More Born Pretty Product Reviews

**All products were provided  for an honest review**


Anything you need to do your nails you can find at bornprettystore.com. The products are extremely well priced and they always have free world wide shipping!!!

I'm always looking for new nail art brushes, so I jumped at the chance to try this set. There are two striping brushes, a smaller detail brush and a flat head brush (great for clean up).


You can check out this brush set here.

I used the small detail brush to hand paint concentric circles on each nail.
I started with a base of Essie Style Cartel and used Alchemy Lacquers Naiad of the Spring to paint the circles. I added a rhinestone for a little bling.


The brushes were easy to manipulate and they cleaned up really well.  I love the flower handle so much!! It had a durable finish on it so it won't get ruined by acetone.

Shiny Disco Balls

One of the products I got from Born Pretty was an assortment of hexagonal sequins or GLEQUINS. This was my first time applying these and it was easy and hard at the same time. In order for the design to look really nice, you have to place the hexagons all facing the same way. Um yeah...these thing are teeny tiny. I probably could have used a monocle or something to help me out because in the end I just started putting them on there willy-nilly.



I originally wanted a black base, but then I decided to try to match the base with color of the glequin. This is Essie Chinchilly, my favorite gray color. I'm really happy with the way this looks. Next time I'll try a contrasting effect.


This is my left hand. My right hand is just painted with no glequins. I was too tired after this hand to start on the right. I've never done that before, but something tells me this won't be the last.

Do you ever leave one of your hands naked of nail art?
