Born Pretty Store Review, Black Lace Nail Art

Hello I'm back! I've not been posting regulary this month but I have been crazy busy! I have so many things in mind I can't even spend some time relaxing doing nail art. Despite all the work from uni and my job and singing I found some time to finally start reviewing all the products Born Pretty Store sent me last month.


The first product I will be reviewing is a set of nail art brushes. I painted an intracate lace design inspired by Finger Painted using all these brushes and they were perfect.

Boo! Ghost Pattern Nail Art

Happy Monday everyone! I'm starting to get some inspiration for Halloween designs. So I expect to be posting some different halloween themed manis from now until the end of the month.

The fist design is a cute ghost pattern. It's easy, it's cute and it's perfect if you don't like spooky designs.

Autumn Leaves

Happy Sunday! How is everything going. Autumn is finally here and I really miss summer already after only a week. The weather has been terrible this week. However I've been wanting to to an autumn inspired design for a long time so at least not everything is bad.

New season, new nail shape! For those of who who don't follow me on instagram haven't seen my new nail shape yet. I chipped my index working and I decided to go round for some time. Plus it's safer for work (I teach little kids).

Red Floral Paisley

Happy Sunday lovely followers! My first week back at classes and at my new job was a success. My kids are amazing and my work colleagues have helped me so much in my first week. I've found myself quite exhausted but I tried to put together this post before the week ended.

I've decided that I will probably be doing my nails at night after uni and work and this is a design I did the other night which I hope you like.

Lines and Dots

Hey guys! I am writing today on my last hour of my last day of my holidays. This is a really sad moment that needs to be brighten up by some colorful nail art.

Last night, after a nail fail caused by the beauty of Charie Hunnam, I decided to paint something easy and bright with a nice selection of summer colors.

Abstract Nature

Hello lovelies! Last week of holiday and a terrible thing happened the other day. I had the most terrible and painful break on the hand I do my nail art on. However I was lucky enough for it to be my thumb which I normally don't show and I can easily regrow without much pain.

After leting you know this, which I really don't know if you care or not but it's my blog and I will tell you anyway, I will show you today's design.

Achromatic Leaves Pattern

Uuupps guys it's been a while! Hello everybody, it's been nearly a week I can't believe it. I'm totally enjoying my last weeks of freedom before going back to uni and starting my new job as a teacher and I even neglected paiting my nails because of a break on my thumb, and because I was too sad to remove my last design.

I'm back with new nail art. You will probably recognize this design and that is because it's totally inspired by Pshiiit Polish.

Mani Swap with Lindsey from Wondrously Polished: Feather and Floral Nail Art

Happy Wednsesday! How is your week going? Enjoying the last weeks of your holida? I am making the most out of them before they finish.

As I told you in my last post I have a little surprise for you, I did a mani swap with the talented Lindsey from Wondrously Polished. I decided it would be a nice idea since we are on hiatus from the NAGG Challenge we have been doing together. We picked one of our designs and recreated it.

Chocolate Damask

Hello guys! How's your summer going? I've been missing in action this last week. I've just haven't stop doing things with all my friends before going away on holiday to London for a week.

The other day I remembered a design I had seen in a picture some time ago. However I was unable to find it and therefore find the person who did it. I tried my best to recreathe the image that I had in my mind of the design I saw. If anyone recognizes this let me know so I can give credit to the awesome artist that came up with this cute barroque design.

Strawberry Fields

Happy Friday everyone! I'm a bit busy these days with rehearsals and stuff with my choir. Summer is quite a busy period for us as we get lots of concerts but we are having an awesome time. Yesterday before the concert I had some time to do a little nail art.

I love strawberries and I had only painted them once for the Across the Universe design. I decided to try and paint some more starwberries and see how they turned out. I'm pretty pleased with how they ended up looking. Let's see what you think.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge - Day 15: Round and Square

Hello lovelies! Finally friday. Although I'm on holiday I celebrate that it's already friday because every morning I go to study for my driving licence, which I still haven't got. So I'm happy that tomorrow morning I can sleep in a bit.

Today I bring to you a new design for the NAGG Challenge. The frist theme for the third phase of the challenge is Round and Square and I did this simple geometrical pattern.

Pink Flamingos

Hello lovelies! How is everything going? Me and my family are doing a bit better. Now that I'm on holiday I also feel better, stress did not help much with my situation. I hope that you excuse this month with such little activity. I promise I will do better from now on.

The other day I bought a new shirt and it's yellow and has pink flamingos on it. I thought it would be a wonderful idea for a nail art design so here it is.

Neutral Sophistication

Happy sunday guys! How's everything going? I don't have really good news I'm afraid. I'm overwhelmed with all my exams and projects, and if that wasn't enough my father isn't getting better. I hope you all understand why I'm not posting that much.

However last night to disconnect a bit I did this delicate floral design over one of my neutral OPI polishes 'Did you 'ear about Van Gogh?'. I hope you like it.

When I Grow Up I Want to be a Mermaid

Hello lovelies! It's been some days I know. I'm trying to get everything done but I'm struggling, between final exams, projects and my dad in the hospital I can't get everything done. Lindsey and I are taking a little break from the NAGG Challenge, just this week and the following, don't worry guys.

Today I'm sharing with you this design. I've been wanting to do fish scales since I did my Dragon scales mani which you can find here, and also a tutorial here.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge - Day 11: Wallpaper

Thank God its Friday! This week has been terrible, I've had so little time for nail art and so much work. However I'm at least kind of keeping up with the challenge.

Today the theme was wallpaper and the first idea that came to my mind was the typicall 70s orange and yellow design.

Roses Are Red, This Floral Is Too

Hello lovelies! For those who follow me on Instagram this is not new but, for those who don't, I recently bought my first ever OPI polishes. I've just tried one but I'm already a fan of My Vampire is Buff. I can't believe how pretty it is and how well it looks with this floral design.

I've Got My Eyes on Blue

Hello guys! Starting the week with two posts is just great. I am trying to post a lot before all my exams come next month, then it will be reclusion and studying hard. Until then I have many things I want to post.

Today I have this design which was inspired by Danielle's recreation of a design by So Nailicious.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge - Day 6: Neon

Hello guys! I've been a bit busy this last week. I had rehearsal with my choir to prepare for our concert, which was yesterday and was amazing.

I didn't post las Thursday as I had planned because I was waiting for Lindsey to catch up. Now we are on the same page it's time for a new design for the NAGG Challenge. The theme for today was neon and I came up with this design inspired by an 80s pattern.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge - Day 5: Contrast

Hello loves! Did you have a nice Easter? Mine was wonderful, friends, party all night and sleep all day. My parents have been away and took the camera I use for my nail photos on holiday so I haven't been able to do much nail art these days. However they came back and I did a new design for the NAGG Challenge.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge - Day 4: Monochrome

Hi guys. How is everything going? I hope you are all enjoying Easter. Today's design is part of the NAGG Challenge. The theme for today was monochromatic and after two nail fails I decided to do a simple geometric design. I had other ideas but at the end I did this.
