Born Pretty Store UR SUGAR Holo Nail Vinyl Stickers Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the UR SUGAR Holo Nail Vinyl stickers from BornPrettyStore. This set I got came with 5 sheets of vinyls. Let's take a look at the vinyls first:

 

 

 

 

They are super holo and shiny!

For my first design, I painted all my nails with one coat of white. Then I used Sinful Colors Pink Smart. I used 3 thin coats to make this polish look even and opaque. I topped that with Seche Vite. Next, I put on the nail vinyls. Once I had the vinyls on, I painted my nails black.

I peeled the vinyl off my pinky and sealed it in with one coat of Seche Vite. Then decided I should take a picture before I peeled them all off. The vinyls were a tad too short for my nails, so I carefully continued the line to my cuticle as evenly as I could.

Once I peeled all the vinyls off, I sealed the rest of the nails with Seche Vite. Here is how they look:

These vinyls were pretty easy to peel off, they didn't leave any sticky residue, and the lines seemed to be pretty crisp

For my next design, I painted all my nails with 3 thin coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Cinna-snap. It is a deep red, perfect for fall. I then used one coat of Seche Vite. Here is how they look so far:

Once that was completely dry, I painted my nails with a matte gel top coat from Born Pretty Store (I never did a review on this top coat, but WOW! It is my new go-to matte top coat. My nails looked so smooth, soft, and almost looked like velvet. Even my husband commented on how matte and amazing they looked). You can find that matte top coat on Born Pretty's website here (5mL)and here (10mL). Here is how my nails look now:

Nothing says fall like a deep red matte :)

I have always wanted to try doing a design with matte and glossy top coats. I thought these vinyls were the perfect opportunity to try it. I placed the vinyl in the center of my nail, painted clear polish over it, and peeled the vinyl off. I like the way it looks, but I think I need to use a different clear polish or top coat. I think the one I used was a bit too thin. Here is my final look:

 

Overall, I really like these vinyls. They are pretty thin. I struggled at first getting them off the backing, but with a little patience and some pointy tweezers, they came right off. The only other issue I had was some of my nails have a decent curve to them. It took me a couple tries to get the vinyl to lay down flat enough that the polish wouldn't run under it. But again, with a little bit of patience, it wasn't a huge issue at all. I would defintely buy these in more designs (they have a bunch!) Some of the designs were pretty unique, which i really liked about them. The set I got included 5 different sheets. You can find this set on the BornPrettyStore 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 Chameleon Unicorn Matte Effect Nail Powder Review

In this post, I will be reviewing some Chameleon Unicorn Matte Nail Powder from BornPrettyStore. When I first saw the container, I thought it looked VERY similar to several other powders I have. Let's take a look at the powder first:

 Doesn't it look a lot like most of the other light, shimmery powders? Let's open it up!

Since I can't really tell what effect it will have, I wasn't overly excited about this powder. At first. Like most of my powders, I need to see what it looks like over a few different colors so I can get an idea of what to do with it.

I started out by painting my index finger with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Re-teal Therapy, my middle finger was Sinful Colors Go Go Boots, my ring finger was Sinful Colors Midnight Blue, and my pinkie was Sinful Colors Pink of Me. Then I topped them all with Seche Vite. Here's what they look like so far:

Once that was nice and dry, one nail at a time, I put on a coat of No Wipe top coat, cured it, and wiped it with rubbing alcohol. Then I rubbed a thin layer of powder into my top coat. Once I was happy with the results, I moved on to the next nail. Here is each color topped with powder:

This is a tough choice. I really liked the purple and the blue. I decided to go with the blue since that one showed the biggest change in polish color. Here are my nails painted in Midnight Blue, and topped with Seche Vite:

In this next picture, I applied the powder on my middle and pinkie fingers so you can see how much of a change there was:

I love the effect the powder has on the blue polish!

I finished applying the powder and took another picture so you could see what the powder looks like matte first:

 In this one, you can see the purple on my index finger, and some on my middle fingers, and the blue effect on my middle fingers and pinkie. 

Let's add some top coat so you can see this powder glossy as well:

 I like it both ways, but over the blue, I prefer the matte look. What do you think?

To finish my look, I decided to stamp my ring finger with a flower from Born Pretty Store plate BP-L011. I stamped with Born Pretty Store stamping polish in light blue. You can see my review of that polish here. I added one more coat of No Wipe top coat over my stamp to seal it in. Here is my final look

Overall, this powder really surprised me! I am super impressed with it, and it is definitely close to the top of my favorite powders list. If you also enjoy powders and chameleon nails, I would highly recommend this powder. You get a ton of powder in the container and for an awesome price!!! Don't pass this one up! If you purchase all 4 colors, you get a deal you almost can't refuse!! And they are all very pretty! You can find this chameleon powder on the BornPrettyStore website here. This powder comes in 4 different colors. The color I chose was #2. 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 Clear Multi-Size Flat Bottom Rhinestones Review

In this post, I will be reviewing some clear flat-bottom rhinestones from BornPrettyStore. These rhinestones come in multiple sizes: 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm. As soon as I saw these rhinestones, I knew exactly what I wanted to try. First, here are the rhinestones:

 Even though they are clear, they reflect some blues and greens, which is what made me like these so much. They are different that the plain colored rhinestones.

To start off my design, I painted all my nails except my ring finger with Sinful Colors Mesmerize. On my ring finger, I wasn't sure what color to use, so I decided on Sinful Colors Mad About Hue (which is a light purple/lavender color). I topped this off with Seche Vite. Once my nails were nice and dry, I used NYC Matte Me Crazy topcoat, to matte the dark purple. On my ring finger, where I am going to put the rhinestones, I got the idea to use gel topcoat so that I could easily move the rhinestones where I wanted them and not have to worry about my polish drying in the process. I applied one coat of regular gel topcoat, and used an orange stick dipping the end in a little bit of water to pick up the rhinestones and place them where I wanted them. I didn't realize how long it took to put all these little stones all over your nail. Once I got to the tip, I did have a bit of trouble getting full coverage with the rhinestones. Once I was happy with my placement, I cured my gel top coat for the recommended time. Here is how it looks:

 Overall, I am pretty happy with how this turned out. I think with a little more practice, I will be able to get it down much easier. After I finished this design and took my pictures, I wish I would have put one stone on each of the dark purple nails. I think that would have tied the design together a bit better.

Here is a macro shot of these beauties on my nail:

I love how many colors these rhinestones pick up. They are very pretty!!!

Overall, I think these rhinestones are great. Having multiple sizes in one container is very handy; I like not having to buy multiple sizes separately. I love the color of these stones. They are very unique and different than the average rhinestones. And I didn't have any trouble with placement, other than inexperience. I would recommend these rhinestones to anyone who uses any type of rhinestones! I know they are very different than any other stones I have in my collection. You can find these rhinestones on the BornPrettyStore 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.
