Elegant Mandala manicure in shimmer blue (plus Product review: Born Pretty Chameleon gel pigment polish)

Good day! I am back with another review post, this time it is for a gel polish! I have only just started using gel polishes recently, so I am still a beginner! I have acquired a LED curing lamp so that I can use more gel polishes in my designs. I used to use this 1 finger USB connected LED mini lamp, although it does work, but it does take a lot longer to complete my manicure. Layered stamping…

Nail art clean-up brush (Product review: Born Pretty)

Hi there, I am sharing another product review post with you today, this is not about stampers, stamping plates or decals.

What is a clean-up brush? A clean-up brush comes in many shapes and sizes, mostly…

Instagram nail art challenge – When colours collide! “BLUE”

# PR Sample # Hello there! I’m back from a week’s vacation, it was really fun and also exhausting. I managed to wear a single polish for over 11 days, which I have not done so before!
