Sparkle In The Fall ~ Product Review ~ BornPrettyStore*




Hello there lovelies! I'm thrilled to be bringing fresh new reviews for you all and to give a few style and item ideas for the autumn/winter months. BornPretty is an amazing store online which sells all things from nails to home and garden wares; I've enjoyed viewing the website and getting ideas for upcoming looks at an affordable price. This review is based on two Nail products which really caught my eye!

On the Left we have a Purple Holographic Nail Varnish and to the right is a Rhinestone flat back wheel with different sized decorations.

All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.

----------------------------------------------

Purple Holographic Holo Glitter Nail Polish 6ml


  • A 6ml sized product which is quite on the small side but a little of this varnish goes a long way!
  • The packaging is chic but with limited wording to it, yet I do like how both the logo and product size including the website is mentioned in a bold font easy to read.
  • For the varnish itself I was pleasantly surprised with the effect, It was my first holographic nail polish so I didn't know how much of an impact it could give overall; I felt that the soft purple shade was a perfect tone for the rainbow blast of glitter to stand out.
  • This is a long wearing varnish that remained on the nails up to a week before I noticed any signs of chipping.
  • I would recommend 2-3 coats of this polish per nail on top of a basecoat, or a 1 coat layer over another varnish shade would be ideal for added sparkle to any manicure!
  • The consistency of the polish wasn't at all thick or too runny, with no noticeable streaks through the application.
  • Overall I adore this nail effect and I hope Bornpretty would make a larger sized version in the future!

2mm/3mm/4mm/5mm Mini Colorful Rhinestone wheel


  • This is a perfect tool to use when you want to add any rhinestones to your nails, whether they'd be natural or artificial they adhere to the surface with a simple basecoat.
  • I love the fact that the rhinestones come in a variety of sizes from small to large and set out in their own compartments, making it easier to select with the turn table cover that reveals each section at a time.
  • The rhinestones are flat backed which helps them cling to the polish better with a topcoat to seal them into position once the base coat has dried. 
  • When the light catches, the hues of the rhinestones really show through at different angles, almost a rainbow effect which looks beautiful.
  • With having the 4 different sizes there is something for any nail shape and size so the creations you can make from these are endless!
Experimenting with the rhinestones!

I'd love to hear your thoughts about these products or any you may have seen from Bornpretty's website! Enjoy creating works of art on your nails and stand out this season!

Cath Kidston Inspired Water Decal Nail-Art ~ BornPretty*



Step by Step and review of
BornPretty Water Nail-decals


Hello there beauties! Hope you're all having a great week! I was contacted by BornPretty, a company which sells a wide range of products from nail art to Home and garden wear; To review their water nail-decals for you all. Of course as a adorer of nail art I happily accepted the opportunity and will show you step by step on how to use these decals and create a look inspired by the prints of Cath Kidston.


Water nail-decal application step by step

1- Firstly I chose my base varnish, for this look I used MAC's Glamour Daze - In the Limelight, which is a cool toned mint shade with a cream finish. I applied this to the nail and allowed it to dry evenly, I found two coats left a even base cover to apply the decals onto.



2-  After the varnish was dry, I then removed the nail decal sheet from the packaging, ensuring then I had a small sized dish to place in cool water which will be used for the application.


3- I then used a pair of scissors to cut out the desired parts that I would be using for the nail. In this case I cut out two of the patterns, one large and the other was smaller. I then peeled off the sheet and carefully dipped the first pattern into the small dish of water for around 10-15 seconds.




4-  After the decal is moistened I placed the patterned side onto the nail, which resulted to the paper backing to easily glide off which can then be disposed, leaving the pattern on the nail and to then lightly dab the excess water off with a paper towel.


5- Repeat the same process with the smaller decal ensuring all water has been absorbed from application of the nail.


6- Once you're happy with the decal's position and it has been patted dry, the last step is to seal in the design using a top coat varnish! Allow for it to fully dry and then the final look is complete.

I found using these decals very simple and such an easy go-to product whenever you want something quick and effective. At the affordable price with a wide arrange of designs and colours, BornPretty will keep you on-top of the nail trends every season.
Delivery of the product was quick and sent within simple packaging with no breakages or complications. I would highly recommend this website to anyone and if you like these step by step posts then do let me know within the comments section for more of them to come!
