Hi guys! A couple of months ago I was contacted by someone from Born Pretty Store to do a review on a couple of items of my choosing. If you have ever been to the Born Pretty Store website you know that choosing two things is extremely difficult. Born Pretty Store sells a variety of things including jewelry, nail polish and nail art items, nail tools, makeup, there is even a section for acrylic and gel nail users. They offer free worldwide shipping and the prices are dirt cheap. The only thing is it may take awhile to get to you. They ship from China so depending on customs where you live it could take a couple of weeks. More than worth it i'd say! 

I decided to choose bows and studs for this review. 

First up I used the black plastic bows with a little rhinestone in the middle to give them that extra bit of sparkle. ;)

I actually did two mani's with the bows because I wasn't thrilled with the first set. 

The first one I used 

The plan was to use the black as my main color and the silver for accent nail with the bow. Then with the other nails I added Leopard Print with the white and silver. 

I really loved the bow but I wasn't so thrilled with the print and bow together so I decided to simplify things. 

 And ended up with this! This is Zoya Wednesday with an unnamed Color Club Silver. I wish I knew the name of that color club because it is the most perfect silver glitter to go with Wednesday! I liked this much better and I feel like you were really able to see and appreciate the bow.

And another because I just love them so much!

The bow was very easy to work with and apply. I just put a layer of Seche Vite on then stuck the bow on and let it dry. I did only wear these for a few minutes so when I wear them again I will add a dab of nail glue to be sure that they will stick on for awhile. 

For funsies I added some silver polka dots. Kinda love them! 

Next I tried out the gold studs. 

The blue is OPI Eurso Euro. I loved the blue and gold combo. The studs were very easy to work with. Like the bows above I layered Seche Vite on top and stuck the studs on. I wore these for a couple of hours and most of them popped off. LOL! So I would definitely advise using some nail glue. 

I am very satisfied with the items I received from Born Pretty Store. Both of these items are very inexpensive and you get a good amount to work with. 

If you are interested in trying either of these items here are the links.

OPI Can't Find My Czechbook and Milani Sprinkles

Hi guys!

I'm here today with a couple more untrieds. Go me! So far this week every post has been with an untried. :)

OPI Can't Find My Czechbook is from the Spring 2013 Euro Centrale Collection. This was one of the few I liked. I think I just have a soft spot for sky blues. Milani Sprinkles is from the 2013 Retro Glam Collection. I love black and white glitter toppers so I was super excited to receive this one in a swap package.

I love the black and white glitter over the blue. It's such a pretty combo. Normally I hate bar glitter but surprisingly I didn't mind them so much. I love the large hex glitter. But I did have to fish that one out. I wish more of them came out of the bottle. This is two coats of OPI and two super thin coats of Sprinkles. Both were very easy to work with. 

I hope you guys have an awesome day! 

OPI DS Indulgence

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday!

I do a lot of swaps I even have my own monthly swap group because I love swapping so much! But, because of all of these swaps my untried pile is huge! So I've been slowly trying to work my way through it and by doing that I discovered a gorgeous polish that I never thought I would like.

OPI DS Indulgence is a gorgeous red with gold shimmer. Take a look at the bottle.

Look at all that gold! 

I love this polish it reminds me a bit of fire. I dig it. I can't believe it's taken me so long to try it! In the bottle it looked a little orange to me. But once I got it on the nail it was most definitely more of a berry colored red.

This is my second DS polish and so far I haven't been disappointed.

What do you think? Do you need Indulgence in your stash?

Quick note. If you are interested in joining a monthly swap group feel free to contact me. You can shoot me an email (found in the contact tab) or message me on Facebook here. We are always looking for more members. All that is required is a wishlist, and some sort of verifiable swap feedback. International is welcome!

Have a great day!

OPI DS Extravagance

Hi guys! I hope you had an awesome weekend and made it through Monday OK. ;)

Yesterday I noticed that I hit a huge milestone on Facebook.... 1k likes!!! Well 1,040 to be exact! I am so so so excited about it! I never thought I would even get 100 likes so to have over a thousand is mind blowing. I am so humbled by it. There are a TON of blogs out there so to have 1000+ people who have taken the time out of their day to like my page is amazing. Thank you all so much!

Definitely plan on seeing an awesome giveaway soon to celebrate!

Today I have a longtime lemming that was gifted to me in a swap. OPI DS Extravagance.

Take a look!

Ahhh so pretty. It's a pinkish purple scattered holo and one of my favorite OPI shades. I think they knocked it out the park with this one! When I opened my package and saw this polish I screamed. LOL I really screamed. I was so excited!

What do you think? Do you need this one in your collection?

Have an awesome Tuesday!

Giving Flowers a try!

Hi guys! I'm pretty proud of this manicure. I have always wanted to try out flowers. But I have been to scared to try. I'll let you guys in on a secret. I STINK at art. I can't even draw a straight line. LOL! So when I see anything that isn't zebra, leopard or polka dot print, I immediately get discouraged. I was apart of this weekly challenge; It's sort of like the 30 days challenge but revamped and the topic was flowers. Now I could have taken the easy way out and threw some flower rhinestones on and called it a day but I decided to watch some YouTube videos and try my hand at them. Imagine my surprise when I discovered how easy flowers can be!! Here is what I did.

All it took was a base coat of OPI Jade Is The New Black, Kleancolor Neon Yellow, Kleancolor Black and a dotting tool. How awesome do they look!? To be my first time I was pretty happy with what I did. This will probably go on the favorites list. What do you guys think?

Have a wonderful day! Ciao!
