Happy Independence Day!

What do you do when you can't decide between

gradient, stamped, or glitter nails for your holiday manicure?

You choose all three!

 I started with Wet n Wild's French White Creme,

applied a single coat of Dollish Polish It's A Me, Mario!

And then sponged  Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue & All Fired Up on

my tips, alternating the colors on each nail.

Lastly, using Konad plate M3, I stamped silver stars along the

side of each gradient, using Barry M. Instant Nail Effects in Silver Foil

It's raining tons over here on the Eat Coast today,

so who knows if I'll make that BBQ, but at least

my nails look good! 

Happy July 4th all you fellow Americans!

Born Pretty Store

By now, I'm sure you've seen a million & one other

blog posts about Born Pretty.

I'm not one for accepting products for review, 

but I agreed to this one because I am a longtime shopper

of Born Pretty. 

I normally buy through their E-bay shop,

but I've bought from their direct site as well.

They have a good selection of various nail art supplies,

and some of the cheapest prices available online.

I don't know how they do it, but frankly,

I don't care, as long as they keep doing it!!

I think one of the most popular items from Born Pretty

is their faux Konad plates. 

I've got several, including the elusive 

Hello Kitty plate.

Their plates are just as good as other brands, 

for a third of the price.

How can you beat that?

Here is my weekend many using plates

&

Ignoring the fact that my current black polish sucks 

for stamping, this mani is pretty darn cute, if I do say so myself!
Some of my favorite and most flawless

plates are from Born Pretty.

In case you are one of the few who hasn't heard of them before,

I highly recommend you check them out.

They never disappoint!
