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.

Mags' Tropical Nail Art

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm doing a quick post to show you my tropical nail art, or hawaiian shirt nail art :p
I'm going on holidays tomorrow so I wanted bright neon nails to go with the sun and sea! The picture really don't do justice of how bright they really are!



Once again it's a gradient, I can't stop from doing them since I got liquid latex, because clean-up has never been easier. And I also stamped some hibiscus flowers, to fit the tropical theme.




I know, once more, I used the Claire's Neon polishes, you are probably tired of that, but it's been such a long, sunny and hot summer, it's all I have been wanting to wear lately :) Bear with me!!



The suitcase is packed and I'm all ready to go have some great time!! Weeee
I'll see you when I come back!
