[REVIEW] Born Pretty Nail Cuticle Oil | MariMynxx

2018-06-04T17:57:00.002-04:00

Born Pretty Store has unveiled a new line of products ranging from nail polish to polish remover repackaged with new sleek and updated looks.

They were kind enough to send me the Born Pretty Cuticle oil in Peach which will retail for $2.99 each and I LOVE IT! I usually make my own cuticle oil so I'm sort of a snob with it comes to nail oil and poopoo on everything else. Not to mention, have you see the prices of some nail oils? Holy shit I won't go there.

The oil I received was in Peach and while it isn't my favorite flavor/scent, I really enjoy this oil. I also really enjoy the packaging, it's just so lavish and pretty... I love chrome! Like usual, Ivebeen applying this oil to my nails at least twice a day and I have to say this formula is very hydrating and smells wonderful1

The line of five oils, as well as the rest of the products, will be on sale on 6.6.18

So for this bundle, I got a beautufil mirror powder that I can't wait to try. I'm still pretty noobie with working with powders but I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone because they are so gorgeous. And no brown nosing here but Born Pretty Store seems to have the best quality powders for such a great price.

I'm all about that blue life though, Dazzling Blue Florals that is! Lately I've just been using blue in so many designs.

Gold N Blue Geo design I came up with after receiving my #bornprettystore haul package!

American French Baby Boomer Mani...

2017-07-23T13:06:00.001-04:00

I got so confused researching this manicure because some people call this the "American French Manicure" and ohers call it "Baby Boomer" nails so I don't know what to call it!? I guess I'll call it both, either way the images aren't really picking up the subtleties of the colors I used. Maybe next time I'll try using more layers of sponging and use artificial light as well as the natural lighting to see which one looks better.

I wonder how this mani woould look with darker nudes or even neons?! What do you think?

Red Velvet "The Red Summer" Inspired...

2017-07-18T12:42:00.003-04:00

Here is my #KPOP inspired look by the beautiful group Red Velvet for their new album Red Flavor. I always love their music and their playful and pretty looks so I was super inspired by them and their newest album and came up with this look.

Thanks to Born Pretty Store for providing these gorgeous nail art water decals which you can find here! These water decals are super easy to use, just cut out the shape you want, remove the protective film, and dip in water! The decal is now ready to place wherever you choose, blot with a towel, and protect with your favorite top coat. Its that simple to get really pretty looks with no art experience required! I love using decals because I really cannot freehand because of my shaky ass hands lol! 🍉

4th of July, Red, White N Blue...

2017-07-17T12:32:00.001-04:00

Here is my 4th of July design created using DIY stickers made by stamping and image over top coat and then pressing foil over the stamp design and quickly removing it which leaves behind a foiled stamp design! I wanted the flourishes to represent fireworks so I made them red and blue and obviously on the white background. Of course, I had to add an accent nail of starry glitter to round out the perfect July 4th celebratory designs! I loved it! ❤💙💗

Lavender Lovely...

2017-07-15T21:27:00.001-04:00

I'm calling this one Lavender Lovely 😍💜💜💜... I loved creating this mani! I made my own stickers using a quick top coat and my foils for the design on a few of the nails and combined it with a beautiful shimmery glitter as an accent. I really loved the end result.

Dragon Fruity N Glitter...

2017-07-14T12:19:00.001-04:00

I would have called this a grapefruit mani because of the color but the fruit on my ring finger is actually Dragon fruit. In any case, I think the outcome is pretty, its so pretty that I had to share more photos than I usually post! What do you think?

Product details will be in my next post. 🏵

Sweet N Fruity Mani...

2017-07-14T11:20:00.005-04:00

I love fruit and this manicure was so fun to create 🍉🍓! I found these nail art filmo fruit pieces at the Dollar Tree months ago and I finally put it to good use. I love this mani so much and it was really simple to put together. As you can see from the images, I painted half of my nail the color of the fruit and then attached the pieces to the opposite side.

My favorite finger is the thumb, what do you think?

Pretty N Pink Duo-Chrome

2017-07-12T14:12:00.001-04:00

This pink mani is so simple but so very cute in my opinion. I love the combination of the duo-chrome pink that has a pretty gold shift which really doesn't translate in these images. I hope you can see how pretty that duo-chrome beauty is!

BTW, these Gel Paints by Color Club purchased at Five Below are a super great buy! These polishes apply like a dream and are completely opaque in one coat though for a more vibrant effect I always apply two. I love how smoothly they apply and how quickly they dry. I would totally recommend these if you like gel-like polishes that really last long! I have four colors, "Gellow It's Me," "PB&Gelly Time," "Gel'n Like a Melon" and the pink one listed below all together so far but I'm not sure if Five Below even has any other shades available aside from the top coat from the line.

Has anyone found any other shades?

Coral N Blue Mermaid Skin...

2017-07-12T12:55:00.005-04:00

Sea-ish blues and Coral omg, I wish I could use this color combination every manicure but I know that would be super boring right?! I used a beautiful iridescent glitter by Sally Hansen "Rainbow Fish" over the different blues and it just instantly screamed Mermaid skin to me. What do you think?

BTW have you checked out my new YouTube channel, MariMynxx? I have uploaded two videos so far and have a few more on the way so please visit! I will try to upload a new video every Friday for now! Thank you guys visiting ❤.

Nudey N Holo Floral, Sort of...

2017-07-11T17:53:00.000-04:00

I was just testing this new application Wondershare Filmora that I use for editing my videos and I had just found out that they have a version for Android, FilmoraGo so I decided to try it out and film a bit of this Foil application fail. The foil is full of pretty flower shapes, however, they didn't transfer completely so that's why you can only see parts of the flowers. Even though the images of the flowers aren't' so clear, the holo is pretty right?!

Blushed toned Nudey White and Silver Glitter... does that even make sense??

This mani is very simple and understated but beautiful all the same!

For this post I wanted to put together a little info about some of the hauls I've had since May. Yeah I know its only the beginning of July and I have so many to share... *cough* let's move on!

For the image above, my mini haul was at Walmart where I found two Color Club mood changing polishes that were on clearance for $3 each which was a super bargain since the original price is about $10 each. They are from left to right, "Everything's Peachy" and "Feelin' Myself". So I basically got two for less than the price of one. I also picked up a few Pure Ice's new shades "Day to Night", "Sparkle City", "Poppin' Bottle's", and a Frost Finish Matte top coat for $1.99 each. I also picked up "Star Spangled Sparkle" by Salon Perfect because its holographic chunky glitter. Need I say more?

I got these beauties from Amazon since I have Prime and I have to use that shit and believe me, I do! This is my first time buying any gel polishes and the lamp is a Coscelia 9W Mini USB LED Lamp Nail Dryer. I have never used or had to buy a lamp before so I know this isn't like the top of the line or anything. I just wanted something small and cheap and this definitely fit the bill.

However, I am annoyed that these polishes were about $7 each and the Matte was $4.99. I know I could've found cheaper gel polishes but I didn't' know what brands were shit and which one's weren't that wouldn't be even more pricey so I settled on these from Elite99.

I got these to help me with my picture taking game and omg I have to say that this LST Selfie Light is so EFFING COOL! I love this thing so much and I really liked the price even better. When I bought this it was $9.99. This rechargeable ring light is really cheap which is what I'm all about. But it is also really useful for taking pictures at night.

I take images of my nails during the day whenever I finish my manicures. I usually do my nails in the morning or early afternoon and like to take advantage of the natural light that pours through my windows but sometimes I don't get a chance to follow my normal routine so this light comes in handy.

I got the Mini Octopus Tripod so that I could film some videos to share. I'm really trying to up my game and film/edit/post videos on top of just sharing my images. I really like this tripod also because it is easy to use and really flexible. Also a great buy at just $10 bucks!

Well that conludes this post of my mini hauls, I don't want to make this post a too long to read one though I already have a part two in the works so please come back to view that one!!

What are your favorite places to shop online or otherwise?

XOXO ~ Mari

Coral N Teal Floral...

2017-07-10T14:26:00.001-04:00

I know I say this a lot but I was super loving this Summer Floral mani like A LOTS! It really didn't take as long as I thought it would to create this design but the outcome is so expensive looking to me! I was really impressed with the stickers from Born Pretty Store and how easy they were to use, just wet, remove the backing paper, and stick! I love this look!

Black N Gold Tribal...

2017-07-09T22:56:00.002-04:00

Blue Moon N Lace...

2017-07-09T20:58:00.000-04:00

This manicure was inspired by @mari_lumme and her beautiful Aztec Blue design. I opted for a simple lace design instead of the tribal shapes. It was a bit sloppy but again, I ain't perfect and never will claim to be but I do pride myself in learning from my mistakes so bear with me please!

Royal Blue Elegance...

2017-07-07T17:44:00.000-04:00

This mani is sort of a mix and match because of all the shit thats going in here. On the pinky and index fingers I used a few primary colors and used the dry brush technique to add strokes of color over the white base. The ring finger is sporting a jelly sandwich and the middle and thumbs are weraring two coats of the blye base color.

My inspiration for this mani from @flickanail, her designs are super pretty and I would love to copy all of them!

2017-07-07T14:06:00.000-04:00

This mani is so elegant and yet it was super simple to create. This is my first time using these red polishes but I think I'm obsessed with Taking the Red-eye! ITS such a pretty cool toned red, I love it!

Starting with my new manicure posts, I'll be posted step bu step information and images for all the steps. I'm alsp planning on updating my Pinterest and other social media acccounts so please follow me on all my socials.
