Today I have a review on some Born Pretty Store polishes that I ordered a few weeks back. Being new to the blogging scene I hadn't heard of Born Pretty Store before so was pretty excited when I discovered it. I ordered 4 different polishes to try and one of their $0.99 lucky bags.
My order came to just £11.88 and that including paying £1.77 for postage with tracking.
The first polish I tried was the 'Colourful Feather Glitter Nail Polish' which I bought in #1.
This is a lovely feather polish and has tiny bits of blue and green hex glitter in it. It applies really nicely although it is very thick and takes ages to dry. I applied it over a lovely shiny green polish which is a Fearne Cotton one called Clover. This polish cost £2.38 and is available in 8 different colours. It is a nice polish but no better than any other feather one I've tried, but for that price it's a bargain.
At the same time I tried 'BK Snow Glitter Polish' on my accent nail. I bought this in #15.
I used this over another Fearne polish which is a very sparkly silver called Devilish Diamonds. I absolutely love this glitter! It's really stunning and comes in a nice round bottle which makes a bit of a change. This is packed full of hex glitters in blue, white, copper and pink, and white bars and tiny hexes. It's quite hard to get the glitter to spread out evenly so I sponged it on in layers using a make up sponge. This way I managed to get all of the glitter without it being gloopy on my nail. This cost £2.50 for 15ml.
Next I tried out 'Special Texture Liquid-Sand Suede Glitter Nail Polish' in #15.
This is by far my favourite of the polishes that I ordered. It's a dream to apply. This is 2 coats with no top coat. It dries really quickly and gives a lovely sparkly textured finish. Its has a nice flat brush so application is very simple and it needs minimal clean up. This also comes in some other gorgeous colours and is £2.67.
The final polish I tried is 'Candy Colour Glitter Sparkle Yoghurt Nail Polish' in colour 004.
I'm not overly keen on this polish. I think it's the mixture of colours rather than anything else. It applies quite well considering that it's really glitter heavy. The picture above is 3 thin coats with a top coat. It gives quite a jelly finish and does layer up nicely. I was a bit worried about removing it because of all of the glitter, but it actually came off quite well. I think I would much prefer this polish in a different colour combination. This is priced at £2.60.
I ordered myself a $0.99 lucky bag which worked out at 59p so thought that it was worth a shot.
I got some chevron nail foils, some Hello Kitty nail stickers, 3 silver bow nail charms and some Chanel style fake nails. There isn't really anything here that I would use, apart from perhaps the little bow stickers in with the Hello Kitty set. But definitely worth a shot for 59p and I'll be ordering a couple more just for the added fun factor really.
I really loved my first experience of ordering from Born Pretty Store, everything is great value and my order only took about 10 days to come. You can find the link to the website here.
