Bornprettystore Nail Stamping

Today I have a bunch of manis to show you!

I was sick for a month and have been really behind on my blogging. Thankfully, I'm much better now and my energy has come back. I am back with lots of pretty pictures to share with you. 

Lots of nail stamping!

Uberchic Beauty

If you're into nail stamping, you've probably already heard of this brand of stamping plates. And if you haven't, you need to finish reading this post and head on over to their website to check it out. But make sure you finish reading this post. That's important.

Zoya Naturel Satin 2015 Zoya Delight 2015

Last month Zoya’s social media team recommended me to be a part of their sampling program. When I got the email, I was beyond excited. I was jumping around screaming from the excitement. For two weeks I couldn’t stop talking about it and then I finally received the first collection in the mail. They sent me the Zoya Naturel Satin collection and shortly after, I received the Zoya Delight collection. Once I got the packages I started swatching immediately.

Butterfly Dreams

One of my very good nail polish girl friends sent me some nail stamping polish prototypes to sample. She knows my love for nail stamping and wanted some honest feedback before releasing her collection this Spring. I was beyond excited to play with them!

Isn't it beautiful?!

Yellow Nails

If you're a nail polish addict, you'll understand this struggle: yellow and stained nails. Today, I suffered the embarrassment of being out with hideous stained, yellow nails. What am I supposed to do? How do I fix this?

How embarrassing

Subtle Gradient Autumn Leaves

This Thanksgiving I decided to skip the turkeys and do Autumn leaves instead. This was a very easy mani and only took a little over an hour. The final look is beautiful and will be perfect for my family's Thanksgiving feast.

Zoya Matte Velvet

Zoya has brought back their popular Matte Velvet line! As soon as they were released, I called Ulta to make sure it was in stock and bought 3 of the 6 colors. I'm hoping for a sale or promotion so I can order the rest from this collection. 
The Zoya matte velvet nail polishes are not meant to be long lasting like regular nail polish. You'll get tip wear and chipping much quicker than usual.

Black & White

I recently had a horrible experience with the Pueen Encore plates. My husband surprised me with a set back in July and I was so excited for them. People were raving about these gorgeous plates. They were beautiful; however, my images would not pick up. I thought it might be user error so I read the reviews on Amazon. It seemed like others were having the same problem. I tried all different types of scrapers, stampers, nail polishes, stamping polishes, pressure and basically everything I could think of but nothing worked. Some images would pick up bits and pieces but some wouldn't pick up anything.

Glittery Mermaid

I am in love with these right now! The extra sparkle from the glitter really pulls the look together.

Cyprus Dreams

Let's start September with a gorgeous green for Fall. As much as I love bright colors for the Summer, my true love lies in dark colors for the colder weather.

Back To School Plaid

About a month ago I was chosen to be one of the few brand reps for Poppy nail polish. Poppy is an indie nail polish company dedicated to the color and health of your nails and is run by mompreneur, Tiffany Barry. Poppy nail polishes are all 5-free (meaning they do not contain dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, or camphor), cruelty-free, and they're vegan!

Loreal Neons : Fluo Azur

Blue is one of those colors that can do no wrong in my eyes. I love all blues. Today we have Fluo Azur from the Loreal neons I bought recently.

Loreal Neons : Acid Watermelon

Here it is - Acid Watermelon. I was most excited for this color because so many people raved about how gorgeous it is.

Loreal Neons : Punchy Lychee

The Rite Aid near me finally stocked up on Loreal Neons. I picked up 4 of the 6 colors: Acid Watermelon, Punchy Lychee, Fluo Azur, and Flashing Lilac. The 2 colors I didn't get were: Banana Pop and Energetic Tangerine.

Genius Glitter Polish Removal

Who loves glitter nail polish? This girl! Who hates removing glitter polish? Still this girl! 
There are a lot of tutorials floating around the internet to create your own O.P.I Glitter Off base coat. And I'm here to tell you, save your $9. It really truly works! 

Aruba Blue

Essie Aruba Blue is one of my all time favorite blue nail polishes. It is a stunning sapphire blue that looks amazing on anyone. It applies nicely and is opaque after 2 coats. I love Aruba Blue when it's glossy but I get crazy over it when it's matte.
