Upbeat Nails | Nail Art Blog: nail sticker

Hello Everyone!!!

Today I am gonna show you some nail vinyls from Born Pretty Store. You can see my previous review here here here and here. I hope you are familiar with Nail Vinyls if not, they are stencils or guides that come in various shapes and sizes. Remember the time when we all try tape manis where cutting pieces of tape into various style to create different pattern? Well that’s extremely time consuming and tedious. But with these Vinyls all you need to do is peel them off the backing, place them firmly into place, paint over and remove. No cutting the tapes into different shapes because they’re already done for you.

These Vinyls came in plastic wrap with 12 sheets. Each sheets contains various pattern in two sizes- big and small. It contains geometry shapes such as circle, square, triangle, and other design like stars, blood drips, stripes, ziz zag, grass and some patterns that are perfect to create tribal manicures.

These vinyls are of good quality.Also they are sticky enough to stick, but if you don’t get the placement right the first time, you can just remove it and place again.

Below are the manicures that I created using these vinyls

I have tried nail vinyls before but I didn't had satisfying result back then. But this time I am in love with the final outcome.

Few things to keep in mind while using these vinyls are make sure that your base is completely dry before placing vinyls on your nails. Once you have apply the vinyls in desire place you can sponge the polish over it rather than applying polish from brush. This is the best way that work for me.

My thoughts- I think Vinyls are very innovative products. They are perfectly shaped, easy to use and less time consuming. Although vinyls are non reusable but they are totally worth trying.

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.
