Born Pretty Store | Turquoise Stone

Hello All. I have another nail art product review from Born Pretty Store. This is a 50Pcs/set 3D Nail Decoration Natural Crack Stone Flat Base Nail Art Accessory in turquoise. These gorgeous turquoise stones look like real semi precious stones and make a really cool 3D nail art. To make it extra special I also added some 3D gold beads, also from Born Pretty Store. I love how real these turquoise stones look on my nails. I paired them with my turquoise ring to show the similarities.

Beauty Big Bang | Beads Nails Studs

Hello Lovelies, today I have another product from Beauty Big Bang to share with you all. This one is 3 Colors Gold Sliver Champagne Steel Mixed Nail Studs 3D Nail Decorations. The beads come in gold, rose gold and silver, in 4 different sizes(0.8mm/1.0mm/1.2mm/1.5mm), so there's plenty to choose from. I used gold, smallest and second smallest beads from the bunch for the nails below.

I started by painting freehand peacock like pattern on my nails using a nail art brush with polishes - Zoya's Wyatt and Purity. I also used Formula X's Provocative. Then once the pattern was finished I added the gold beads studs from Beauty Big Bang on my nails and sealed it with top coat. Once sealed with top coat these studs won't come off until you remove them with polish, which was really nice as I was worried they might come off easily. You can purchase these beaded studs from Beauty Big Bang by clicking HERE, for $2.99, Product Code SKU: J1485. You can get 10% OFF your entire purchase from Beauty Big Bang by using my code NCONTEXT10. Beauty Big Bang offers FREE SHIPPING world wide.

Beauty Big Bang - Shimmer Tape Review

Hello Everyone. Today I am sharing review of another product from Beauty Big Bang. This is a pretty stripes shimmer nails tape.

These shimmery tape come in a zip sealed bag for protection. This tape is made of glitter and is so elegant. This comes in lots of beautiful colors but I choose the multicolored one, product code - SKU: J1478-MC. This tape is really easy to use and can be applied on the mails in many different ways. I used a plain white base to showcase these glittery, colorful, shimmery tape on my nails. I sealed it with a top coat (which made some of the color from the tape to smear on the nails, but I fixed it nevertheless). I like how this tape looks in the sunlight and the effect is very nice. You can purchase it online from Beauty Big Bang for $2.49 by clicking HERE.

Nail Care: Burt's Bees

Hello Friend's, today I am sharing some product information about nail care. I am often asked by friends, family and colleagues about nail care and what they really mean by nail care is cuticle care. So today I decided to share about my favorite and trusted cuticle product. One of my most used product to keep my cuticles from drying is Burt's Bees cuticle cream. This cream helps to keep cuticles smooth and nourished for a long time. It's a bit greasy on application but you need to massage it in on your cuticles and around your nails in order for it to sink in. The packaging is very cute and its tiny size makes it very easy to carry it around. But don't be fooled by its tiny size. It took me almost a year to finish this tiny box and buy a new one. As it says on the box, the flavor is lemon and it smells the same, very lemony. Among all the other products I tried for cuticles - Lush, Sally Hansen, etc, this one is the one that I found very effective. Hope you find this product review helpful and if you have any questions let me know in the comments section below.

I Scream for Ice Cream

Hello Lovelies. Today I am reviewing the 3D nail art from Dimension Nails . I received 3 different styles from them: Castle Rock, Gum Drop and Notorious. These are long rubber like white stickers in different 3D shapes. Because of the material it becomes easy to cut them and make any shapes out of them which you want. For the pictures below, I used Castle Rock to create cup for my ice cream nails. I painted it using brown nail polish before applying it to my nails and the rest of the design I did free-hand.

These 3D nail art stickers create really cool and edgy look but is definitely not for everyday use. If you are into 3D nails this a must-try product for you since the possibilities with this are endless. You can cut, create as many designs as you want and in any color. Since these stickers are plain white you can paint over them with any color you want. This way they can either blend with your nails or stand out. I wanted my 3D ice cream nails to stand out (why not?) so I painted them with a different color. These 3D stickers retail at $6.99 and can be bought online right HERE. I can't wait to create more 3D nails with it. So here are my Ice Cream nails for this summer.

Product of the Week - Butter London's Backstage Basics Set

Hi All. From today on I am starting a new series called "Product of the Week". In this series I will be sharing the amazing products or hard to resist deals that I will come across on my shopping trips (mostly nail art related, unless I really get excited about something ;P ).

So to start with I am sharing my first "Ah-ma-zing" find. I found this awesome product from Butter London called 'Backstage Basics' Customizable Set while shopping at Ulta store earlier this week. Why is it amazing? I tell you why. Now if you are familiar with Butter London products you would know their polishes are 3 Free: no formaldehyde, no toluene, no DBP (dibutyl phthalate) and are usually priced $15. Butter London also carries Top and Base coats which are priced $19 each.

Now the fun thing about this 'Backstage Basics' Customizable Set is that, it includes Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat and Hardwear P.D. Quick Topcoat, Powder Room Acetone Free Lacquer Remover, and a complimentary nail file. The reason it is "Customizable" is because you can also add a Butter London polish of your choice in this set, all for only $29.

Now I personally love their Base coat and Top coat. And that's what I use for all my nail art's and manicure. And if you follow my nail art closely, you would have noticed that I use Butter London's Cotton Bud white polish in most of my nail art's where white is needed. So this was a steal for me, not to mention I was buying this set for the second time :) So if you want to try out their base coat and top coat, I would definitely recommend this product.

This set is available at Ulta stores and Nordstrom stores.

How do you all like this new series? Would you like to see more products like the above, in future? Then let me know in the comments section below.
