Glowing Violet Nails + Review

Here is another nail design for you with some AMAZING Glow in the Dark Neon polishes and cute rhinestones that Born Pretty gifted me. I'll have a blog post about the items coming soon.

I created a manicure that is great for short nails and still has some sparkle and attention! The embellishments are a good size so they don't make a short nail look too stubby and let the nail polish shine through the design, literally in the case of this luminescent polish!

I got these amazing Glow in the Dark Polishes and rhinestones from Born Pretty Store and if you desire the fun colourful look, click here and use the coupon code MIHW10 at checkout for 10% discount off your whole order.

I have bought many items from Born Pretty before and also have received free items to review/use on my blog. All the opinions given are without pressure from the company and are my own.

Feel free to click on the photos below for better quality and more accurate colour. And the tutorial and product list are at the end of this post.

Enjoy!

I usually use a white base coat under neon polishes to enhance their pigmentation and save polish so opacity is reached with fewer coats. For this manicure I didn't, because I wanted the purple to be a more pastel neon lilac this time. I love the way it came out, it's bright but soft at the same time.

I can't believe how fantastic these glow in the dark nail polishes are and how bright they shine after you "charge" them up by holding your nails close to a light source. I really love the bright colours of these lacquers in natural light but when the lights go out they really fascinate! It makes it hard to get to sleep at night cause I'm always staring at my tips!

All these photos were taken by holding my nails up to a light then turning all the lights off and quickly taking the photo.

 

Here are some macro shots taken with the ōllo clip to show the embellishments up close and personal.
