When I spotted these glitters in the Born Pretty Store, I knew I had to try them out right here, right now, oh my god, as soon as possible! I already have some hexagonal glitter in royal blue but I really wanted to add some more colours to my collection and Born Pretty are stocking a great range.
These pieces are just over 1mm in diameter and as close to flat as you can get so once there's a top coat over them, they don't snag on anything or tempt you to pick away until they've all somehow disappeared!
I used Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream as a base colour. Then I took a toothpick with the end dipped in clear polish (to make it sticky) to pick up and place on the Gold* and Blue* glitter.

I was completely amazed at the size of the pots these glitters come in. They are so huge, and packed right up to the top so I don't think I'll ever run out. Just to give you an idea, here are a few pictures to of the pot with some familiar objects to give some proportion.
You can browse the selection of colours and shapes BornPrettyStore.com. They cost around $2.38 per pot but the price varies slightly with shape and colour. Don't forget you can use my code, SA5X31, to get 10% off your order.

ReplyDeleteYay! I'm getting the gold ones so I could make more framed nails! Your mani looks just AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the stickers! It's a really cute mani.
ReplyDeleteThey look a bit fussy to apply, but I love the effect! My favourite is the all-blue nail.
ReplyDeleteWow. This is so awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a pain to do, but I'm definitely adding this mani to the list of manis I want to do!
That looks really cool, but I'm not sure I'd have the patience to place them!
ReplyDeleteYou are just so patient! LOL I love this look but I'm pretty sure that I would throw the glitter before I was done with my manicure! LOL
ReplyDeleteI really love these, the effect is so cool. I'm not sure I have enough patience but I totally want to try this out sometime. Looks like you get a lot of glitter too! Love how you framed two of the nails.
ReplyDeleteI really love it, you are so creative with your glitter! I don't think I could have the patience to do manicures as awesome as this!
ReplyDeleteGaaaah! That is a GIANT container!!!! So pretty!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am getting some too so I can't wait to play with them :D
Could you tweet me how you applied them? one at a time with a dab of topcoat OR did you cover the whole nail in topcoat and then race to add them?
Great job!!!!!
Great!! :)
ReplyDeleteOoo, I just placed my first Born Pretty order after seeing this! Cute cute cute. :) I used your code too, haha.
