Born Pretty Store Stamping Products

PRESS SAMPLE
Today's mani is using stamping products from Born Pretty Store.  The gold stamping polish has been sent to me for review, the stamper & scraper was a free gift and the stamping plate QA61 I already owned.  First up the stamping polish is a lovely bright gold shimmer, very opaque, excellent quality and will definitely be my favourite gold stamping polish as it's so bright and not dull or flat and is a huge 15ml.  The stamper & scraper was a free gift from Born Pretty Store, a rectangular stamper which I've never tried before and a metal bladed scraper, both worked wonderfully.  Teamed up with stamping plate QA61 which I already owned, another firm favourite of mine, super designs that stamp brilliantly.  I applied over a burgundy polish and the gold stamping polish really stands out.  I'm highly delighted with all my stamping products from Born Pretty Store and highly recommend them.   Check out my video below.

Cuticle Tattoos #08 from Charlies Nail Art

PRESS SAMPLE
This is a new one for me, cuticle tattoos!  I've tried body tattoos and they are basically the same thing, and to have them for just your cuticles is a brilliant idea and really brings your mani to attention!  I'm really impressed with them and excited to show you.  The Cuticle Tattoos #008 are from Charlies Nail Art and I've teamed them up with Stamping Plate QA20  (also from Charlies Nail Art - see my blog post here) over a lilac mani, Nails Inc Callcott Street.
The cuticle tattoos are applied as follows:
Clean cuticle with water
Choose the best size tattoo for your cuticle (there are 20 assorted sizes in the pack)
Peel off the protective film from the chosen tattoo
Place tattoo face down onto the area you want to apply it
Use cotton wool with water to wet the back of the tattoo for approx 30 seconds
Remove the paper from your cuticle area and the tattoo should be adhered to your skin
To remove: Use baby oil or similar
I'm literally blogging about this straight after this mani so going on how long body tattoos last for they should last a couple of days if you are careful, but fantastic for a night out or event.

Sparkly Nails ZigZag Vinyl Nail Stencils

PRESS SAMPLE
I'm recycling yesterday's pale pink mani (Nails Inc Swift Street) using ZigZag vinyls,  a white polish and rose gold shimmer polish (Nails Inc Great Titchfield Street).  I've used one vinyl on each nail and 2 on the thumb to give a wider ZigZag.  What you are seeing is my 2nd attempt as the first was ruined with dodgy polish which didn't give clear sharp lines.  So if you've tried vinyls and they don't give sharp lines/images it could be your polish not the vinyl itself - just saying.  The ZigZag Vinyl nail stencils are from Sparkly Nails and they have a neat selection of vinyl packs in squiggle, spike, stripe, chevron and more so go check them out.  There are 60 ZigZag vinyls per pack and at only £1.25 are a bargain.  Check out my little step by step tutorial below.

Snake Necklace from Born Pretty Store

My latest little treat to myself is a gem encrusted Snake Necklace from Born Pretty Store.  The gold tone snake with clear rhinestones along its body and black rhinestone eyes is entwined round the chain.  The ends of the chain have a gold & silver tone weight to keep the chain straight and has a 2 inch extender.  The gold tone popcorn chain is substantial yet delicate & pretty, is 28 inches around your neck to the top of the snakes head and is 20 inches long laid flat.  A super necklace for the price looks far more expensive than it is, dress is up or wear casual.
I like that Born Pretty Store allow their customers to upload their photos and videos of their purchases so you can see exactly what they look like which is why I'm sharing with you my Stunning Twining Snake Necklace Vogue Necklace which I purchased myself with my affiliate points.   I've taken a few photos and made a video so you can see for  yourself.  
 Check out my video demonstration below.

smART Nails Stencils Heart Line P067

PRESS SAMPLE
Today's mani is a mix of a matte textured red base (Nails Inc Ayelsford Street) with gold shimmer hearts using heart stencils from smART Nails.  A nice and easy mani which is pretty and effective. There are 10 stencils in the pack of a line of 5 hearts decreasing in size.   Simply peel off the stencil from the backing paper.  The stencil is transparent so you can see exactly where to place it on the nail.  Press onto your dry nail and make sure there are no air bubbles.  Apply your contrasting polish and immediate remove the stencil.  Wait for the contrasting colour to dry and apply top coat.  I didn't use top coat for this mani as I wanted to keep the matte textured effect.
Now I'll let you into a special offer!  FREE shipping on all orders during April 2015 at smART Nails 
That runs out today so be quick!
I highly recommend these stencils because they are easy, effective, fun, inexpensive and a great way to decorate you nails.   Check out my video demonstration below.

Nails Inc Ayelsford Street

I've had a bit of a splurge and bought 3 Nails Inc sets as they were on offer on the Nails Inc website, 6 bottles for £18 or £16.20 if you're a VIP member.  First up is Nails Inc Ayelsford Street from the Summer In The City set.  It's a red matte and has a textured finish.  Usually with Nails Inc it will say on the bottle if it's a special effect but it hasn't in this case.  Anyways, I don't have that many matte polishes and they are deffo growing on me.  Here's the pics with and without flash, the latter being the truer likeness....
 
 
The Summer In The City set comprises of the following full size limited edition polishes:
