Born Pretty- Water Decals

 I had loads of fun this morning playing around with the water decals that I received from Born Pretty for review. Each pack has 11 small sets of decals. The selection  includes Hello Kitty, Snow White and various floral designs. Application is easy, the designs are cute and I have no complaints whatsoever. These are great for a quick manicure and for those who want a professional look but are not comfortable with freehand nail art. 

Here are a few looks that I created with the Born Pretty water decals. I think these designs are perfect for spring =)  




Each pack of Born Pretty water decals costs $4.73 and you can buy them here. Born Pretty has a HUGE variety of nail art products at affordable prices, so be sure to visit their website. 

And here are a few pics from my recent visit to Udaipur.

Born Pretty- Kelier Crackle Nail Polish

I have been wanting to try crackle nail polish for a long time. So I was really excited about this particular product that Born Pretty sent to me for review- Kelier crackle nail polish!

I started out by painting two thin coats of Catrice-Sold Out Forever and waited for it to dry completely. It's best to use a contrasting base colour so that the crackle effect would be more visible. I then painted a medium, even coat of Kelier crackle polish in black. In a couple of minutes I got a really cool, funky crackle effect! It dries glossy without a top coat. I really like novelty polishes, I love how people always ask, "wow, how did you do you nails like that?!" 

This polish would have been near perfect had clean-up not been impossible. And I really mean it when I say impossible, even with acetone! I'll be careful the next time I apply it. So...yeah, although I haven't tried to remove this polish yet, I suspect it's gonna be pretty difficult. But that won't stop me from wearing this polish again, the effect is awesome. I want need more of these crackle polishes :D 




Here is a photo of day 5.It's still looks decent enough; a very durable polish.


You can buy Kelier crackle nail polish here for $4.52. It's available in other colours too- purple, green, blue, yellow and red.

Born Pretty- False Full Nail Tips

Born Pretty, the now quite popular nail art e-tailer, kindly offered to send me some more products to review. Of course I jumped at the opportunity; I had loved their products the last time I had used them.

I was sent a set of pre-designed false full nail tips, black with the Chanel logo in white. Each packet has 70 nail tips, so you can get quite a few manicures out of one pack. For the first time, I had absolutely no trouble finding the right size for my nails. The sizes included are ones that you can actually use. Usually, many companies include too many gigantic nail tips, some of which are probably twice the size of your thumb nail, so it gets really frustrating to find your size, But thankfully, that's not the case with these.

The tips are not too curved, and not too flat, so they will suit a majority of women(and men?) out there. However, my nails are really flat, and I still to find falsies that are flat enough for me. But the Born Pretty nail tips were thin and flexible enough, so it wasn't such a huge problem. As they are thin, these tips look comparatively natural than many others I have tried. 

I should add that the pack does not include nail glue, so you need your own. I used BYB nail glue, also available at Born Pretty. The last time I used this glue, my false nails lasted for more than a week. A good option if you like your nails to last for a long time. But it takes a lot of time and acetone to dissolve this glue, so be warned. 

Each pack of these false nails costs $5.45. 70 nail tips for $5.45 is not bad at all. I love how Born Pretty reasonably prices their items, without compromising on quality =)



You can check out these false nails here. If you are planning to buy false nails from Born pretty, these are some other designs that I would suggest: the blue leopard print, pink tiger stripes, and this very sexy black and red dotted gradient design
