Review: BornPrettyStore - Black Iridescent Rhinestone Wheel*

These are listed on the Born Pretty Store as "230Pcs/Box Newly Round Rhinestone Flat Back Acrylic UV Gel Nail Art Decoration Hot Selling Wheel". The wheel contains four different sized black iridescent rhinestones. The rhinestones are separated by size, 4mm, 3.5mm and 2mm.

The rhinestones themselves are black but they have a iridescent coating which makes them have an oil on water look to them, which is quite different. I haven't seen any like this before, usually rhinestones come in plain different colours.

I found using these studs even over a black base looked great.

For these nails I used a couple of different sized rhinestones over a black base;

These nails were done using three of the medium size rhinestones and two larger ones as a little bit of an accent;

I wanted to try them over a lighter colour base, as a dotticure accent nail;

The different size rhinestones mean you can create different looks.

Swatch: Claire's Iridescent

I couldn't find anywhere which gave this polish a name or a number which is quite annoying. 
So I have named it Iridescent!


This is two coats of iridescent on top of one coat of ELF's Black polish. As you would expect this polish is a pain to photograph but to the eye it is really beautiful. The reason I chose a slightly blurry photo is so you can see the effect it gives, looks a little like the night sky here.
