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.

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.

Ombre Lines

Hey Y'all!

Today I have an ombre line mani completely inspired by @rockyournails!

I loved it when I saw Mely post it and had to recreate it! 

She did a blue one and 

so I decided to do a purple one!

Here's How:

I started with a holographic purple base of Color Club "Eternal Beauty."

Then with a striper brush and dark purple polish (Sephora Formula X "Haphazard"), I begin makin lines or stripes startin at the cuticle. 

Every couple of lines should be broken lines. I draw about 4 lines of the dark purple.

Then I repeat this step with a medium purple (Sephora Formula X "Indelible"). I only added 3 lines of this color because I was runnin out of nail space.

Finally finish it up with the lightest purple (Salon Perfect "Lilacking Control"). I also only added 3 lines of this.

It will look somethin like this.

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

And that's it!

I love this so much! Mely came up with a great design! Be sure to check her out!

Girly Glitter Gradient

Hey Y'all!

I've got a GGG for ya! 

That's a Girly Glitter Gradient! 

I think I'll call em that from now on!

If you have it or have heard of the timehop app, you know that it shows you stuff you've posted throughout the past few years. I looked at mine the other day and saw a GGG I'd done 2 years ago and it instantly made me want to redo it! Weeeelll come to find out I no longer have the base polish I used so I went with the next closest color I had which was China Glaze "Peonies & Park Ave."

Then for the glitter gradient I sponged on some China Glaze "Ray-diant." I did a thicker coat by the cuticle and then with whatever was left on the sponge, I dabbed it down the rest of my nail for the gradient effect. 

Super easy design which is why I didn't do a tutorial. However if anyone wants one I will certainly do one. 

I just love how girly this is. I haven't done somethin like this in a long time. 

Hope y'all enjoyed this, thanks for stopping by!

Blue Watermarble

Hey Y'all!

After a week of hardly no nails I am back with a watermarble! 

I'm so glad I had those swatches of Polishtbh to share with y'all since I was not feelin too good all week. I am finally feelin like I might actually truly be gettin better from this crazy illness. 

I've been plannin this watermarble since my last pink one I did and I'm so excited to finally have it done! 

Here's How:

Start with a cup of room temperature water, nothin special just out of the tap. Also prepped my nail with tape and 1 coat of Salon Perfect "Cold As Ice," pastel blue.

Begin buildin your bullseye in the water. The colors I'm usin are, Salon Perfect "Cold as Ice," Avon "Vibe/Impression," and Sephora Formula X "Omni." 

This is my finished bullseye.

Then I take my needle and draw from the middle to the edge of the cup on both sides.

Then I drag from one side to the other side of the cup alternating sides in a criss cross like pattern.

It will look like this when you're done.

Pick the spot of the marble that you want and line your nail up.

Dip your nail slowly into the water

Cleanup the complete surface of the water with a qtip.

Then remove your nail slowly from the water.

Take off the tape

and cleanup any excess polish on the skin with a small brush and acetone.

My accent nail is China Glaze "Seahorsin Around," a textured polish.

Use your favorite top coat on your watermarble. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it. 

Here's the video:

I just looooove how this turned out! I love how the polish turned out a little wiggly it adds so much to the design! It's so fun doin these one color marbles I might try other colors soon!
