[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.

November Favs!

I am back with another favourites post! This time much closer to the end of the month. For this favourites post, I will be posting not only fashion, but electronics, beauty and skincare products. :)

I have had these lenses for a while, but haven't worn them in a very long time. I have recently started wearing them and I am in love with them! They are the Bambi sesame grey lenses that I received from solution lens. Hands down my favourite lens I own!




Next is my spiked head band. Now that I have a super cutesy hairstyle, I like wearing this to get a little more edge into my style. When I'm having my angsty goth days, its the perfect accessory!


My favourite new toys!! my mac book and my bamboo!! (AHHHHHHH!) These are two amazing friggin electronics that everyone should have...just sayin. I use my mac everyday (obviously) and the bamboo i use to draw animations and things. I'm still figuring out how to use it but so far its pretty amazing.


One of my favourite sweater jackets is this one from Anthropologie. The front is your basic military style jacket, and the back has this gorgeous knit pattern. Its not very warm, at all, but it looks amazing with everything you try to put it with.


I bought these tights from Ardene's I bought 2 for 10 bucks, one black and one navy blue. These tights are so cheap and so amazing. The are actually lined with really nice soft fleece like material, so they keep my legs really warm in the winter. I bought them in a medium large since i have longer legs, and they fit perfectly! In case you don't know, when buying tights, the size correlates with the length, not the width.


I have probably talked about using this soap before, but I will say again, I LOVE THIS SOAP! I have hyper pigmentation spots on my face from acne and I have tried literally everything over the counter and ridiculously expensive. I had finally found this product in an Asian grocery store, and decided to buy it to even out my skin tone and it went above and beyond my expectations. My hyper pigmentation started to settle down, my skin tone over all evened out, and even fixed the dark area under my arms from saving. For 3 dollars a bar, it does amazing magical things!


These shoes I bought during November and forgot to include in my last haul, but the are amazing. I wear them almost every day and the match so many different outfits! The only thing is that they aren't that comfy so i had to add and insole to help me wear it for longer hours. I bought them at Forever 21 during their 10 dollar off event, and got them for only 30 bucks. :)


 Lastly these are my nails for this week :) Hope you enjoyed reading about things that i like!! If you want a more in depth post on anything let me know :) Stay Tuned!!!


QUICK SURVAY!! Would you buy stuff if i had a Blog Sale??
