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!!!!

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,

Video Tutorial: Hot Pink Studded Nails

I got these hot pink studs from Born Pretty Store and I wanted to combine them with black but all blacks I have were too thick to use. After searching and trying to come up with another color combination, I stumbled upon a black I bought years ago and it still looked usable. 

Hot neon pink and black is probably my fave color combination so I was so happy when I managed to do my nails in that combo. :e

Here's what I came up with...

Nail Tek - Foundation 2

Manhattan - 1010N / 1 coat

Hot Pink Studs

Beauty Secrets TC Fast Finish Polish Dryer

I'm so in love with this manicure! :L First I wanted silver and gold studs but when I saw these, I knew I had to try them out. You can find them here on BPS. :e

These studs are round and big as rhinestones so the surface is really bumpy, which can be annoying and I have to hold back to not pull them off but when I look at my nails I think it's worth it. :D

I decided to film myself doing this manicure so I hope you'll like it. :e

I'm wearing this manicure for 2 days and some of the studs are missing but I could wear it for another day or two. They start falling off eventually but I think they still look pretty. :)

I just want to share a word or two about  cuticle cutter I got from BPS. They're really sharp and you can use them for many reasons. Just don't use them for cuticles! I usually cut those hang nails if I got them or like I did in Funky French Video, I used them for cutting the tape. :)

There are more versions of cuticle cutters on BPS, but even the cheapest works great! :)

Thanks for reading! Let me know what do you think about this manicure! Can you stand the bumpy surface when wearing studs or rhinestones? ^_^ Is there a tutorial you would like to see?

Xoxo,

Ivana :k
