Born Pretty Store flakies review!

Today I have a super sparkling review for you!
The company Born Pretty Store has been so nice to send me some products to try for you.
It is a set of 5 boxes of iridescent flakies!
I have tried iridescent flakies before and I love them. these ones are a bit different because the flakies are smaller and in the set you will have all colours available.

They all comes in nice jars that contains approx. 1g of products.
 In the jar they all look pretty the same, a white iridescent colour with a delicate hint of colour but I the effect on different base colour is amazing!



It is very easy to use this product:
They don't require a special base or top coat  but it is recommended to use these flakies over a dark nail polish for a more vivid effect.
Apply a layer of gel or regular polish and while it is still sticky add flakies on top using a fan brush or the little sponge you find in the box (it looks like an eyeshadow applicator).   Maybe you should let the polish dry for a few a minutes.  The polish should be tacky but not completely wet.  I then dipped my  brush into the pot of flakies and then dabbed onto my nail. If you don't have a brush you can use your fingertip.
Apply a thick layer or two of your favorite top coat to finish.
You can use matte or glossy top coat.


Each one will have a different colour shift




Can't decide which is the best top coat for this nail style.



As you can see on black the colour shift is amazing.

                                                        A beautiful jade green

                                                               an amber yellow

                                                      a deep blue purple

                                            a beautiful duochrome light purple and green


The last jar is not iridescent but it is pure holo!

Glitter triangle tip nail art!



Hello!
In this nail art I combined two nail polishes I reviewed few posts ago!
I really enjoyed playing with them and I think that these two shades work very well together.
This look is really easy to achieve and you don't have to do it on all your nails, you can do just an accent nail if you like.



As base I used a black matte nail polish. I suggest you to let it dry completely, this is very important because the next step will be to use some tape on your nails.

The tape is perfect to create a precise triangle you can use normal tape or nail art tape. You can cut two pieces of the tape to create the shape of triangle,or any shape you want.



For thumbs and ring finger I create two triangles one inside the other, the first one with the Born Pretty Store Shell shimmer in the colour Only You , it goes from the tip of the nail untill the cuticle, and another smaller one with the Chamelion Flakie polish in the shade M12 Destiny Fairy.
On the remaining nail I made a smaller triangle and painted it with Destiny Fairy.



I think the contrast between the matt dark colour the shimmer pearlescent of Only you and the flakie polish.

Iridescent flakies nail art!



Hello!
Today I have a super flakie nail art!
Flakies are big trend now in nail art. They appear years ago in some nail polish, they usually were released has temporary collection and often advertised as "special effect" polishes. for example I own a very old polish from the brand Deborah that was claimed as a 3d effect, but it was only a clear polish with flakies. These were all beautiful polishes but all very expensive.
Now the flakie nail art is a big thing and flakies are sold in powder form so you can have small jars full of wonderful and sparkling flakies at a small price! Isn't that wonderful?

When Alice form Born Pretty Store contacted me for a collaboration I was very eager to try  these flakies.

You can find them at this link http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-chameleon-cloud-paillette-iridescent-flakies-powder-irregular-nail-sequins-flakes-p-39759.html for 2.59 usd. For this nail art I used colour number 2. They are available in many colours. All colours shift is amazing under any kind of light!



The product comes in a jar with a nice sponge apllicator. You will get approx. 2 gr of product.







As base I used black but you can play with your imagination and try different colours combination.
What I like about these flakies is that they are very very thin.   These flakes are extremely lightweight and instantly airborne upon opening the jar. They will get everywhere if you are not careful, we don't want to waste this magic product!

Here is a video to show you how simple is to use this flakies and how spectacular and vibrant is the result!
