Beauty Big Bang Review: Decals, Metallic Foil, and Holo Dust

Hello, lovelies! It's been a while, and I miss you! This time, I have some new items from Beauty Big Bang to review for you. Check out these beauties: a variety pack of decals with rainbow tweezers (item #ZHSP0623, $4.99), Halloween decals (item #J6506TM-4A, $1.99), metallic foil (item #U0901-4C, $0.69), and magic reflective holo dust (item #J6458TM-2C, $0.89). Check it out!

First, I want to get into this decal pack! It comes with 10 sets of water slide decals along with rainbow detail tweezers. I definitely recommend it. The decals are so simple: cut out the decal you want, peel off the film, use the tweezers to soak it in water for a few seconds (the longer it soaks, the easier it is to slide off the backing... around 30 seconds makes it come off really easy), slide the image off of the backing, position it on your nail, dab with some cotton to dry it off and press water out from underneath it, clean up the edges with acetone and a cleanup brush, then apply a topcoat. Too easy. You can tell by these designs that you have a lot of freedom with how your mani ends up looking. You can paint a basecoat of white or some other color before applying the decals, or you can just use it over bare nails for a cute peek-a-boo look.

 

And, of course, my Halloween nails! Ready to go to a themed party in minutes, and it looks so charming. These decal sets come with 12 nail decals, not just 10. That means you have lots of personalization in how you mix and match them.

This foil is so fun to work with. I just tore up little pieces and gently pressed them onto my painted nails. The foil is so great because it's 2-tone. The foil I chose has bright blue on one side and gold on the other. The foil is so delicate, I love the texture it gives to the design! Here's a bonus: I bet you're thinking that looks like a pain to remove? Nope. The foil is so thin, it just removes as easily as regular polish.

And now for the ultra mirror holo dust! I put the dust over black polish and white polish. There is just no way pictures can show the full mirror holo as reflective and colorful as it is in person. It's pretty easy to work with. Just use the sponge tool it comes with, and gently rub it onto your freshly-painted dry-to-the-touch nails. Shown below without topcoat!

Here's your juicy macro... It captures some of the rainbow!

Overall, I really enjoyed these items. The decal pack comes with so many options for different nail designs; good quality for a good price. I think my favorite was probably that metallic foil, it was so much fun. But the holo dust is so pretty too!.

Born Pretty Review: Magnifying Gems, Vinyl Stencils, and a Stylish-Functional Ring

Hello, lovelies! I've got another fun-filled package from Born Pretty Store to review for you! Inside, we have got some magnifying gems (item #25219, $2.78), vinyl stencils (item #24485, $3.99), and the artists' palette ring (item #23985, $5.08). I can't wait to show you where I went with these items, so let's get to it!

Gems first! Now, these little bubbles hold tons of possibilities. Because of their contours, they have a way of magnifying things. It really creates an interesting effect on your nails. Of course, I had to try these out over holo polish! You can see the way the rainbow shines through. It looks so cool in person!

Next, I'll share my thoughts on the vinyl stencils. They're so easy to use! They're super sticky so the polish does a good job of staying within the lines, they're super flexible so it's easy to form them around your nails, and they peel off in one piece leaving no residue behind. I made a simple picture that shows the steps. 1) Apply whatever base color you like. 2) Peel the stencil from its backing and press it onto your nail once the base is completely dry. 3) Paint a second color of polish over the stencil, or use a cosmetic wedge to sponge the polish on if you prefer. 4) Remove the stencil and admire your design!

 

This ring is too adorable! It's made of solid metal, and is shaped just like a tiny artists' palette! The band of the ring is adjustable to better suit your finger girth (see below). You can fill the indentations with nail polish or with acrylic paint. Then, you've got easy access to all the colors you need for your working on the tiny canvases that are your nails! It's also a great way to mix colors and get the perfect shade without making a horrible mess of your workspace. Honestly, this ring would even be cute to wear on its own.

And, of course, an action shot! I used my ring to hold a few acrylic paints for my ladybug art. It was so convenient (and a workspace saver) to have my paints right next to my nails. It's also a great way to mix colors before applying them to your nail.

BONUS ROUND: Patriotic stickers (item #20557, $1.96)! These hit my mailbox a little while after the other items, and I was so happy when they came. These are so perfect for holidays in the USA (Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, Independence Day, etc.) as well as elections and political/military events. Basically, they're great to wear anytime you want to feel patriotic! They're definitely not water slide decals. You just peel them off of the backing and stick them to your nails. Add a layer of top coat to make the design last longer. I really like that the image itself is opaque, and the background is clear. So, you can put them over basically any color and they'll look great!

Man, I really loved this review package. Just look at the variety of fun designs you could make with these items! Really, if I had to pick one must-have out of this package for you nail art lovers, it would be that ring! Even if you aren't particularly enthusiastic about freehanding, this makes it pretty nice. You see how simple my ladybug was and she turned out cute!

Born Pretty Review: Clear Jelly Stamper, Floral Decals, Nail Stickers,and Bacon Vinyls?

Hello, lovelies! I hope you're all doing well. I've been getting through some challenges in my life recently, but I'm confident and hopeful for the future! I had so much fun with my latest review package from Born Pretty Store. Check out this variety of items: the clear jelly stamper (item #24021, $4.59), some floral decals (item #20320, $3.99), metallic gold stickers (item #23018, $3.30), and stencil vinyls (item #20782, $4.59).

Hooray! I finally got to try out the coveted clear jelly stamper. With recent stamping trends, this stamper has got to be the most popular new tool. Let me talk about why that is. Most stamper heads are opaque; you cannot see through them. This may make it easy to see some stamped polishes (e.g., black stamping polish will show up great on a white stamper head), but I have one major complaint about them. I have no idea where I'm placing the image on my nail! This has been an endless source of frustration for me while stamping. Even when the other steps have been flawless, poor stamp placement results in a crooked and sloppy-looking manicure. This fully transparent stamper head resolves any such frustration! You can look through the back end of the stamper and see exactly where you are stamping your design. With this precision, stamping becomes a more enjoyable and rewarding process for me. This stamper has become my new favorite. The image pickup is slightly different from other stamper heads I've used, so I needed to practice a little to become acquainted with it. In the end, however, it's much easier to use than other stampers. If you've been debating on picking one up, I would encourage you to do so. Check out some of these stamping manis. In the first one, I double-layered the hearts with extreme precision! In the second one, I was able to finally use a centered stamping design. This was so satisfying!

Ah, I love a good floral pattern. It could be bright and cheerful or dark and moody. There's just a nice elegant feeling about them. The floral decal variety pack has something for any manicure: fun, stately, or romantic. Honestly, when I picked this item out, I thought I would only get one pattern! I was surprised to see four patterns included. As with all decals I have gotten from Born Pretty, I found these blissfully easy to use. Simply cut out the part you want to use, peel off the film, dip the decal in a cup of water, slide it off the backing, then stick it on your nail. In this first design, I cut triangular shapes from the decal. I applied the triangles over a white polish base, and finished it with a matte top coat. This design was so bright and summery, I loved seeing it on my nails during these cold winter months! I was pleasantly surprised to find that these decals are so easy to use for full-nail designs. Just use the same technique to apply the decal over your whole nail. Using acetone and a cleanup brush, you can easily remove the excess from around your cuticles. It's too simple!

This was my first time using metallic nail stickers. I have seen lots of pictures floating around lately of some really nice-looking metallic designs so I was really excited to test them. My verdict: YES! These things are fantastic. They are so easy to use! You cut out the part you want to use on your nail, peel it off the backing, and stick it on! I sealed it in with top coat to help it last long.

I have used some vinyl nail stencils before, and I believe they're a wonderful tool to have in your mani kit. This pack contained two stencil designs: zebra print and wavy lines. The stencils have crisp lines, and the adhesive is very effective. They are easy to separate from the packaging and stick to the nail. Once on the nail, the adhesive prevents polish from bleeding around the edges. You can either paint over the stencil just the same way you paint your nail, or you can sponge the polish on. I prefer the sponging method since it seems less messy (and you can add a gradient too!). In this first design, I sponged on a neon rainbow base, applied the zebra stripe vinyls, then sponged on some black glitter polish. I love this look! Now I'll be honest, my boyfriend came up with the genius idea for bacon nails using the wavy lines stencil! I laughed at first then decided I seriously wanted to give it a try. I'm keen on the results!

Bonus item! Now, here is an example of the fantastic customer service at Born Pretty. I requested to review these golden feather charms for my last review package. Somehow, it was overlooked so Alice at Born Pretty hooked me up by sending the charms as a bonus with this package! Isn't that great? These charms are so beautiful and delicate. I'm impressed by the shine and detail of these charms. Additionally, the backs are curved so that they are easy to comfortably include in a manicure.

I definitely had fun with this review post! Truly, the clear jelly stamper is my new favorite stamper. It's just perfect! I would say that's my top pick of the bunch as a nail art kit must-have. But everything was enjoyable and easy to use and you could employ your creativity to come up with a million unique designs!

Influenster Review: Spice VoxBox

Hello, lovelies! I was selected by Influenster to review a collection of products included in the Spice VoxBox. Huzzah! This was such an exciting package for me to go through, and guess what... It included nail polish. Yes! Okay, so now let's get to it. First, I'll provide an overview of the products, then talk about my opinions of each one, and conclude with my overall impression of this VoxBox.

Here is my unboxing photo. Included were the following products: Good Health Veggie Stix, SoapBox Shampoo & Conditioner, Foot Petals Give 'Em the Boot, Yogi Tea Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy, Not Your Mother's Whip it Up Cream Styling Mousse, Boots Botanics Hydrating Day Cream, and (last but not least) SinfulColors SinfulShine 2-Step Manicure.

These Good Health brand Veggie Stix were pretty darn tasty. Of course the whole bag got eaten within about two sittings, hehe. I am a strange lady who isn't a huge fan of traditional potato chips; I find them to taste like nothing but grease and salt. That being said, the Veggie Stix were packed with authentic flavors. They didn't have that typical grease taste you find with regular potato chips. Salt levels were very appropriate. They're made with just the right of sea salt to season them without going overboard and making me run for a glass of water. They're extra crunchy and oh so snackable. The stix in the bag are an assortment of red, yellow, and green. They each had a slightly different taste. If I had to rate my favorite colored stix, it would be: red, green, yellow starting with my most favorite! My boyfriend liked the yellow ones best and the red ones were last on his list. So we got along well when we shared a bowl of them!

I have used the SoapBox Shampoo & Conditioner for a few weeks now and truly love the way it makes my hair smell and feel. The consistency of these products is somewhat different from the kind I'm accustomed to using. Well, the conditioner is much thicker anyway. Especially during cold winter months, it is somewhat challenging to coax the conditioner out of the bottle! However, that is about where my complaints end. The natural clean feeling the shampoo provides is so refreshing. Without all the weird chemicals, it still works up to a luxurious lather in your hair. Once you manage to distribute it through your hair (I recommend splashing some water on to help), the conditioner smooths out tangles and rinses easily to leave hair nourished withougt all that residue. I take my showers at night, and my hair is smelling tropical all throughout the following day! But here's the best part: each SoapBox purchase provides either a bar of soap or one month of clean water to somebody in need! So, you can have healthy hair and feel awesome that you helped a person in need. At around $6 for a bottle, it's an easy choice. You can also enter the code on your bottle on their website to see detailed information on where your money went!

The Foot Petals Give 'Em the Boot product is one of my favorites out of this box! What you get are two large insoles which are easily cut to the desired shape and size for the shoe in which you want to put them. These insoles are thick and warm so they're perfect to add to boots during cooler months! They completely transform your ouchie stylish boots to comfy walking boots. I added them to my really cute but not entirely comfortable Blowfish booties and I was fine walking around downtown all day. My complaint is that the insoles are a little thick and I have very high arches. This caused my arches to feel too tight against the upper portion of my shoes. After a while, the tops of my feet where the arches are became irritated. But that probably wouldn't be an issue with roomier boots, or for people with flatter feet.

Let me say that I am a huge tea lover. I drink a cup (or two, or twenty) every day. I enjoy all varieties of tea, from floral white tea to spicy red tea. I don't discriminate; I love Japanese, African, and English tea. Anyway, tea raving aside, I found this Yogi Tea Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy to be a very pleasant cup. The flavor was a little sweeter than what I am used to, as I add no sweeteners to my teas. If you prefer some sugar in your tea, I think you might like to try this one without! It certainly has a sweet citrus flavor. I also found that it was potent enough to refill my cup once more using the same tea bag. I think on the third refill, it lost the majority of its taste. But you can definitely get two cups out of one tea bag (and I didn't use a small mug either). Now, I always make a point to draw calm energy from tea when I drink. It's a practice in mindfulness. I couldn't tell you whether the "positive energy" I felt from this tea was distinct from what I usually feel, but it was there nonetheless! The only potential drawback to this particular tea is that it has that "Yogi Tea" flavor to it. You know what I mean. Some people enjoy that taste (I'm partial to it) and others don't, but it seems present in all their teas and this is no exception.

Not Your Mother's mousse is one of the most delicious things I have ever smelled! Seriously, I was not expecting it to smell this edible... My hair is naturally wavy, borderline curly. So, I inherited some frizz struggles! Sometimes it can be difficult for me to tame my hair. I love using mousse products because I feel that they showcase the natural body of my hair while still keeping the frizz at bay. I was not disappointed in this product. It seems a little less sticky and crunchy than other mousses, and keeps my hair smelling tasty all day!

The day cream from Boots Botanics has worked wonders on my skin! I have combination skin, and I tend to be put off by the feeling of lotions/creams on my face. Go figure, right? I love it anywhere else on my body! Anyway, this cream wasn't too unsettling for me to use on my face. And, actually, during these cold and windy Chicago days, it has really made a difference. Rather than having problems with dry patches of thirsty skin, it has felt soft, even, and moisturized. If I were to buy day creams, I would definitely consider purchasing from Boots Botanics.

SinfulColors is a nail polish brand I have already known and loved for years now. The polish is inexpensive, high quality, and easy to find in stores (with an expansive selection of colors). Since I already trust this brand to come out with a great polish, I was excited to try out the new SinfulShine 2-Step Manicure system! The color I received was this gorgeous purple called "Mystique". The 2-Step system comes with the colored polish and the top coat. I still used my own base coat for this mani to protect my nails of course. And, before sealing the mani with the top coat, I applied some decals. I really enjoy the way this one turned out. The purple shines with such depth, and the light catches a range of colors from pink to blue. You can sort of see the shimmer in this photo, but just trust me that it's even more brilliant in person!

Overall, I was really satisfied with every product in the Spice VoxBox. Best of all, these are all products I actually use! Influenster did a fantastic job putting together this eclectic box. As with all PR samples like this, I received all the products free for honest testing and review purposes. The opinions stated in this blog post are my own.

Born Pretty Review: Metal Nail Deco, Moonstone, and Native Patterns

Hello, lovelies! I've been so busy lately with my school work. It has been a busy semester and dissertation has got my head spinning! Needless to say, I was so excited to receive my review package from Born Pretty Store. Check out the products that were included: festive seasonal metal nail decoration charms (item #22962, $3.66), faux moonstone nail studs (item #20582, $3.73), and Native American patterned water decals (item #21536, $3.23).

Let's start with the metal deco charms. What I love most about this charm wheel is the fact that it comes with a variety of seasonal shapes. There is something here for every occasion: Christmas, Halloween, birthdays, weddings, spring, summer, fall, winter... And the shapes are made with different metallic shades as you can see here:

Here is a wintery design I created using some of the charms. When working with certain ones (especially something wider, such as the large snowflakes), I found it helpful to work with a dry base color so that I could press down on the charm. Since they are thin metal, they are easily bent and manipulated to form to the curve of your nail. In this manicure, I used Salon Perfect "Baby Blues" for a base with a combination of My Kinda Color "Glitterlicious" and Regal Ween Lacquer "Winter is Coming" for some snowy glitter on top. For my moose accent nail, I sponged OPI "Angel with a Lead Foot" on the tip of my nail.

Next up are these simply beautiful iridescent moonstone-like rhinestones! It's okay to drool on your keyboard. I wish that pictures could capture the way they sparkle. I did my best but you'll have to take my word that they're even prettier in person. Just admire the vibrant pastel shades that do show up in photos...

Here are a couple manis in which I used the rhinestones. With all the unique shapes in this wheel, you could come up with thousands of designs. The first one was created using Born Pretty stamping plate BP24 (item #17203, $2.99). The light purple polish is Sally Hansen "Lacey Lilac" and the dark holo glitter purple is ZR's Polish "Sparkling Geranium" (which I named, yeah!). I used both of them as base colors and stamping polish. The rhinestones add a whole new level to the stamping design.

For my base in the second one, I used a black creme polish whose name I can't remember. I topped it with KleanColor "Holo Chrome". The photo is a little unfocused because I was trying to provide a different look at  the shine of the rhinestones compared to the first picture, as well as show off the holo of my polish a little better!

Ever since I first went away to college, I have loved everything Native American! My alma mater is Florida State and the Seminole tribe is an important part of that university. Anyway, I love the way these water decals were designed. The patterns are colorful, trendy, and still hold to that true tribal feeling. Again, I'm seriously impressed with the quality of Born Pretty's water decals. Look at the dark shade that I used for my base color, and still got bold, solid colors from the decals. They were so easy to use: just cut out the piece you want to use, peel off the plastic film, soak the decal and paper backing in lukewarm water, slide the decal off the paper, and place it on your nail! To make sure it stays put, you can fire a blow dryer at your nails for a few seconds and then seal it in with a top coat. The polish I used for my base color in this one is Sinful Colors 2-Step Manicure in "Mystique".

Wow, I just realized how much blue and purple I've been using recently! I guess it's obvious they're among my top favorite colors, heh. Regardless, you can tell that I had tremendous fun playing with my new toys. :) I would definitely recommend these items if you're interested in fun designs like the ones I shared with you today.

Born Pretty Review: Bling, Nail Foils, and A New Way to Marble

Hello, lovelies! I hope this blog post finds you well. I received a wonderfully intriguing package from Born Pretty Store that I am pleased to share with you. Here are the goodies inside: crown nail ring (item #21304, $3.36), holographic nail foils (item #21590, $2.94), and marbling nail art comb (item #20690, $6.99).

Here are my reviews of each item, starting with this uber-glam princessey crown ring! This item comes in silver tone (just like mine) and gold tone. From images on their website, the gold version looks just as fabulous. The ring is made of metal and features sparkling rhinestones. The backside of the ring is adjustable to fit fingers of various girths. You can see that my fingers are on the slender to average side of the spectrum and I did not adjust the ring from the medium setting. There is room to make it smaller or larger. I think this little ring can add a truly glamorous look to any nail design!

Now this was my first time trying out nail foils. I did not use specific nail foil glue, but it seemed to work well enough just using nail polish once it’s somewhat dry but still tacky (at the point where you could make a fingerprint on your nail by pressing your fingertip on the nail). If you have never used foils before, make sure you are touching the matte side to your nail rather than the shiny side in order to transfer it from the backing to your nail! I do not recommend finishing with a topcoat since it can dull the holo. If you have a stick tool with a rubber hoof on the tip like the one I used in the picture below, that makes pressing the foils onto the nail quite easy. As you can see in my photo below, the foils can be applied to the entire nail by using a dabbing motion. They can also be cut into shapes and applied to the nail in that way. However you do it, I think this foil has an awesome holographic effect!

This next item, a marbling comb, requires a little bit of explanation. I have never seen a product like this before, so I was particularly excited to try it out and see what it can do. This tool features a plastic handle with uniformly spaced metal prongs. I’ll now provide you with some ideas for how to use the comb. This may look like a lot of steps but it’s really easier than it looks!

1. First, set up your workspace. You’ll need: a plastic zip-top baggie (i.e. Ziploc), clear nail polish (I recommend a fast-drying topcoat), nail polish colors of your choice (thin crème polish seems to work well), creativity, time, and your swanky marbling comb.
2. Paint a section of your baggie with clear polish. We will be making decals with this, so paint an area that’s slightly larger than what you’ll want to place on your nails.
3. Once this layer is completely dry, paint some stripes of your desired polish colors. Lay it on thick! Instead of painting stripes, you can try other designs as well: blobs, target-shapes, blocks.
4. When these stripes are still wet, gently drag the prongs of your comb through the polish. You can drag more than once if you wish, drag in a straight line or use a side-to-side motion… whatever your creative mind decides.
5. Once you’re satisfied with the look of your design, wait for it to completely dry. Depending on your design, you might want to give it a couple hours. After it’s dried, add a thin layer of topcoat.
6. Your decal is complete! Once the whole thing is dry, gently peel (starting at the edges) and lift your decal from the baggie. If it is not completely dry, you will notice as you begin to lift the central portion. If you notice the polish is somewhat gooey or resistant to peeling up, just lay it flat again and give it some more time to dry. If you’re struggling, you may want to try peeling the baggie away from the decal rather than peeling the decal off of the bag.
7. Carefully cut out pieces of the decal that you would like on each nail. For full-nail coverage, I recommend cutting a piece that is slightly larger than your actual nail. You can always trim more away, but if it’s too small then you’re stuck.
8. Get your nails cleaned up and ready to decorate. Painting them with a white base color can help your decal’s colors to seriously pop. When your base is slightly wet still, gently press your decal onto your nail. Do your best to prevent wrinkles from forming by using your fingertips to smooth it out.
9. Trim and file away the excess, then seal in your nail design with a final layer of topcoat. Beautiful!

Please let me know if you buy one of these marbling combs. I would love to see the ideas you come up with! Check out these fun designs:

I really think that these three items were unique and so much fun for nail artists at any level. The creative possibilities are endless! The marbling comb makes things so easy. You can come up with so many designs and execute them so easily this way. In my opinion, it was much easier than traditional water marbling. The cleanup was also much neater. I will admit that the nail foils take a bit of practice but they're worth the effort if you keep at it.

Born Pretty Review: White Roses and Happy Stickers

Hello, lovelies! I received another package of items from Born Pretty Store to review for you! Here are the items they sent: rose charms (item #17224, $3.07), 3D typography nail stickers (item #17458, $6.20), and Alice-themed water decals (item #17412, $3.89). I happily received the items just as they were pictured on the website. The rose charms came with five pieces, all of which were in perfect condition. The 3D stickers and water decals had become a little bent during shipping, but I tested using some of the stickers and decals that were along the bent portion and they worked just fine. It seems the only affected part was the paper backing portion which you don't use on your nails anyway!

Now, let me share some of the designs I created using these items since I'm having so much fun with them! First, here is a mani that reminds me of ballet... I used the water marbling technique with Color Mates "Sarasota Sand" and Wet 'n Wild Wild Shine "Tickled Pink" for the base of this mani. I decorated it with one of the white rose charms and a few other deco items I have in my stash.

Here is another shot to help you see how the charms look from various angles. I also showed them with a US penny to show a size comparison. Not to mention the special discount code just for my readers!

Next, I made an inspirational design featuring some of the 3D stickers with cutesy words: love, peace, believe, dream. Since there are so many different stickers on this sheet, you can really do such unique designs. There are stickers with solitary letters, stickers with words and phrases, and stickers with simple designs such as hearts and stars. For my base on this mani, I used Dainty Digits Polish "Eris" which has such a fun holo.

Finally, I created a Fathers' Day design using some letters from the 3D sticker sheet, as well as a cute little tie from the water decal sheet. This sheet includes some Alice in Wonderland images (i.e., rabbits, crowns, keys) as well as poker/card game designs, and ladies' and gentlemen's clothing (i.e., glasses, scarves, hats). My base color is My Kinda Color "It's a Green".

Overall, I am very satisfied with all three of the items in this package. The roses are small and cute for an elegant feminine look. However, if taller charms bother you when they stick out, you may want to purchase a more subtle charm. The 3D stickers were simple to use (just peel it off the backing and stick it to your nail then apply top coat) and had a clean finish, even if they didn't appear very 3D on the nail. The water decals were also easy to use, just don't forget to remove the plastic before dipping them in water!
