Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing? I hope you've had a great week, do you feel
like lots of positive things happened?
I'm doing well. I'm generally really happy. I've slid into my
pattern with a breeze. This past week I've been on my own as my
parents have been away (they came back last night) and it was
actually nice to have the house to myself – after the past few
weeks it was like putting on the breaks. I've kept myself extremely
busy with all sorts of jobs around the house, blogging, being Auntie Ithi. The highlight has been
getting up at 6.30 to work out and going going to bed every night
with my little black cat. Every day we've started and ended our days
together this past week. Missed him so much! I'm finding the beauty in the simplest
of things.
My ikea helmer came!...And then it returned. It was bent and damaged
and now I don't think I want to go with a helmer as the metal seems
so thin.. so the nail polish storage hunt continues. I'm limited with
sizes due to built-in furniture but I'll figure something!
Today I am showing you another item from The Born Pretty Store.
I've been excited to show you this one! Sadly the nail art is a
little..hrrm.. but this stuff is pretty fun! This is
'1 box 春の歌5g Soak Off Fur Efrfect UV Gel Polish in #10' – D'awww check out
the packaging!
I was so intrigued after seeing this in the Born Pretty Store that
I decided I wanted to try it! You know my gel experiences are fairly
limited and
really tame so I had no idea what to
expect or really even how to apply it.
 |
| I absolutely love this stuff. Can I have the
entire collection? If you see the picture of my nails with just the
UV gel on.. I really like how it looks there. It was so shiny, so
smooth. I wouldn't say it makes me think of fur right away but I
love the effect it gives. Its subtle and gorgeous. |
 |
| First of all my heart was captured by the packaging, I love how
this isn't just a boring round pot, instead it has a sort of mock-antique
look to the design which is really cute – and then the bear.. Oh
isn't he adorable?! Paws up! |
How did I apply it?
Upon opening I was a little surprised by the gooey contents
(although what was I really expecting if not gooeyness?!) but I got
to work. I applied my NYC peel off base coat because the idea of
anything gel-like being stuck on my nails terrifies me! I then took
an old rounded eyeshadow brush and began to gently dab/brush on the
UV gloop. At this point it wasn't looking like much and I thought
this would be a really embarassing review but I did a thin layer and
cured it under my lamp. I repeated this twice more and did a double
take. Somehow it had come together beautifully and once the colour
had built up a little I was
smitten. I applied a coat of Born Pretty Store's UV Gel top coat and
voilà!
conclusion? I personally really like it. I
don't really like a lot of fuss when having to apply a coat of colour
but I wouldn't say this was too much hard work, certainly not enough
to put me off. I love how glossy and smooth it looks and I would
certainly buy more of these based on my experience with this one. For
those of you who are not into gel perhaps its not for you – or if
you worry about gels on your nails try the peel off approach as I did
but I highly recommend this fun little bear pot!
Have you worn a liquid gel like this before? What do you
think of my twinning bear?
Have an awesome weekend my friends, thank you for stopping by!
I'll catch you again on Monday for more nail art fun!..
Love,
Ithi
