Review: Born Pretty Store - Nail Vinyls K006*

Review-Born-Pretty-Store-BornPrettyStore-BPS-Nail-Vinyl-Vinyls-Stickers

This pack of nail vinyl's contain 10 stickers. These particular ones have a snake skin pattern and a mosaic design on. Born Pretty Store also sell various other vinyl patterns.

They are thin and very flexible, but strong enough to hold there own when removing. The stickiness is strong enough to keep the sticker attached to the nail.

To use these I painted my nails and left them to dry over night, usually I would just use a fast dry top coat to seal down the polish but with the vinyl's being so sticky I didn't want to pull off the polish underneath.

I stuck the vinyl down over the polish;

I sponged on a gradient of blue polishes;

Then pulled off the sticker;

And finally cleaned up the mess around my finger;

For the next nails I painted over the sticker and then simply removed the sticker while the polish was wet, leaving behind the design;
