Nails Of The Week!

Another nail post! Sorry I've done so many this month, I'll try and cut them back, I promise. This week I've used Models Own Nude Beige and a nail tattoo from Born Pretty Store (Review can be found here).


I'm going to be super busy revising for exams over the next month so posts will be limited. I'm stressing out big time and don't think I can get the grades to get into Uni! I wish I revised more for AS so I wouldn't need to retake exams.

Enjoy your Sunday evening :)

Kelier Crackle Polish


I'm not a fan of shatter/crackle polishes but I have to admit, I like this one. I prefer this 'shattered glass' effect rather than the likes of Barry M's Nail Effects, which can look messy.
This is another product from Born Pretty Store and costs $4.52 (Around £2.80). I've just looked on the site and can only find the green and yellow shades of this; the rest of the crackle polishes are from another brand (And have that Barry M-like effect which I'm not fond of). Click here to take a look at the crackle polishes available.
This flakes off extremely easily so you have to be careful not to move your fingers before you apply a top coat. Also, it is hard to remove with nail polish remover (It took me 10 minutes to remove this polish from 5 finger nails). Although the formula isn't the best, the effect is really nice and the price is so affordable!

Oh and, the colour I'm wearing underneath is China Glaze's For Audrey.

Nail tattoos

I like the idea of nail tattoos - nail art for the lazy :P
The nail tattoos I'm reviewing today are from Born Pretty Store and you can buy them here for $4.73, which is around £2.88.

I'm not too keen on the patterns in this pack and only like three designs; leopard (Top row, second column), giraffe (Second row, third column) and zebra print (Third row, second column). The Louis Vuitton designs are extremely tacky.

The instructions. Notice a few spelling mistakes?

These are extremely easy to use and you just apply them like you would with a fake tattoo.


I tried out the zebra design with the polish I have been wearing this week (Barry M's Coral):
Because I couldn't be bothered to change my polish, the design looks more like tiger print!
I cannot wait to try the other two designs I like and will most likely wear a nude base polish.

I will probably only wear the tattoos on my ring finger and maybe my thumb. This is because I want the tattoos to last and if I put a design on all of my fingers, I will use an entire square (They're not that big).

I love the idea of nail tattoos but I'm not a huge fan on the selection of designs with this particular pack. That being said, this pack is only a few pounds are there is free shipping with Born Pretty Store :)
