| first try with the brushes |
I have decided to step up my game and try some more delicate and artsy designs but then I realized that my collection was missing some pieces. So I started looking for proper nail art tools online.
All the things I bought are from the Born Pretty Store which sells various beauty articles and has an especially big nail art section.
Brushes
I bought three thin liner brushes and those are the reason why I went to the store page in the first place.
I was a bit scared of using them, as the brush part seemed to be a bit too long for proper handling but they are easy to work with.
Dotting Tools
Then I came across a set of different sized dotting tools and since I've always loved to create flowers I had to get this one too. There are also tons of other designs you can use them for and I can't wait to experiment around. :P
The set came with five two-way dotting tools. The ball on one side is the same size on all five tools but the one on the other side is different, as you can see in the pictures bellow.
Rhinestones and Studs
I also explored the decorations they had and decided to buy some silver rhinestones. They are actually a bit smaller than I expected them to be but I will find a way to use them.
Next I found cute star shaped studs which come in eight vibrant colors. I bought the silver ones but I'll definitely purchase some of the colored ones too because they look so lovely.
| I left out the rhinestones as they were a pain to arrange for the picture and we all know what they look like :) |
3D Decoration
The 3D nail art section seemed a bit too bold for me at first but then I came across some golden sea shells and I had to get those, especially since I've been trying to create some beach nails.
The shells come in two sizes 3 and 5mm and thinking 3mm would be big enough (my nails are quite small) I ordered those. Next time I'll probably get the bigger ones though as they look smaller irl than on screen :P
Glitter
The last item I bought comes from the glitter section. I went for stars again. This time I chose some iridescent cutout stars and it was their colorfulness that caught my attention.
