Born Pretty Striping Tape Review

Hello everyone! I have another Born Pretty review for you! 

I was sent Striping Tape to try out, so without further ado, I present you my review.

Starting with the specifics, I tried color #10 which is white. All of the colors are really nice. The white can go with pretty much anything. I also think the gold looks really elegant (even though I haven’t tried it) Each color is $1.90 or $8.90 for all 12 colors. 

Born Pretty Store Gold Chain Review

       Hi guys I'm pretty far behind on my posts, but I have another Born Pretty review for you! When I received these chains I was really excited because I've seen other artists like Sara Le use them and make them look great. 

      

         First, I did a poppy design with regular Seche Vite top coat. I really like how the chains look with only top coat, so shiny!

       I got the Gold 1.6 mm chains. I feel like this is a perfect size. As you can see on my nails, the chain isn't overpowering or ridiculously huge. I really like the gold too. On the website it says the chain is 100 cm long. That's over 3 feet if my math is correct. This amount will definitely last you a while.

       Application: So to place the pieces on my nail, I first had to cut the chain. I wasn't sure how to go about this, but in the end, just regular scissors worked. I would recommend cutting it before you paint your nails so you don't mess them up. After I painted my second coat of polish, I took the individual nail sized piece of chain and placed it on the nail with tweezers. Honestly, this part is tricky. The chain doesn't like staying flat. After I did my second design with the chains, I got the hang of it and it wasn't too difficult. If you have trouble and get polish on the chain itself, you can clean it up with a Q tip or nail brush and nail polish remover. Very simple solution!

        To keep the chains in place, I simply used top coat. You could probably use nail glue also, but honestly just top coat is enough. The chains stayed like no other 3-d nail decoration I've ever used. I didn't have any trouble with them and I actually had to go and pry them off when I wanted a new design. 

    

    

     Here's the same design with matte top coat. I did both matte and glossy to show you how they look both ways. I really love matte nails but the glossy makes the chains look really good. Either way they really make your nails look fabulous.

         
   Here's my second design. These were inspired by Katrina. She has really awesome designs so definitely check her blog out!

          Picture of the same nails in regular top coat. This is a really bad picture and I don't remember taking it but it gets the point across.

   I highly recommend these. Once you get the hang of them, they're pretty easy to use and look awesome! I got tons of compliments on both of these designs. They stay on for days ( I had the floral design on from Friday night until Monday night and even then, the chains weren't coming off on their own) with just topcoat. 

         If you order them now, they're only $2.99 - Superb deal! Even at $5.61 it's a good deal! You won't find chains this small and perfect for nails anywhere else. Not to mention free shipping too! Use my coupon code XKL91 and get 10% off!

Born Pretty Rhinestones Review

Yay! I have another review for you guys on a product I received from the Born Pretty Store. I received these really cool rhinestones. I did two manicures to show you guys how versatile they are. 
          
           First, I did this floral mix manicure. I really love how it turned out and the rhinestones made it so much better. While I do admit that my middle finger is slightly ridiculous, it was still pretty cute. To apply the rhinestones, I used my handy dandy tweezers. They are a bit harder to apply than other decorations, only because they like to stay upside down when you try and pick them up. Other than that, I had no problems.

On the website, it shows a picture of the wheel of rhinestones. This picture is 100% accurate to the amount of rhinestones you are receiving. Not only that, but there's three sizes included. (As you can see on my pinky compared to my middle finger) Right now, these rhinestones are only $3.88. That's such a good deal, honestly. You won't find a better deal anywhere. And if you use my coupon code, it will be even cheaper! (Plus free worldwide shipping!)

The second manicure I did used another product I reviewed last time for Born Pretty. And those are the steel balls. I really love this combination together. It looks so classy and elegant. And the different sizes worked out well because I was able to use the smaller size on my pinky.

To get these to stay, I just placed them on my nails when they were wet. Once the polish was dry, I used one layer of top coat and they lasted a pretty good amount of time. They would probably last longer if you used nail glue. 

I think that's about all I have to say about these. They're seriously a good deal, you can't do much better. They add that extra cuteness to manicure without having to do too much. 

If you would like to order these, or anything else off Born Pretty Store, feel free to use my coupon code  XKL91 (I believe it has to be in all caps for it to work)
