Dots And Bows Manicure

So a few posts before I received dotting tools to review and I promised I would post a manicure using them. So here goes, I couldn't come up with a name for it so Dots and Bows manicure is what I'm going to call it.

I used three coats of China Glaze Groovy Green. Groovy green is like a light milky-creamy green. For the dots I used Rimmel London Black Out but any black nail polish will do. The reason I used Rimmel London was because it was a 60 second polish so it dried fairly quickly. This helped so it doesn't smudge when I use a thick topcoat. Then for top coat I used Jordana Quick Shine Topcoat. the quick shine topcoat by Jordana is amazing and I mean amazing. Everytime I use this topcoat my manicure lasts for 2-3 weeks sometimes even longer. It's such a good topcoat and plus it's also 60 second topcoat so before you know it, it's dry. My favourite topcoat. I also added a black bow Fimo cane slice

There was no clean up for this manicure. It was a simple manicure and everyone loved this. I got so many compliments especially from my friends.

I then sliced two pieces of Fimo cane in a black bow design and attached it to my ring fingers, kinda like an accent finger. It just adds an extra touch to my design.

Here is a close up. For a weird reason the camera wasn't focusing up close but I posted the picture anyways just so you get a idea of how it looked.

Here is a picture of the nail art with all the supplies I used in the background. As you can see my topcoat is nearly finished. I rarely use this topcoat as I don't want to finish it but I wanted this manicure to last for a long time so I used it.

Hope you guys enjoyed!!!

Born Pretty Store Magnetic Polish + Dotting Tool

The Born Pretty Store sent me two things to review, Magnetic nail polish and dotting tools. I was really excited for the Magnetic polish since I have never tried it and was waiting for ages to try.


The magnetic nail polish comes with a magnetic plate all for only $6.38. I have seen other brands with their plates and I was happy to see that this brand had handles to hold from. The nail polish I got to review was CH Nail Magnetic Nail polish NO.14, The NO.14 is a metallic blue with purple and blue shimmer particles however the purple is hardly noticeable and definitely not noticeable on your fingers. Overall the nail polish worked amazingly and the magnetic plate was fairly strong. Let me warn you the photos don't do justice to what it really looks like. It looks much better in person than in photo.


Below is the swatch for the nail polish.


This is what the polish looks like in the sun or outside. It is a gorgeous blue and I was very happy with the quality. The nail polish dried fairly quickly in fact after having the magnet plate over your nails for about 10-15 sec they were almost dry.


This is basically what the polish would look like if you're indoors, the colour is more of a navy blue this way. Both in the sun and indoors the colour looks amazing.

Steps to achieve this look:
1. Paint a thin layer of polish on your nails and allow to dry
2. Paint a thick layer of polish and quickly hold the magnetic plate over your nail for 10-15 seconds. The closer the magnetic plate the better the effect
3. Apply top coat to keep it lasting for a while.

The magnetic polish dries very quickly and the quality of the polish was amazing. The nail polish was very pigmented and the colour was awesome. The best thing is you can even use it as regular nail polish without the magnetic. The amazing price is only $6.38. The formula of the polish was great and applied easily. The only downside is you may not get perfect stripes across your nail every time so it's kinda trial and error however once you get used to it, it will be easy


The Dotting Tools worked great and definitely felt of good quality. It didn't feel cheap and felt like quality nail art equipment. The dotting tool set comes with five dotting tools, each double sided and with different size tips to make different size dots. The dotting tool was very easy to use and doesn't require any practice. I will be posting pictures of nail art using the dotting tool pretty soon so stay tuned.
