Nails Nails Nails:

Like many other bloggers I was recently offered the chance to try out some products from Born Pretty Store and since I am very much so back into nails right now after growing out the damage from acrylics, I kindly accepted to do so :)

Here is the design I was wearing a few days ago, created using two items sent from the company: Pink, bright and kind of tacky leopard print ♥

I thought I would try out the pack of nail art brushes since I had been looking into purchasing some anyway. The pack contains 15 different brushes with varying bristles. You get dotting tools, fan brushes, striping brushes, detail brushes, square tip brushes (my favourites for french manicure tips!) and many more. One of the angle tip brushes has become my go-to for clean up, it works amazingly well as it is quite still but still small enough to be effective.

The brushes themselves are of great quality. A nice length, with a pearly cream finish. Don't mind the one odd, wooden looking brush - I accidently dropped it in the acetone I was cleaning it with and it melted the lacquer a little. I decided to go ahead and remove it all and I still like how it looks, haha :) See the set here.

I used 2 coats of OPI Mod About You as a base, then using the bent small detail brush I drew the black part of the animal print. By using a smaller brush like this one it was much easier to control the lines, then having to rely on the striper like brush that comes with the polish. Then I used the metal dotting tool to add Essie Pink Parka to the centre of some of the shapes. It looked a little too neat for me so I went ahead and randomly dragged some of the fluro pink outwards giving a more scattered finish.

Thankyou so much to Born Pretty Store and I recommend you check the site out, as they have a plethora of products for you to browse.

I have a 10% voucher code to share with you all: EMMAK31 to expire on March 31st

I will show you more of the items in a later post :)
