Born Pretty Store Pink Flower Filigree Water Decals

PRESS SAMPLE
Today's mani is a sky blue and silver gradient embellished with Pink Flower Filigree Water Decals from Born Pretty Store.  There are 15 water decals in the pack of gorgeous pretty pink flowers and filigree swirls.  Next time I use them I'll apply over a pale creme polish so the decals photograph better.  In real life the decals are very clear but in my photos the camera flash bounces off the silver polish, washing out the decal.  Never mind, always learning!
If you've not tried water decals before, give them a go, simply soak in a little water, remove from the backing paper, apply to your painted nails and seal with top coat - done!  Check out my video below for a demonstration.
If you like water decals or want to get into water decals more, check out the Facebook group I've just created called Wonderful Water Decals. To the pics!!!!

Nails Inc Old Queen Street

Nails Inc Old Queen Street is an oldie but a goodie.  I do love a shimmer polish, and this is an ivory with gold shimmer, it reminds me of an oyster lustre.  Perfectly subtle, simple yet elegant.  This baby took 3 coats on my ridged nails.  And I can't remember where I got this beauty from, it was either Ebay or a lucky dip from Nails Inc - lucky me!  If you like your whites I think you'll like this in your colletion.

Pointed Chevron Vinyl Nail Stencils from Sparkly Nails

PRESS SAMPLE
Yesterday's cream mani has been souped-up with some blue & lilac polish and chevron vinyls/stencils.  I used 2 of the stencils together on my thumb, index & middle nails to create a deep chevron.  For my ring nail I put the stencils point to point to create a cross, and used single vinyls on my pinky.  And I'm sure I can think of more ways to use them to decorate my nails.  The Chevron Vinyl nail stencils are from Sparkly Nails and they have a neat selection of vinyl packs in squiggle, spike, stripe, zig zag and more so go check them out.  There are 54 Chevron vinyls per pack and at only £1.25 are a bargain.

Nails Inc Upper Street

This is the original Nails Inc Upper Street, a teal creme not the latest Pop Art effect, which actually would look good over the top of this.  I must have got it from Ebay as it's one of the old style bottles with the hands around it.  It was a little thin so this is three coats.  It was actually quite glossy without top coat but I've applied Seche Vite.  It's a lovely colour and if you're into your greens/teals/turquoises you must try it.  To the pics!........

Born Pretty Store Cocktail Ring

Here's the second of my costume jewelry rings from Born Pretty Store and I'm just as delighted with this ring as the first - see my previous post here.   The ring has a silver tone band with an orange oval centred stone surrounded by clear rhinestones.  It's called orange but I would call it champagne.  It's very pretty, very sparkly in the sunshine and certain lighting, comfortable to wear and I can't stop admiring it on my finger....oh and I forgot to mention.....it's incredibly cheap!  It looks a lot more expensive than it is, and I'm really pleased with it, I'm wearing it and looking at it now as I'm writing this post.  The ring comes in 4 colours - orange, red, blue & clear (called white).  This ring comes in 2 sizes which I had to look up on an international size converter, however the size I ordered fits perfectly (size 7 = UK size O).  The ring is described as silver plated but I can't guarantee that.   Lovely delicate cocktail ring which I'm so pleased with I've gone an ordered another ring from Born Pretty Store.  Check out my video and photos below, for the money I think it's pretty amazing!

Born Pretty Store BB Cream - 45ml SPF 30

I'm a tad confused with the difference between a BB Cream, a CC Cream and good old fashioned foundation.  I do know that BB stands for Beauty Balm and encompasses a foundation, moisturiser & sun screen all in one.  So here's my own personal review on my very first BB Cream which is from Born Pretty Store.  There are 3 shades available and I went for #2 the middle option.  The colour of the product is lighter than I'd usually wear but actually it really compliments my skin tone which is medium with freckles, so maybe I've been using the wrong colour all along!  I also find with my previous foundations that they make my lines look worse/deeper but because of the hydration of the BB Cream my skin looked less wrinkly.   I'm very pleasantly surprised with the BB Cream as I thought it wouldn't be robust enough but I was wrong.  It's hydrating, gives great coverage, applies easily and I haven't observed any adverse reaction to it, so it gets the thumbs up from me.  The box claims to be SPF 30 and it comes in a 45ml tube.  the only downside is that the only English writing is on the front of the tube, the packet and instructions inside the package are in Chinese or Korean.  Check out my YouTube video below.
