Born Pretty Store Review// Born Pretty Store 產品試用
First I decided to use a deep ruby red nail polish from Jill Stuart (mini-size given to me from a friend) to pair with the glitter top coat:
The dark ruby red color is stunning itself but after adding the Glitter Gold Art Enamel Gel Paint, instant glamour <3 Also I noticed the glitter topcoat itself is like a kaleidoscope just by looking at the bottle. The effect of the topcoat makes my nails look like they've a 'gel' layer on them. Thumbs-up on this Glitter Gold Art Enamel Gel Paint.
The second topcoat I picked was the Star Silver Art Gel Paint:
The Star Silver paint fairs less well than the Gold Glitter one, as you can see in the pic below, the glitters are very fine and you need to take a really close look in order to notice them. But I suppose using a darker color as base would make the effect more obvious. I have figured that these glitter gel coats work best with darker colored polishes.
I used a shimmery black polish as the base colored and used the white half-pearls to line and decorate, for some reason the black and the pearl going together reminds me of a luxury brand ;) This palette has various colors of half-pearls pieces so there would be something for everyone, from elegant styles like in this demo to cute-ish ones when paired with girly colors (see below for another demo).
Now the exciting bit! How cute is this palette full of desserts/sweets decorations pieces?! And most importantly, these are 3D, haha!!
I figured a more girly color would look best with these desserts decoration pieces, here's how they looked! And I used the half-pearls from above to decorate as well. The dessert motif is just too sweet to look at.
Lastly, the Flower 3D Nail Art Tips Decoration Stickers. I had a hard time choosing which pattern/print to use, there were just too many to choose from.
I used some stick-on nails to do the demo: here I used the flowery 3D decoration stickers, the Gold Glitter enamel coat, and the Star Silver gel paint. The effect looks like the nails have undergone 'gel' treatment at some nail spa boutiques! I'm surprised how well these items worked together in this lady-like nail-do.
To conclude, I'm pretty impressed by how versatile the Gold Glitter topcoat is (workable with just any color!) but I'd advise second thoughts on the Star Silver one because it's showing itself very humbly in pictures. The flowery nail deco stickers are such a steal (10 big pieces of decoration stickers at under $5 USD...hello?) and most importantly they're ideal for lazy folks like me to do konading LOL. The 3D dessert decorations are cute and sweet to look at, I wonder if there are any other motifs of 3D decos besides the dessert items. The half-pearls can play up the elegance of dark colors yet could add cuteness with paler/pastel colors in my opinion. If you're going for something unique, I'd really recommend the Gold Glitter topcoat and the 3D dessert decorations.Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Review: Jill Stuart nail polish in 106 Romantic Mararon + Another new release from Benefit
Ladies, this is going to sound crazy and you probably won't believe me. The day I used this nail polish coming from the 09 Christmas holiday coffret, a sweet candy scent lingers afterwards (I didn't smell my nails deliberately.). And i discovered this smell actually came from my nails after the nail polish has dried O_O!!! *Ahem* don't try to smell from the bottles directly, and don't even try to think about doing so at the counters lol!!! the smell only came after it's on your nails! :D
Most nail polishes are awful in their smells (you know, like Thinner liquid), the smell of thinner is still here in the polish but it has a kind of sweet scent coming from it as well, this sounds crazy coz I have never tried nail polishes that doesn't stink (that much).
Lets come to the color of the polish, it is a milky/pearly white and pink color with lilac shimmer in it, so in the bottle it looks like its milky pink, but after i painted it on, its like a purple-ish milky pink (really suck in describing colors, lol).

The color looks very natural =] Yet I should have put on a few more coats just to ensure it lasts on my nails...
I accidentally spoiled the coats of polish before they dried :( have to remove them and paint again...

Review: Canmake Nail Polish in 91 Barbie Pink with red tones


Apologies for the poor quality of my camera (my dad took the better one away!), the color showed up on my nails after 2 layers of the polish looked red if viewed from a distance, but they're pink when you looked at them closer!
I was too happy with this purchase, and I wanted to stock up on one more bottle. But they were all sold out and I wasn't sure if they will restock this color :(
