Barbie Princess Nails

Hi gang!
today I have a mani that is a little bit out of my comfort zone. I like cute girly stuff but I usually try to keep it simple. Not today!

I call these my Barbie Princess nails :)
I didn't want to go too much over the top so I "toned it down" by making the rest a glittery french tip.



Gosh in Wild Lilac
SinfulColors in Pink Forever
Essence in Space Queen
Pearly hearts from the Born Pretty Store
1mm Rhinestones from Ebay

Here is a picture of the little kit from the Born Pretty Store that the pearly hearts came in. As you can see, it also has a little bow decal and some larger round pearls. 



These ended up being a little bigger than I anticipated. I knew the shapes would stick off a bit but I wasn't expecting the little heart and round pearls to be quite so large. I ended up having to add some extra topcoat under my white heart to give it a more stable base. Maybe it's because I have very curved nails. Perhaps someone with a flatter nail would not have any issues with this.
Regardless, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they stayed on! I used Seche Vite to stick them on and they lasted through 2 bedtimes and a shower before one finally snapped off (after running my hands through my hair...) I didn't think they would make it more than 12 hours so that was pretty nice!

If you want to get yourself one of these little kits, you can find them at the Born Pretty Store for under $5 with free shipping! Just click the picture to be taken directly to the product page.
As always, you can use my coupon code to get 10% off your order :)



Have you ever received an online order, only to be surprised by what the item *actually* looks like?

Until next time ^_^

Thanks Katrina!

That heart looks huge--very surprising they'd put that in a nail art kit.

It is pretty big, Karen. I think this kit would be more useful for someone who wanted to DIY their phone case or something. On nails, though, it definitely makes a statement!
