Born Pretty Store Charm & B Squared Lacquer Purple Unicorns Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have a quick review of B Squared Lacquer Purple Unicorns and a review of a butterfly charm (link here, number 781) from Born Pretty Store to share!

I've decided to take a OPI Nail Envy break and not paint my nails for a week (or as long as I can handle)! Not to fear though, I am behind enough in posting that I have about a week's worth of posts to get up! I picked up the Nail Envy for sensitive and peeling nails today because my nails have been peeling on the sides (like hang nails) on the ends and on the nail plate due to wearing glitter polishes. I do use the foil method to remove glitters but they still get all peely and damaged :(. Like, who ever heard of peels in the middle of your nails? Ugh, my nails are so sad right now, they're even a little stained by this Sally Hansen blue that I'll be posting about soon.

Despite all of that I really want to be painting my nails! I've been super inspired by this salon's Instagram page called spica_nail (here is the link). You guys should seriously check them out! I've liked all of their pictures they've posted in the last few years because they're seriously all perfect. :D Anyways, onto the nails!

B Squared Lacquer Purple Unicorns

To start, I applied three easy coats of B Squared Lacquer Purple Unicorns, a gorgeous purple polish with a subtle but almost linear holographic effect and green-blue flakies. This means this polish is beautiful and interesting in any lighting! The formula was lovely just like the other polish from B Squared Lacquer I recently tried (All Aboard, link here)! As per usual, I finished it off with a coat of the top coat I still always use, Essie Good to Go!

Now onto the charm! The package actually comes with two charms so you can put one on each hand. I think these charms are super cute and I love that they come in mint! They also stay looking brand new as long as you clean them off and remove them using non-acetone remover (like with any charms)!

I wasn't really sure how I'd top coat these charms if I were to wear them. I think I'd just have to top coat around them because as you can see from the picture below, they are quite tall and stick up quite a bit! That is my only complaint about these charms; I don't know how practical they are to wear and I don't know that they'd stay on that well just because they're so big.

I think they'd be super fun to use while swatching for a little extra interest! What do you guys think of these charms and/or this polish? I'd love to know!

  1. gorgeous colors and such a cool look, but I think it would drive me insane to have a charm on my nail! I also feel like it wouldn't last too long...since most of my nail designs don't last all too long!

  2. My thoughts exactly!! I even had a tiny and flat Hex Nail Jewelry charm fall off on me so I really don't think these would stay :(. They are super cute though!!
