Born pretty store review + my new year's eve mani

Hello everyone. First of all, thank you for being around this year, for all the views and appreciation I got from you. 2013 was my first year in the nail art world, I barely started this in march as a complete noob and I came so far already. Also thank you www.bornprettystore.com for all the support. Without it I couldn't have come so far.

It's my birthday in 4 days so I take this manicure as a a self glitzy birthday present as well as a stylish way to start 2014 tomorrow.

Here's the product I used to create this manicure. http://www.bornprettystore.com/5pcs-colorful-water-drop-cabochon-oval-precious-stone-nail-sticker-p-5601.html

I used nr3, the yellow oval ones. They come in packs of 5. After I got to use them for this design here's a list of pros and cons for them:

Pros

• 7 styles and colors to use from
• affordable, right now they're 99 cents
• they imitate a semi precious stone perfectly
• the flatback has perfect adherence to the surface of the nail, even over shinny polish
• topcoat is just fine to stick it on, i didn't have to use any glue for it
• each cabochon is slightly different in tone and details
• you can do a LOT of things with these. You can use your imagination and turn them into jewels like I prefered to do for this design

Cons:

• there's a little transparency to them and they will show a little from base color under them. That's the reason why my stones appear darker , because the color under them is black.
• if you put topcoat over them they might become unusable, as they are not made out of metal or, of course, real stone. If you try a design like mine, go around it with topcoat to seal the beads and rhinestones.

Here's the polish and material list and links for everything used for this design:

• LA colors (color craze)- circuits
• LA colors (color craze)- cactus
• Sally hansen complete salon manicure- golden rule
• Topcoat
• gold steel beads
• teardrop shaped black rhinestones 1.5mm (if you follow the link, they're nr 1 on the list)
• round clear rhinestones 2mm
• round yellow cabochons

This design is also my entry for the born pretty store new year contest. If there's a voting phase I will let you know. Thank you for all the support.
