Review: Born Pretty Store - Colourful 2mm Rhinestones (2000 pcs)*

This product is from Born Pretty Store, it is a baggie containing 2000, 2mm multi coloured rhinestones.

I found these quite versatile as I don't have a stash of only orange rhinestones and so these were good for selecting only the orange ones;

They were nice for using singularly as well;

I think for $2.39 for 2000 rhinestones is a bargain, I just made sure to decant them in to the resealable bag that comes with the pack as the main sachet wasn't resealable.

I've a 10% discount code if you would like to use it then it is 'HS7J61'

Review: Born Pretty Store - Dual Ended Nail Picker Wax Pen*

This is a duel ended tool, the colour is purple to white gradient, it also comes in three other different colour ways.

It is 126mm in length, so around average pen length.

One end of the tool is a wax nib which is perfect for picking up little nail gems and other small otherwise tricky accessories.

I usually use a set of tweezers to apply rhinestones, however sometimes the gems ping off when I squeeze the tweezers too hard. Also I have been known to smudge the polish with the tweezers.

Picking up a rhinestone with the wax end is so easy, they almost stick to the tip but not too much that they don't transfer from the tool to the nail easily.

The other end of the tool is designed to pick up a small bead of blue tack and then using that you can pick up small nail art accessories.

Overall this is a really useful nail tool, makes placement so much accurate. Also seems to have made me wear studded items more often!

 

I have used this tool to pick up rhinestones and small nail accessories in these nails;

Review: LadyQueen - Rhinestones Flower Square Pentagram Bow Drop Circle*

This wheel is from LadyQueen and contains six different silver with a opalescent finish studs. Standard circles, stars, tear drops, squares, flowers and bows. They are small, measuring around 2mm each.

Some nail accessories are overly 3D which makes wearing tricky. These studs aren't huge and don't stick out too much and so are easy to wear.

To use these I just stick them to my nails while my top coat is still wet, you could use nail glue for a more secure fix. You can use top coat over the top of the studs to seal them in to the nail which will help them to last longer if you like.

Below are some nail designs I have done using the studs, 

Simple Tear Drop;

Denim Star Studded Nails;

Marble Flower Studded Nails;

Also LadyQueen sent a pack of three adjustable rings, they are more of a C shape ring than a traditional adjustable ring so they don't pinch. As they are adjustable you can wear them as mid rings or as normal rings.

Nail Art Decorations - $4.75
Pack of 3 Rings - $5

This item was sent for reviewing purposes, that doesn't mean my opinion was influenced by this. Lady Queen were kind enough to offer my readers a 15% off code from their site, if you would like to use this it is ETLC15

Review: BornPrettyStore - Black Iridescent Rhinestone Wheel*

These are listed on the Born Pretty Store as "230Pcs/Box Newly Round Rhinestone Flat Back Acrylic UV Gel Nail Art Decoration Hot Selling Wheel". The wheel contains four different sized black iridescent rhinestones. The rhinestones are separated by size, 4mm, 3.5mm and 2mm.

 

The rhinestones themselves are black but they have a iridescent coating which makes them have an oil on water look to them, which is quite different. I haven't seen any like this before, usually rhinestones come in plain different colours.

I found using these studs even over a black base looked great.

For these nails I used a couple of different sized rhinestones over a black base;

Nails Inc - New York Noir

These nails were done using three of the medium size rhinestones and two larger ones as a little bit of an accent;

Nails Inc - New York Noir

I wanted to try them over a lighter colour base, as a dotticure accent nail;

Barry M - Matt White

The different size rhinestones mean you can create different looks.
