Black and Neon Nail Art

*press sample*

Hey guys!

I love the combo of black and neon that I see others use. On me, I'm not so sure but I was excited to try! I was inspired by these super cute studs I got from Born Pretty Store.

I used Zoya Storm as my base. The accent nail is randomly painted with neon shades. Then I layered striping tape with Zoya Storm on top. I used nail glue to attach the studs and then topped it off with topcoat. They stayed put very well!

Do you like the neon and black combo?

China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle + Sephora by OPI Wild About Shimmer + Studs!

Hello!

I have a mani to show you today that I was so happy with the end result. It's pretty simple and easy to accomplish but is definitely not boring!

After reading a recent post from Glitter and Unicorns featuring China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle, I knew I needed to give it a chance from being trapped in my untried pile. I was drawn to the color enough to buy it despite bad reviews on the formula but I was very pleasantly surprised at how easily it applied! 

I topped off TYTH with a coat of Sephora by OPI Wild About Shimmer. I got mine in the current 3 for $10 sale at Sephora. LOVE this shimmer...it doesn't mess with the base color which is awesome. And finally, I used some nail glue to attach these adorable gold heart studs to the base of my nail. So girly and cute...right up my alley!

Attached with nail glue and topped with 2 coats of topcoat, I have only lost one stud in 3 days!

I got these cute heart studs as part of a set from Born Pretty Store...they came with a variety of shapes and sizes in silver and gold. You can find them *here*. Get an extra 10% off with my code: AMG10!

Do you love these heart studs?

Born Pretty Neon Studs Review + My 600th Post!!

*Press Sample*

Hey guys!

This is my 600th post on this blog! That's pretty crazy, right?! I hope to have many more to come. :)

I mentioned in yesterday's post I have more Born Pretty Store items to share, so here's another review this time for neon studs! I think these are pretty cute and the size is just right...not too big or too small. Very easy to pick up and work with. And you can't go wrong with neon! I love that it's so popular everywhere...I don't see myself getting tired of it anytime soon. ;)

These studs were an extremely easy way to jazz up an otherwise plan mani. I placed them in a half moon shape over a still wet coat of NYX Salon Formula in Acid Pink (almost a one coat polish!). I know they seem small and annoying to deal with but trust me, they really aren't and I finished both hands in record time.

Would you use these neon studs in your nail art?

Stud Nail Art

Hi polish lovers!

I have a funky manicure to show you this evening. I recently tried out these studs from Born Pretty Store after seeing a few similar manis on some blogs. My polish inspiration comes from this blog! She's a great one to follow if you aren't already.

So my base is Zoya Ali and my accent is China Glaze Gr8 and Orly Sashay My Way. I think the smaller size of studs that Born Pretty offers would have looked a little more natural (as natural as studs can look on nails. haha). But I was surprised at how much I liked the overall look!

The studs were very easy to apply and laid pretty flat on my nails.

I think I will be giving the smaller size a try soon! Do you like studs for nails?
