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 - I've Never Built A Snowman

Hello Princesses!

Today I have some super cute Snowman nails on! As most of you may know, in New Zealand Christmas time is during the Summer, so while these nails are not exactly appropriate for me to celebrate Christmas, they are incredibly cute and easy to create!

I used a white Etude House polish for the base, and dotted on the eyes using a large dotting tool (a round sewing pin would do the trick if you don't own one), dotted the mouth with a small dotting tool (bobby pins work well for this too) and a small brush with the Etude House Orange Ice Cream polish to create the carrot nose. It's super easy and super cute! ^.^

I've never built a Snowman before since it doesn't snow near where I live, have you built a Snowman before? 

Manicure Monday - Cashmere

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm have another super duper gorgeous polish made by the New Zealand indie polish company Star Kin, which goes by the name of Cashmere! This polish is as super cuddly and soft as the name implies and I am yet again in love!

Cashmere is a beautiful soft blue with lilac shimmer and scattered holographic effect, making it look super soft and cuddly in the shade, but stunningly sparkly in direct daylight! I love this cutesy polish! ^.^

Manicure Monday - Glitzerland

Hello Princesses!

Today I have short square nails! As you can already tell by my munched up index finger they didn't last very long :C But I thought I'd show you what I wore for a little anyway since having perfectly symmetrical nails is overrated anyway right! :D

The pink polish is Makes Men Blush by OPI and the gold polish is Glitzerland also by OPI! I love the combination of soft pink and gold, it feels so pretty and feminine! A bit of glitter always makes me feel cheerful when I have to shorten my nails ^.^
