Strawberry Water Decals - Born Pretty Store Review


*This product was sent to me for review, all opinions are my own

New year, new products to review! Born Pretty Store kindly sent me these cute strawberry decals recently and I've been wearing them on my nails for a good week now. I've posted a bunch of times about water decals and as always, these were simple to use and easy to apply. The only time I struggled a bit was with the very small strawberry in the middle of my index finger because it was quite tiny and hard to grip properly with the tweezers, but as you can see I got there in the end.


I had no real plan when applying these, I just wanted to use all the different sizes and styles of decals that were on the sheet. I will admit I don't love the strip of strawberries that the decal offers that are on my middle finger. Maybe I could have utilised them differently or applied them on the length of my nail instead of the width but I just don't love that nail. The heart one of my ring finger is pretty cute though and so are the little bunches on my other nails. 

Overall I don't love these decals as much as I've loved some previous ones. Looking at the link above where you can purchase them from, I wish I had chosen the sheet with all different kinds of fruits on them. I think that would've been a lot more fun and something I would probably use beyond this review as well. Might have to purchase those ones!


Ultimately, just like other water decals, they're easy to use if you want simple nail art that people will still comment on and even question if you did them yourself. And you can definitely mix it up and wear them with other colours or patterns or just as an accent. The heart would be pretty cute with a Valentine's Day design actually!

Don't forget I have a code MEPUK31 if you want 10% off at checkout on the Born Pretty Store website!

Watermelon Nail Art

I have a quick post tonight to show you some watermelon nail art I did over the weekend! It's nothing special and I don't really love them that much; they definitely could be better but they're still fun and it's my first time doing this design, so I can only improve from here, right?



The red base is Pink Colada by Ulta3, the dark green is Don't Mess With OPI by OPI, the white is Snow Me White by Sinful Colors and the lighter green is a mix of the OPI shade and Mojito Madness by Essie.

I think next time I would use a lighter shade of pink but I know that this colour would be perfect for some strawberry nail art!

Thanks for reading!

Kiwi Fruit Nail Art

I have a quick post tonight on these kiwi fruit nails that I did on a whim last week. I recently picked up the nail polish Kiwi Kaos by Ulta3 and was swatching it when I realised I should actually do kiwi fruit nails to go with the name of the polish! 

The design itself is pretty simple but I did watch a video by cutepolish to get an idea on how I should go about it and that helped a lot.




I don't know whether they look that much like kiwi fruits but they're fun anyway and I enjoyed doing them! I think if I was to redo them I'd made the white sections a little smaller so there was more green.

That's all for tonight, just a super quick post to show you these fun nails!

Thanks for reading.
