Bestie Twin Nails & Bornpretty Review

Hello!

Today I'm reviewing some nail protectors/stickers from bornprettystore.com item #27347. These are perfect for when you are out of liquid latex and want to save time on clean up on gradients, watermarbles, or stamping. Let's take a look at them.

Item #27347 from bornprettystore.com

This is how the nail protectors come. There are 10 in a package. They are very easy to peel off. They are available in 5 different colors but I really don't think the color matters. 

I ended up using all 10 for a gradient I had planned on doing. These protectors were perfect. Just the right amount of stickiness to them. I actually placed them on before applying my white base. I didn't want to smudge it. I used OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI, two thin coats no top coat.

For this gradient I used Fresh Paint Honeydew, Sinful Colors Tempest, and Zoya Kitridge.

As you can see they did a good job at protecting my fingers from the mess. I had very little clean up to do.

Here is the final result. I topped my gradient off with Zoya Leia, Sinful Colors Pink Ansen, Seche Vite, and Zoya Matte Velvet top coat. These were actually a part of some BTN I did with @thatrighthandtho from Instagram. I really love how they came out and I'm happy I did both hands, all 10 fingers!!

And here is our collage along with the inspo picture I found on Pinterest. Make sure to check out @thatrighthandtho's page and give her a follow. She's got some gorgeous manis!

Bestie Twin Nails With Thedotcouture

I took a bit of a blogging break and now I'm back with these twin nails with my nail sister Thedotcouture.

I love twinning with Jenny! We noticed that we always end up doing similar manis with out meaning to so we decided to actually do twin manis.

I found the inspiration photo on Pinterest like always. Take a look at our collage.

Polish pictured Sinful Colors Nirvana

I used Sinful Colors Nivana as my base and dry brushed Zoya Ana over it. I added the black flowers with a dotting tool and top coated with Seche Vite top coat. I wanted a matte look so I used one coat of Zoya Matte Velvet top coat.

I love how these look! What do you guys think? 

Check out Jenny's blog and Instagram for her solo and to see all her amazing manis!

Thank you for reading!

I promise I'll try to post more often :)

Stained Glass BTN With Pish

I got the opportunity to do Twin Nails with my dearest friend Karen from pish.posh.polish. If you aren't following her yet you definitely should! 

We were inspired by a pastel stained glass phone case I found. 

Take a look at our collage. I love how they both turned out. They look so awesome together!

Here is my solo. We decided to make them matte and I love it! 

In between shot before cleanup

I started off with a white base and then on a latex free make up wedge I added little drops of different polishes and dapped it on my nail. I had to reapply polish on the wedge after every two nails. I did about two or three passes on each nail to make it opaque. Then I top coated and with my detail brush and black acrylic paint I started drawing in some lines. I sort of outlined where each color was. 

After I was done drawing the lines I waited for them to be fully dry and top coated with Zoya Matte Velvet top coat.

I really liked them that I did the other hand as well. 

Hope you guys enjoyed these as much as I did! Thank you for reading :)

Bestie Twin Nails with @color.obsessed

Hello my friends!

It's BTN time again! This time I did BTN with @color.obsessed from Instagram. We decided on a design from a gorgeous dress I found on Pinterest.

Here is the collage.

I love her version. It's so pretty! Don't you think?

My solo:

Polish Pictured OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue

I did a blue gradient followed by a glitter gradient and then a coat of fairy dust from China Glaze. Final step was stamping. I stamped an image from Pet'la Plate Flake No More with M Polish Bronze. I also used the clear jelly stamper to help me with my placement. If anyone wants a review for that stamper leave a comment below.

Gradient before the stamping

I used OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue, No Room for the Blues and Rimmel London Blue Eyed Girl for the gradient. I sponged on Revlon Holographic Pearls on the tips and then applied a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust. Topped it off with one coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Matte version

I wanted to see how it looked matte so I applied one coat of Zoya Matte Velvet. I loved it so much more! I didn't want to take it off ever!

Macro matte version

That's it folks. If you have any questions leave them below. I hope you guys enjoyed these BTN.

Sweetest Bestie Twin Nails

Hey friends! 

Today I have some cute twin nails to show you! My friend @25_sweetpea from Instagram asked me to collaborate with her and of course I agreed! I love her manis and she's so sweet, just like her name says! 

We decided on doing owl nails. I've never done owls before so I was extremely nervous. We both kinda were!

Take a look to see how we did.

We decided on doing a gradient base. The top picture in the collage was our inspo. And we agreed on only doing one owl since we weren't sure if we could fit more than one on one nail. She did such a great job! I love it!

Below is my gradient with top coat before adding anything over it.

Gradient with one coat of Seche Vite

I have become a big fan of doing gradients this way. I do my gradient like usual and then I go over it doing some lines with a striper brush. I love the effect it gives it. I used Sinful Shine At Sea, Sinful Colors Hazard, and Loreal Walk on the Beach. 

This is the glossy version of my solo. I didn't like the glare. This was the only photo that the glare didn't completely cover that poor little owl. 

Polish pictured Sinful Shine At Sea

So I decided to matte it. I love it matte! I'm a big big fan of matte nails! I drew everything with nail polish and my favorite brushes that you can find here and here. I don't have brown acrylic paint and I was too lazy to mix colors. The owl was done only using dotting tools. I did one coat of Seche Vite and then I added one coat of Salon Perfect Matte Fx top coat to finish the look.

Bestie Twin Nails Halloween Edition

Hello there! 

Today I have some fun gradient nails to show you! I asked my lovely friend Jenny from @thedotcouture if she wanted to do some twin nails with me and lucky me she said yes! 

Here is our collage. I freaking love how they both turned out and how they look together in the collage.

Don't you?

Twin nails with @thedotcouture

Below is the inspiration t-shirt I found at Walmart in early September. As soon as I saw it I thought of Jenny. She loves Halloween so I took a photo of it along with another cute shirt and saved them so I could send them to her. I forgot to do that. So now it's October and it's time for Halloween nail art. I wanted to recreate this scene on my nails so I decided to invite Jenny to do them with me!

Jenny's solo photo. I love how hers turned out! I'm a big fan of her manis. She can make a simple mani look beautiful! If you aren't following her yet you should!

@thedotcouture

And here is my solo. I did a gradient using all Sinful Colors polishes; Let's Talk, Endless Blue and At Sea. I added a top coat and when dry I drew some tree silhouettes with black acrylic paint. I had some trouble with the skeletons. I'm not good with small details so it was tough. I waited for the paint to be fully dry and added top coat again and then one final coat of matte top coat. The next hard part was photographing it. I couldn't get the purple to show.

After taking a million pics I went with this one taken in the shade. It showed the details a bit more and all the colors in the gradient. I was very sad to take it off.

I really enjoyed doing these with Jenny. I hope we can do this again soon sometime. We hope you all love them as much as we do!
