March Sweet Candy Lacquer & Moustaches: Born Pretty Store

Moustaches in February? Yes! That's what today's post is featuring! Little moustaches are so cute and have been so fashionable for the last few months that we've see them printed everywhere and made into jewellery.

Here is a little moustache ring from the Born Pretty Store. The polish I'm wearing is also from Born Pretty and is part of their newest range of polishes, March. The collection consists of 12 "sweet candy" colours and this rose blush with hints of pastel coral is #9. I drew the moustache on my middle finger with some black acrylic paint. As I'm not very good at freehand, acrylic paint gave me better control compared to black polish.

The bottle is really dainty and the little bow makes it even more cute. These polishes cost $7.29 each but the formula was good and applied smoothly in three coats. You can use my 10% discount code VA7J61 for any Born Pretty Store purchases and they also offer free shipping worldwide.

The ladies at Born Pretty also sent me a new clean up brush as my current one is quite old and tattered. However, as soon as I saw it, I knew it wouldn't work for clean up as it's way too bushy and uneven. I may be able to use it as a lip brush or an angled eyeshadow brush after a little trim.

Hunt Me If You Can...Stud

When I removed my nail polish today, ready for another mani, I really felt like wearing something edgy and dark. Luckily enough I had recently received some studs from the Born Pretty Store which were perfect for what I had in mind.

I used Essence Hunt Me If You Can from the Vampire's Love Collection and matted it with Essie Matte About You. I was really hoping the silver flecks in it would show up a lot more when matte but they didn't. I really like this polish, it's a chic black (all the more so because of the silver flecks) and I can see myself wearing it often. I added square silver and round gold studs to the accent nail, both these are from the Born Pretty Store and cost around $5 depending on what shape and size you want.

This mani made a perfect pairing with today's outfit of black leather skirt and biker boots. I also received these spike metal chain earrings in the post which I think completed the whole edgy look:

On a different note, have any of you tried travel nail polish remover pads? I had never used them before because I always thought they wouldn't actually remove the polish in it's entirety but a friend of mine swears by them. I wouldn't use them regularly because they aren't great for removing glitter polish or to clean up of course, but they are certainly a good choice to take with you on holiday. Compact and lightweight. These strawberry ones from Born Pretty Store smell divine.

If you want to purchase any of these or other items from the Born Pretty Store, you can use code VA7J61 for 10% discount.

Fireberry

This is my new favourite red (for now)! It's the perfect red for the nubbins I'm sporting at the moment. I've had to file my nails right down as I've been overloading them with polish and sometimes using pure acetone remover.

Fireberry is a bright but cool toned red. I can't really see any tinge in it, it's just that - a bright red creme. I only have one other CND polish (colour) and this one is every bit as good as the other one. The formula is perfect, it applies a dream and opaque in one coat. My favourite red before this one was OPI Keys To My Karma but it's nowhere near as opaque. It now means I can do tape manis with red!

Here is an extra pic of Fireberry with a black diamante ring I bought this week. Looking at this pic now, it looks a bit big for my hand, but hey.... I like big rings. The bigger the better right? And it only cost £1.99.
