BPS review: (#43182) 6ml BORN PRETTY Quick Building Gel Nail Tips Finger Extension Glue Nail Art UV Building Gel

There's a first time for everything, right guys? ๐Ÿคจ


The new hottest trend that's happening in all social media is: BUILDER GEL.
I mean, it's not so easy for first timers to use..
BUT that does not mean one cannot buy to give it a try for thyself.
I can say so myself..because it was something I had to learn on my own by watching some tutorials first, of course. Watching tutorials on how to apply a builder gel is great because I learned how to apply them on my own nails. It was not as easy as it is watching a tutorial than it is to apply on my own nails. Only because I wanted long nails and had to practice with the nail form stickers. 

It was tough trying to get it to bend and stick to my natural nail curves. But when I got the nail forms on, though the Quick Builder Gel it has a pretty thick consistency formula already. It helps sits and not run to the sides of your nails. That's what I liked about it! OH! AND It also cures under a LED lamp. 

Here, I chose to apply 3 thin coats just for safety measures. I was paranoid about breaking my nails because of creating such thin layers of quick builder on my nails. So, I added 3 layers. I filed the sides and buffed the tops of my nails in the process because I wanted a clean and evenly nail bed. Then topped it with a non-wipe gel top coat. 

One thing that threw me off a bit was that the bristle brush was not easy to use. It felt like the bristles didn't want to fan out for a good even application. It would bunch up a bit and it took more gel builder than I would have liked. Maybe I just got a bad brush? 

Though, it was easy to use, I have a nail filer to help buff & file them evenly. It turned out great nonetheless!! I'm impressed by far! I've had it on my natural nails for 2 weeks now and it is so good! 


I'm not a professional nail tech but it was fun playing with @bornprettyofficial 'Quick Builder UV Gel' (item #43182) over nail forms to add more length to my nails to match my left hand.

**note: I've had these on over a week now. Hence, the length of my natural nails.**

BPS review: (#42859) BORN PRETTY Nail Stamping Polish Agate Green Nail Art Plate Melody Life Stamping Series

I love a good stamping polish. Don't you?

I found this green gem at www.bornprettystore.com!
It stamps wonderfully.. Perfectly, pastel-y stamping polish too. If I say so myself!

Check out how opaque this beauty is on my stamping nail art! I was ecstatic about that!
It is super creamy and didn't dry too quickly so that it could easily transfer from the stamper to the nails.

BPS review: Chinese Style L004 stamping plate (item: #45897)


It is almost the end of March already but we are still allowed to wish everyone a Happy New Year?! lol 





Today, I have this beautiful www.bornprettystore.com stamping plate review. I loved this stamping plate so much that I just had to create two manicures!



Besides all the cuteness on this plate.. It is so easy to use. The images picked up with my stamper head just fine with my stamping polishes. 







I chose to go with the original red but with a soft white gold accent nail. On the second manicure, I went with Born Pretty Stores nude shade as my base.
