Born Pretty Store: Fimo Canes

Fimo canes are perfect for adding dimension to your nail art. They come in lots of wonderful designs and it’s a great way to be sure that each image is exactly the same.

Born Pretty Store has gorgeous fimo canes!

You get 10 canes in a pack and the designs you get are completely random so you will hopefully get a nice mix. As you can see, I got some lovely ones!

I read a few reviews about how best to cut these and although a lot of people said a sharp kitchen knife would work, I found that was definitely not the case! I couldn’t get thin slices with a kitchen knife but a craft knife worked perfectly!

Once I had cut a pot full of fimo pieces I got creative and came up with two pretty looks!

This first one is a simple summer mani! I decided to keep things bright and went with a bold orange polish. I then added white blocks on two nails with some little polka dots. After adding a top coat I carefully placed on my flowers to neaten up the edge of the white section.

 

For my second design I’ve gone for all purple! Once I’d added two coats of colour to each nail I painted thin stripes with a nail art brush. I then used the cute purple cat pieces!

Keep Calm And Polish On

Today I have the perfect stamping plate from Born Pretty Store for all nail art fans!

As you can see this plate has the best designs to show off your love of nail art!

For my first look I decided to go for something simple but bold! I chose a bright blue as the base and a metallic gold to stamp the design. I think the contrast of these polishes are amazing for showing how fantastic these images look!

 

For my second mani I wanted something really fun and colourful. I started by painting my nails with white so that the colours would be super bright! I then striped on my chosen polishes. I decided on wearing the same design on each finger, I think the full nail print of little polish bottles is just perfect!

 

Each design transferred beautifully on to my nails and looked really great. I would definitely recommend this stamping plate. I think it’s a really wonderful addition to my collection!

Love Is In The Air

Valentine’s Day is almost here so I wanted to share a love themed nail art using one of my favourite Born Pretty Store stamping plates.

Here is my design..

I’ve used Barry M Blood Orange Gelly Paint and GOSH polish in Snow White for the base. Both are quick drying and only need two coats.

I’ve then used two designs from Born Pretty Store’s candy themed stamping plate, both of which I think are perfect for a Valentine’s mani. You can see my review of this plate by clicking on the link: Candy Stamping Plate

I completed my look with gold studs from a Primark set I got ages ago. They always have fun little sets of nail art accessories!

What nail look will you be wearing on Valentine’s Day?

Alice In Wonderland

It’s been a long time since I’ve done any real freehand nail art so I thought I would try out a little movie inspired design.

I watched Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland recently so decided to share my two favourite characters.

Here’s my finished look..

The Cheshire Cat and the Red Queen!

I’d love to know what you think of this!

Born Pretty Store: Bird Stamping Plate

It’s time for more pretty things from Born Pretty Store! This stamping plate is a perfect addition to any nail art collection..

Each design is beautifully detailed and a great way of adding something fun to your manicure!

I’ve been loving pastel colours just recently so I used two to create the base. I then added a cage on one nail and then the bird with flowers print on another.

 

I love that it looks like the bird has flown away from the cage!

For my next look I decided on much brighter shades. Neon flamingos are perfect for making dull days look better!

 

As with every plate I’ve tried, each design transferred really well on to the nails! There are plenty of images perfect no matter the length of your nails too. I also love the variety of single images and full nail designs.

Born Pretty Store: Simple Silhouette

I have my first Born Pretty Store post of the year to share with you and it’s definitely a good one!

I’m a huge fan of stamping plates, as I’m sure you know, and this one is gorgeous! There are 29 beautiful images for you to get creative with and I just love the classic silhouette style of each one!

The first look I tried out was this pretty pastel design..

I’ve gone for a soft gradient look with a little sparkle at the tips to match the adorable rainy day silhouette.

For my second design I went with a much bolder colour selection.

I used a white base polish and then brushed on a few bright shades. I love the contrast with the black images!

Each design transferred really well on to the nails and they look amazing too! This plate is a simple but stylish offering from Born Pretty Store and one I would definitely recommend.

Winter Nail Designs!

As promised, I have more nail art to share using the Christmas stamping plate from Born Pretty Store! You can see my first post about this plate HERE.

For the two looks in this post I’ve gone for darker winter designs.

First up I have another snowflake print mani but this time I’ve gone for shades of purple. I used Barry M’s Plum Gelly Paint for the base and Lilac Foil for the snowflakes.

 

For my next look I used Barry M’s Black Multi Glitter with Silver Foil.

 

I love the winter tree scene!

Check back soon for more Christmas nail art!

It’s Christmas Time!

I know it’s not even December yet but I wanted to share a beautiful Christmas stamping plate from Born Pretty Store. It usually takes around 3 weeks for my orders to arrive (to the UK) so if you order this soon there is a very good chance it will be here ready to use before Christmas!

Christmas is my favourite time of year so it’s no surprise that I absolutely LOVE this plate!

This first design is more of a winter look than Christmas so this should please everyone that thinks it’s too early to be wearing Santa on your nails! I think this snowflake print is fantastic. I opted for classic blue and white polishes with a little glitter.

 

Here’s a simple look in red and gold..

Born Pretty Store: Autumn Stamping Plate

Today I have another stamping plate from Born Pretty Store to share with you! This one is full of incredible designs!

I just love this! Every image is really detailed and coming up with nail designs to show off this plate was so fun!

This look was the first design I tried and I am definitely impressed with how well it turned out! I used a white base colour then sponged on pastel shades to create a little more depth behind the print. I know this would look great in lots of other colours too!

 

My next look is super easy but I really like the simplicity of the little dragonflies!

 

As with every plate I’ve tried from Born Pretty Store, this plate is fantastic quality and all the designs transfer beautifully onto the nails! Definitely a must for any nail art fan.

Born Pretty Store: Houndstooth Stamping Plate!

Born Pretty Store has some of the most wonderful stamping plates and I have some fantastic ones to share with you over the next couple of weeks! Today’s plate is full of the most gorgeous prints!

I love stamping plates as they help me create nail art that I wouldn’t be able to get if done freehand and houndstooth is a design I’ve been wanting to wear on my nails for a long time but I’ve never managed to get it quite right!

So of course, the first nail art I tried with this plate, was the houndstooth! I’ve kept the look simple and chic in black and grey.

 

Here’s another great look you can get with this plate!
