Hey Y'all!

It's a patriotic stampin plate! I'm so excited to have this just in time for 4th of July! 

I also used some of the Salon Perfect Patriotic collection! 

Review/Demo:

I started with these bases: Salon Perfect: "Titanium" "Salsa Dance" Gradient of "Salsa Dance" and "Indigo-go", and my pinky is "Oceanic."

This is the plate that I'm reviewin. It's a BP-38 Patriotic plate.

Scrape the polish towards me with my creative shop scraper.

Next I chose the giant flag design with the "Titanium" silver polish.

Line my nail up and push into the stamper. This one went on my middle nail which was red.

Last I chose the Lady Liberty design with "Sugar Cube" white. 

Scrape the polish towards me.

Line up my nail and press into the stamper.

Here's the stamped designs.

Then on my pinky I used Salon Perfect "Let Freedom Bling" bar glitter. Just one coat of a beautiful tinsel like glitter.

So shiny!

Finish it all off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

Born Pretty Review: Lace Stickers

Hey Y'all!

Another Born Pretty Store review for ya! I had quite a few products this time so I wanted to get right through em!

Today we have some lace nail stickers. 

I was too in love with Orly Color Blast "Enchanted Rose" that I decided to use it as my base again! I like the look of the black with the pink. 

Here's the Review/Demo:

Here is what the stickers look like. Just a small sheet. 

Here's the link to purchase:

I used the skinny strips first and I cut them down to fit my nails. 

I just placed the sticker right onto my nail and pressed it down. These are super sticky so make sure you place them correctly because they don't come back up without messing up your base. 

I used scissors to cut the ends of the stickers off 

and curled them under my nails.

Then I used the bigger strips on my middle nails and thumbs. I place it on the sticker sheet like this so I don't touch the sticky side too much before placin it on my nail.

I placed it on my nail like this usin the sticker sheet as my guide

and cut it straight across to separate the strip.

Then cut the tips off like the rest of the nails

It was a little difficult to do this but I used my small brush and acetone to remove the excess sticker at the cuticle. I had to brush it quite roughly to get it come off. 

Then finished it all off with my top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

That's what it looks like up close. It took 3 coats of top coat before it would fully lay down and stay on my nail. 

And that's it!

Here's the video:

So overall I liked the look of these but again they were a pain to use. The small strips were much easier to use but they all still crinkled up on the sides. The tips never fully laid down, I had a couple nails peel up the next day. I really do like the look but they just aren't practical enough for me.

Born Pretty Store Review/Demo: Nail Stickers

Hey Y'all!

I have another Born Pretty Review. Today I'll be reviewin some nail stickers.

These are sparkly yellow stickers. They come in a nice cardboard case and on a sheet like below with a clear plastic sheet on top. 

They're a little bit tacky on top and a real sticker on the bottom.

You just peel it off the paper 

and lay it down on the nail. It was pretty difficult to line it up perfectly, I had to keep peelin it back up off my nail to re-situate it. 

Then you are supposed to file off the excess at the tip. That was pretty easy to do, once you finally get it laid down right. 

I finished it off with a top coat. I use Salon Perfect. 

And that's it. 

If you wanna see how I did the yellow and black stamp it's in the first part of this video:

So overall I didn't really like these nail stickers. In the end they look pretty good, but they were so difficult to work with and one ripped really easily. I just wouldn't personally use these again. They might work better with shorter nails, but it was just a pain for me.

Born Pretty Store Review/Demo

Hey Y'all!

Today I have another Born Pretty Store Review/Demo!

It's another stampin plate and water decal. 

Here's the demo:

I started with a previous mani.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPFdTaw6ARM

I'm reviewin Born Pretty Store stampin plate BP-42 with this geometric design.

http://www.bornprettystore.com/mixed-abstract-lines-nail-stamping-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp42-p-18785.html

and I'll be usin my Creative Shop Stamper Set. 

I start by puttin black polish onto the image. I used Fantasy Makers "Witch Black."

Then scrape the polish towards me with my creative shop scraper.

Pick up the image in a rollin motion with my stamper. Line up my nail and push into the stamper.

There's the image on the nail.

Clean up the stamper with a piece of tape.

 Use a small brush and acetone to clean up the excess polish on the skin. 

Next I'm reviewin these water decals. They have a leather/lizard like design. They come on a sheet like this and on the back has instructions on how to use.

http://www.bornprettystore.com/sheet-water-decals-full-stikers-unique-lizard-rhombus-print-full-nail-water-decals-p-17540.html

I cut them apart and remove the plastic cover and size it to my nail.

Then dunk it into some water and wait for it to separate from the paper backin.

Then line it up with your nail and smooth it on. I like to press it from the center to the outside of the nail and then wrap the ends under my nail. 

It'll look like this.

Then I use my small brush and acetone and gently press against the excess decal til it separates itself.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

And That's it!
