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. 

Here's the link if you wish to purchase:

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.

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

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.

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!

Born Pretty Store First Impression Review

Hey Y'all! 
I have a new Born Pretty Store First Impression Review for ya! 
I have a stampin plate and a water decal to share with y'all! 
This is the design I came up with. I'm actually wearin this design tonight to the rodeo! 

Let's get into each product and how they worked for me. I'll have the links to where you can purchase these at the bottom of this blog and there's also a 10% off code.

The stampin plate is BP21. It's round and it has 4 larger designs on it. I really like the size of the designs as my nails are gettin longer and I'm havin a harder time gettin stamps to fit. The back is white and says "BornPrettyStore" on it. 

For the design I started with a dark brown polish, Pure Ice "I'll Never Tell."

Then I used this design on the plate.

Also my creative shop stamper set.

I used a gold polish, Confetti "Debutante," to stamp with. I placed the gold onto the plate.

Then used the scraper to scrape the polish towards me. I find it easier at that angle.

Then I picked up the image with my stamper in a rollin motion.


Next I lined up my nail with the image and pressed my nail into the stamper.

To clean your stamper use a piece of tape to remove the excess polish.

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

And that's the stampin plate. It worked great! No problems pickin up the image. 

Now for the water decal. They come like this in a whole sheet tho. I forgot to take a full pic before I cut them up. On the back is instructions on how to use them as well.

So I cut the ones out that I wanted to use and removed the plastic film on top.


Then you'll need a little cup of water to dip the decal into. I swirled it around a little just to help release it from the backin paper.

Next you need to remove it from the paper. The easiest way I found was to slide it off the side. Sorry it's blurry the picture wasn't focusin.

Then you match the decal up to your cuticle and place it on your nail.

You have to play with it a little bit to get it to fully smooth out. Then I tucked the excess under the tip of my nail. 


The instructions say to file the excess off, but I found it easier to use a small brush with acetone to melt it away. 

I also melted off a little bit of the excess near the cuticle.

Lastly use top coat to seal it in.

And here is the finished design.

Here's the video:

More pics of the design:




Overall I really love the way these products work. I don't have many stampin plates so it was fun to be able to review a couple of those. The plate was great and had no problems and the water decal was relatively easy to use as well. I really love the designs on both these products and had fun testin em out! 
Hope y'all like this first impression/review. 

Here's the links to both products:
Stampin Plate: $2.99

Water Decal: $1.99

Also I have a 10% off code: ASQW10 
I make no money off the code it's just to save you money! 

I hope y'all will check this store out. The products are great and the prices are good. It does take a few weeks to receive dependin on where you live but it's so worth it.
