Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today? Welcome to
September!
What's it like where you are, does it
feel like summer has come to an end? I'm hoping it will be nice this
weekend as we have a picnic planned with my niece, nephew, sister and
mum. Its so nice being able to do so much with them! Its something I
missed deeply. My heart is happy.
Today I am reviewing a gel polish from
the Born Pretty Store, this is'10ml Born Pretty Store Holographic Star Moon Sequins Gel Bling Soak Off Manicure Nail Art UV Gel Polish' - looong names. Let's take a look, shall we?
This gel polish is a semi transparent
turquoise/blue jelly with scattered holographic sequins and moon
shapes. The holographic pieces are highly reflective and once I had
applied my top coat this polish danced on my
nails. It is incredibly eye catching and rather satisfying to look
at. I received so many compliments while wearing it!
Because its a gel and I don't like to
have gel polish on my nails for too long (I'm not wearing for
longevity, I paint too often!) I applied a my NYC peel off base coat
before applying it. I allowed time for my peel off base to turn
transparent and once dry applied two coats of this glittery, bluey
goodness. I cured each coat under my lamp for a few seconds before
finishing up with my Born Pretty Store Gel top coat.
Conclusion? I'm really happy with this
polish, I've had some regular polishes with stars and moon shapes
before however they didn't sit so flat or smooth as this gel polish.
I think the gel encapsulates the glitter beautifully and really show
cases their holographic effect. Overall I really like it and I can
see some nail art designs using this polish in the future!
I know some of you are put off at the
idea of using gel polishes but I hope by showing you my experiences I
can show you its not that difficult and also not as scary as it may
seem.
What do you think of this
glitter bomb nail polish? Have you tried gel polishes yet?
Thank you so much for stopping by! I'll
catch you again on Monday for some more freehand nail art. Have a
fantastic weekend, my loves!
Love,
Ithi
Ooh, this looks pretty! I'm not really big on shaped glitters but I can pick those out if needed and the remaining glitters look like beautiful mermaid scales. Yep, I can definitely see me wearing this :)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely the end of summer of here. It's about 18 degrees C outside but it's sunny so I would call it a lovely autumn day. Keeping my fingers crossed it's a bit warmer where you are so you can enjoy your picnic without scarfs, blankets and mittens ;)
Love this color!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of this.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about trying out gel polish but I think it's really hard to figure out which lamp to buy and suchlike :/
