bornprettystore.com HAUL! (picture heavy)

All my stuff

And again...

Cute business card they send :)

So I recently found this site called bornprettystore.com and I fell in love. They supply nail stuff mostly but they have makeup and accessories too. I went on a little spree and pressed 'add to cart' way too many times... Everything came wrapped in bubble wrap and foam. It was shipped on the 14th of February and arrived on the 1st of March so shipping wasn't bad since it came from Hong Kong!

Fimo canes

Came with two carousels and ten slicers


The first thing I got was a 100 pcs of Fimo canes. I've wanted these for ages and when I saw that they came with the carousels and the slicers I had to buy them! They cost $13.66. There are some I won't use, and I'll mostly use the fruit but all of them are so adorable! Smaller than expected though and slicers are super sharp.

Quadrate plate CK-04

42 designs


Next is this image plate. I loved the designs and the prices compared to Konad were dirt cheap! The only problem was that the design didn't cover my thumb :( But overall great at $7.56.

B. O. Youthful Light Blue

Er... Sorry about my nails...

Love, love, love, love this! It's so well pigmented and it was only $2.85. I really recommend this!

Colour changing nail polish

I had great fun with this! When you put your nails under cold water it changes purple, but when you run warm water over them they change blue... So much fun, very distracting! This was $7.84.

Numbered for different sizes

L-R: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Last, but definitely not the least is a 500 pcs of false nails. They come in numbered bags and for each number there is a different size and in each bag there are 50 nails. Love these, can't wait to try! $5.63.

Mini Nail Polish Haul!

Hey Everyone!
I was in Tk Maxx a while ago and I saw an amazing deal - 3 OPI nail polishes' for €12!
So I had to buy them...
This will probably sound crazy to some of you, but these are my first ever OPI's, so I'm so excited to use them.
They're so expensive here in Ireland, you'd pay €12 or €13 or even more for just one, that's why I've never bought any before, and also, they're really hard to find :O 

Anyway, here are the colours:
From left:
1. Chop-Sticking To My Story - Hong Kong Collection
-It's a beautiful muted-burnt-ginger-orange colour.

2. Fiercly Fiona - Shrek Forever After Collection
-A pastel yellow with a bit of a lime green tint thrown in.

3. Bling Dynasty - Hong Kong Collection
-A kind of dirty bronze-gold.
(It reminds me of Baked from my Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV, or Half Baked from the Naked Palettes)

 
The only shade I've tried is Bling Dynasty - It lasted ages without a top coat!

C'ya!

Pink & Blue Leopard Print Nails: How to




Essence in "72 Fall for Me"

Rio in Black and a Shimmery Pink

And Again



1. I purchased false nails in Penneys (Primark) for €1.50.
2. Coated the nails with two coats of Essence in "72 Fall for Me" which is a light blue colour.
3. Next, I put random spots of pink on the nail using a shimmery pink colour.
4. I circled the pink with a big "C" on one side and a small "c" on the other.
5. I left some pink splodges for effect.
6. Coated in Konad topcoat polish for a long-lasting effect.
