Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter!

Hi y'all! These are the last of the Born Pretty Store items for right now! And plus I tried out water marbling again! Aren't they just so neat looking? Amaaazing. I love a water marble look and since I discovered the easiest way EVER. to do one, I will be featuring them SO much more. At least given that I find polishes that work and cooperate with the water! But anyways, onto the point of this post. 

For this look I used Sinful Colors Tempest and Innocent. and the water marble decal method

The glitters are the born pretty store product I have to show you, these little 2mm loose round glitters. I got them in 8# which is a bright neon yellow, (even if they look slightly green here. Think highlighter yellow) and they were really fun to play with even if I suck horribly at glitter placement. 

These are about the same as applying any other loose glitter, so if you suck at placement like I do, these won't be your best friend. (They're def not mine, but I won't get better if I don't try right?) The color was very bright and vibrant, the color of the polish underneath didn't change it at all. And there was no bleeding with the top coat or anything like that. So these would be great if you like to play with loose glitters! 

You can get these right here, they come in a little jar, there are several colors to pick from, and they sell for around $1.78! 

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you thought in the comments below!

Water marbling made easy! SAY WHAAAT?

Do you love the look of water marbled but hate the mess and hassle of doing them? Or maybe you ALWAYS end up with globs of polish that never dries, ruining the perfect water marbled design when you dip in your finger, or you get those pesky water bubbles in the ONLY nail that actually turned out right?! 

Yeah, I've been there. All of it. And you're going to want to continue reading this post if you have too! I can't actually take full credit for the idea. I don't think many other people do it yet, but I seen a video on instagram (I can't remember who is was, sorry!) and thought it looked interesting so I just HAD to try it! And there is also this post here from Oooh Shinies. but other than those two things, I have never ever seen this technique before. And I definitely tihnk more people should know about it!! I know I for one... will be doing SO MANY more watermarbles now! I love them and hate doing them. This makes them much easier to do! Click the read more jump to see more!!
