Glow in the dark nail stickers review

Today what I have for you is a review for some awesome nail stickers from Born Pretty Store! Before I start talking, let's just look at these beauties and appreciate the little something extra they bring with them.

The stickers were quite sheer, and you can notice my nail line on my index finger, but I actually really liked that affect! Also, the stickers are covered with fine glitters, and seem as if you applied a coat of the well known China Glaze fairy dust :)

The stickers come packed in a cartoon like you see below, and this set up is inside an exrta plastic bag, so they make all the way to you nice and safely!

Inside the pack you have 14 stickers, so you can find the right size for you nail beds. Also- are you seeing the strong glow in the dark effect? Even in the dark the image is shown!

My next post will be a tutorial on how to apply those stickers, so stay tuned! In the mid-time, go shopping and make sure to use the coupon code below to get 10% off your order. Along with the free worldwide shipping- it's a sweet deal.

The road so far

I'm afraid. I fear for my life, and I fear for my feelings even more. I just don't think I'm quite ready for season 9 finale. Season 9 of what? Supernatural, obviously! I'm just not mentally prepared for it, OK?!
My nails are, though!

As my friend put it- Instead of going literal and doing something like angel wings, the mark of Cain or the anti-possession tattoo, I went for- and I'm quoting her- "the deep motive of the show". And she's absolutely right! This show has always been about family, and the two genetically blessed brothers on a road trip, saving people and hunting things, you know, the family business.
Other than that, on my thumb I have yet another lame excuse of writing. "The road so far" is the title that along with "carry on my wayward son" in the background, will bring every fan to tears, thinking about the boy's history.

The base for Dean's baby are water decals* from born pretty store, you can get here. This work like any water decals out there, but since you are going for a full nail here, application can be a bit tricky. I'll suggest that you don't mind you cuticles in the process, and just clean them up later with Acetone or nail polish remover. Don't forget to use top coat on top of it, so it will stay put.

My base color for all of my nails is Wow 350. On my thumb I wrote using Wow 393. The 67' Chavy Impala was drawn using the two polishes above, as well as Life 269 and Chic Diamonds. If you noticed- I added a red dot on the map, using Life strawberry. Guess where the red dot is, just guess!

I'm off to find some salt, because I'm all alone at home and I heard the guitar playing. And I might use it on popcorn while the episode? That might be wise...

Mother's Day nail art

Happy Mother's Day everyone! Have you celebrated with your mother today? My mother and I had a movie night on Friday, so I hope it counts!

My mom really dislikes all things makeup and nail polish. She got used to my crazy nails, but you will never catch her with colorful nails. So on today's manicure I used the ONLY nail polish in my stash that my mother is willing to use- Ga-de Angelina. While she uses one coat of it, for a 'yours but better' sort of look, I used 3 coats here, and added some studs, to put a little bit of myself into this nail art.

This gorgeous pastel studs are from Born Pretty Store, and you can get them here (#4). In each wheel you get 3 colors of studs, in 4 different shapes- round, leaf, and small and big squares. While I got the soft pastel, there are also neon wheels, they I might get myself right in time for summer!

The studs held really well, and I applied them with clear polish on the nail, and then stuck them down. I haven't used topcoat on top of it, and it lasted a whole two days before I got it caught in something, and they fell. If you want to buy them, or anything else, you are welcome to use the coupon code below to get 10% off your order.

How about you? Does your mother like nail polish? To you treat her with some nail art?

Recycling manicure

As shocked as I was about the bright pink polish fitting me, I really liked its bold look. And while the accent nails with the decal softened up the over look, I wanted to try and go BOLD. So I used the skittlette to my advantage and changed up only two nails.

So the stamping might have turned up awful, but I'm liking my bold move. I normally wouldn't have gone for such a bold manicure, but for those who does- such a bright look is perfect for the summer that gets closer and closer by the minute.

The pink polish is Life 276, and the stud on top of it is similar to the one here (You may use my coupon code YLX31 to get 10% off your order). My gold polish is Life 345, and I stamped over it using Wow 393 and Bundle Monster BM-410. Again, the added stud is from Forever 21, but you can get something similar by a quick search online.

Eye catching Sakura

So, the story behind my untypical use of bright pink polish is this- a while ago I bought some water decals at a local store, and they were sitting unused in my drawer ever since. I felt like using the sakura brunches design, and my search for a matching nail polish has lead me to one of my barely used nail polishes.

So, on the the decals- after completely drying my nail polish, I cut a piece of the decal, took the plastic part off, and soaked it in water. When it was soaked enough, I pulled the design off of the paper using a pair of tweezers, and placed it on my nail. Quick tip- If your nails are wet, you can move the decal around even after you placed it, and then soak the water off gently. Don't forget to use top coat after applying the decals.

My pink polish is Life 276, and the base color for the decals is Wow 395. I used studs that I bought from Forever 21, but you can get identical ones from the Born Pretty Store here, and don't forget to use my coupon code YLX31 at checkout to get 10% off your order.
