Born Pretty Store BP thermal polish #5

In my last sample package that I got from Born Pretty Store I got also six Born Pretty thermal polishes. During last weeks I tried all of them, I used them as base for my free hand nail art creations and my stamping manicures and slowly slowly I'm going to present all of them to you :-)

Today I present you BP thermal polish #5. You can find it on Born Pretty Store website with this name: 1 Bottle 6ml BornPretty 3 Colors Thermal Nail Polish Temperature Color Changing Polish #5, item ID: 25176.

BP thermal polish #5 changes from military green in cold state to light yellow in warm state and it has a really nice colour shift. In some of my photos you can notice that there is also the third shade visible, so it seems to me that with this nail polish you instantly get a really nice gradient on your nails!

This thermal nail polish comes in a 6ml bottles and this is the only "negative" thing that I can write about it, because once you try it you wish to have it in full dimension nail polish bottle! :-)

This thermal polish is extremely well made, it has the right consistency that allows you an easy and smooth application. The colours are bright and the nail polish is well pigmented, I needed two layers for a full opacity.
It also has a perfectly normal nail polish smell and the drying time is quick :-)

As I already wrote more than once, I'm sorry that my nails are not so long, so often I can't get the typical "gradient" effect that you usually get using thermal nail polishes. 
The other problem is my personal problem with micro-circulation, so my fingers are (almost) always cold and these thermal nail polishes don't have many possibilities to warm up much :-) So, I had to experiment a little bit and for my thermal polishes swatches, I used the hair-drier to get the change of colour :-) 

I like all of these BP thermal polishes, this one is one of my favourites and I can strongly recommend it :-)

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 :-)
