Born Pretty Store review- Stamping plate

Hi everyone!

Today I have a quick review on a Born Pretty Store stamping plate in BP-51


As with every BPS plate I own, the images are well engraved and all pick up beautifully!

Here is the first mani I did using the cute feather as an accent 

For this mani I used Revlon "Rainforest" as a base and stamped with Sally Hansen "Lite"

The only issue I had at the time of receiving the plate was that my nails were a little too long for the full size images to fit. Since then I have filed my nails down so the full size images fit perfectly!

Here is my second mani showcasing the pinwheel image


For this mani I used Pinwheel Polish "Harmonious Hues" for all my nails except my right finger where I used Sally Hansen "Petal Pusher" as the base and stamped with "OMGhost" also by S.H

For this last mani, I used Orly "Cherry Bomb" as the base and stamped with Bundle Monster black stamping polish. 

My final thoughts of this plate are pretty much the same as every plate I review for them, I love it! It has really cute images and all of them pick up with absolutely no issues. 
You can find this plate by searching item #18794 on BornPrettyStore.com

Born Pretty Store Review- Water Decals

Hi everyone! Today I have another BPS review for you guys, this time I was sent 3 sheets of water decals.

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the original packaging because I cut it while opening the envelope lol. 

As you can see, this decal set comes with three different sheets to choose from which is amazing for a lot of different manis.
For the first manicure, I chose to use the bows from the HOT-178 sheet and the lips, "xoxo" and "love" speak bubble from the HOT-179 sheet.  
These water decals are extremely easy to use. All you have to do is soak the chosen image in water for 10 seconds then slide it off the backing and on to your nail.
For the second design, I chose to use the "Love and Peace" image from the HOT-178 sheet. For some reason, that saying really reminded me of the 70's/hippie scene lol. So I decided to add that image over a tie dye background. 
I really like the way these turned out! As I mentioned before, these decals are really easy to use and make for a quick and cute mani!

You can get these here or search for item #17411 on BornPrettyStore.com

Born Pretty Store Review- Stamping Plate BP-39

Hello everyone! Today I have a quick review on a stamping plate from Born Pretty Store for you.
When I chose this stamping plate I was really excited for the one in the middle on the bottom row because I thought it said "bruh" lol. Turns out it says "buuh" but I still love it! 
I was very pleased with the size of the full nail images. I was worried they weren't going to fit my long, pointy nails but I was pleasantly surprised that they just fit!
I was very happy with the smaller images as well. The top two have thinner lines so I thought I'd have a hard time picking them up since I'm still learning how to stamp but I had no issues with any of the images at all. 

This plate is available here or you can search for item #18782 on BornPrettyStore.com

Bundle Monster Downtown Collection- Review

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've posted anything and I'm sorry for that. I'm really trying to get in to blogging more. Anyway, today I come to you with a review of Bundle Monster's Downtown Collection!

Bristol is a deep maroon creme that was opaque in 2 coats. The formula was extremely nice and easy to work with. I had no issues with this staining my nails or the skin around my nails.

I used 2 coats of Bristol over 1 coat of Chrome my Nail by Bonita to create a ruffian mani. I also added a little bit of lace with black acrylic paint.

Crowley is a deep purple creme that was opaque in 1 coat. This picture does not do this polish justice! In real life, Crowley leans a lot more red than blue. The formula was perfection, not too thick even though it's a one coater. I had no staining issues with this one either.

I used 1 coat of Crowley and did some glitter placement with Diamond Drops by Color Club. 

Eaton is a dusty teal creme that was opaque in 2 coats. The formula was amazing and I had no staining issues with this one.

I used 2 coats of Eaton with 1 coat of High Fashion by Milani and black acrylic paint for the tip design.

Harlow is a deep blue creme that was opaque in 1 coat. The formula was obviously amazing. It was the perfect consistency for being a one coat polish. I had no staining issues.

I used 1 coat of Harlow and did an argyle pattern with acrylic paint.

Oxford is a nice coffee brown creme that was opaque in 2 coats. The formula on this one was a little bit thinner than the rest but it was still easy to work with. I would just say to make sure you don't have too much product on your brush or you might run the risk of overflowing your cuticles. 

I used 2 coats of Oxford, studs by Sally Hansen, and black acrylic paint for the accent nail.

Redhill is a dark burgundy shimmer with flashes of red that was opaque in 1 coat. The formula was just phenomenal on this one. I was expecting for this one to be a 2 coater so I was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, I did experience a little bit of staining on my nails after wearing this for about a day. It's very minor but noticable if you look close enough. 


I used 1 coat of Redhill to create a half moon and then lined it with silver glitter.

This is the first time I've ever used any Bundle Monster products and I'm very impressed. I've also read that they stamp very well too! I'll hopefully be testing them out for stamping very soon! The Downtown Collection is available on their website now.

Born Pretty Store review (rhinestones + water decals)

Hello ladies,

Today I have a Born Pretty Store review for you all. I was sent 3 products, a rhinestone wheel and 2 different water decal pages? Packets? Lol I'm not sure but you'll see what I mean in a second! 

Rhinestones (Item #16277)

There's really not much to worry about when you buy rhinestones or studs other than, do they get cloudy or lose color when you apply topcoat over them? Well these don't! 
I was a little apprehensive to apply topcoat over them because I thought they'd lose the cool color shift they have going on but they didn't at all! 
The base color for this manicure is called Fall Brisk by Pinwheel Polish.

This wheel also contains white rhinestones and different shapes.

These rhinestones are available here.

Water Decals #1 (Item #14925 in design H060)
As usual, the water decals are super cute and extremely easy to use. There isn't much to say other than that so here is another picture instead.
The colors I used for this manicure were Sally Hansen-Champagne Toast (light pink) and Revlon-Jungle. The design on the two middle accent nails was hand painted with acrylic paint.

These are available here.

Water Decals #2 (Item #14779 in design DS-086)
These gear water decals caught my eye immediately because I thought they were unique compared to the floral ones I usually choose. Just like the rest, they were extremely easy to use.
For the accent design I used striping tape and black nail polish over a gradient using Sally Hansen-Lightening, yhBEJA Cosmetics-#4, and L.A Colors-Sea Siren.

These are available here

Born Pretty Store review + discount code

Hi ladies! Recently, I was sent a couple items from Born Pretty Store to review, the first being these 1mm-2mm round glitters (item #15085 on their website). 
I decided to do some simple but cute glitter placement changing between the two different sizes of glitter.

The glitter was extremely easy to use because it is thin so it lays flat on the nail. I had no problem with any of the glitter trying to stick up off my nail or it snagging on anything. 

The glitter comes in this little clear acrylic pot with a screw off top. 

Here I've included a few macro shots of the glitter in the pot and on the nail.
Overall, I'm very happy with this product and customer service was fantastic! If I had any questions or concerns I would email them and get a response the same day.

Born Pretty Store kindly provided me a discount code for you all to use for 10% off your purchase: CTZX31.

You can check out Born Pretty Store HERE and find this exact item HERE.

I hope you all have a great weekend!
