New Born Pretty Store nail polish! New bottle New Collection



Today I am sharing a review on a new nail polish from Born Pretty Store.
This polish is available on their website since June 6 and I was sent this shade to try out. This polish is called Young BP-FS03 and it is part of the collection Flower in Sunshine series.

This was sent to me because Born Pretty Store has lauched a new packaging bottle and some new shades. The bottle is very cute and elegant, it contains 6 ml of product, the brush holder is black with gold details and the logo on the bottle is in gold too.
This collection "Flower in sunshine" is defined as a mermaid shell glimmer.



The shade that I have is a beautiful duochrome from blue to purple with a lot of holographic glitters. the effect is really amazing. The shade is quite sheer so I tought that the best use of this nail polish was as a topper. I was also curious to know how this shade would turn on different colour bases.

The company was kind enough to offer a 10% discount to my readers. Just use promo code RASX31  during checkout. Shipping is free on all orders as well!


This is how the shade looks on purple. I love how it turned out. It  enhanced the base colour and added a glittery finish.




This is how it looks on black. Of course the result is darker and more galaxy like. The glitter gives a grany surface that caputre the light but if you dont like it you can use a glossy top coat.
I only did one coat over a base colour.






There are other collections to choose from, holographic, duochrome and magnetic nail polishes.
I can't wait to try other shades soon!

Bokeh effect nails


In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".


The term comes from the Japanese word boke (暈け or ボケ), which means "blur" or "haze", or boke-aji (ボケ味), the "blur quality". The Japanese term boke is also used in the sense of a mental haze or senility.[8] The term bokashi (暈かし) is related, meaning intentional blurring or gradation.

This are the pictures I took inspiration from for this nail art!

To recreate this effect I only used two brand new products from Born Pretty Store.

Here is a small video that I have filmed to show you the entire process:



I started placing the holographic round sequins first.


The jar contains 3 sizes of rounded sequins 3 mm, 2 mm and 1 mm. The shade is very particular between a silver and a holographic effect. The reson why I started with these sequins is because they are more light and reflective so they will give brightness to the bokeh effect.

Then I added these second kind of sequins.



  This second kind of sequins is made with a translucent foil (I think the one used for laser or broken glass nail art). There are 3 sizes mixed: 3mm in a green shade, 2 mm in a red shade and 1 mm in a blue purple shade.

These last item is the trick to give the nail art a realistic bokeh effect.
I place all the sequins  on wet black nail polish with a dotting tool. I try to concentrate the bigger one on the center and smaller and disperse  toward the cuticles and tips of the nails. You don't have to be too precise, if some of the dots overlap a bit is even better.

There are also others shapes avaible such as flowers, stars, hexagon, hearts, butterflies, squares.

Maybe next time I will try to recreate one of these effects:

All over holo!

Let's be honest some days in a life are shitty as hell and in those days you need an extra sparkle.
Something able to capture every ray of light and trasform it in a beautiful rainbow!
What am I talking about? Love? Wine? Xanax?
Nahhhh! Holo powder!





The Holo powder that I used for these nails is from www.bornprettystore.com
You can find it at this link
http://www.bornprettystore.com/holographic-glitter-powder-holo-glitter-dust-powder-manicure-nail-decoration-p-36930.html

 for only 1.99 in different glitter sizes, the one I have is the finest one. It would be wonderful to try the bigger glitter too, maybe next time!




The holo dust comes in a transparent plastic container with the capacity of 3 gr.
It is very hard to capture with a camera the shifting magic of these kind of products! I don't know why but holo is very hard to get with full focus images so you need to take pictures or videos with the main subject out of focus.
You can believe me, under the sun light this powder is amazing.
I used a torch to show you the rainbow shifting in this video:



I used the powder over a holographic nail polish, I applied it only on the tip of the nails with a make up sponge.
Here is a small video tutorial:




Is your life still messed up? Yes?! But your nails are fabulous!
