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.

Review of Born Pretty Store 'No Wipe Top Coat'

Hi Guys!!
Today I am here with review of Born Pretty Store 'No Wipe Top Coat', item ID 39795

No wipe top coat of various brands have been there for a long time and are unlike normal LED/UV top coat they don't require to wipe off the sticky layer and that is why they are appropriate for applying chrome and mirror powders. 

I never got to try these before and I so desperately wanted to try it and when Allison from Born Pretty Store sent it to me for review, I was so elated and couldn't wait for the parcel to come. The day it arrived I just opened it and tried it. I also used chrome powder 'Blue Bullet' by Mitty Burns but all that later.

First off the BPS No Wipe Top Coat is amazing, the brush glides on smoothly and covers the nails in a very less amount. I cured it for 30 seconds in a LED lamp and the best thing- you don't require to wipe the sticky layer as there is none, yayyyyyy....!!!! Beacuse of this particular trait this top coat is suitable for chrome and mirror powders.

I used Mitty Burns "Blue Bullet' over this top coat and this is what was the outcome-

 So let me get to the steps-

1. Prep your nails and use a gel base coat. I have used Soak off gel by Madam Glam. Cure it under LED lamp for 30 Seconds or 2 mins in a UV lamp.

2. Apply a base gel polish, I have applied two coats of 'Perfect Black' by Madam Glam, curing each coat in in LED lamp for 30 seconds (you can cure it under UV lamp as well for 2 minutes)

3. Apply Born Pretty Store 'No Wipe Top Coat' and cure it under LED for 30 seconds/ UV lamp for 3 minutes.

4. Apply cuticle mask around the nails to save from the mess

5. Next apply Blue Bullet chrome powder by Mitty Burns with the help of eye shadow applicator. Just dip the eye shadow applicator in the pot of powder and start brushing it on the nails.

6. Brush of the excess powder from the nails and apply a LED top coat over the desired result and cure it under LED lamp for 30 seconds. I have used Cuccio Colour Veneer No.5

7. This top coat requires sticky layer to be wiped off, so use finishing wipe to wipe off the sticky layer.

This is the the desired result you will get-
