Hello lovelies,Hope you'll all well! Today I'd like to show you an experiment but it is also a review. Every time I went to a hobby/craft shop I've been checking out scrap booking stickers but never really purchased them because they seemed a bit big for nails. But I've always wanted to try them mind and had that nagging feeling somewhere in the back of my mind. So when I was approached by Born Pretty Store if I'd like to try and review their stickers, I was very pleased to say yes!
I have combined two ways of using the stickers - the first one is to stick the stickers on top of the painted nail and the second one sponging silver nail polish over the sticker and then removing it.
I have used Clinique Party Red as a base colour, A England Camelot for the sponged accent nail and Born Pretty Store Embossed Texture stickers.
Don't forget that you can use 10% off discount code LHJ61 for any purchase.
At first glance this seems like a great idea. the stickers look pretty, they are small enough to go on the nail BUT they just don't adhere properly at the edges. I just couldn't make them stick and the ends kept peeling off. I've tried wet polish, nail glue, polishing over it, nothing has worked :( The stickers are too thick for curved nails and they don't keep the shape when bended. I guess I'll have to use them just for decorating photo album. I'm disappointed to say that I can't recommend this product for use on nails.
EDIT: Apparently the stickers work better with UV gel nails so if you're wearing those you might find these stickers will work or you.

ReplyDeleteJust read the final paragraph before you purchase to avoid any surprises ;)
DeleteI love combo of red and silver! :-)
ReplyDeletei love nail-polish <3 :)
ReplyDeleteI really love the effect but it's a shame they don't stick too well because they look great!
ReplyDeleteyeah I know :( I was so excited to try them and it was a disappointment :(
DeleteThese are fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWow this effect is so cool! <3
ReplyDeleteI have that problem with stickers on my nails as well. I find they lift really quickly which is a shame because there are so many pretty stickers out there!
ReplyDeleteyeah, it's a shame :( also striping tape tends to lift up :(
DeleteOh! I've never tried these types of stickers before. They look super fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteLook gorgeous, sad to hear they don't stick well, cause I ordered them 4 days ago, so they are on their way to me, as we type. :(
ReplyDeleteOh well, guess my photo albums are going to get re-vamped then
Oh no, only if I would post this review sooner! Well you could use a UV gel topcoat if you're using one otherwise the photo albums :-/
DeleteThank you for the review, im plotting an order from them and i wasnt sure about these. Now i know.
ReplyDeleteTo bad with the sticking part because otherwise it looked great!
ReplyDeleteToo bad they don't stick properly, cause they're very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have these too and found the same problem--my nails are really small and have a high arch. I bet some people will have more luck with them though; people with wider flatter nails will likely enjoy them! Also, maybe on the big toe for a pedi--I'm trying that next with em.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of using it for a stencil too :) make do with what you can eh? x
I grabbed a pack last time I was in Hobbycraft but have yet to use them. Maybe I'll just pass them over to my nan for her card making...
