Born Pretty Store 230pc Round Duochrome Rhinestones

On the blog today I have a review of another nail art product from Born Pretty Store, the ultimate one stop shop for nail art essentials. They provide free international shipping and really competitive prices for the assortment of products they sell.

I received the 230Pcs/Box Newly Round Rhinestone Flat Back Acrylic UV Gel Nail Art Decoration Hot Selling Wheel (item ID #16674) to review. The product came in a convenient nail art wheel and consisted of 4 different sizes of gorgeous round duochrome rhinestones varying from 2-4mm in size. The rhinestones are regularly priced at $3.41USD but is currently on sale for $2.90USD.

The nail art wheel kept all the different size rhinestones organized and made it very easy to pick up the size of rhinestones I wanted to work with. My usual method is to shake out a couple rhinestones and have them lie facing up to make it easier and more efficient to pick them up/place them on the nail. I do a thick layer of polish and when the polish is still wet or gooey I push the rhinestones in place. Personally I find topcoats dull the shine and sometimes causes bubbles about the rhinestone. However, that could just be the brand I use which cases this issue.
