Hello Everyone!!! How is your weekend so far?
I have another BPS review for you today! I decided to try their Lace Nail Sticker. When I first saw these nail sticker in Born Pretty Store site, I just had to get them. They looked so gorgeous. This Product is listed under code ID=27535  and is available for $2.50. You can  use my discount code ASXW10 to get 10%off.

This product comes in a one-roll package. They are available in 27 different pattern so there is lots of choices to choose from.  I chose JQ105. All the sticker are equally stunning  and feminine. The pattern are beautifully detailed. 
When I decided to try this Lace Sticker, it had me confused for  more than 10 min. I was really trying hard to figure out how this product can be a sticker? I checked thoroughly to see if  it is double layers to peel off the design but  it wasn't. I clearly remembered the product was nail sticker, still confused I checked the BPS website.It  named this product as Lace Nail sticker and clearly written on their instruction to "peel off" the design by your nail. They even mentioned not to touch the glue. There was nothing to peel off, no glue either. It had me confused and annoyed. 
Then I remember I have used similar product like this  before the holographic foils. I used the same technique that I did for those foils and eureka it worked.

I will write the How To's because BPS website clearly had it wrong. They should change their instruction in their website as it would be really confusing to those who are using this kind of product for first time.
First apply the base color  in your nails. Wait it dry but not totally dry. Press the sticker, onto the nail and rub over using your finger. Remove the sticker and the pattern should transfer on your nail.Apply the top coat to seal the design.
But it  is easier said than done.It’s actually a lot harder to get the right nail polish consistency for this sticker to transfer.Wait a little bit too long and the sticker won’t transfer, don’t wait long enough and the sticker pulls the polish with it. I had the misfortune of dealing with both situations and I can say from experience that they are equally annoying.
However after many frustrating attempt I finally managed to transfer the sticker which at least look presentable.

The base color is  Cairuo chocolate 33.Then I transfer the sticker on middle and accent nails and used some rectangle gold stud for rest of the nails.
Overall I didn't had good experience with this sticker. First it really annoyed me with the fact that its not Sticker as claimed rather its like a foil. If I knew beforehand I wouldn't have chose to review this product. Even after when I finally managed to use this product it didn't transfer well.
Besides the annoying part I still find this Sticker gorgeous.If you can consistently get these sticker to transfer to your nails then this could be really a elegant product. If you feel like trying your hand at these sticker, you can buy them from Born Pretty Store  and you can  use my discount code ASXW10 to get 10% off your entire order.
You can find them on all of the usual social media outlets too, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Hello Everyone!!! How are you all?!?
Today I have another Born Pretty Store product to share with you. I decided to try some of their Holographic Nail Sticker.These nail sticker are  listed under code ID:26081 and is available for  $3.87.
http://upbeatnails.blogspot.com/p/isclosure.html 
As always the product came in a plastic seal. There is no instruction on package itself but you can see it in on BPS website. Born Pretty Store has lots of similar product so there are lots of choices to choose from. I chose product 25. The product has a brilliant holographic shimmer. Its big enough to cover all of your nails.
I found this product little thicker than usual. You can use this sticker for full manicure or cut them into pieces and create your own. The option are unlimited.
What I had in mind was to create full manicure on the accent nails and randomly place small pieces in rest of the nails. But as the sticker is thicker it didn't get pressed well on the nails for full manicure. So I cut the Sticker in random triangle and other shape and started placing them on nails. Even the small pieces didn't get pressed on the curve of the nails. To keep them from peeling off I quickly applied the top cut but it ruined my design rather then saving it. My top coat couldn't sealed the sticker in place.
Beside the thickness the sticker is quite amazing. The holographic effect is lovely. I will be happy to use this product again to create more simple design.
So what do you think?Have you ever tried such holographic nail sticker before?

Hello Everyone!!!
I am back with more fun products from Born Pretty Store. Today I will be sharing some Mosaic vinyl stencils I received from BPS. These vinyls are listed under code ID:27405
As usual these vinyls arrived in the plastic seal package. The instruction to use are clearly written on the back of it. Now you can see they arent just simple vinyls, they are holographic - how cool is that. They come in a pack of nine big circle and three french tip style. So you can use it for a full manicure or just the french tip. They are  quite sticky so I suggest patting them down a little against your skin beforehand so they don't pull your manicure away with them. Also  make sure they are fully stuck before putting polish over the top so the polish don't bleed.
Now I don't really have  much experience when it comes to nail vinyls, last time I tried vinyls they turned into  a mess (here) So I wasn't sure how this one would turn out, but this time they worked totally fine for me. Yes, I finally managed to create a non mess manicure using this amazing product.
I started with a Red base coat, then stuck this stencil on, and polished golden  over it. The pattern printed  wonderfully on the nails. Now as these Vinyls are holographic I couldn't help but create a Shattered Glass kinda effect. So I stuck the remaining of the vinyls on my accent,middle and thumb.
I am in love with these holographic vinyls. They are absolute beauty. The manicure looked more vibrant in real than in images.Every time the light hit the nails the holographic effect was just brilliant.
So what do you think?Have you ever tried such holographic Vinyls before?
If you are interested in these Holographic Mosaic Vinyls you can buy this product from here for only $1.76. If you use my discount code ASXW10 you can get 10% off your entire order.

Hello Everyone!!!
Continuing with ABC Challenge, today is the day for "G". I wanted to do Graffiti nails for this theme but I have been sick for a few days now and I didn't have energy to do something that would be time consuming. So I settled with something that would be easy and less hectic, ergo Gradient. I always wanted to do subtle french gradient manicure ,given the opportunity I decided to try.
Well I am not happy with the outcome. I don't think it looks like gradient but this had to do. I don't have energy to paint again. It doesn't have smooth finish for some unknown reason  but I do like the fact how  it gives textured polish look. What do you think? Let me know on the comment below.

Hello Everyone!!!
Today is the day for ABC challenge again. The theme is F meaning we need to make anything that start with letter F. At first I had made a Fashion Nail Art  for this theme but knowing that Euro Cup is so close and being a huge fan of it, I changed the theme that is suitable for Euro instead. As you may know Euro 2016 is going to be held in France this year. So  my F is for France and Football *wink*
As usual I started from the base coat Cairuo white "Milk". And then freehanded everything with acrylic paint. I painted France flag with Eiffel Tower and football underneath. I was inspired by an image that I saw on Google.
What do you think? Let me know on the comment below.

Hello Everyone!! 
Are you a Football Fan? I am.  I don't follow all the league or every match but I have always watched Euro Cup and World Cup as long as I remember. So since Euro 2016 is just two days away I decided to make  Euro nail art. Euro is scheduled to held in France this time.  I made Euro logo (Henry Delaunay Trophy)  and France flag which is Blue White Red instead of which I used Football for white. As usual I started from the base coat Cairuo white "Milk". And then free handed everything with acrylic paint.What do you think? Let me know on the comment below.

Hello Everyone!!!
Continuing with ABC Challenge, today is the day for "E". I had lots on my mind for this theme. I wanted to do elegant nail art. But my little sister suggested me Emotions Icon. So for reference I searched Google where I just typed Emo icon and that when Google showed me these cute emo character called Pon and Zi. We both found the character too cute and I knew I had to make it. So Hence E is for Emo.
I have attached the images that I got inspired from. As usual I started from the base coat Cairuo white "Milk". And then freehanded everything with acrylic paint. I love the final outcome. I find it too adorable. What do you think? Let me know on the comment below.

Hello Everyone!!! Any plans for weekend? I am planing to watch Jungle Book today. Have you watched the movie?
Continuing my review of Born Pretty Store, today I have a very elegant water decal.A few weeks ago I got these pretty water decals from the BPS, and today I finally got to use them. This is the last review for now. You can see my previous review here and here.
The product name is called Vintage Damask Water Decals Nail Art Water Stickers which you can see in their website here.They sell them in two different colors (Black and white) and each pack is only $1.52.  I chose to review the both. 
Get 10% discount using my coupon code "ASXW10"

The product as name suggested has a Damask Pattern which I found very elegant. Beside the Damask Pattern the decals have some lines and dots. It has Transparent background. The decals came in various size, so you can use according to your need. As usual the Decals arrived in Plastic sheet and the instruction on how to use are clearly written on the back of the decals. I found this water decals very delicate. Just 3 to 5 second in water was enough for them to slide easily.
These water decals are really lovely. I like the pattern very much and they are very easy to use. All you need to do is cut out the decal that you want to use, drop it in a bowl of water for a few seconds and then gently remove it from the paper. You can apply the decals with your fingers or use tweezers. You have to be very gentle. For this water decals I advise you  to wet your nail before you apply the decals, because it will make it easier to arrange the stickers into place.
So what do you think? Isn't this water decals stunning? I would totally wear these again.
If you are interested in these Damask Water Decals You can buy this product from here for only $1.52 per sheet. If you use my discount code ASXW10 you can get 10% off your entire order.

Hello Everyone!!!
Today is the day for a new ABC Challenge and this one is D is for ? To keep with the theme of D, I decided to make a Dice.
I have used Cairuo White "Milk" as a base coat. Then hand  painted everything  with acrylic paint. May be a different background like gradient would have looked great but then again, I think white background would be perfect canvas for any freehand design.
So what do you think? Let me know on the comment below.
