Nail Polish Holder from Born Pretty Store

Today I'll be showing you something I found very useful... It is the nail polish holder from Born Pretty Store. They have kindly sent me this along with some other things for my review...

We've all been there, when our most used polish comes the end of the bottle, we all have trouble picking it up... In my case, this happens with my top coat bottle... (Since I have soo many polish and sooo many untrieds, I only see the bottoms of my fast drying top coats... LOL)

Anyway, I've seen some similar products in the blogesphere, and honestly I tried to make my own invention, a square piece of sponge with a slit on it... Well, it did not work out, because the sponge was not strong enough to hold the polish bottle... So this little gadget came to rescue... :)

I was sent a pink one, which I really liked. I don't know if there are other colors but I guess pink will do for everone... :)

Basicly, it is a soft piece of plastic that is strong enough to hold the bottle but yet soft enough to take the shape of the bottle you put in it.

The slit on the front is (in my opinion) to make your bottle tilt a little more...

Here, I've tried the nail polish holder with various polish bottles, to see if they all fit...

OPI Bottles

Flormar

Zoya

Rimmel Salon Pro

Avon (for a rectangle bottle)

LA Girls

Essie

So far so good... And it holds my Seche Vite and Poshe bottles perfectly also. You cannot see any pictures because I forgot to take them.... :) :)


The only bottle that did not fit was the Golden Rose Paris bottles. Other Golden Roses, jolly jewel or textures had no problem fitting. But this fat triangle bottle did not fit at all...

Here's another use of this nail polish holder that I invented!!!!

I've been trying to make stamping decals lately and I was in need of a place to hold my stamper while it was drying...

Ta da!!!!

Here's your stamper holder!!! :)

Overall, I'm highly satisfied with this simple yet useful product... And for $2,46, you cannot go wrong...

Flormar Passionate Dots - Part 3

Hello!!! Today I'll be showing the last one of the Flormar Passionate Dots Collection... The PD05...

Blame me if you like, I saved the best for last... You know how much I like purple, and this purple was no exception...

I used two coats again and it looked like a regular gritty textured purple untill I went outside to take pictures...

Wow, it had showed some shimmer in the bottle but I did not expect this... Still, not as glittery as other brands, but it has a subtle shine of its own...

I know they are not even close, but I just wanted to compare it to Zoya Carter...

Totally a keeper, what do you think???

Flormar Passionate Dots - Part 2

Hi there!!!! I'm back with more photos of Flormar Passionate Dots, aka the textures... :)

Today we have the black, PD06 first. Actually, it was the first one of the bunch I had tried. It has a better formula than the others, not so runny, I mean... But it is a little on the sheer side, one coat is not enough but 2 coats is all it takes for full opacity...

I did not have black texture like this in my collection, so I liked it a lot... :)

And here is PD03, although it may look blue in the pictures, it is a teal... Much to my surprise, it was the most pigmented one among its sisters... :) Totally a one coater. But I used two coats for the texture to appear more...

Tomorrow, I'll be showing you the last one of these beauties, so stay on line... :)

Flormar Passionate Dots - Part 1

OK, so I was getting a little worried about Flormar... It has been over a month and they still haven't released a new collection... LOL

Thank God they proved me wrong and came with my favorite polish line ever... Textures!!!!

They are called Passionate Dots... When I first read about them, I thought they were some kind of glitter. But seeing them at the store, I realised they were textures... There were 6 of them but I bought only 5. I skipped the orange one, 'cause you know, I'm not that fond of orange... :)

Anyway, here are they... Togehter...

From left to right, they are PD02, PD03, PD04, PD05 and PD06...

I MAY have taken a lot of photos during the swatching project, so I'll split this post into 3 parts...

Here are today's beauties....

This is PD04, an electric blue... You are seeing two coats here. It has a runny formula and two coats is needed for full opacity. It dries to a gritty finish, but not totally disturbing, infact it is less gritty than any other textured polish I own. I may say this for all the polishes in this collection.

This collection doesn't have any glitters but you may see a very fine shimmer in the bottle. Those shimmer is invisible in the shade, however when the sun hits, it gives your nails a nice shine...

PD02 is a dark red texture with that micro shimmer... It also has a runny formula, however drying time was not very long. Again I have 2 coats...

Tomorrow I'll be back with the rest of the collection... :)

Zoya Stevie

How on earth did I forget to post these pictures??? I found them in my "to post" file the other day...

This is Zoya Stevie, from the Summer Pixie Dust Collection... You know how I feel about tectures and this was no exception. If only the color was a little more pigmented...

Don't get me wrong, I love lilac, but such a plae color makes my skin look... pale... :(

Oh, anyway, I can always wear Carter if I want a dark purple... LOL
