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.

Halloween MADNESS!!

I usually leave the painstaking nail art for holidays and special occasions. Halloween seems to be the holiday where people go completely bonkers for spooky nail art. I love seeing all of the different ideas and themes people come up with.

This year I decided to do a skittle mani, if you will, featuring some spooky Halloween fun!




I started with a base I thought would go with all of the ideas I had. I chose to put Picture Polish Aurora (GASP!) over a medium purple jelly.  The effect of these together is perfect!


I used acrylic paint and a thin nail art brush to paint on the black cat, haunted house, bats and ghost. This was the first time I did something this detailed on my nails (without using a decal or stamping).  I have to say I was quite impressed with the result.  I know with practice I will gain better brush control and be able to do even more.

We would love to see your Halloween nails!! Please post them to our Facebook page so we can see your masterpieces!


Happy Halloween!
