Groovy Purple & Green Nail Art Featuring a Born Pretty Store Iridescent Rhinestone Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have some groovy nails and a review of some Born Pretty Store rhinestone-like studs to share!

I'm currently on my hour-long bus ride home writing this post! Our reading break is over so I'm on my way home from my first day of school in a while. The break made me so excited for the end of the semester and my four month summer! My friend Anna (who my sister and I visited last summer in Switzerland) will be coming here for three of those months! I'm so freaking excited! Basically I'm just dreaming about being done school for a while. I know I will be tonight while I'm writing up a huge inorganic lab report! :P

Anyways, onto the nails!

I used a whole lotta polish for this look; Essie DJ Play that Song (purple base, two coats), Deborah Lippmann Shoshanna (light purple), Rainbow Honey Shark Attack (blue jelly with glitter, on top of Shoshanna), OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid (green) and Black Sheep Lacquer Lorelei (clear-based glitter, on top of MDiaH). For Shoshanna and Shark Attack I just used the brushes from the bottle, but for MDiaH and Lorelei I used a small paintbrush.

I applied a coat of top coat (Essie Good to Go) and left it alone for a day. The next day, I realized I still had some nail art stuff to review from Born Pretty Store and I decided the 2mm green ones of these* would go perfectly with this look! I smeared some top coat where I wanted to put the rhinestones and just picked them up with tweezers and stuck them in. I then applied one more coat of top coat on those nails and I was done!

I think these studs are really cool looking due to their iridescent finish and they were really easy to use! I think the layer of top coat on top made it so you could only see them flash yellow or orange, but they still look really cool! They have stayed on perfectly so far, and I've been wearing them for a day doing student-like things including taking books and other things in and out of my bag! As long as you like the look of these, I see all pros and no cons!

What do you guys think of these nails or these rhinestones? I'm not so sure about the nails, I think they might be getting too long and they're a bit too glittery for my liking. I'd love to know what you guys think the comments!

My microbiology lab teacher commented on these today and said I had really pretty nails, which totally made my day! I think I do like them but they're just not really my style.

Red Nails with Rhinestones and Random Shapes!

These are just some plain red nails I kept adding to because I thought they were too boring! The shimmery darker purple is NOPI Fanatical Fuchsia, the lighter purple is Essie Play Date, the yellow is the awesomely-formulated Color Club Almost Famous, the darker blue is China Glaze Ride The Waves, the lighter blue is Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, and last but not least, the red is Sally Hansen Madame X!

On my left hand I painted the shapes with a small striper brush, and on my right hand I just used the brushes from the bottles and a dotting tool! The heart rhinestones are from a tiny set off of Amazon!

As always, thanks for reading! :)

Ellipse Rhinestones over Revlon Dreamer!

Is it just me, or do these totally remind anyone else of alligator backs? This is just two coats of Revlon Dreamer with some multicolour ellipse rhinestones I got off of eBay :).

Happy weekend everyone! I get to meet some more of my boyfriend's family this weekend and I'll be sporting these nails while doing so! As always, thanks for reading! =)

Water Marble and Heart Rhinestones on my Mom!

The nude is Sand Tropez, and the other colours I used in the water marble were: OPI's Chocolate Mousse, Orly's Mind's Eye, OPI's You Don't Know Jacques, and Essie's No More Film!

White Nails and Rainbow Rhinestones :)

I finally got my hands on My Boyfriend Scales Walls by OPI and I'm loving it! I used two coats, then added some rhinestones (because I barely ever use them) similar to the ones I linked last weekend in my post where I did a bunch of nails here! Anyways, on to the nails! :)

Did Some Nails This Weekend =)!

We had a visit with my friend and her family this weekend so I did some nails! I also did my sister's, so here comes a bunch of pictures! :)

For these I used Orly's Liquid Vinyl, E.l.f.'s Teal Blue, and some rhinestones I bought that are similar to this set!

For these ones I used Essie's No More Film, L.A. Girl Disco Brites' Disco Ball, and Julep's Matte Topcoat!

For these ones I used American Apparel's California Trooper, some glitter that came in this set, and Julep's Matte Topcoat!

And finally, for these I used China Glaze's Bahamian Escape, Julep's Blake, Essie's Play Date, and Orly's Liquid Vinyl!

Kiwi Look-Alike Mani!

This is my combination of Revlon's Blackest Black, OPI's Stranger Tides, and rhinestones from Ebay :).
