Review and test : Born Pretty Store

Hi there ! 
A while ago i received a package from Born Pretty Store , they sent me some items for review :) I had such busy weeks lately , so i'm finally ready with my post ....
Born Pretty Store is well known for their affordable items and especially for nail art supplies . They are located in Singapore , i believe .
I've ordered a few times from them too after i got the review package , so i'm able to give you more info about shipping time as well .
So i want to say a HUGE thank you to Bern Pretty Store for sending me these items ! I'm really happy :)

This is what i've gotten :

A gorgeous Chameleon nail polish
A sheet of hollow stickers
A baggy of flat Chameleon Rhinestones , size 2.4 mm
A nail art wheel of different sizes rhinestones , silver 
And a sheet with Cat water decals , black option 244

 So as i said i also have ordered a few things myself after i received this package . 
Shipping to Belgium was $3 .... really i never paid so little for shipping , this is absolutely amazing !
One day later i got my shipping notification and it took about 4 weeks to delivery . Items were very well packed in bubblewrapping and i received everything in excellent condition .
So you need some patience for the package to arrive , but i don't mind that :)
Everything on their shop is very affordable , the chameleon polishes are a bit more expensive but well worth the money ! These are now on sale btw :) , so grab your chance . $5.99 instead of $15.88
SALE END on 31st May !

So i did this mani with a couple things of the review package ! Hope you like it :)

Items i've used :

OPI nail envy base coat - not shown in picture

OPI nail polish mini A Grape Affair (LE Coca Cola Collection)

Essence nail polish 193 Best Dressed (not sure if this is still available)

Born Pretty Store Chameleon nail polish #33 - sent for review

Moyou London stamping nail polish Key Lime

Born Pretty Store squishy dual stamper  - purchased by me

Born Pretty Store Image plate - purchased by me

Born Pretty Store Nail wheel with different sizes of rhinestones - sent for review

Born Pretty Store Hollow Stickers - sent for review

United Beauty Gel Touch Top Coat - not shown in picture 

The BPS Chameleon nail polish shifts from Purple to teal and i also saw a bit of a pink tint to it . It has different sizes of green glitter . You need to apply this over a dark base color . The polish itself was smooth to apply and dried fairly quickly!

I LIKE :)

 These are very sticky , so make sure that your nail polish is completely dry before you apply these on your nails . The image looked pretty after i applied the polish , not as crisp as i wanted it , but it looked pretty .

 I'm currently testing this out ... It's a Top Coat that you apply on top of any nail polish and all you have to do , is cure it for 60 sec in a LED lamp and then remove the tacky layer .

Your polish should be flawless for 10 days ... 

 I primed the stamper by using acetone and cleaned the plate with acetone 

The image transfered very nicely on my stamper without any issues , i had crisp lines and transfered on my nails beautifully !

Beautiful variety of different shapes , rounds , bows , flowers , squares ..

How i did it :

1 applied 1 coat of OPI Nail Envy Base Coat 

I applied 2 coats of OPI nail polish A Grape Affair on my thumbs , pinks and indexfingers

I applied 2 coats of Essence nail polish Best Dressed on my middle and ringfingers

Then i applied the BPS hollow stickers with the flowers on the nails i've painted with the OPI color and applied one , fairly thick coat of the BPS Chameleon nail polis #33 and removed the stickers immediately .

I stamped with Moyou Stamping polish Key Lime on my middle and ringfinger and used the flowers from the BPS image plate , i stamped with a pressing motion .

After all this i let my nails dry completely for an hour .

I topped everything off with United Beauty Gel Touch and on the nails where i've applied the chameleon colored flowers , i placed some of the little round rhinestones from the nail art wheel.

Next i've cured it for 60 sec under my LED lamp.

I've applied a second coat of this Gel Touch Top Coat to seal in my rhinestones.

Cleanse with a Gel Cleanser !

NOTD's Collection

A collection of NOTD's i did lately !

 The nailart is a nail sticker from KISS

Nail polish haul + swatches - part 2

Hi lovelies !

I'm such a bad girl .... i couldn't resist it to buy some MORE polishes ... and i'm still not done :D

Orly's Fowl Play is a repurchase ... i have a mini bottle of it , but i love this color so much , i had to buy a full size of it :D 
I like it on it's own ( you need 3 coats for full coverage ) , but i also like to layer it on a black or dark basecolor.
It think it was part of the "Birds of a Feather collection" . I bought it on Ebay for just $6,5 , which was a bargain ! 

I'm such a polish junkie :-/

I also wanted to try "Bourjois' Magic Nail Polish Remover for a very long time now . I came in my local drugstore and i just grabbed it . It's quite expensive in my opnion 10.99 €  . In the bottle is a sponge and you have to put your polished nail into that sponge . It's soaked with remover and after a second your polish should be removed from your nail with just a single twist in the sponge ?? Hmmm ... we shall see :D

On to the polishes ... here we go !

 Look how gorgeous "Galaxy" is , isn't it a beauty ?

The Bourjois "MAGIC Nail Polish Remover"

 Inside the bottle you can find a sponge 

NOTD : China Glaze Harvest Moon and OPI Black Spotted

A second mani with OPI's Black Spotted ! 

Depends on how thin you use Black Spotted , you always get a unique pattern on your nails !  

I really like this stuff !

What i used :

1 coat Orly Bonder

2 coats CG Harvest Moon

1 very thin coat OPI Black Spotted

1 coat Essie Good To Go

NOTD : OPI Black Spotted - Catrice Genius In The Bottle

It's been a very long time since i did an NOTD post

Today i have a fun one for you :)

OPI's The Amazing Spiderman Collection includes a special effect topper : OPI Black Spotted .

Sadly , it's Sephora France exclusive and prices on Ebay are going mental for this Black Spotted topper. I saw prices around 70 € . 

Sephora FR sells these for 13.9 € and i had to pay 9.95 € shipping ... so still less expensive than most Ebay prices ! Lucky me , Sephora FR ships to Belgium :D

Now on to the nails ;)

I used Catrice's Genius In The Bottle and Essence Topper You're A Goldmine

On top , the OPI Spotted polish

As you can see , my first attempt isn't so good ... but overall i was pretty happy with the result. 

It's important that you use a VERY thin layer and your colored polish has to be DRY for the best results. I used to much product on my pink and ringfinger.

 Left hand : pink and ringfinger failed here :)

 Right hand

Catrice Genius In The Bottle - Essence You're A Goldmine and OPI's Black Spotted.

Hope you all have an awesome weekend !
