Born Pretty Reviews That End With a BANG!

*Products provided for review*

We've got a ton of new Born Pretty Store products to show you today and we think you'll love them!

One product I chose were these cute and colorful flower water decals.  I seriously can't resist ordering water decals every time we do a review for Born Pretty.  Sorry if you are all sick of seeing them but I just love how easy they are!  

These springtime colors are just my style  They look great over my recently purchased Essie Go Ginza.  On my accent nail I actually cut out single flowers and placed them all over my nail.  These decals are super cute!

Flower Water Decals

Next up are creative french manicure tip guides.  The set I got are a zigzag pattern.  

ZigZag French Tip Guides

I used my favorite OPI shade Kiss Me I'm Brazilian.  After letting that dry I used the tip guide to stencil on the gold tip.  Then I used striping brushes to line it with white.  Pretty and funky!!  This is a summertime color combo that never gets old... coral and gold!

Last but not least... the BANG you have all been waiting for...

Nail Brush Set

I picked this set of liner brushes, which can be used for so much more than just stripes.  I did use them in the above mani for the white lining.  And then I had an idea...

BOOM!  POW!  Happy 4th of July!!!  How fun are these??? 

My pinky nail was painted red with Pure Ice Siren and then striped white with white acrylic paint using the long striping brush.  The rest of my nails were painted navy with OPI Dating a Royal.  The topper on my first two fingers is a thick and chunky patriotic topper from Hard Candy that should have been named something more patriotic than Soda Pop.  Then I used acrylic paints and the shorter brush to paint on the fireworks.  I did a few silver strokes to add some extra POW.

This was my first try at fireworks on my nails and I'm pretty impressed with myself.  What do you think??

We hope you all had a fun and safe 4th of July!

Influenster YSL VoxBox

*Products provided for honest review from Influenster

I was more than thrilled to be chosen to receive the YSL VoxBox from Influenster. It included the reformulated YSL Masacara Volume Effect Faux Cils.

I am definitely a lover of a GOOD mascara. I don't tend to indulge in expensive mascara anymore. I've been sticking to drug store brands more and more, so this was a real treat.

I have a very hard time finding a mascara that works for me. I have long, thick lashes (I know, poor me LOL), so a lot of mascaras are too gloopy or make my lashes stick together.

I really love this mascara. It doesn't do all the things that I hate in a mascara. It separates my lashes and elongates them without looking goopy and thick. I may have to splurge on this mascara in the future.

The retail value of this mascara is $30!! That's way over what I would usually pay, but I think it may be work it!

Thanks Influenster for giving me the opportunity to try this wonderful product!

Born Pretty Review Part 2: Stamping Galore

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

For part 2 of our review for Born Pretty Store, I have some new products to show you. I you haven't used BPS yet, then you must. They have amazing products you can't find, great prices AND FREE Worldwide shipping!!

I've only used nail foils once before. I'm not a huge fan of them because I don't think they last. However, they are super easy to apply and can be a great way to accent your nails.

The foils I used are Nail Foils in style A13. I didn't use a base color, but I wish I did.  You can see a lot of bald spots and that's never good.  These pictures were taken of my second try at this set of foils. I know there a rules when using and applying foils. I thought I followed them, but they didn't seem to hold.  The surface was tacky and I was able to pick them right off. Who doesn't love a good polish picking session?

Nail Foils only $1.99/per roll

I think something might be off with my foil glue. The foils themselves were great. 

Onto my favorite part! STAMPING! I have two different plates to review.

The first is called Radiating Pattern BP11. This plate is seriously cool.  These are designs I would never be able to do on my own.

Base color is Color Club Jackie O stamped with black.

While my stamping didn't come out great, I still LOVE this mani and this plate. I used a marshmallowy stamper which warped the design way too much. Next time I'll use a more firm stamper.

BP11 Stamping Plate $2.99

The second plate I used has a vintage theme, BPL007.  The thing I love about this plate is that there are 25 IMAGES!!

(pic courtesy of bornprettystore.com)

The base of this mani is my favorite mint, Zoya Neely stamped with SinfulShine Steel Reserve. I am a huge peacock feather fan, so I knew I had to give this image a shot.  I love this color combination too!

This is another image from the same plate.  This kind of image was harder for me to apply because of the straight lines.  I usually try to stick with images that don't have to be lined up perfectly. Case in point, this image. I need lots more practice!! I used a new Indigo Bananas polish as the base, Immortal Game (these pics do not do it justice), stamped with Sephora by OPI Social Climber (my favorite silver stamping polish!).

BPL007 Stamping Plate $5.99

Overall, I was very pleased with all of my selections. I am very rarely disappointed with the products I receive from Born Pretty Store.

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. 

Born Pretty Product Reviews- Water Decals and Stamping Plate

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

I was so excited to try these water decals.  Owls are everywhere these days, on clothing, pillows, jewelry... and now they're on your nails!  

How cute are they?!  I love the colors and the variety.  

The polishes I used for this mani are Sinful Shine Rendezvous and Essie Find Me An Oasis.  I used striping tape to create the striped design. 

The best thing about water decals is that they are so easy to apply.  So even if you have trouble with other kinds of nail art, you can still create an eye-catching design with little effort!  Check out Born Pretty's huge selection of water decals, you won't be disappointed!

Pretty & Polished Summer Fun Collection

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

Pretty & Polished Summer Fun Collection includes 6 holographic polishes. I have 4 of them here to show you.

Summer Love is a pinkish-red holographic shade.  Shown is 2 coats of polish and topcoat. The formula is perfect and went on smooth and even.

The holo in this polish is subtle and looks best in direct sunlight. 

Sandy Shores is a creamy neutral nude holographic shade.  Shown is 2 coats of polish with top coat. The formula for this was a bit thick, but had no streaking. 

The holo in this polish is very subtle. Even in the direct sunlight it is hard to see. This would be the perfect base for nail art or stamping.

I used these complimentary colors together to create this mani.

Sandy Shores base with a thick stripe of Summer Love down the middle. Gold square studs finish it off!

Lakefront is a gorgeous mix of blue and green holo with blue and green sparkles added. This is 2 coats of polish with top coat. The formula was perfect, even and smooth.

You can definitely see the sparkle in this polish. What a beauty!

Poolside is a bright blue holo. Shown is 2 coats of polish with top coat. 

The formula, again, was smooth and even. This polish almost looks like a shimmer in the bottle. I brought it into the sun and POW! There was the holo sparkles.

I used these two beautiful blues to create this fun mani. 

Chevron stickers helped to make the pattern and square silver studs to pull it all together.

I'm still wearing this now, 5 days later. I LOVE IT!!

Trust Fund Beauty Polish Review

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

Trust Fund Beauty is new to the polish world, so I was excited to get the chance to review some of their amazing polishes. If you are someone who likes polishes initially from its' name, this is the brand for you. Wait till you see some of these hysterical names.

First up is Champagne Problems, the perfect name for this champagne colored metallic polish.

The formula on this polish was very thin. This helped with application because it went on evenly and smooth, but it did pool into the cuticles if I wasn't careful. This is two coats of polish with top coat.

I really like this shade. It has just enough gold in it that it's not too overwhelming for a full manicure. The little metallic sparkles give this polish the perfect shimmer.

Nip Slip is a shimmery cool pink with magenta undertones. This is a unique shimmer pink polish I am excited to add to my collection. 

The formula on this polish was perfect. It didn't streak like most shimmer polishes. This is two coats of polish with top coat.

I'm not usually into shimmer polishes, mostly because the application is horrific. This polish exceeded my expectations in every way. The color is bright and again, NO STREAKING!

Rich Bitch is a beautiful red with pink undertones and a touch of shimmer. 

The formula was great! It went on perfectly smooth. This is two coats of polish with top coat. This is a semi-sheer polish, so I think I could have used a third coat. 

I absolutely love the hint of shimmer in this polish. I'm not a red polish kinda girl, but there is something different about this red. It is bright and shiny. Some reds are dull to me. This polish was the opposite!

Next up are the fabulous holos of the group. This is Don't Be Shady, a light holographic grey.

This polish went on super smooth with no dragging. Shown is 3 coats of polish with top coat.

Look how SHINY and SPARKLY. Tons of holo pigment to go around!

There's nothing like a holo MACRO! OOOOO.....AAAAHHHHH!

Like Royalty is a holographic royal purple. 

Again this polish went on super smooth. Shown is 3 coats of polish with top coat.

The holo in the polish did not disappoint. It has lots of sparkle and the color is unique to any I have seen.

MACRO!

What are your thoughts on these polishes? Do you just love the names?
