Hot Pink Studs

Hey guys! Long time no blog right? I'm sorry, my life in Japan has just been so hectic, and unfortunately I don't think it's going to calm down so my blog posts will probably be pretty spaced out. I barely even have time to paint my nails these days, and because the weather has just turned cold my nails are becoming brittle and snapping :(

Today I have the second half of my Born Pretty Store review for you. Once again, I'm so sorry that it took so long to get this up. In addition to the Little Twin Star decals that Born Pretty sent me, I also received some hot pink studs and container to hold all my little nail art bits and pieces. The container is pretty tiny, measuring 13cm x 5cm x 1cm, but despite the tiny compartments it holds A LOT as you can see from my photos, and it has been super handy on this trip to Japan since I had to pack relatively lightly while still fitting my whole life into a suitcase.



The hot pink studs...well considering I love studs and I love pink, I was super happy to get these to try. These studs have a bit more height to them than some of the other studs I own (the curve of the dome is rather pronounced), so if you're one of those people who don't like bumpy nails then these might not be for you. Despite their extra height though they stayed put just as well as my other studs and I had these on for 4 days before any of them fell off. If you're unsure how to apply studs, I wrote a tutorial for Lacquerheads of Oz that you can see here. The polish I've used in the photos below is OPI 'I Don't Give A Rotterdam!'





The container can be found on the Born Pretty website here, and the studs here. Born Pretty ship worldwide, and shipping is free. They've also given me a code that will get you guys 10% off all your orders, HAIRG10.
