Born Pretty Store Review - Lace Foil

Today's Born Pretty Store review is of one of their new nail foils. The pattern I have today is A13.

Twinsie Tuesday - Bubbles

I started out with a neutral gradient for this mani: From cuticle to tip - Zoya Portia, Avery, and Flynn.

I then used the same bubble technique as for my jelly fish nails: Water down white acrylic paint, make blobs on the nail with it, and soak up the excess liquid with a cotton bud.

I tried for a wet bubble look this time, matting the background and dotting shiny topcoat over just my bubbles, but I think it looks a little odd. Otherwise, somewhat decent. :)

Sally Hansen Palm Beach Jellies - "How To" Part 3/3: Colored Decals

My final post for this little series is again layering these sheer jelly polishes over something else.

Here are installments one and two if you missed them.

I was wearing a set of Sally Hansen nail strips for a couple of days. After staring at the black and white design, I started to wonder how they would look with the jellies on top of them. So began my experiment.

Sally Hansen Palm Beach Jellies - "How To" Part 2/3: Watercolor

Yesterday I premiered a mini series in which I am showing different ways to use the Sally Hansen Palm Beach Jellies (or OPI Sheer Tints if you have those instead).

Today, I have a second look using them. This is probably the most popular way: a watercolor mani.

Sally Hansen Palm Beach Jellies - "How To" Part 1/3: Colored Holos

When I first picked up the Sally Hansen Palm Beach Jellies, I took so long to actually use them, because I wanted to come up with some different things to do with them.

For starters, I'll go through the polishes. From left to right, they are:

Berry pink - Jell-ous?
Coral pink - Water Melon
Peach orange - Vitamin D-light
Green - Sea Through
Blue - Ice Tint
Purple - Grape Jelly

These are not typical jelly polishes. They are more like the Sheer Tints from OPI, which I don't have to compare, but from what I have heard they are thinner and easier to work with than the Sheer Tints, but have about the same opacity.


I was curious as to how these would look over a holo polish since they are so sheer. So that is what I did for my first mani showing how these polishes can be used.
