Born Pretty Store review: Chevron striping tape - Holo denim blue & silver chevron manicure

Today I would like to present to you some really nice chevron striping tapes that I got from Born Pretty Store. These striping tapes are perfect for creating beautiful and very eye-catching nail art manicures.

1pc Chevron Nail Striping Tape Colorful Nail Art Tape Line Stickers Lines, item ID: 23383 

1roll Chevron Nail Striping Tape Laser Nail Art Tape Line Stickers Lines, item ID: 23764

Following the first link you can find colourful chevron striping tapes available in six colours: gold, silver, blue, white, black and red.

Following the second link you can find laser chevron striping tapes available in six colours: laser gold, laser silver, champagne, rose red, purple and green.

The simplest way to use these chevron striping tapes is to use them like actual stickers; just cut the pieces that you need, stick them to your nails, on your completely dried base nail polish, and seal the manicure with a layer of top coat. This allows you to create very nice chevron manicures very quickly :-)

The other way to use these chevron striping tapes is to apply the base nail polish, let it dry completely, stick the pieces of chevron striping tape, apply nail polish of another colour and then gently remove the pieces of chevron striping tape, sealing the manicure with a layer of top coat. 

I used this method for the manicure that I present to you today and it is a good alternative to stamping chevron manicures :-)

The tape adheres nicely to the nail surface and it comes off without problems and without smudging the base polish, just remember to let your base nail polish dry completely before sticking the tape on your nails :-)

I have the feeling that the tape is very long, so there will be enough of tape for sooooo many chevron manicures :-) 

I like both chevron striping tapes that I got and I can strongly recommend them :-)

Born Pretty Store review: Granite handler liner drawing brush - Black & white & nude chevron manicure

This beautiful nail art brush was kindly offered to me from Born Pretty Store for this review. You can find it on their web site with this name: Granite Handle Liner Drawing Brush Long Hair Nail Art Liner Pen Brush Tools, item ID: 18530.

As you can see, this nail art brush is that it's amazingly beautiful, I really like it's colours and how it is made, seems like it's made of marble and it really makes a strong visual impact :-) The brush is easy to hold, easy to handle and the bristles are very refined and delicate. This nail art brush is perfect for nail art painting and drawing, it can be used with nail polish and acrylic paint. I think that I will use it only with acrylic colours because the cleaning will be much easier and surely I wouldn't like to ruin it using it with nail polishes and cleaning it with acetone or similar aggressive cleansers. Fortunately, the brush has also a protective cap, so when you storage your brush you are sure that the bristle is protected :-) 

As you probably know, I love free hand nail art and it means that a good nail art brush is really a precious tool for me :-) 

I tried many nail art brushes bought in my local bookshop store and various online shops, but the nail art brushes that I use most are those from Born Pretty Store set 4 pcs Acrylic UV gel Nail Art Paint Drawing Brush Kit, you can see them in my review Born Pretty Store Review: Nail Art Brushes - Black and golden leaves on holographic peacock green. 

Lately I also tried and started using Crystal handle liner and carving nail art brush, you can see it in my review Born Pretty Store review: Crystal handle liner and carving nail art brush - SWIG hip flask inspired plaid manicure and also Transparent crystal handled nail art liner brush, you can see it in my review Born Pretty Store review: Transparent crystal handled nail art liner brush - Grey flowers :-)

Now I got the opportunity to try also the Granite handler liner drawing brush and my experience is very positive, so I think that soon I will get used to it and I'll surely use it a lot for my nail art creations :-)

I highly recommend this beautiful and very useful nail art brush, I remind you that Born Pretty Store has a free shipping worldwide, and, if you need some extra help, you are welcome to use my coupon code CYL91, to get the 10% off on all your Born Pretty Store orders! :-)
