Born Pretty Store Review: Flocking Powder

I've already seen many flocking powder manicures on other blogs and I really wanted to try it :-) This beautiful flocking powder was kindly offered to me from Born Pretty Store for this review. The colour I chose is grey and in Born Pretty Store you can find it with this name Fun Flocking Powder Manicure Nail Art Nail Polish- Grayitem ID 4480.


flocking powder
The package contains:
1 x flocking powder
1 x tweezers
1 x little brush

How to use it:
1. lay down old newspapers or plastic to protect the work area
2. mix the flocking powder with tweezers before using it
3. apply base coat on your nails, let it dry completely
4. apply nail polish of the same colour as the flocking powder, let it dry completely
5. apply nail polish again, then immediately put the flocking powder on your nail, let it dry
6. use the little brush to sweep away any excess flocking powder, which can be captured in the accompanying tray; don't discard it, pour it back into the bottle

I followed the instructions, it was very easy and fun and I am very happy with the final result. Of course, because of the 3D texture, there's no need for a top coat :-) And it is a beautiful sensation to feel this "velvet" texture on your nails, I just keep looking and touching my nails again and again :-)

And here is my flocking powder manicure:






Have you tried the flocking powder before? What do you think of it?

If you still haven't tried it, you can find this beautiful and interesting flocking powder at Born Pretty Store

  1. Io le ho provate, per gioco, qualche giorno prima di Natale, ma la flocking powder me la sono creata io grattando con la lametta un pezzo di carta vellutata. Erano divertenti ma decisamente non fanno per me, le ho "smontate" dopo un paio d'ore e non ho neanche pubblicato le foto sul blog! :D

    1. Peccato, avresti dovuto pubblicarle, è sempre interessante vedere l'alternativa "home-made" a qualcosa che dobbiamo comprare, certe volte si ottengono anche i risultati migliori! :-) Ti devo dire che per me è stata una bella sensazione avere queste unghie di velluto :-)

    2. Non tentarmi potrei pubblicarle spacciandole da unghie carnevalesche travestite da unghie natalizie! :D

  8. When I've read a title of this post I thought that it would be a blue colored powder, but anyway grey looks cool too! :)

    1. I really had problems choosing only one colour... :-) Then I chose grey because I think it can be used more easily and in more ways! :-) And, of course, because I like grey too! :-)

  10. OMG, NORO LEPOOO!!! =)) Te "kosmate" nohtke sem videla že na večih blogih, ampak nikjer mi niso bili tako všeč, kot so mi tvoji!!! Mogoče zato, ker so tvoji tako lepi svetli in ne živih barv. Kako dolgo pa je ta manikura zdržala? A se z nohtov lupijo kosmati koščki ali je bilo do odstranjevanja vse v redu?

    1. Mateja, stvarno nisam znala koju boju da odaberem, imaju puno lepih boja... Na kraju sam uzela ovu sivu jer mi se cinila jedna od "mirnijih" boja koje bih mogla vise koristiti, a i zato sto volim sivu boju... :-) Manikir je bio na mojim noktima jedan dan, kao i svi ostali manikiri, tako da ne mogu da ti dam tacnu informaciju koliko bi izdrzao da je jos ostao na noktima... Mogao bi imati neke sanse da izdrzi 2-3 dana, ali samo ako peres sudove sa plasticnim rukavicama i ako imas neki posao gde ti se ne prljaju mnogo ruke, jer ovaj "cupavi" manikir ne voli bas mnogo vodu... :-)

    2. Uf, potem pa to ne bi bilo zame, imam občutek, da si 100x na dan umijem roke. ;) Izgleda pa res lepo, kapo dol, super si tole naredila. :))

    3. Mislim da bi ovakav "cupavi" manikir morala bar jednom da probas, osecaj je cudesan i stalno ides da dodirujes nokte...! :-) Eto mozda napravis ovo za neku specijalnu priliku, na primer pre nego sto odes na neko rodjendansko slavlje, pa da ti traje bar jedno vece...! :-)

    1. You must try it! :-) It didn't last long, but while I had it on my nails I had that strong wish to touch my nails over and over again... :-)
