I cannot believe it's already 2016! The time is flying by! I'm actually really excited about this post. I wanted to be a little bit more adventurous and try different things. I will explain as I go.
I have 4 BornPrettyStore items that I will be showing you today! I decided to combine all these items into one because in a way, they are all very similar!
The first item I tried were these AMAZING tweezers! They are GREAT! I am literally so excited that I was able to pick these out because they are so helpful especially if you are really into vinyls! I used these tweezers in every mani I will be posting today.
Under the listing it gives you the option between two different tweezers. I chose pattern #1 because it was the smallest and the other one was appeared a bit larger. The great thing about these tweezers is that they are very sharp which helps with picking up practically any vinyl! I also recommend you are extra careful because they can literally cut into anything haha This is what the packaging looks like. It comes with a little holder to protect the tip of the tweezer. Don't throw it away. It helps a lot with storing.

Here is a macro of how sharp they are!
Next item is Chevron Nail Striping Tape which I am also sooooooooo in like with! The best thing about this tape is that you can cut it to your nail width or length. I have skinny nail beds and sometimes I get bummed out when the vinyls I purchase are too long because I feel like it's a waste of product. With this striping tape it really is easy to use. You just need to have some scissors in hand to cut them up to your liking. This striping tape is also very inexpensive! They also come in different colors. I chose the color, Laser Gold.
For this mani I used:
- Chevron Nail Striping Tape (this was used on every finger)
- Tweezers (very useful with this striping tape)
- Azature Jade Diamond
- Essie Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low
Next mani I have is the Mini Floral Water Decals! I have become a huge fan of water decals! They are literally the easiest this ever to use! I have a tutorial on my instagram account (@minipolishh) showing you how to use it. This pack comes with 4 different designs. You can cut them up to the length and width of your nails. Once you cut them up make sure to remove the plastic from the water decals before you throw them in the water. I just get an type of water, kind like those fake tattoos you buy from the 25 cent machine, same rules. I also decided to finally use my lightbox and my camera so upcoming pictures might be better (quality wise) and hopefully a lot more clear. I will also try to have tutorials up for most of my manis!
For this mani i used:
- Mini Floral Water Decals: C114
- Tweezers
- Jolie polish 'White Stamping'
- Jolie Polish 'Pink Stamping' (Available at the end of this month)
- HK Girl Topcoat (make sure to wait for the first coat to dry then apply another coat. These decals tend to eat up the first layer of topcoat)!
- Chevron Nail Striping Tape
- Water, tap water, any type of water.
Last product I received were these super cute Snowflake Transfer Stickers these work the same way as the water decals. I cut each of them separately and applied them onto my nails. I know the whole christmas manis are over but it's been kind of snowing here so snowflake manis are still doable! yay!! I loved these transfer stickers because they mani manicures so easy!!
For this mani I used:
- Cupcake Polish Blood Hound
- Snowflake Transfer Stickers
- HK Girl Topcoat
- Water, tap water, any type of water.
