Mags' BPS Review & Autumn Graphic Nail Art

Hello Everyone!

This is the last review of Born Pretty Store. I will be showing you the Mixed Arabesque stamping plate QGirl-033.


I wanted something very simple, quick to do, so I did just an accent nail and I forgot how much it's nice to have just one accent nail. I used the leadlight technique wich consist of stamping first and then coloring. It's faster to do than reverse stamping (less waiting for polish to dry)
You may recognize the polish I'm wearing from the Autumn Flowers Nail Art I've done not too long ago, this gorgeous color will be a staple color for this autumn on my nails! So it might not be the last time you see it!



This plate can be used to do tribal nail art, and you can mix and match some of the images, and they are thin images so you can, like me, use it across like a frieze.

That was it ladies and gents!
I'll see you next time!

Mags' BPS Review & Color Pattern Nail Art

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm reviewing a pattern stamping plate BP21 from Born Pretty Store. This plate has incredible designs, and it was hard choosing one to start with :)


The base is white, then added 3 complementary colors with the dry brush technique and finally stamped the amazing design from the BP21 plate! I absolutely adore the result!


The plate have 4 different images and they are all lovely, I can't wait to use the circles and lines on my nails. Gah it's so pretty!! This is a quality plate, nothing bad to say! You can grab it if you are looking for nice patterns. You can use the code BESG10 if you want to save some moneys (10% off).


I'm usually not too much into coral/orange but from time to time I do enjoy it. Today was one of those days :)

I'll see you next time with the final review, another stamping plate, yeah I know but they have so many great plates!

Mags' BPS Review & Feathers Nail Art

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm reviewing some water decals from Born Pretty Store. I think it is my favorite items on the website. And having them is always so useful when you want nice nail art without any trouble and without spending too much time. It really is a marvelous thing, don't you think?


Isn't it dreamy? This Dollish Polish nail polish is called Brain Freeze and I love it, it's so cute! You do need a base color (usually white, this time I used light grey) as it's very sheer and I hate packing too much polish on my nails.


Those water decals came in a little too late for summer nails so I decided to use the feathers because summer is over here :/ But the feathers do look very nice, but I must admit I can't wait for next summer to use the palm trees, ya'll know how much I love my palm trees nails!  There's really nothing to say about those, they are water decals, they work, they look amazing, grab some if you haven't already! You can use the code BESG10 to get 10%.


Once again I did a mani that didn't required 10 items, and I'm loving that. Simplicity can sometimes be best.

I'll see you next time!

Mags' BPS Review & Wavy Nail Art

Hello Everyone,

I'm back with another nail art and reviews from Born Pretty Store. Today I'll be reviewing the BPS scraper and plate BP50.



This nail art, gold and black is perfect for a party. A very easy nail art, just a plain color and some stamping nothing else, can work very well. We tend to forget that :)


It was my first time using a plastic scraper, but I had no trouble using this one. I liked the fact it was clear. I would have liked it being just a tad harder but that just nitpicking really. It was a breeze to clean up compared to my metal one. So yeah, for less than 1$ there's no arguing! You can use the code BESG10 to grab it if you're interested to get 10% off. (I won't gain anything you using it, it's just for your wallet's happiness :))


This plate is so lovely, I particularly like the waves and leaves but the hearts are very cute too, lot's of possibilities with this plate and with reverse stamping, wouldn't you say?


Lately I've been more into simple nail art that doesn't require 10 items! Just A base coat, top coat (of course), 1-2 colors and a stamping plate or freehand accent nail. There will always have times I want to complicated things but it is not this day!

I'll see you next time!

Mags' BPS Review & Autumn Flowers Nail Art

Hello Everyone!

I know it's been a month since my last entry, but I've been on vacations and then had the business of coming back to work. But I'm here today to do another review from Born Pretty Store, this time on their nail art brush set:


The quality of those brushes is what you'd expect from the price range, nothing special but still decent enough to do detailed work. I will probably end up thinning some of them more, because it seems I can't find the prefect thin enough brush for nail art. But that's not a real problem. I expect them to have a lifespan of few month of heavy use, so really a good price/quality ratio.

Now let's get into nail art, fall is upon us, and it's time to set the neon's to rest and bring out the darker autumn colors. I set my eyes on the Barry M - Berry Cosmo, that I bought in the UK while on vacation. It's the perfect fall berry color. And added some flowers using the medium brush from the set.


Those messy flowers are very easy to make, just by doing small strokes from the center of the flower to the outside. Add some few dots in the middle and leaves and voilĂ , an easy nail art that takes few minutes only.


Don't forget that you can use the code BESG10 on BornPrettyStore to get 10% off.
I'll see you next time for another review  (a stamping plate this time) and a brand new nail art.
