Born Pretty Holographic Polish Review.

Today I have another product from Born Pretty to review for you, this time it's a silver holographic polish.

There are a bunch of fun color options available, but since a good silver holo was missing from my collection I chose the polish in effect #1. 

The polish bottle is pretty small, it holds 0.2 oz of polish. I found that the brush worked nicely. 


The polish is very sheer, but it is buildable. I was able to get it opaque (in the picture below) but I lost count of how many coats it took. I didn't let this dry, but I imagine it would be quite the time commitment because of how thick it ended up being.


The better option (pictured below) is to do a coat of a silver polish (I used Sally Hansen Silver Sweep) and then a few coats of the holo polish. It's much quicker and ends up looking just as nice.



I don't know a ton about holographic polishes but I thought the holo effect was pretty strong. It looks very pretty in the light. Holos tend to look the best in the sunlight but it was still quite fun to look at inside.


Overall I'm happy to have this polish added to my collection, a bit of holographic polish is an easy way to dress up a manicure!

The polishes are available for $5.59 each and you can get an additional 10% off using my coupon code.

Born Pretty BK Candy Color Polish Review.

I received a few products to review from BornPrettyStore.com just after Christmas, and the first one I'm going to be reviewing is a fluorescent nail polish from the brand BK.

I've reviewed a bunch of different nail art related products from BPS before, but this was my first time trying out one of the polishes they sell. 



This is a very pretty color, I applied four thin coats for it to be opaque.

When I received this polish in the mail I had already forgotten that it was supposed to glow in the dark, so when I randomly chose to wear it for New Year's Eve, it was a fun surprise! Despite my best efforts I couldn't get a good photo of the polish in action, glowing in the dark. But I was pleasantly surprised with how bright and cool it looks.

And the polish still looks great in the light. I think it'll be perfect for the summer.


The color I have is 06, and each of the BK polishes sells for $2.99. You can get 10% off anything from BPS using the coupon code BRJ61.
