Born Pretty Store Holo Polish Blue Love

Hello! September is almost coming to an end. The year is just flying by. really!

Today I have a cute little polish from Born Pretty Store to show you.

BPS has really come out with very awesome range of holo polishes. 

On review here today is a blue holo polish called Blue Love (BP RR-07 #42846; link) from their Rose road series in Deluxe holographic range of polish.

I loved how holo the polish is, its not a very linear holo nor is it too scattered. The blue shade is also very flattering on my skin tone. The polish in this range come in 10 cute shades and I had a hard time picking one. Bottle size is 6 ml for $7. I find it's a bit pricey for this size but the quality is good. One thick coat is sufficiently opaque. But I've used 2 coats in my pics above out of habit. The polish dried fairly quickly in 5 mins. Overall I quite like this polish and considering that I don't get any real holo polish locally I am very pleased that BPS has got good holo polishes now. My packaged reached me in 15 days after shipping.


Polish sent for review. It is my honest, unbiased opinion.

Beauty Big Bang Holographic Nails

By now you can tell I am obsessed with chrome and holo powders/pigments 😍

I just cant seem to get enough of them. By the time I think I've got most of the stuff in holo/chrome there comes a whole surge of new products in the market. Just fyi the next on my list is those duochrome flakies without holo. and those shiny new coloured mirror pigments. ooh and I am yet to try those coloured holo pigments and also those peacock holo pigments 😄

somebody stop me!!

Base: Bk water based peel off polish in navy blue

Pigment: Beauty Big Bang Rainbow Holo pigment (sku J2427; link)

Greek Vinyls from Angel Nail Vinyls

Topped with Top pure water based tc from Sparkle & Co

I got this pigment from BeautyBigBang (sku 2427) and I have fallen head over heels in love with holo pigments again. Never was I so happy to see the bright hot sun here in mumbai as I was today.

This pigment is really a very smooth and non-gritty. You just need to rub it on the nails with a silicon applicator or finger tips with light pressure for a couple of times and you will get that super shining smooth holo rainbow. This can be used on gel polish with a no-wipe top coat as well.

The pigment sells for $3.99 for 0.5gm and BeautyBigBang ships even one item free worldwide.

Have a look at the video to see the beauty in action.

Holo on holo

Seriously couldnt stop staring at this one! 

Holo base +holo stamping= gorgeous!

Base: Cupcake Polish Water you doing

Stamping polish: Color Club Eternal beauty

Stamping plate: Harunouta L010 #30341 (link)

Loved this plate from harounouta; its a sister brand of Born Pretty. This plate is very versatile has lots of designs and very useable with any combination of polish. I loved all the checked design here! it easily shows off the base polish as well as the stamped design. The plate is well etched and I didnt have any trouble picking up the design with their clear stamper. I could also very precisely place the stamping on my nails to make them look all uniform.

This plate retails for around $2.6 and they usually have lots of promotions going on so you can always keep a look out.

Hope you like the mani!

Pattern stamping : Glam Polish Ecstasy swatch

One of my first ultra holos.. 

Procured with heart felt pain as these got levied with customs duties and One polish got stolen (booohoooo!!) :'( 

Base: Glam Polish Ecstasy

Stamping Plate: Uber Chic 5-03

Stamping polish: M polish Snowberry

Glam Polish: Ecstasy : Its a real pretty thing, goes crazy with linear holo under light.

A medium dark purple, goes opaque in a thick coat but I prefer 2 thin ones.

Dries in a matter of mins. I suspect it would stamp well on lighter shades too. 

Pic taken under white bulb to show the holo its not so pink irl leans more to purple

Zig Zag Glitter: Krizia Bed Rock Swatch

Lets all ogle the pics first!

Base: Krizia Bed Rock

Using Zig Zag Nail Vinyls I applied

Krizia Tinkerbell and Barbie

All topped with SV

Here's a swatch of Bed Rock on its own

A pretty dark brown holo glitter in tinted base. Priced at Rs300/- it applies opaque in 2 coats and lasts for ages. You will need a top coat to smoothen it out coz once dry it feels gritty. And adding a top coat gets back the holo sparkle.

You can contact Krizia on their FB page or through IG (@kriziaenterprise)

Swatch Krizia Purple Haze : Simple Nail using vinyls

Another Krizia beauty from their new range of holo glitters

Krizia Purple Haze is a purple leaning to blue with micro glitters in a tinted base.

2 coats to opaque but this needed more time to dry. I suspect the hot humid weather here is causing this. Slightly patchy but the second coat almost smoothes things over.

Base: Krizia Purple Haze

Deep V using straight nail vinyls and sponging Jordana LA City nights

All topped with HKgirl

Dazzling Nail Art

I finally managed to get my hands on those awesome B.Loves plates. And I was eager to do some holo nails with the gorgeous mind blown plate. 

My nails were literally dancing in sunlight. The idea was inspired by my Friend (Mithi of nailpolishplay.com) 

Base: Dance Legend T-1000

Stamping plate: B.Loves mind blown

Stamping polish: Konad black

A break and some news!!

Hiiieee,

Sometimes a break does you good. Sometimes a break makes you realise how much do you actually miss something! And sometimes it can make you realise that some things might not be as important as you thought. And something needs priority over others.

Yeah... what can I say. My blog and nail art is important to me and I missed it like crazy!

So why the break u ask? Well ... The news is I am a mommy!!!!!! 

My cute little bundle was born on 13th of June and is almost a month old now. And he has cutesy lil nails himself. 😊

During pregnancy the smell of polish made me mad and drove me nauseous. I tried to paint my nails a few times but my mind was just not into it. Saddened me quite a bit I tell ya! 

I tried again today and I didn't gag!!!! However let me warn you I have nubbins like nubbins I've never had before. Ahh the price we pay for love! But I m happy that I have polish on my nails after 6-7 months and I cudnt care anymore abt my cuticles or the shape or size of my nails. (For now that is).

On my nails today is BK holo no.5. A dark red holo with strong holo effect. 

On its own it looked more like fuchsia on me. I have applied 2 thin coats. But maybe next time I'll use a red base.

Next pic is in natural light. But on a really dull rainy day so the holo isn't flashing

Though the baby does seem to take considerable time and attention I shall be posting as and when possible. 

Yay! M a mommy! I know it's tiring and all that but frankly being a mummy isn't as stressful and scary as I imagined it would be. Also I am staying with my mom a couple of months to help me out with the baby so I am really grateful for everything she does. Moms r d best!! ❤❤❤

A hearty thanks to you all for still sticking with my blog. A lot of readers were concerned and messaged me directly to ask about my whereabouts. Thank you!

Also I did read that GFC is out so please follow me on bloglovin.

See ya soon!
