So recently i got an opportunity by the "
Born Pretty Store" to try out two of their products.
Basically Born pretty store is an online shopping site which offers a great variety of beauty products and their specialty is the wide range of
Nail Art products they have on their website.
I got one DIY nail art stamping kit and a pair of hair volumizers.
DIY Nail Art Stamping Kit:
The kit contains three products.An image plate that has 9 designs,a stamp and a blade.
This is the result i got after 2 tries.
I know i still need a lot of practice until i master it
My Experience:
I'm not good at anything related to nails.I mean i do like nail art alot but I'm not that good at it.When i received it,i had already seen a couple of videos on how to use it and it seemed quite easy but it took me a while until I realized that thin nail polishes don't really work with it.After i used a relatively thick color,it went all smooth.
So basically what you do is that you take the plate,choose which image you want to transfer on your nails.Then simply cover that image with your nail polish.Take the blade and wipe of the nail polish that you just applied on image.As the images are engraved on the plate the nail polish will sink into the images and all the excess will be wiped off by the blade.Place the stamp on the image,the nail polish inside the image will get transferred to the stamp.Place the stamp on your nails and you have nails with the image you desired.
You need a really thick polish for a thick "drawn with hands" effect. Other wise the image will actually look like a plain stamp. I was so excited for the hello kitty image but my nails were too thin for its whole face to appear. I'll keep trying to make it work though since i love hello kitty.
Over all i think it's such an amazing invention,It's cheap,gets done in no time and you can easily do it at home.It's available only for $3.88.For some one like me who's not good at doing nails,this kit is perfect.You do need a little practice before you start applying it perfectly.
PRICE: $3.88
Hair Bump It Up Soft Velcro Insert Hair Volumizers.
My Experience:
I happen to have dead straight hair and even though their are not thin,because of the texture they look completely flat and Usually in pictures I end up looking like a potato. I love anything that says "volumizing". So these really appealed to me when i saw them on the website.
They are sponge pieces with a band around that sticks to hair. They are very light and do hide in my hair pretty well.
Yes these sponges perform a decent job at creating a bump on top of your head.I personally hate teasing since its very damaging and requires more effort to create that perfect bump.These are better substitutes for teasing.You just place them under a section of hair and you are good to go.But i noticed they work better when your hair are tied up.If i use them when i leave my hair open,my hair strands just slip from the top of thesponge so i have to secure them with a pin. The sticky band,in the start, sticks to the hair well but after sometime it slips down since my hair are very silky. I wish they had holes through which i could secure these with bobby pins but since i'm going to use them whenever i go for a tied up hair-do its not going to be a problem for me.
I heard they are as good as bumpits but since i haven't used Bumpits i can't say anything but they sure are a lot cheaper.
Over all i really liked these volumizers. I think I'll be using them a lot while attending formal events.
PRICE: $ 3.30
I really liked the experience with born pretty store.They have an impressive range of products and if you are more into
