Chic Floral Nails - Born Pretty Store Review

I think I can officially say I'm on a floral 'thang' right now.

I bought some sequins some weeks ago (awesome, neon and such, sequins) and I'd been dying to try a floral look I've been seing some other nail art bloggers do.

So here it is today:



Chic Floral Nails for Spring



I called it 'Chic Floral Nails' because you know black is that wonderful shade that instantly turns everything into chic mode ;)
I've used Inocos Efeitos 0% Preto.



BORN PRETTY STORE


For the sequin and stud placement I try a different method than my orange-stick-lick-the-tip one.
I was sent for review this Picker Wax Pencil by BornPrettyStore.com.
I was surprised at how easily it picked both the light sequins and the sturdy studs I used.



STUDS
  

The wax pencil comes in a kit that also brings this palette to hold your studs (you don't have to spread them all over your working table anymore) and, which for me is the best part, its triangle shape makes it so easy to put everything back in your containers. My favourite thing, for sure.


Available HERE.
Easily Picking Up Rhinestone Picker Wax Pen/ Glue/ Palette Kit

 

This item retails for $1.69, with FREE International shipping.  Also, coupon code SGBQ10 will get you an additional 10% off of your entire purchase.

The only thing I don't much like about my end result to this mani is the size of the studs I chose to wear: I should have gone for smaller ones, don't you think so too?
Let me know in the comments below! 


Also, how do you usually pick your studs/rhinestones/sequins to place them on your nail?
I was always told by my mom and sister that the whole licking-the-tip-of-the-orange-stick thing was kinda gross, but, hey!, it worked ;)
So, basically, I want to know if I'm the only freak out there doing it or not - step up front, ladies :)



Hugs & Kissies,

  4. These neon coloured sequins look sooo cute on you!! :D It could work with smaller studs too, but I already LOVE the way they are :)) I use a ball of sticky putty called BluTack on the end of wood stick to pick up stones etc. ;D But this wax pen thing looks awesome!!!

  7. Yes, maybe with smaller studs would work too,. This way all the spotlight is on the colorful glitter, so the stud size in not that important. I love the end result.

  8. Oh I love this look! Super cute! I've been using that wax pencil for ages and I seriously can't live without it! I used to dip a dotting tool in top coat but the pencil is so much easier.

  9. Wow this looks amazing, I love how you chose to wear these studs, they fit perfectly into this manicure! I usually use tweezers (not always the best method) or a dotting tool for studs but the wax picker looks so much easier! xx

  10. Such a great mani ! I've been using wax pencils for quite a while now and I still remember the times when I struggled with my tweezers :D

  11. Oh, I could never get used to using tweezers - I'd always somehow manage to dent my nails with the tip of it haha

  12. It certainly helps loads, Deborah, you'll like it :) (same goes for the triangle palette - no more picking up non-used decorations with your finger ;))

  13. Thank you so much, luv! Yes, tweezers were never a thing for me - I'd dent my nails all the time :/
    Give this one a try: you won't regret it ;)
