do you think? With all the new textures out there, is this something you would add to your collection.
Enjoy!
