BornPretty review: Magic Cat Magnetic Gel 03

Today I present you a new product that I got from BornPretty for my honest review :-)

It is Magic Cat Magnetic Gel 03 and you can find it on BornPretty website with this name: Magic Cat Magnetic Gel 10ml, 03.

This UV gel comes in a 10ml bottle, it is made of healthy, non poisonous, environmental friendly materials, it is quick-drying with UV light and it's very easy to use :-)

There are 6 different shades in Magic Cat Magnetic Series, take a look at them and you will surely find at least 3-4 shades that you like! :-)

When you want to create a new UV gel manicure with this beautiful magnetic effect, after applying UV gel base coat and curing it for 2 minutes in UV lamp, apply a layer of magnetic gel, put the magnet close to the nail for a few seconds until you get the effect that you desire and then immediately cure it for 2 minutes in UV lamp; repeat with the second layer in the same way; at the end apply a layer of UV gel top coat and cure it for 2 minutes in UV lamp.

Using this magnetic gel with various types of magnets will give your manicure completely different and beautiful final outcome! :-)

I didn't have problems working with Magic Cat Magnetic Gel 03, the application was smooth and easy! :-) For my review I applied three thin layers and I used the magnet in different positions to create this "X" effect :-)

As base and top UV gel polish I used BP UV gel base coat polish and BP UV gel top coat polish. Every layer of UV gel polish and UV base/top coat is cured 2 minutes in 36W UV lamp.

So, here it is, Magic Cat Magnetic Gel 03! :-)

I hope you like it as much as I do!! :-)

BornPretty review: Rubber base gel RB17

Today I present you a new product that I got from BornPretty for my honest review :-)

It is Rubber Base Gel RBG17 and you can find it on BornPretty website with this name: Rubber Base Gel 15ml, RBG17.

This UV gel comes in a 15 ml bottle, it is made of healthy, non poisonous, environmental friendly materials, it is quick-drying with UV light or LED light and it's very easy to use :-)

There are 8 different shades in Rubber Base Gel Series, take a look at them, they are all very pretty! :-)

I chose RBG 17, violet :-)

I didn't have problems working with Rubber Base Gel RBG17, the application was smooth and easy! :-)

This is the procedure:

1. prepare your nails and file them

2. apply a very thin layer of Rubber Base Gel and cure it under the UV lamp for 2 minutes

3. apply another abundant layer of Rubber Base Gel to "build" your nail stronger, turn your finger "upside-down" for a few seconds, so the gel gets the right natural shape, and then cure it under the UV lamp for 2 minutes

4. apply one layer of UV top coat gel and cure it under the UV lamp for 2 minutes (I used BP UV gel top coat polish)

Rubber Base Gel helps you obtain a fuller and more flattering nail surface shape :-)

So, here it is, Rubber Base Gel RBG17! :-)

I hope you like it as much as I do!! :-)

BornPretty review: Non Stick Hand Extension Nail Gel NSG11

Today I present you BornPretty Non Stick Hand Extension Nail Gel NSG11 that was kindly sent to me from BornPretty for this review :-)

You can find it on BornPretty website with this name: Non Stick Hand Extension Nail Gel 15ml, NSG11.

This time my choice is NSG11, it's milky white with tiny silver glitters, but there are 27 different colours of Non Stick Hand Extension Nail Gel, some of them are nude, some of them are glittery, some of them have a luminous or aurora effect, so you have a lot of choice :-)

If you would like to see my review of Non Stick Hand Extension Nail Gel NSG01, you can follow this link: BornPretty review: Non Stick Hand Extension Nail Gel NSG01 :-)

Non Stick Hand Extension Nail Gel comes in a 15ml plastic jar, it contains a large amount of gel, it is soft but not sticky, it is elastic and multifunctional.

It can be used for different purposes: it's perfect for carving 3D nail art decorations, it can be mixed with glitter particles, it can be used as rhinestone glue gel and it can be used for nail extensions which is what I did today :-)

This is the procedure to follow if you would like to obtain the result that you can see on my photos bellow:
1. clean your nails and file the surface of your nails to remove the surface layer
2. apply UV gel base coat polish (I used BP UV gel base coat polish) and cure it 2 minutes in 36W UV lamp
3. choose the right dimension of nail tips mould
4. take a small amount of Non Stick Hand Extension Nail Gel and apply it on the nail tips mould, pressing with your finger until it extends evenly

5. put the nail tips mould with gel on your nail, make sure that it's attached nicely

6. cure it 2 minutes in 36W UV lamp
7. remove the nail tips mould

8. shape your nail using your nail file to get the lenght and the shape you want

9. at this point you could proceed and create some interesting manicure on your extended nails, using normal nail polish or UV gel polish... :-)

On my photos, you can see the results that I obtained using Non Stick Hand Extension Nail Gel NSG11 to extend my nails.

As you can see, it is not a very "drastic" or strange-shape extension :-) I don't like very long and strange-shaped nails, but I wanted my nails to be a little bit longer than my normal natural nails, because it helps me also to present some new BornPretty products that I got in the best way possible :-)

I also wanted to avoid the "fake" effect of my nails, I wanted them to look like my natural nails as much as I could :-)

I like the result :-)
What do you think about it? :-)
