Skulls and Flowers

Hi!

First I just want to say a big thanks to anyone who has supported by donating/sponsoring, so grateful! If you haven't already you can still do so via https://www.justgiving.com/April-Sidlow/.

Got a cute mani to show you guys today, getting ready for winter in the UK, so I've done some wintry flowers paired with silver skulls/stripes, to get the feeling of chillllls.

All polishes used were from ciate.

Hope you like what I did with these, stay tuned for more born pretty reviews and a GIVEAWAY!

Thanks

Tanzania inspired nails!

Hi there!

First I would like to say thanks to sooo many of you who bought nails from me -I really appreciate it! I will let you guys know when I bring out a new collection.

I thought I'd share with you guys what I've been up to. I've been so busy fundraising for Ralaigh (a charity who I am going to Tanzania to volunteer with in February). I am doing loads of stuff but the main thing is cutting my hair off and giving it to the Little Princess Trust. If you would like to sponsor me I would be so so grateful for your support, as I am aiming to raise around £800!!! Here is the link:

And now for the nails! I created a quick mani inspired by the flag of Tanzania (Africa)...

All polishes are from Zoya, with exception of the glitter which is unbranded. I created the stripes using tape.

Thanks again for reading, means the world!!!

Born Pretty Store Review #4

Hey!

Here's my final review for Born Pretty, the second stamping plate.

The designs on this plate are all so lovely, but I chose to use the flower pattern on the bottom left here to create a mani. Here's what I came up with;

All colours used are from Barry M, and I added a stud -also from Born Pretty.

As you can see the design didn't transfer perfectly, after multiple tries! This is unusual for Born Pretty Plates, and a shame as the design is so pretty.

However I still like the overall effect of this and it was much quicker than painting would be.

What do you think?

Look out for the return of ciate reviews! And I have a few announcements in the next few days!

Thanks for reading and the continued support!

Born Pretty Store Review #1

Hey!

Here's my first review for the Born Pretty Store as promised. First up is a stamper set and one of two stamping plates.

The stamper is quite spongey, but surprisingly not sticky, unlike many I have come across, which is a massive benefit.

I looove the designs on this plate. I chose to use the skull pattern, and found that it transferred pretty well on to the stamper, and then back on to the nail.

Here's the mani that I came up with;

Overall I think this stamper set is one of the best out there, and I am a fan of the whole idea of stamping. It is a quick alternative to hand painting, whether you need a quick mani or you just aren't very confident with free-hand painting. It takes practice however, as it can easily go wrong, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy!

What do you think?

 More stamping plate reviews and other product from Born Pretty on the way!
