Hello Kitty Nail Decals 

So who can turn down anything Hello Kitty? I know I cant! This is one of the many different Hello Kitty nail decals that Born Pretty has to choose from. And theyre glittery!

These decals are very easy to use and apply very easily. Just peel, place and smooth on! 

Base Color: Butter London - Marrow - 2 coats

Top Coat: NYC Top Coat New York Minute

When I apply decals, I tend to apply then when my polish is still slightly tacky to help it better sick. This takes a little patience and a pair of tweezers to not smudge. 

12 Colors Dried Pressed Flowers
These are very fun! It took me a while to just decide what colors I wanted to use! There are 2 different styles of flowers in many bold colors! They come in this handy little wheel that makes it easy to not spill or crush these little lovelies!

Base Color: Deborah Lippmann - Human Nature - 3 coats (all nails)

Ring Finger: Deborah Lippmann - Fairy Dust - 1 coat over Human Nature 

While my ring finger was still tacky I added a section of the flowers to my nail. I lightly pressed them down with the tip of my tweezers. I topped this off Gealous top coat to give it a good seal, and to cover any roughness. I really loved how this came out, as it was my first attempt with pressed flowers. I had to share some other shots.

Have you shopped from Born Pretty Store yet? What have you ordered?

My first Deborah Lippmann - Mermaids Dream

I had been obsessing over Mermaids Dream ever since I first saw it. When I first got my tax return this was one of the first lacquers on my list!

I was very excited to try this out as I hear nothing but love for her lacquers and colors. To be honest, while I am still just in love with this color - I was a bit unhappy with the formula, even for a glitter-type.

It seems to bee a little gloppy, and the brush was way below expectations. These two together made it a little difficult to work with. Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Seriously, if I weren't so in love with this color I wouldn't keep it. Have any of you experienced this with this color or any of her other lacquers? Or did I get a bad bottle? If that's the case - that's a lot of money to risk the chance of getting a bad bottle. Suggestions?
