as promised, today i am going to share with you a review about the items from my awesome package. Jessica over at Born Pretty Store was ever-so generous and sent my a beautiful package to review.

starting with the nail polishes..
NL B26, NL B32, & NL B33.
NL B26, two coats shown. the site describes this polish as "brown" but its not.. its a pretty, dusty-mauve-ish color with tinyyy gold flecks.
NL B32, three coats. the site calls this color "gray" but thats not very accurate either. this one is tons of gold glitter with lots of red and turquoise-y glitters.
NL B33, three coats. beautiful, dark turquoise with silver flecks.
the bottles and brushes are pretty small; my hands look huuuge in the pictures above. haha. the bottle contains 8ml of polish; although the brush is short, it was easy to work with; application was great for all the polishes. there was one thing that i didnt like about the polish - the smell. the polish smells like a nail salon; so it literally smelt like nail polish and lots of acrylic. i had to paint my nails outside because i didnt want the house to smell like acrylic [my parents wouldve killled me!]
Born Pretty Store nail polishes run at $3.19 a bottle and they have over 45 different colors.

onto the image plates & the acrylic molds...
i used image plate m39 in my not-so-Halloween mani-
let me start out by saying that the acrylic molds are my favorite! they're so easy to use and they are so cute! in my mani, i did 3d acrylic kitties. i didnt have black acrylic powder so i made my kitties with white acrylic powder and then i just painted them black.
i've also used my bow mold and its the cutest thing everrr! i love it! the molds are sold at only $2.26! what a deal! BPS sells a bow mold, a kitty mold, and a stars + moon mold. there are different sizes of each shape on the mold.
the image plates are so cute! but applying isnt the easiest. when using Konad, you apply the polish, scrap off the excess, and then roll your stamper across the image, and roll the image onto your nail - right? well, BPS image plates dont exactly work like that. i tried those steps when i first used the image plates and most of the image wasnt picked up. but i learned the trick: instead of rolling across the image to pick it up, you have to PUSH DOWN on the image. every other step is the same though.
i used my white Konad stamping polish for the mani above. besides for that one issue about picking up with image, everything worked great! image plates run at different prices over at BPS, between $3.49-$22.32 ... depending if you buy one plate or if you buy the package.

i still havent tried out my pack of nail art candy decoration, glitters, or pack of dried flowers yet, but im sure i'll love them as well :)
