Review - Born Pretty Store

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about some super cute nail accessories that were sent to me for review from Born Pretty Store! Born Pretty Store is a great place to get inexpensive, yet cute little nail accessories, nail polishes and even makeup.

2Pcs/set Mini Heart Bowknot Rhinestone Nail Studs Charming 3D Nail Art Decoration - $2.78

These little bow and heart charms are super cute for an ornamental accent finger, but be wary if you have long hair or tend to touch your hair a lot, because these will either rip your hair out or rip the charm off your nail.

They sit quite high off the nail, but the little dangling heart is curved so it fits the nail well! The bow section is the worst bit because it juts out from the nail. The charms are absolutely gorgeous and amazing for a short wear time (out for the day or at dinner) but honestly, quite impractical. I used Zoya's Gaia for the white polish and some cute Etude House nail stickers for the gold lines and flowers!

2Pcs/set Shining Bowknot Crown Flower Rhinestone Pearl Charming 3D Nail Art Decoration - $2.86

These little nail bows are incredibly well put together and well thought out in structure. The base is slightly curved to fit the nail, so they don't fall off the nail when banged slightly (but will still pop off if caught in tangly hair!). These are the nicest little bow gems I've ever used, not too big that they hang off the end of my finger, not too small that they're not recognizable as pearl studded bows.

I used OPI's I Vant To Be A-Lone Star as the pale blue base of this manicure and I think it looks super cute and princessey - I have it on again with my short nails for tomorrows MAC Cinderella release! (I'm so excited!).

250Pcs/Box 2mm-5mm White Heart Water Dropping Oval Pattern 3D Nail Art Decoration - $2.59

I love these little wheels full of rhinestones and pearls, they're super easy to use and really space efficient! They aren't very portable though because the clear lid is quite loose and tends to roll around quite easily.

This wheel comes with large heart pearls, medium sized oval pearls, and little water droplet pearls. These only come in cream rather than a white, which is a little irritating since all of my other pearls are white in colour, which does make these pearls look a little dirty and discoloured. I think the water drop and oval peals are gorgeous, while the heart pears are a little too big for my nails and tend to get knocked off quite easily. I used Revlon's Gumdrop and OPI's Matte Top Coat to create the base of this manicure!

5 Sheets Nail Wraps & Black Nail File Wood Stick Set Mini Grids Stripes Full Nail Stiker - $3.82

The last things I received where these awesome nail wraps! These came in a set of five, even though I really only wanted the four tartan designs. These also came with a standard black emery board and orange stick (which I neglected to photograph because they were quite boring). My ring fingernail betrayed her family today, so now I have short nails for these swatches. My apologies!

I'm slightly irritated that the black and white decals are not black and white, but black and clear, because I don't want to paint five layers of a white polish on specifically to make these decals look good - when I use decals it's because I'm  being lazy and want a pre-made nail design to wet and apply. I was pleasantly surprised by the yellow tartan nails, they remind me of the movie Clueless! ^.^

Manicure Monday - Port De Bras

Hello Princesses!

Today I have some potentially very boring nails for you, but quite exciting nails for me! I was given this polish by my best friend forever and ever for Christmas and I absolutely love the soft muted lavender colour, but these are also my traveling nails, because I'm going to Taipei on Wednesday! 

I'm planning on getting a couple of sets of fancy gel nails while I'm over in Taipei (because they do the best gel nails ever!) so I won't have any Manicure's posted in the month of Febuary, but the rest of my posts will still be updated along with a couple of little video's of what I get up to in Taipei! ^.^ I'm so excited!!

Manicure Monday - Midnight Ginger Spice Latte

Hello Princesses!

Today I have some super quick and lazy nails! Whenever I feel extra lazy with my manicures I add a glitter topper to a plain base colour. Or sometimes I create a manicure with a glitter accent nail, either way makes me feel just that little bit more glam than bare nails!

For this manicure I used I Love Nail Polishes My Cat Suit as a black base, and topped it off with the Ginger Spice Latte glitter topper! The photo has mushed the colours together to they now look a little brown, but in real life it looks nice, trust me! ^.^

Does anyone actually read the text in these or do they just look at the pictures? O_o

Manicure Monday - Birthday Nails

Hello Princesses!

Today I have my extra special birthday nails to show you! I really love these nails because they incorporate everything I love in manicures and they make me super happy! ^.^

I used Butter London's Poole for the greeny/blue colour, and a couple of rose water decals for the cute little pink roses. I finished off the middle two nails with a bunch of rhinestones to glam it up a little, because I can! ^.^

My birthday is tomorrow (13th of Jan), any other January babies here?
