Today I have two things to share with you: one - my half moon mani for the 31 Day Challenge and two my review of the 3 Star/Round/Heart Rhinestones Acrylic UV Nail Glue Clamp Kit I got from the Born Pretty Store! I'm actually doing both in one to be honest. I got an email from Daisy at the Born Pretty Store asking me to review my choice of products - which I was pretty stoked about. This may seem like an easy task, but really, it was extremely difficult - they have SOOOO much stuff, the choices were endless! It took me a while to figure out what I wanted and I gave Daisy some choices of what she wanted me to review and she sent the rhinestones set.
I honestly thought there were going to be a few rhinestones a cheap tool to pick them up and some glue - boy was I wrong. You get a ton of rhinestones and the choice of colors is fab! And I didn't realize there were different shapes - circles, stars and hearts - how cool! Also, the tool they include is heavy duty and two bottles of glue - perf ma gerf! Now for the deets: for a set of three packages of multi-colored rhinestones (in a really cool holder by the way), one set of circles, one of stars and one of hearts, with a picker upper tool (I have no idea what the real name is) and two bottles of glue, it costs $8.58 - that's a pretty sweet deal if you ask me. I'm having some issues with the site, but I think that is in USD and the shipping is free - well it was when I ordered stuff from them I purchased myself - before I was contacted to review something by the way (and I used my personal account, not my nearlynailed account). I got the package within a week, which is pretty quick considering the product is coming from China. And, it was the same time frame when I ordered the stuff I paid for - that's pretty good if you ask me!
