Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate & Rhinestone Review

I got this stamping plate from the Born Pretty Store a while ago for review because I loved the adorable mustaches on it, but I knew it'd also be perfect for a Valentine's Day mani since it has a bunch of different lip images on it. I love how the mani turned out!

I started out with the Zoya ombré that you see below, using Reagan on my pinkie, followed by Lara, Shelby, and GeiGei. I stamped lips and mustaches over my base and added some rhinestones in two different size; the larger ones are here and the smaller ones are here.

Born Pretty Store Review

Hey all! I have a review for some products I got from the Born Pretty Store for you today. The first thing I got was a set of stamping polishes in red, white, yellow, blue, and black. As you can see, the red polish arrived kinda gunky. I'm not sure why that was the only one affected, but it wasn't a big deal.

The red polish wasn't really useable, so I tested the rest of the colors over Milani Fuchsia Fierce. From top to bottom: yellow, white, black, blue. With the exception of the yellow, these covered fabulously and honestly the yellow covered really well for a yellow. The black dragged just a bit because I didn't wait for it to dry long enough before I applied my top coat.

The other product I got from Born Pretty was a nail art wheel with little dessert-themed clay nail appliques. These are absolutely adorable and while they wouldn't be convenient for everyday nail art, I think they'd be so great for a nail art contest or a themed event.

The Born Pretty Store has really excellent pricing and a lot of variety in their products. I would definitely recommend the stamping polishes since they are totally comparable to the Konad polishes for a much lower cost. Also if you chose to order, please use the code ZR5X31 for 5% off! :)

Born Pretty Steel Ball Nail Art

Good morning! Here is yet another trend that I am behind on, the "caviar" mani. Yeah, I know I'm not supposed to call it that, but whatever. How about the microbead mani? Alliteration FTW! Okay so today I have a couple microbead manis to show you using some steel nail art balls that I received from the Born Pretty Store to review. I got twelve different colors and they all arrived in their own little container. The containers are closed really tight and everything arrived safely with there was no spillage.

I decided to use my two favorite colors for the review, so I started looking through my stash for a purple and a turquoise polish to match. For the purple, I chose RBL Mismas and the lighter shade of purple microbeads. Mismas is amazing. I had some base coat-related formula issues with my RBLs, but I bought a bottle of Essie ridge-filling base coat and used it this time and it was incredible. Mismas applied so smooth and easy. Anyway, after two coats of polish, I dipped my ring finger nail into the little container of beads. I didn't get total coverage, but I like that some of the polish is still peeking through.

I decided to use Essie Turquoise & Caicos with the turquoise beads. This was my second attempt, so I was able to get better coverage when I dipped my nail in the beads. I actually really like this look. It's not convenient for every day wear, but it would work great for a fancy one-night mani.

This steel ball set retails for $5.41 and you can purchase them here. Don't forget that you can use the coupon code over there in the right sidebar, ZR5X31 for 5% off your order!
