This gel is pretty! When I saw this beauty, it didn't cross my mind til afterwards to use a black gel for the base.. I got too excited and started to paint my nails with this mesmerizing beauty. HAHA! It applied so well and it is one true sparkly bottle of a goodie gel.

**Shade: (BP - 02)

Always remember to use a bonder before applying the base gel foundation for a strong, long lasting mani then apply your preffered gel color to save your natural nails!

Another tip is to cure under an UV/LED in between coats starting from the bonder all the way down to the base + color gels! 😁😚💖

Born Pretty Store review: (4) UV Gel Polishes

Hello everyone! 

I always have such a great time reviewing fun nail art products sent to me for free from www.bornprettystore.com! I had the privilege to review 4 UV Gel Polish. One is a gold multi size glitter, sheer pink holographic gel, nude gel polish and last but not least, a purple gel polish that has a shimmery tone that is golden yellow/orange. They are all so pretty! Stay tuned for my honest opinions on these lovely gels!


Sheer Pink UV Gel Polish
item #24291 (1)
^shown above: glitter gradient over black. 2 coats over nude.^

^shown above, 2 coats of item #24291 (1)^


HOW-TO-DIY
*As usual, always do the 1-2-3 steps to ensure a long lasting gel manicure!

1. Shape your nails.
2. Lightly buff your nail beds with a soft nail buffing block (that's good for the natural nails).
3. Cleanse your nails beds with a cleanser or just a lint-free wipe with alcohol.
4. Apply Gelish pH Bond
5. Apply Gelish Foundation & cure under LED Light
6. Apply 1-2 coats of preferred gel polish/color (cure separate times each coats)
7. Apply Gelish Top It Off (cure for 30 secs)
8. Wipe off access tacky layer with a lint-free alcohol wipe & you're done!

^Nude Gel in Matte item#23591 (11)^
shown in 2 coats (Can easily get away with just 1 coat. NICELY OPAQUE in just 1 coat but I did 2.)
I love how the nude is so beautiful in matte! Though after a day, the matte shines but I happen to not mind about that. It's beautiful both ways. The wear of the Born Pretty Store gel polishes are frigging amazing! They last pretty well for a week. I'd totally recommend this brand to anyone who is looking for some affordable, long lasting and a ton of variety of colors and glitter gels to choose from!

Purple Shimmer Orange/Golden Yellow tone Gel Polish
item# 23733
shown above in 2 coats (cured under LED Light)
This one dries in matte as well but I forgot to take photo's of it in a matte state. 
I apologize for that but I can guarantee you that this beauty definitely looks waaay better in a glossy finish to capture it's sparkly orange and golden yellow tones!

bornprettystore.com VIP Color Gel Polish item #22605 (11)

Hello everyone!
This review has been long overdue.. My review package came to me a month later early November. I started to review and swatch them but during the second week of November was a rough one for me. I dropped my cellphone to its death. I even lost a lot of my photo's & videos for my reviews. Sadly, I had to use my images and tutorials saved up from Instagram to post here. This particular VIP Gel Color is a beautiful one. Can't wait to show you guys what I thought about it! So, please keep reading!! 

This shade I chose is in (#11). It changes from a soft, powdery blue (when changed under warm water) to a darker shade of violet-blue (when changed under cold air and water!). It sure is a fun thermal gel polish to play with! You'll be wasting a lot of water just playing with your nails.. LOL! You're lucky if the weather is cooler outside in the winter time. You'll even save yourself some time playing with warm & cold water from turning your fingers all pruney lolol! Haha, the fresh, cold, crisped air will surely be the best way to help transition your gel manicure! It's friggin amazing stuff!! So, please sure to go check this product out if you enjoy a long lasting manicure ladies and gentlemen!

Above mani is shown in its warm state. Though at the tips of my nails, it is slightly transitioning to its cold state. I happen to love this Thermal Gel Polish in (11). It was very easy to use. It requires to use a foundation as your base before applying the gel polish itself to protect your natural nails. Though I did find it rather hard to come off after a few days wear. I liked the fact that it wasn't showing any tip wear. This mani lasted me for a week long which I really enjoyed about this product! I wish I hadn't broken my recent phone because I had my photo's all saved up just for this review. Sadly, I didn't have any photo's saved to show you the after look on my week long wear.



My How To Gel Polish Tutorial:

1) Clean/apply your nail beds with Alcohol wipe or Bonder.

2) Apply a thin layer of Foundation @gelishmini. & Cure it for 30secs in the LED light.

3) Apply VIP shellac color & cure it for 30secs.

4) Apply a second coat to make the shellac color pop out more if it's sheer like mines. & Cure it for another 30secs. 
5) Apply Top It Off @gelishmini to deal your color for a long lasting shellac/gel manicure. & Cure it for a minute.

6) Wipe the top of your nails with a lint free alcohol prep wipe. & Your done! 
Wah~lah! Now, you can enjoy a beautiful gel mani that will last you for a couple of weeks! I'm so in love with this VIP shellac color in no.10 (item #22605) from @bornprettystorenailart! If you decide to grab this one, be sure to check the other 18 thermal VIP shellacs they have available. They're super easy to work with & ALWAYS use a foundation or a base gel before applying the color to protect your natural nails!




Enjoy this mini video of the transitioning states!
