Born Pretty Store--15 Piece Nail Art Brush Set Review

Happy Saturday! I'm so happy the weekend is here. That means nail polish play time, football, and catching up on homework. Today I have a 15 piece nail art brush set from Born Pretty Store to review.

The set comes with a variety of different shapes and sizes of nail art brushes.

It comes in this plastic sleeve which you can use to store the brushes in.

Since I have small brushes now, I finally gave advanced stamping a try. It is not as easy as it looks! I'm going to have to practice some more.

I used China Glaze Highlight of My Summer and stamped using MoYou London Pro 14 XL in Konad Black. I filled in the flowers with OPI Pink Friday. The textured polish is OPI Liquid Sand Pussy Galore.

Here's another manicure I did a couple months ago with loose glitter and the big white fan brush. It was my first time using loose glitter, but it was super easy!

I wish I had some art skills so I could draw freehand nail art with all of these different sized brushes. The ones I have used so far worked perfectly and allowed me to create manicures I have never tried before. You can purchase this set of brushes here for $5.96.

Polish TBH Dark & Difficult Times and Pumpkin Pasties Swatches

Hi friends! Yesterday I posted some nail art over a Polish TBH polish and today I have a couple Polish TBH swatches to show you. I met the indie polish maker Chrissy at the Eyes on Indie nail party back in September and she is super sweet! I brought my sister with me to the event and she bought some polishes and let me play with them--score! I personally don't like lending my nail polish out to anyone because I'm anal and don't want anyone getting polish all over the neck of the bottle. Does anyone else feel that way or am I just super anal? Haha enough about my craziness, onto the polish!

Dark & Difficult Times

Pumpkin Pasties over Essie Tart Deco

I was really pleased with both of these polishes. Dark & Difficult Times builds up nicely on its own and the glitter in it is really pretty. Pumpkin Pasties is the most glitter packed polish I've used to date. I didn't do any fishing, but instead I took off a lot of polish from the brush before applying because swatches I have seen look like there was too much glitter applied. This made application really easy because I hate fishing for glitter and trying to spread it all over my base because sometimes my base color will get messed up that way. These are both from Polish TBH's fall Diagon Alley Collection. You can purchase these polishes here. Chrissy's shop is currently closed, but she will re-open in less than a week on Nov. 12. 

Polish TBH Dark & Difficult Times & Bundle Monster 323

Hey lacqueristas! Today I have some nail art I meant to post around Halloween, but I didn't get around to it last week. Luckily it doesn't have a straight up Halloween theme to it, it's just a bit darker than the nail art I usually do. I used Polish TBH Dark & Difficult Times and stamped using BM 323 (barbed wire) and MoYou London Pro 07 XL (bird) in Konad Black. I don't typically like grey on me, but I really like how this all turned out and I don't mind it here. It probably helps that it's a blue leaning grey. Do you ladies have any colors that don't flatter you?

Polished by KPT Hot Like Wasabi & Kelvin Bleu Swatches

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I was practicing advanced stamping over the weekend so I will be sharing a few of those attempts with you soon. Today I have a couple Polished by KPT polishes to show you. I have already shown you a few in October, but today I have ones that are both thermal and holographic--Hot Like Wasabi and Kelvin Bleu. These 2 are my favorites that I have tried so far because of the nice formula and the scattered holo effect.

Hot Like Wasabi--cold. This color reminds me of the Disney Movie Princess and the Frog. Maybe that's why I like it so much. 

Hot Like Wasabi--warm.
