Born Pretty Stickers & Scented Top Coat

Hello, darlings!

Late post tonight, I hope you don't mind ;)  Today I have some items that I received for review from Born Pretty Store  (*disclaimer)...



I was really excited when I got this in the mail!  I don't know if you can tell, but there are flowers in the scented top coat... it's adorable!!  When I asked for this polish, I knew that the scent would be sent at random (meaning you don't get to pick the scent you will recieve).  This one is "Mint".  When dry, it smells like light flowers to me.  It's very faint and quite pleasant :)

Onto the stickers!


 I ended up wearing these for 2 days and I really liked them.  The design is super cute and the stickers are a cinch to apply.  Downside... they're not real polish, they're more like vinyl.  I eventually had to take them off because they started lifting at the tips and sides.  Kind of a bummer :\  But I got lots of compliments while wearing them and they brightened my mood whenever I glanced at them so it was an overall good nail experience haha.


The scented top coat ($1.99) and rainbow stickers ($3.99) can be found at Born Pretty's online store.  Not only is there free international shipping but if you use code QZL91 you can receive 10% off of your purchase :D




Wishing you all the best!

Until next time!

Born Pretty Drop Studs

Good evening, lovelies!

As promised, here is my second product review of the day!


Born Pretty, drop studs, review, Julep, Blakely, Kylie, Sephora by OPI, Spark-tacular, Orly, Dazzle, nails, nial art, nail design, mani
 Colors Used: Julep - Blakely, Kylie, Sephora by OPI - Spark-tacular!, Orly - Dazzle

I was contacted by a rep from the Born Pretty Store about a month ago and it was an OMG moment.  A lot of the major nail blogger that I admire have done a plethora of reviews for Born Pretty and I was definitely taken aback.  I decided to start with something simple to review...

I applied these studs the same way I do any other stud, with clear/top coat.  I put a dot of top coat down with my dotting tool, apply the stud and then top it with a coat of top coat.  Once it's dry, it is stuck.  Like really stuck!  I have not lost a stud yet using this method.  And I have no fear of ruining my natural nails with nail glue :)

  As you can see above, these studs are pretty flat.  No pointy edges to snag on anything.  This is a plus for me, because I'm totally a weirdo when it comes to textures and if something sticks up on my nail too much, I freak out lol.  These studs have a lot of potential when it comes to nail art.  I kept this mani simple to showcase the stud, but I definitely see art deco in it's future ;)

 Name: Drop Stud Rhinestone Acrylic UV Gel Nail Art Decoration #2
Item #: 6880
Quantity: Approx. 150 pcs
Cost: $4.99 USD
These studs came be found here at Born Pretty's store!
How do you feel about studs?  Something you'd rock or something that would drive you crazy??
Until next time!
