ALLLL my purchases finally came in and it was almost like Christmas coming into my room to find all of my packages. :)

Of course I tore into them out of sheer joy before taking pictures but I have re created everything as close as possible so you can experience the joy with me.

[Nail Art Review] Born Pretty Holo Polish

This is a Sponsored Review -All Reviews are done unbiased and honestly

Today I have another sponsored review brought to you buy Born Pretty! They often give bloggers opportunities to test and review new or hot products they carry in their store, and I jumped at the chance to bring you guys a new great review!

I was sent the Holo Polish in colour 7 which is a silvery colour with the rainbow sheen to it. I had wanted to try the green shade which I thought was colour 7, but that's ok with me. I'm happy getting anything at all! 

The polish itself is a smaller bottle, containing 6ml of polish, and a really nice brush head which isn't too big, too small or too stiff. 

The price of the polish is set at $12.88USD but on sale right now for $5.99USD which I think is a more attainable price for the size and amount you get of the polish. It also comes in 12 beautiful shades from the silver I have, purples, blues, greens and black shades. There is definitely something for everyone with these shades, and really helps spice up some nail art.

Depending on the look your trying to achieve you could definitely use one coat of polish, although two gives off the best results. It dries really quickly and application is neat and not streaky. The first layer is quite sheer but the second gives off the perfect vibe of holo-goodness.

1 coat                                                               2 coats

I would rate this polish a...

4.5/5

I only took off a half point because the bottle is quite smaller then what I'm used to although for born pretty products it is about the same size as some of their other polishes. The sale price does help make this a purchase that you will love and not one that will hurt your pocket later.

The formula goes on smooth and non streaky, and you don't need to load up the brush at all. It is for sure something i would recommend to anyone looking for a really cool and unique way to pump up their nail art or even just to have a gorgeous manicure.

{Review} Born Pretty Store Nail Stamp

As I previously posted, I have received a nail stamping kit from the wonderful Born Pretty Store! I did a large haul from their store before which you can find here, and a review I did on one of their amazing mood changing polishes here.

I searched how to use these stamps, and tried to do a little tutorial of how to use them, for all those other noobs out there haha. I will also include my own review on how easy it was to use, how long it took and how it lived up to my expectations. So without further adieu lets start!

The first thing I did was a nice base coat of a pearly iridescent nail polish, which I got from Ardene's for 2 bucks. I added rock candy by Sally Hansen for asparkle gradient to add some depth to the polish before I tried the stamp.

So to use the stamp, the first thing you do is pick your design. I chose to use the large flower since it was simple and large enough for me to get a good sense of the stamp. Then using whatever contrasting nail polish you choose, I picked wet and wilds blue moon, blob a bit on top of the impression.

 

Using the pink metal scraper, squeegee the excess nail polish over and off of the plate, using a lot of steady pressure to get as much excess off as possible.

Then stamp the impression, and it will show up on the stamper..then all you need to do is stamp the nail and your done!

To clean the plate, squeegee and the stamper, just use a q-tip with some nail polish remover, and wipe with a clean towel.

Once I figured out how to use everything, I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy the whole process was as well as how fast I could do all my nails if I wanted to. I was also happy with how easy it is to clean all the pieces and that the plate offers a good variety of different designs, from Hello Kitty, to fruit and flowers.

The only thing I didn't like was how light the stamp came out, and how it looked on my nail. It is probably just me being in experienced with the stamping process, but for my own nail art, I don't think I will be using the stamp again, unless it is for reference when I do my free hand designs. I like to have a bit more play and organic designs then a generic set of things. The Hello Kitty stamp will come in handy in the future though.

Over all, its a great product for someone looking for a quick way to spice up a manicure, and with how easy it is to use, its perfect for beginners. Its a great product and you should definitely check it out if your looking or something quick and easy!

New Review coming soon!

 

 

I finally have something new to review for all of you nail art lovers!! I recently received a new package from BornPrettyStore.com, that had a few fun items to try. Upon opening the small envelope, I saw a nail plate, magnet wand, stamp, their card as well as a large wrapped object. After struggling to unwrap the bulbous thing, I was excited to find a gold magnetic polish!

 

 

 

Not going to lie, I have no clue how to use these products, since I usually do any nail art by hand with just polish or little embellishments, but I'm excited to figure it out and show you all some new designs!

 

Stay tuned when I review each product, and also check out Bornprettystore.com and the wonderful products they have.

BornPrettyStore.com Nail Polish Review!!!!

As you may or may not remember from a previous post *cough right here cough*, I ordered some wonderful items from an amazing whole sale site called bornprettystore.com! They were so kind as to let me choose something to try out from their site, and being the nail polish junky I am, I obviously chose to try out a very interesting polish.

Before I get into the review, I just wanted to say that these are all my own opinions on every thing I try, whether I bought it or it was sent to me. I feel there's no reason to review something if its lies.

The polish I chose is called the Magic Purple/ Pink Mood Changing Polish (#3). As the name suggests, its a colour changing polish using shades of dark purple and a really pretty soft pink colour! On the site its priced as $7.11USD, which for the amount you get vs how many times you have to re apply, is kinda much, in my opinion. With that said, that is with free international shipping, so I cant be too harsh. The colours are beautiful and change depending on the temperature of your hands, Purple when your cold and Pink when your warm!

*click*Ooo Pretty!*click*

Application: 3/5

Like I said previously, it takes a while to get a nice coat of this polish. The first 3 coats go on very streaky, and have a really dull/ tacky look too it texture wise. After doing about 4 coats and a top coat, I got great coverage and a really nice look to my nails.

They look dusty..can you see the streaky goodness?

Drying Time: 5/5

This is the fastest drying nail polish Ive ever tried. By the time I finished one nail and moved on to the next, it was dry. It didn't cause any imperfections when putting on multiple layers which is nice, and it took me only about half an hour to have perfect, fully dry nails!

Colour: 4.5/5

I didn't know how this polish would turn out, but the colours are really beautiful. I was expecting more pigmented of a purple, but it almost looks like a greyish purple. Think a dusty and delicious piece of grape hubba bubba gum. The pink on the other hand is breath taking! I love the effect of the colour change, since my body temperature is random I always have a changing effect going on.

Over All: 4/5

Everything about this polish was amazing. The colour, how the colours changed and drying time were all pretty amazing and exceeded what I thought. It is a smaller portion of polish for the 7 dollar value, but I'm a big cheapo, a lot of my friends think its definitely worth the price. The only thing I didn't like about this polish was the initial look when I put it on. I was pretty distraught thinking I was gonna have weird streaky nails, but a good top coat and a few layers of this baby put those thoughts to rest!

<Sorry for the weird vid..first time lol>

I really do recommend this line of polish! its really cool and a great buy. The colour combinations are like nothing Iv seen from other brands iv been exposed to, and the way they change is mesmerising. If not for this polish, definitely check out the site! there is a lot their for everyone, and amazing gift ideas as well!! Also don't forget to use my coupon code for your purchase!! Any little bit helps right?! ^_^

Hope you enjoyed this review, and my next post will be my Puffy 3 tone brown lenses!! 

Stay tuned! (n_~)

Born Pretty Haul! (kinda long >.<) Discount codeee

I know, I know, this is a long over due post, BUT I'm finally reviewing my order I received from a wonderful little site called Bornprettystore.com. They specialise in mainly nail art, polish, makeup and other beauty supplies, but also have a wide range of apparel, hair products and other great nicknack's and jewelry. Since it was my first time ordering, I decided to get just a few items that iv been searching for online, and some things that were so reasonably priced I couldn't pass them up.

Did I fail to mention that this is a wholesale site? Cause it definitely is! 

I ordered a total of 6 items which came to a whopping 20 dollars. Amazing right?!?!?! Ya, I know, AND there was free shipping, so I'm pretty sure this is my new favourite go to site for everything!

Everything came decently packed with bubble rap and foam paper, but they were unfortunately crammed into a smaller envelope then I thought. I usually get items in small boxes, so I was a little concerned with it being in an envelope with the size of the items. Other then that everything went swimmingly! The postage was from Hong Kong to Canada and it took about 3 weeks, which wasn't too bad at all, and all of the products were in great condition and weren't sketchy knock off items!! (YAY) I highly recommend using this site for your beauty and nail needs! Now onto my items!!

Something that I've always wanted to try were those Japanese strawberry hair rollers. I had seen them around for a few years, but was always sceptical of trying them until more people started using them, especially after their air time on the super popular Dream High 2 TV show. After that a lot of stores raised their prices and lower the amount you get for them. I actually saw one store selling a pack of 4 for 15 bucks! (Rip off!) But this lovely store had a pack of 6 for only 4.08 USD!!! Ya I pretty much died of happy at that!

The next items I bought were an item that I feel like I desperately needed...EYELASHESSSS!! Not many people know / believe that I am part Asian (although small its totally there) and one of the most prominent trait I have is my eyelashes. :( They are short, stubby, straight and pointed down...just wonderful >.<. So I decided to try my luck at those 10 pair boxes :)

I got 2 different types, one very natural box, and a more dramatic gyaru point style box. At 4.23 and 4.83 USD, they were both very reasonable, and one also came with a very good quality eyelash / lid glue as well! Defiantly worth it! Both styles are very wearable and easy to apply, although I do need some help with blending my own terribly  resilient  lashes, but so far so good!

Since I do a lot of nail art, I thought i would try my hand at some actual brushes. I usually like to just use the brushes that come along with the polish, but since I'm becoming more advanced with my art, maybe I should try some real techniques. I got a 15 piece nail art set which includes 3 drawing tools, 7 painting tools, 2 liners,1 dotting tool and2 fan brushes for nail art effects for only 4.74USD. So far I haven't used them, but from what i can tell they are all very good quality with no loose pieces or bristles.

The last thing I got was just a random item that I saw before checking out the rest of my items, and at only 3.47USD it didn't hurt adding it. I got a little epi stick, which as you may already know is just a tightly coiled spring with two spongy bits on either side. Its used as a hair remover for small areas like the face and hurts like a mother!! >.<
