Review of UR Sugar Polygel and slip solution and dual forms

Hi guys!!
Today I have review of this UR Sugar Polygel in colour Pearl Pink, UR Sugar slip solution and dual forms which was kindly sent to me by Emily from Born Pretty Store.





































First of let me start with polygel which comes in a handy 30 ml black tube. The consistency of gel is thick but is very sticky. You can work with the gel nicely without having to worry it falling or slipping along the cuticles or side walls, it will stay put where you have placed it but you will definitely need slip solution to spread it as it is sticky and thus you can have problem of brush sticking to the product and product not spreading nicely. The color is a pearl pink which is few shades darker than french pink color. If you want to do french nails and don't want a pinkier shade than I must suggest that you should go with a lighter shade than this i.e. soft pink shade. The gel cures in 60 seconds and give a nice glass like finish. I will totally recommend this product though and at a price of  $2.99 it's a steal deal. You can buy different shades of this polygel from Born Pretty Store site as it comes in 8 pretty shades.

Next up is slip solution which comes in 20ml dropper bottle. The bottle comes nicely sealed and once you have used it the cap tightens very well and you will have to press on the cap and rotate it to open it. It doesn't  have a stinky or strong smell like acrylic monomer. It does the work very well in spreading the polygel and smooth it out and don't worry about the color of the solution, it will not transfer or show on the polygel. I totally recommend this product to use along with the polygel.

The last and important product, the dual forms. This is a very revolutionary product as you do not require any tips or forms when you use this product and it can totally be reused. You don't have to worry about the apex as it gives a nice apex to the gel extensions. The only thing that you need to do is shape the nails accordingly after you have created extensions using these forms and gel. It would have been so nice if the forms comes in different shapes, it would be a dream come true for nail techs and will certainly reduce their time to do a set of nails.

These are the extensions that I created with these products-


















I have video (linked below) of how to use these products to create an extension, i hope you like it-

BPS Champagne Rose Gold Holographic Pigment

Hey peeps!!!
Today I am here with a review of Born Pretty Store Champagne Rose Gold Holographic pigment, item ID 41375. 





The quantity of the jar which was sent to me was 0.2gm and original price is $2.09 but is available for $1.29, you can get an additional 10% off by using my code DVG10 while checkout. The jar is also available in 0.5gm and 0.8gm.
The powder is not a fine one but gives a nice holo effect after burnishing on nails. I applied the pigment over 4 different colors- Red, White, Black and Coral, the first three by Madam Glam and last one 'For Fox sake' by KB Shimmer.
I applied the powder three time over each color just to see the effect it gives over each color. 
In first coat it covers ok, and in third coat it fully covers and gives a nice holo effect. The base colors are not visible under sunlight in third coat but under a lamp you can make out the base colors. 
The holo effect is sperb and I would totally recommend this as it's a perfect holo pigment for wedding or cocktail nails.
Attached below are the pictures in different coats and colors-

Sun Rise Nail Art

Hey Fellas!!!
Today I have sun rise nail art for you to see. I did this design for Glam Nail Challenges hosted by Bianka aka nbnailart on Instagram.





































I had created a gradient using Picture Polish challenges on Instagram. The polishes used for gradient were 'Muse', 'Alice', 'Rose' and 'Sunflower' all by Picture Polish. I used a make up sponge to dab the polishes on the nails.





































You have to repeat the step for few times until you are satisfied with the result.
Apply a fast drying top coat to blend the colors nicely. Once it dries apply a matte top coat over it and let it dry. With black acrylic/poster color draw some random lines on the tip of the nails and draw tree silhouette over that. Add a top coat over it to seal your design and you are done.
With Glossy Top Coat
With Matte Top Coat
I hope you like the design and please follow me on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.

Black Mirror Nail art

Hi guys!!!
Today I have a cool design for you, I did some black mirror nail art over the previous black chrome nails. I had this idea in my mind since I got hold of the powder. I am a fan of black mirror nail series and watched all the episodes back to back. This is what I created-






































How I achieved this look-
1. Use Born Pretty Store Mirror Black Chrome Powder to create the look (all details in previous post).
2. Used Loreal matte top coat to mattify the nail surface.
3. Using white poster colors draw the details and design.
4. Top coat it.
5. And you are done



I have created a video for the same-

Born Pretty Store Black Mirror Chrome Powder

Hi guys!!!
Today I have a review of Born Pretty Store chrome powder in Mirror Black item ID 41295. 



The jar comes in 2 sizes, 1gm and 0.5 gm. I got the 1gm one for review. The packaging of the product was top notch and the quantity in the jar is good and will last long so you will be able to do a good number of nail sets. 
The powder when you first see, looks like a gun metal colored powder. 












I achieved this look after application of powder-

The way I Achieved it -
I applied Madam Glam 'Perfect Black' as base, cured it for 1 min in LED lamp and then applied Born Pretty store No wipe top coat, cured in LED lamp for 1min and then rubbed the powder nicely over it. Brushed the excess powder, again BPS no wipe top coat and cured it coat and I was done.
The powder does give a nice chrome effect


It gives totally different effect on white and silver colors (swipe to see) and I liked it's effect more on a silver color. 
Effect over white and silver





















Effect over all the three colors







The price of 0.5gm is USD 2.29 but currently is available for USD 1.99 and that saves you 13% but you can save more, how? Just apply code DVG10 while check out on born pretty store site and get additional 10% discount.

Have a look at the video I created for this look-

BPS Nail Sandy Sugar Powder Review

Hi guys!!
I am back with the review of Born Pretty Store 'Nail Sandy Sugar Powder' Item ID 39357 which was sent to me for review by Allison. There are various color combinations to choose from and I chose no. 519. 








The powder is made of small multicolored sequins. 
The one that I chose was combination of fluorescent green, pink, purple and white colored sequins.

The powder can be mixed with gel polish as well as normal polish and applied over nails and it gives a textured effect except for when used under a gel overlay (the effects can be seen in the attached video).
Here I have mixed it with gel and did a dotticure.

The effect as can be seen is 3D and textured. I really loved the way it turned out.
The products which I have used are-

1. Cuccio Nail solutions Base coat

2. Dance Legend Polish no. 641

3. Cuccio Pro T3 LED/UV Controlled Leveling gel  clear

4. Born Pretty Store Sandy Sugar Powder No. 519

Steps:
Apply base coat and then apply two coats of nail polish and let it dry. With a dotting tool put drops of gel over the nail polish and then sprinkle sugar powder over it. Cure in LED lamp for 1 min or in UV lamp for 2 mins. Dust off the excess powder with a fluffy brush and you are done.

The powder can also be mixed with gel and applied over nails or can be used under a gel overlay,

The powder always gives a textured finish except when used under a gel overlay. 

The quantity in the jar is 1.5 gm and is available for USD 0.99 but currently is available for USD 0.79, a discount of 20%!! So why wait order it now by clicking here. Use coupon code DVG10 while checkout to get 10% sitewide discount.
