I could not wait to try out one of the nail powder I received. We are trying something new with Born Pretty Store, and from now on I will try to include key words link with the product links, and those words will take you to the page where the like products would be displayed for browsing. That will make navigating this huge site even easier.
Item I received is 0.2 g Holographic Chameleon nail flakies, item #41332, and my color choice was #5.
Usually, I do the swatches of the powders on the regular polish, but this time, I decided to try it out on the gel polish base. I applied white gel polish on my ring finger, and black on rest of them, over the gel polish base. I cured each layer 30 sec. in my Melody Susie UV lamp, and after two coats of color, I added no wipe gel top coat.
To protect the skin around the nails and make the clean up of the powder little bit easier, I used Bliss Kiss - Simply Peel latex barrier. Prepped like this, I was ready to burnish some of those delicious flakies. I rubbed over the whole surface on all but my pinky, where I wanted to try flakie finish. To apply the powder, I used applicator that is provided with product, and I topped it all with no wipe gel top coat.
This is how this powder looked over the black and white base:
All the photos were taken indoors under artificial light conditions, and I had every intention to take some outdoors photos, but overcast sky, and my slip on the ice and new knee injury prevented me from doing that. It is hard to have a crutches and try to take good photo...
I wore it with stamping add on that I will show you next.
Same parcel came with another item that I used in creating the next look with this gorgeous base.
I received one of the stampers, and more to choose from you can see if you click on highlighted word.
I received Limited Edition Born Pretty Snowflake double head stamper/scraper set, item #41330.
Personally, I prefer shorter stock, as my eyesight did not improve with age and it also reduces the tunnel vision. It is best if you take off the head you do not use, to make seeing through the stamper easier.
As you can tell, both sides picked any image I wanted perfectly, straight from the box, no prep needed.
Because perfect pick up, I will use this stamper with the rest of the items I will have to show you.
For this review I decided on super simple geometric design from BP-L53 nail stamping, item #36312.
I used El Corazon St.- 02 White for stamping.
