I received a set of 12 pots of hexagon glitters from Born Pretty Store as a part of my newest review parcel, and I was delighted to see them in there! These glitters are so easy to use and the large size makes them easy to apply and position. I’ve been playing around with them a bit, but I hope to do a lot more designs using them and will post those as soon as they’re done.  Glitters always add that extra something to nail art designs, and these glitters from BPS is no exception.

I’ve received another package from Born Pretty Store this week and it included a bottle of nail polish from the Sweet Color range. The color is number 223, a gorgeous and intense red. The consistency of the polish is really interesting because it’s neither a creme nor a jelly. It’s a hybrid it seems and the finish is absolutely stunning. I only needed two coats to get decent coverage as well and that to me is a real bonus, especially with jellies and jelly hybrids!   The wear I got out of this polish is standard, it didn’t start chipping…

I bought two Essence Nail Art Stampy image plates as part of a largish haul the other day and decided to write a review to share my thoughts. Before you spend your hard earned cash, read this to ensure you know what to expect.  When I first read up about these image plates, I’d already purchased two, silly girl, I know!  I found that most of the reviews online complained of shallow images and of partial prints and images.  I thought to myself that it’s probably a combination of inexperience and improper technique that caused all that, so I unwrapped…

I recently purchased three polishes from the Essence nail art range, and I got the white, black and silver ones.  I was super excited to try these polishes (especially since I’ve not been able to find stamping polishes locally until then.) I took it home and eagerly started experimenting. Before you rush over to your local beauty store, read on to find out what I experienced. What can I say?……..I love Essence products, I really do, but I think I have hate/hate relationship with their stampy polishes. It pains me to say this it really does, but all three of…

When I walked into Dischem recently I nearly went crazy seeing how many products they stock from the Essence nail art range. The Essence Express Dry Spray was one of my purchases that day and I’ve decided to share my thoughts on the product. Is it worth the time and money? Read on to find out: I’ve used the spray twice now and in short: It rocks! It’s one of the best quick dry sprays I’ve tried, and it’s a really great product for the price. I believe I paid around R35 for it which is roughly $4.30, and it…
