New Wave Nail Art

Last week was nail week on the blog, and it is spilling into this week with a review of a couple of items I received from Born Pretty.  The first product I tried were awesome nail stickers in a simple black and white pattern (found here).  The second item was something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: nail decoration, which I found in a wheel of multiple acrylic black shapes (here).

First, I applied the nail stickers according to the instructions, which was really easy and took me about 30 minutes to apply.  Then I added a top coat for longer wear.  Because my nails are short, I added the acrylic shapes onto the areas of the nail where there was more white space.  The result is something completely “New Wave” looking, straight out of the 80’s.  I’m sure I had a shirt in a similar pattern at some point in my teen years!

My niece, Mei-Lin, joined in on the fun by creating a cute little “Hello Kitty” looking character on each thumb, to which I added a bow and eyes and she added the little smile.  She then wanted a heart shape on one of the nails on each hand.  Simple yet adorable, no?

Total cost for my nails: $6.18!  Additionally, the acrylic nail decoration comes with 12 different shapes and about 25 (or more) pieces per shape, which will allow me to keep creating new and fun nail designs.  For the price and value, I’ll definitely be going back to Born Pretty for my nail decorating needs!
