Cute phone cases, studs and glitter from BPS

So I have been so uninspired lately and I'm not really wearing anything special on my nails. I got some goodies from Born Pretty Store for review and this will probably be the lamest review but here we go. :i

There was a misunderstanding and I got wrong phone cases I wanted to try out. I got 2 cute Iphone 4/4s cases which obviously don't fit on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I was a bit sad because I was excited about these but okay I'm getting the right ones next time and I already found a new home for them, just need to ship them out.

I really like the bow case because it's so cute and I loove cute stuff! :i Dots looks cute too and both phone cases feel really sturdy.

Then I got some studs. Studs are really everywhere so if you want to be in trend, be sure you check their studs. I got rounded gold studs, maybe a bit too big for my taste but what I really love about them that they are pretty flat and I love flat stuff for nails. Here I took a picture of the neon pink ones I already showed you here so you can see that these are bigger.

I was lacking of inspiration so I just made an accent nail with them...Pretty boring I know! :D

 Gradient: Essence - Very Berry & Essence - Meet me now

Last but not least I got the loose deltoid shaped glitter in iridescent pink which I used on my Halloween manicure. It looks pink in the pot but over black became orange to green but I'll have to use it over different colors. I applied a coat of black polish and put my nail into the pot so the glitter has stuck on my nail. Applied a layer of top coat to get a smooth surface and that's it! 

Close up, full mani here.

I'm sorry for this really bad review. :$ I know you can't really help yourself but I would recommend the studs and the cases, not really a fan of this deltoid shaped glitter, because it's pretty small so you can't really place them on one by one, I'm just too lazy for that. :-D I'm more a hexagonal glitter fan in every possible color, yes please!!!! 

Don't forget to use code J10X31 to get 10% off on your order. ;)

Oh and thanks for all the votes for my Halloween manicure I posted in my last post. I didn't make it to the top 13 but I was happy to at least try!  :D Now please help me bring my inspiration back and tell me what would you love to see here. :)

Xoxo,
Ivana :k

Essence TE Re-mix Your Style Swatches & Nail Wheel Review

Guess what just hit our stores??? :) Essence's Re-mix Your Style Trend Edition. <3 I've been waiting for this collection for ages and it's finally available in DM (hurry up, you can't miss all these pretties :) ).

I'm so broke without any money so my mom helped me get these. :h 6 base colors and 4 special top coats were released in this collection but I wanted just some of the topcoats. 

I picked Dance, Love and Pop top coats, I left behind Rock TC because I'm not a fan of dark colors. :) I just got nail wheels from Born Pretty Store to review so I decided to show them on nail wheel but of course I can't wait to put my new beauties on nails.

Here're the polishes I used on nail wheel down below:

Wet n Wild - Black Créme

Essence Dance Top Coat - Waking up in Vegas

Essence Love Top Coat - Feels so good

Essence PopTop Coat - Just can't get enough

Here are all TCs layered over a Black Créme . :L

 

 From Top to Bottom

Essence Pop Top Coat - Just can't get enough / 2 coats

Essence Love Top Coat - Feels so good / 1 coat 

Essence Dance Top Coat - Waking up in Vegas / 2 coats

Wet n Wild - Black Créme / 1 coat

They look amazing layered over a black! Bottles look so boring but when you apply them over a color, they become gorgeous! <3 

Just can't get enough (Pop) is a light pink base shimmer with holographic glitter. It's pretty amazing in person as on pictures and very opaque so I add 2 coats and like you can see, you can't even see a black under. I love this beautiful scattered shimmer inside, great job Essence, now you really made a holographic TC, I actually thought that this will be just another duochrome.... xD

Feels so Good (Love) is a very beautiful duochrome TC like those CND Sparkle effects. It changes the color depending on lightning, I only caught this beautiful lilac sparkle. 

Waking up in Vegas (Dance) is probably the diamond of this collection. How can you miss a flakie top coat for such an awesome price? :o It's just perfect. It looks like Nubar - 2010 what I've seen from some comparison posts but if you ask me, Essence wins, just because of the low price. :)

Essence should put all of these top coats in their regular range with other special toppers because these are just amazing. :L Unfortunately when this TE will be sold out, you probably won't be able to find it anywhere so be sure you grab them when you find them. :/ 

Let me say just a few words about my new nail wheels. I wanted them forever and when I got another opportunity to review some things from Born Pretty Store I decided to give them a try. I got 10 pieces of Clear False Nail tips Art Display Practice Wheels.

They came in one piece because they packed them great, so no issues with broken nail wheels. I like that they're clear, idk why but they just look prettier than the white one. :)

Now I can't wait to paint them all. :D They're great, because you can see how the polish looks like when you apply it, you can paint all your nail polishes you have and see if you have any dupes, you can try to make a nail art first on them and after you see the result, you can make same manicure on your nails, etc... :) Every piece has 20 "nails", so you can try 200 combinations with this set but if you want more, you can order another set, they're not so expensive.

You can get 10 pieces for a nice price $6.15 and use code IRJ61 for 10% off on your order. :)

Do you use nail wheels? Why? For nail art, for keeping a track of your collection? What do you think about Re-mix collection? What are your favorites? Did you manage to get any of these? Can't wait to hear your responds!

I got another stamping plate from BPS but I can't find it. I've been loosing things in my room forever and it annoys me so much lately. :/ As soon as I find it, I'll try to make a manicure with! :)

Thanks for reading! :rainbow

Xoxo,
