Born Pretty Store Review Rose Nail Charms with Loreal Masked Affair

Hi Everyone!

After seeing all the hub-bub about Loreal Masked Affair and it being sold out everywhere, I was like well, I’m not getting it lol I thought it was pretty but I have similar colors. Then on Friday I walked into Rite-aid to get some shampoo and walked down an aisle and there was the display with 1 Masked Affair! So, I guess it was fate and I grabbed it just to have haha! I thought it was perfect to use for my review of some
rose nail charmsthat Born Pretty Store sent to me. Check out what I came up with.



The
Silver Rose Charms item #16684are so cute! They’re a good size for medium to small size nails since they aren’t huge like a lot of other charms I have. They also don’t have a very high profile so they are less likely to snag in your hair or on your clothing. They attached very easily just with topcoat.



So what do you think of Loreal Masked Affair? In the bottle it has an interesting bluish glow to it which does translate onto the nail a little. In person it does have a nice holo effect, not the strongest I’ve seen but for a mainstream brand I think it is excellent! I tend to prefer a subtler holo so I do like this one. I also recently bought Orly Mirrorball, that I used
HEREand I do prefer Mirrorball because it is slightly darker. But I will definitely get a lot of use out of Masked Affair.



The uber pale pink (yes it is pink and not white lol) is China Glaze Friends Forever, Right? I added some thinner to mine and with 3 thin coats it was opaque. I love colors like this so I don’t mind that I have to use 3 coats.



Along with the
Silver Rose Charms item #16684I added some AB jewel studs that I got from ebay.



I’m really digging the silver Rose Nail Charms and I need to see if they have them in gold! They’re the perfect size and I will get a lot of use from them. Have you picked up Loreal Masked Affair? Do you plan on it?

(Some of these products were sent to me for review)

Love Angeline A Symphony of Blackened Diamonds and China Glaze Five Rules leopard nail art

Hey Everyone!

Sometimes you just feel like leopard, amiright or amiright?! It can't be just me lol And specifically I felt like snow leopard, onto the mani!



First, don't mind the smearing on the thumb lol I added top coat to it too quickly whoops.



This gorgeous full coverage micro-glitter is A Symphony of Blackened Diamonds from Love Angeline. Gahhhhh I love this polish! Since it's so dense you do have to apply carefully but it's not annoying or anything but going slow helps.



For the base of the leopard nails I used Five Rules from the China Glaze The Giver collection and it is perfect! I've heard it compared to OPIS Skulls and Glossbones and I'd say that's pretty accurate.



Using the glitter as the center of the leopard spot was such a good idea me! Oh thank you! You're welcome!





Here's a little nail art humor lol I used a peel off base coat for easy removal of this mani but it worked a little too good this time and my nails were popping off in my hair lol

Different Dimension - No One Elsa But You

Snow snow go away and DON'T come back another day!!! Arrggghhhhhh snow I hate thee! Why does snow suddenly turn me into a pirate? Come me Matey's and let us feast our eyes upon some booty!



This gorgeous icy blue holo is No One Elsa But You from DIFFERENT Dimension. Obviously named after Elsa from Frozen. I've never seen Frozen nor do I care lol BUT I still needed this polish! Great formula and perfect for eternal blizzard I seem to be stuck in.





The pastel blue creme is New Birth from China Glaze. I read this one was a little patchy and thick so I added some thinner and it turned out nice. I used 3 thin coats here.





The blingy charm is from ebay.



Despite the icy snow outside I thoroughly enjoyed this mani! Thanks for stopping in to warm up ;)
