Five new Born Pretty “pretties” to share!

Born Pretty StoreThe other day I received some more pretties from Born Pretty Store. They always have such cool stuff and always something new. If you’re willing to wait a few weeks for your order, it’s always worth it. Let’s see what they sent!

What a fun batch of goodies sent to me by the folks at Born Pretty! Link is body of post…Center then clockwise from top left: Black Chrome, BP stamping plate BP-X51, BP Cat Eye gel polish #02, BP stamping polish in gold, and BP double-sided jelly stamper with swipe card.

Remember, listed below after the images are links to each item. Let’s start with the gorgeous gold stamping polish by Born Pretty and sidenote: I wish I had a bigger bottle of this because it’s that good!

BP gold stamping polish is aaammmaaazzzing! Super easy to stamp and here it is stamped over black.

This cool new double-sided jelly stamper is perfect having a small end 2.3 cm, for small or pinky nails and the other end is medium 2.8 cm

A great little double-sided jelly stamper, easy to see through to place your stamp exactly where you need it, small side is great for small nails and especially your pinky! Other side is medium.

I love this little Kitty stamping plate, because you know, I’m all about cats!

BP-X51 square stamping plate is chock full of kitty cats. I stamped BP black and white stamping polish over pink.

An all new type of chrome pigment powder in black! Now I think mine didn’t quite come out as I expected. The powder is super fine, and I think it may have been that I overcured my no wipe top coat, because I tested it on a plastic swatch nail and it was like a blacked mirror. So my fault, but it’s still pretty here, I will try again!

Born Pretty Black Chrome is a black pigment with a slight metallic look in the jar. Buffed on black polish gives a shiny gunmetal appearance. Very trendy right now!

And finally, a cat eye gel polish in #02 used with a magnet is one of my top fave gel looks. This one when magnetized shifts purple to teal with a duochrome effect. Not as strong as the #01 I tried last time, but still gorgeous. Again, I think next time I will paint it exclusively without black underneath.

Born Pretty Magnetic Cat Eye gel in #02, pretty but not as effective over black as the first one I tried. Next time I will paint on, cure then paint on again, apply magnet and cure. I think the effect will be stronger with the shift from purple to teal.

3 Beauties from the Indigo Bananas – A Delos Holiday collection

Recently I got to try three of the Winter 2016 A Delos Holiday collection by Indigo Bananas. I want to jump right in here and say the formulas are perfect! So easy to apply, base coat recommended and top coat optional, they are shiny!

NOTE: I was going to get this posed over the weekend, but Saturday morning my son and I hit by a hit and run driver, we were coming out of a stop sign intersection in a residential area, and the cross traffic was empty, except…a guy came barreling down and I didn’t see him, and he hit me at a full 30 mph! We are ok, I’m still a bit sore but nothing broken, but my car 😥 The guy that ran into me took off, so there’s that. Anyway, thank God for insurance as he is nowhere to be found, yet. So I am back on my feet, onward and forward!

Here are these gorgeous polishes! ~Winter 2016 Collection~ A Delos Holiday…A tribute to Westworld, one of many worlds for your many holidays. Open the door and see what’s behind – a million little perfect pieces. A collection of novel multichromes, holographic and with holographic flakies~Oh, and they come in two sizes, 8 and 15 ml.

Great Beasts Once Roamed This World from the Indigo Bananas Winter 2016 A Delos Holiday collection is described as, “Great Beasts Once Roamed This World” is a vibrant color shifting multichrome nail polish, with a linear holographic effect as well as holographic flakies. A million little sparkly pieces, a million different colors.” And, Base color: orange-red/orange/gold
Finish: strong multichrome, linear holographic, holographic flakies
Roughness: smooth
# coats: two” She’s hot and she’s gorgeous! Two thin coats here with topcoat. Note: she will stain over acrylic or soak off gel base, so I recommend a base coat protector for that, is not supposed to stain natural nail.

Master of Your Reality from the Winter 2016 A Delos Holiday by Indigo Bananas (currently unavailable, contact them to find out), is a multichrome holographic color shifting 2-coater, smooth as butter! It shifts from deep purple/deep blue/medium teal with gorgeous silver holo flakies!

Two thin smooth coats of “These Violet Delights Have Violet Ends” by Indigo Bananas from the Winter 2016 A Delos Holiday, is described as, “a vibrant, very strongly color shifting multichrome nail polish, with a linear holographic effect as well as holographic flakies. A million little sparkly pieces, a million different colors.” And “Multiple thinner coats tend to give stronger and deeper holographic effects compared to a single thicker coat.
Base color: dark fuchsia/violet, shifts gold
Finish: strong multichrome, linear holographic, holographic flakies
Roughness: smooth”.

Some new Born Pretty nail pretties you’ll love

It’s been awhile since I posted for Born Pretty store so today I have three pretty items to share with you. Next week I’ll be sharing a gorgeous stamping plate that also arrived with these.

• Today I have a super cute Flower Fairy gel in color #6

Born Pretty Flower Fairy gel in color #6, looks like miniature lavender petals on my nail tips. Can be used over a base color, but I love the look of negative space and nude with this! Cure as you would all gel polishes.

Born Pretty Flower Fairy gel in color #6, a pretty lavender flower within a clear gel base. Cure as you would under lamp, then top with gel top coat and cure. I found it easiest to smooth over nail tip, then dab extra flowers with a tiny nail dotting tool. Or you could use a toothpick.

Born Pretty Flower Fairy gel in color #6. Also comes in 5 other shades. I love this little container!

• A mermaidy glitter/pigment Starry Sky in color #2345.

Born Pretty Starry Sky glitter #2345 rubbed over black gel polish that has been cured. Very easy to rub in but unlike some of the finer pigments, also leaves a few chunkier flakes but remain smooth. The duochrome chameleon effect is stunning. Here I added a gel matted topcoat over the accent nail, cured, then drops of clear gloss gel topcoat and cured for a water droplet effect.

Born Pretty Starry Sky glitters come in 12 shades, this one is very mermaidy, #2345. This glitter is not the super fine powder as often found in powder pigments but can be used the same way. Can also be used to mix into a color or clear polish.

• And a gorgeous chameleon Teal/Purple color shifting Holo polish in #33.

Here is Born Pretty Holo Polish #33 over a blue base. A pretty shifty and glossy chameleon polish.

A pretty travel size Chameleon Holo Polish in shade #33 by Born Pretty, comes in this 6 ml size bottle. It looks best over a dark or black color polish. Micro glitters in green blend with a teal to purple shifting base. Can be worn in 3 coats over a bare nail, or only 1 coat over black.

And a fabulous stamping plate, full size with very detailed designs. BP L052.

The Born Pretty stamper BP 052 is a full size rectangle plate with 14 designs and countless options for your stamping pleasure. Here I chose just a few options.

A great stamping plate BP L052, nice size, heavy and intricate, so many options.

Cotton Candy King top coat by Glitter Lambs is royally gorgeous!

It’s been awhile since I posted on the beautiful Glitter Lambs Polish top coat glitters. A new one is here and “Cotton Candy King” is gorgeous! I painted it over a new Zoya creme, Gina, from the Naturel 3 collection. I love pink and brown together!

Cotton Candy King is described as, “Glitter Lambs “Cotton Candy King” Nail Polish is a gold holographic and matte pink glitter topper lightly sprinkled with a few pastel matte colored hex glitters in yellow and blue…If you don’t know who the Cotton Candy King is then you can go read about who he is at this link:

CND Creative Play™ blacks and blues

If you read my recent post review on the new CND Creative Play™ line of 80 shades and formulas, you know by now the diverse selection available. In the next week or two I’ll be sharing more colors from this innovative collection. Please read first post from the other day! For now, enjoy with me a gorgeous black with holo, and a couple gorgeous blues!

CND Creative Play™ Turquoise Tidings is a 3-coat on its own, or 1 coat over another color glitter fill jelly. By itself, it’s a mermaidy combo of holo and iridescent glitters, and it’s gorgeous over a dark shade, like you see here over Navy Brat CND Creative Play.

Here is two coats of CND Creative Play™ Nocturne It Up. In a very blackened jelly base, it’s loaded, yet smooth, with holographic glitters in various sizes.

Navy Brat, a CND Creative Play™ creme in deep Navy blue. Here it is in two coats and great formula. Amazingly smooth!

My 2nd installment of CND Creative Play™ polishes are black and blues! From left, Navy Brat, a 2-coat navy blue creme; Nocturne It Up, a black jelly holographic glitter 2-coat glossy polish. And Turquoise It Up, an ocean blue jelly filled with iridescent holographic glitter top coat, or you can accomplish full coverage in three coats on its own.

CONCLUSION: Love all of these. The creme is butter smooth and the jelly/glitter combos are pretty darn opaque and smooth in only 2-3 coats.

Deborah Lippmann Family Jewels gift set gets the royal treatment

Ahh, when it comes to the royal treatment, Deborah Lippmann brings everything to the table. From shy to bold, the Family Jewels Limited Edition gift set of three Gel Lab Pro shades is stunning.

Deborah Lippmann trio gift set, Family Jewels Gel Lab Pro (not soak-off gel polish), includes, from left: Chalice in the Palace, Single Ladies and Crowning Moment. $24 msrp The set is described as “Your nails will feel like gemstones when you adorn yourself with Single Ladies, a rich sanguine red, Chalice In The Palace, a lustrous rose gold or Crowning Moment, an opulent, multi-faceted gold shimmer. 3 bottles at 8mL each.”

Announcing the Family Jewels for Fall, 2016.

From the Deborah Lippmann Family Jewels gift set, here is Single Ladies, a rich sanguine red. Juicy and glossy!

Crowning Moment from the 3-piece gift set by Deborah Lippmann, Family Jewels. A 2 coater opulent, multifaceted gold shimmer.

Here is Chalice in the Palace from the new Deborah Lippmann Family Jewels Gel Lab Pro Colors gift set. It’s a 2 coat lustrous Rose Gold. Accent nail is its gift mate, Crowning Moment.

CONCLUSION: All three formulas are royally perfect. My favorite is Single Ladies, because well, I’m a sucker for rich red cremes. Formula is a bit thin but manageable. For a truly gilded nail, Crowning Moment is supreme. I am not normally drawn to pearly polishes, but I do love me some fancy rose gold, offered up by Chalice in the Palace. The set is priced at $24 and is available now!

7 Free Formula. Contains no toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor or DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate). No animal testing.

And it’s a wrap! My last 5 ILNP swatches for the Fall 2016 Collection

Here are the last five of the ILNP Fall 2016 and Fall Neutrals! What a glorious lineup this has been. I always love ILNP Fall shades. I will get right to it since the Pre-Order starts tomorrow on the 16th of Sept., and there is no time to waste! Special discount when you pre-order.

Chocolate Slate from the Fall 2016 collection by ILNP is described as, “Chocolate Slate is a deliciously rich dark chocolate brown shade with subtle hints of auburn. Delicately accented with a precise trifecta of gold, yellow gold, and copper flakes, Chocolate Slate is a premium truffle with undeniable character. To top it all off, Chocolate Slate has been dusted with a premium holographic twinkle for a heavenly finish that is sure to delight your palate!” I used 2 coats. I don’t know if it was the way the sun was peeking in and out of the clouds when I snapped this picture but my images kept coming out looking more berry like. There is a slightly more chocolately tint to this IRL~

The Harpist is described as, “The Harpist is a stunningly warm and vibrant holographic Ultra Metallic with orange and copper hues reminiscent of a beautiful autumn sunset. Loaded with an array of silver flakes and kissed with a touch of holographic magic for just the right amount of sparkle, The Harpist is pure elegance! The Harpist is part of ILNP’s Ultra Metallics™ class of incredibly vivid metallic finish nail polishes; specifically formulated with various ultra-thin metallic flakes for a blinding sparkle with an undeniably rich finish and super-easy removal!” Perfectly opaque for me in 2 coats, but you might need 3.

Extra Credit from the ILNP Fall 2016 collection is right up my alley! It is described as, “Extra Credit is a lusciously dark teal Ultra Holo™ with an incredibly rich and saturated finish. Loaded with an assortment of premium holographic goodness in a variety of sizes, Extra Credit is a wondrously amazing sight to see in the sun! An absolutely refreshing eye catcher and stunningly perfect for the season! Extra Credit is part of ILNP’s Ultra Holo™ class of super intense holographic nail polishes; specifically formulated for maximum, in-your-face holographic sparkle!” Here it is in 2 coats.

La Catedral from the ILNP Fall Neutrals collection 2016 is described as, “La Catedral is a stunning soft charcoal grey polish with a luxurious finish. Laced with an assortment of holographic pigments, La Catedral is nothing short of spectacular in the sun! Gorgeous both indoors and outdoors, La Catedral is the perfect neutral grey that will effortlessly compliment just about anything you’re wearing!” I LOVE these dark industrial holo shades! This is 2 coats.

From the ILNP Fall Neutrals collection for 2016, Elle is described as, “Elle is a beautifully sheer soft almond nude holographic that has the potential to look gorgeous against just about any skin-tone! Elle has been accented with a delicate balance of holographic goodness that will sparkle beautifully in the sun and add some subtle character indoors.” Here she is in 3 coats.
