Born Pretty Gold Bow Review!

Hello readers! I have another Born Pretty item to share with you today. This time, I've tried out a pack of new foil metal gold bow nail accents. I also recently swapped for Whimsical Ideas By Pam Peanut Butter and Jelly and this was my first time trying it out. I thought it would go cute with a gold bow accent because of the gold glitters in it. I love the polish so much! It applied very easily and the name and color combo are adorable!

I used a piece of Born Pretty gold striping tape from my previous review HERE to make it look like it was part of the same gold "ribbon" in the bow.


You can see some hidden shimmer in Peanut Butter and Jelly!

This is the pack that I got. Look at how full it is! I'll never need more again.

I used:
Duri Rejuvacote
2 coats of Whimsical Ideas By Pam Peanut Butter and Jelly
1 coat of Poshe top coat

For the accent nail:
I did the striping tape before top coat. 
Then, one thick coat of top coat and added the bow so it "sank" into the wet top coat.
Follow up with another coat of Poshe to seal it in.

So, as for the bows, they are bendable so I actually bent mine a bit to lay flatter on my curved nail. They are a bit thick and would have needed a lot more top coat to smooth out if I had left them flat because of my nail shape. I'm glad I was able to mold it a bit. I'll definitely use them again, I already have a cute idea in my head for next month!

You can get these bows HERE at the Born Pretty Store among other nail art supplies and other foil nail accessories

"But We Can Have Lots Of Good Fun That Is Funny!"

Hello readers! I have a fun post for you today. I recently came across another indie nail polish maker, Whimsical Ideas By Pam, through her Facebook page. She just made a polish called "Seuss" and as soon as it was available, I couldn't wait to get my hands on a bottle! As you can probably tell from my other book art posts, I am a HUGE fan of children's books and Dr Seuss is no exception. Some of his books are in our top favorites!

I knew the colors were a perfect match for The Cat In The Hat so there was no way I could wear it without adding in something for the book. Hope you like:

Look how cute the bottle is?! I love it! That's our olddddd Cat in the Hat book from when my husband was a little kid :)

I used:
Base coat of Orly Nail Defense
3 coats of WIBP Seuss
1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast

Accent nail: 
Zoya Phoebe
OPI Alpine Snow
Wet n Wild Ink Well
Zoya Posh
Cult Nails Wicked Fast

What do you think?? This blue jelly is PACKED with different sized red, silver, and blue glitters. I did 3 coats to get rid of noticeable visible nail line(VNL). If it was layered over a similar color like Zoya Phoebe,  you could definitely get away with one or 2 coats and have enough glitter on the nail. It was a nice surprise that I wasn't digging around for the bigger glitters. Also, no need for Gelous to make this smooth. One coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast tamed any sharp glitter corners.

If you'd like to get your hands on this polish, go check out Pam's Facebook Page and email her for a polish order!
