When I saw that
Born Pretty Store had new
neon studs I knew I had to try them. I've had good experiences with all of the studs from BPS that I've tried in the past, but this was my first experience with a colored stud. And they're so much fun! They have 11 different color options, the ones I chose were the bright blue (#7) and light lime green (#9.) I also think the neon yellow (#1) is super cool and could make for some awesome summer manicures. (It was sold out when I chose which colors I wanted, but it's in stock now!)
The studs come in little bags and there are 200 studs in each, plenty to create lots of different designs.
When it came time to put the studs to use, I chose a bright base color (China Glaze Rich & Famous) and went for a random design. As far as application and wear and everything else, these worked just as nicely as any of the other studs I've reviewed in the past.
The only real difference are the colors, which are of course awesome. On the nail I think they give off a kind of candy-esque vibe. You could get more of the colors and do a
candy buttons manicure!
The typical metal finish studs create more of a grunge-y look, whereas these are more youthful and fun.
After testing the studs out for this design, I'm sure I'll continue to use them in the summer and spring.
