Born Pretty Store 3 Color Thermal Color Changing UV Gel Polish Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the 3 Color Thermal Color Changing UV Gel Nail Polish from BornPrettyStore. I have a couple of the 2 color thermal gel polishes and I am curious to see how the 3 color polish shifts. Let's take a look at the bottle:
 I think this is the standard thermal gel bottle they are using. I really like the colors of it!
Let's see what the polish looks like:
When I opened the bottle, it was a very dark purple. It is supposed to have 2 different shades of pink in it as well, as it changes. I can't wait to see the change!

I painted 3 thin coats of polish on my nails, curing after each coat. Then I sealed it in with Born Pretty's No-Wipe top coat. This is my favorite No-Wipe top coat. I have only tried a few different brands, but I really like theirs! After I cured my top coat, I could see the two shades of pink, but the purple was gone! My hands are always pretty cold, so I thought my polish was broken LOL! Here is how they looked with the two shades of pink:
This polish is very pretty, and seems like it is more temperature-sensitive than the other two thermal polishes I have. 

Still convinced my polish was broken, I decided to leave it on for a few days. I wanted to see if I could figure out how to get all 3 colors to show up at the same time. In the process, I was able to see the dark pink and the purple together. I saw this after I came in from outside. It has been pretty cold outside the last few days. Here are the two darker colors together with a slight touch of the light pink at the cuticles:
After I got this picture, I got an idea!!!

I ran my hands under very warm water to get them as warm as I could (they are ALWAYS cold). Once my hands were nice and warm, I stuck my hand in the freezer. It was the perfect idea. I finally got all 3 colors to show up! Here they are:
I noticed that the lines weren't quite as straight and uniform as they were with the 2 color thermal polish, but I really like it!

Overall, I really like this thermal polish. It seems much more temperature sensitive than any other thermal polishes I have tried, so my nails are changing colors a lot more often, even with me having cold hands. If you are into thermal polishes, you should definitely give this polish a try! I chose this color because it was a great color combination for Valentine's day, but they are some of the colors I wear on a regular basis, and I can't wait to wear this one again! This polish comes in 12 different colors. The color I showed you is BP-06 Butterflies In Love (I also love that they named them all!!) No matter what your favorite color is, there is a polish that will probably include that color. You can find this polish on the Born Pretty Store website, here. They also have tons of other great nail art supplies. Don't forget to use my coupon code for 10% off any regular priced items.

Born Pretty Store Valentine's Day Stamping Plate BP-L001 Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the new Valentine's Day stamping plate BP-L001 from BornPrettyStore. I love hearts and flowers so this seemed like the perfect plate. Let's take a look:
These images are so pretty! I love the first two in the top row!!!

These images all stamped perfect:



 For my first design, I painted my index, middle, and pinky fingers with Ruffian Red. It was The brightest red I could find in my collection, and perfect for a Valentine's Day design. My thumb and ring fingers were painted with OPI Alpine Snow. Then I topped them all off with one coat of Seche Vite. Here is how they looked at this point:
 

Next, I used Mundo de Unas stamping polish in white (over the red nails) and reddish (over the white nails). I chose to use two different images. I used the second image in the top row, and the last image in the bottom row. After I stamped the images on my nails, I sealed my design in with one more coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:
The red's aren't a perfect match, but they are close. I really like this. I wore this design for a couple days :)

For my next design, I painted my index and pinky fingers with Born Pretty Store's Platinum Bling 
gel polish.  You can read my review of that polish here. I sealed those in with No Wipe topcoat. I painted my middle and ring fingers with Sinful Colors Candy Gram, and topped those two fingers off with Seche Vite. I made a couple decals using the heart image in the bottom row on the stamping plate, and filled in the hearts with Sinful Colors Mad About Hue, Sinful Colors Pink Smart, OPI Alpine Snow, and Ulta Nail Lacquer Deck the Halls. Once my decals were dry, I put them on my nails and sealed them in with one more coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:

I like how this one turned out. It is very bright, sparkly, and fun!

Overall, this plate is a perfect addition to any collection. It has a nice variety of different rose patterns, as well as some unique images that really stand out. Every one of these images stamped very easily with regular nail polish, and stamping with stamping polish was a breeze! As with all their plates, this plate is etched perfectly! You can find this plate on the Born Pretty Store website, here. They also have tons of other great nail art supplies.

Born Pretty Store Chameleon Pearl Stamping Polish Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the new chameleon pearl stamping polish from BornPrettyStore.This stamping polish caught my eye because it is different than any other stamping polish I have seen. It reminding me a little bit of the pigment stamping, but much easier! Let's take a look at the bottle:
 
You can see a little bit of a shift in the bottle, but the green is the dominant color coming through so far. I can't wait to see how this looks stamped!

For my first design, I painted my nails with Color Club Where's the Soiree? Then, I sponged OPI Alpine Snow over the tips. I sealed this in with one coat of Seche Vite. I was so excited to start stamping, I forgot to get a picture before I stamped. I used plate BPL-024 and stamped all my nails with the daisy image in the bottom, right corner. I finished this design off with one more coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:
 
I really liked the way it looked over the black, but the white tip idea looked better in my head. It didn't turn out how I pictured it would. It does give you an idea of what it looks like over both black and white. Since I wasn't happy with it, I decided to start over.

Since I loved the way this stamping polish looked over black, I decided to paint all my nails with Color Club Where's the Soiree? again, and then one coat of Seche Vite. Once again, I used plate BPL-024. I chose another image that has a lot of stamped area so I could get the full chameleon effect. I chose the third image in the top row from the left. Once I stamped all my nails, I sealed in my design with one more coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:
 
I absolutely LOVE this!!! You can see the green to purple shift and it is amazing!!!

Overall, this stamping polish is over the top! There is one other color I definitely need to add to my collection. When I stamp with regular nail polish, I find I have a hard time because it dries too quickly. With this polish, I did not have any issues. It did not seem to dry too fast for me to pick it up and stamp it. It was very easy to work with. I also tested it over a fake nail to see if it would apply smooth and evenly as a nail polish. It worked great! (I was so excited to stamp with it that I forgot to make an accent nail painted with the stamping polish). If you are into nail stamping, and like the chameleon look, or even something that just stands out, you should consider this polish. It comes in 5 different colors (I chose BPU06 The Milky Way). You can find this stamping polish on the BornPrettyStore website here. They also have tons of other great nail art supplies.
