Glitter Nail Polish - Born Pretty Review

Another product that I had a chance to review from bornprettystore.com is a few of their "glitter color nail lacquer" shades.

There are four that I have to review. Unfortunately they aren't named but there is a white, beige, purple and pink.

white - This is a sheer white with a glittery, flakie type glitter, a la Zoya - Glitters, that flickers green and pink. This is three coats.

beige - This is an awesome shade because it is neutral and work appropriate but also interesting and fun. This is three coats.

purple - This is bright purple sheer that has the flakie glitter that flashes green, gold and a bit of blue. This will be good for layering.

pink - This may be my favorite, only because it is the most opaque. It's a milky pink with a green shimmer. It's not the glitter type like the other ones. It's more fine of a shimmer but it is pretty.

A few comments about these:
  1. These are not sold separately. These are only a few of the shades that come in a set of 45 of these glitter shades. I don't know if I would really want an army of 45 of these, but if you do, they are available here for $82.31.
  2. These are mini bottles. I don't have a problem at all with mini bottles. These are a fine size and have a good brush. The funny thing about these is that they say they are 0.6 oz but this is what they look like compared to a bottle that is actually 0.6 oz:
  3. These smell really bad. They have an outrageous chemically smell that makes me feel like I am going to pass out if I breathe it in. Good thing it says this:

  6. It's odd how much the typography on the bottles reminds me of OPI.

    The colours are pretty, but I can't see myself splurging on such a huge quantity of polishes at the moment.

  7. I totally agree with Diane! Their font is so reminiscent of OPI!

    Nice colors, but I certainly wouldn't want 45 of them either. :-)

  8. Either Fl oz is slightly different than just oz or it's a typo, as a reader mentioned. They're quite small but if they smell quite chemical-ly, I don't think I'd want a full bottle of it. :(

    I wouldn't want the whole set either. They may have a better shot at selling them individually. Good review!

  10. i once bought a polish made in china (from ebay) just because it looked so pretty. when i received it it was not what i expected and the smell was unbearable. just terrible. so now i avoid china-looking polishes. lol.
