Born Pretty Hello Kitty Stamping Kit Review

Hello Liquid Jellettes! Yes, you are a Jellette. ;) Born Pretty was kind enough to send me a few products for review. If you don't know about Born Pretty, it's an online site that sells lots of various nail art* products and polishes for fairly low prices. The first item I tried was the Hello Kitty Stamp Template DIY Kit*. This kit contains one stamping plate with 9 images, including one of Hello Kitty. It also comes with a small one-side stamper and a scraper.

Hey all! Sorry about the lack of posts these past few days. Liquid Jelly recently reached 1,000 followers on GFC, so I've been putting together a giveaway for you all! :)

Here's what's up for grabs! One lucky winner will win all of these:

A $15 Julep Voucher Code
Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed (Limited Edition & Sold Out)

P.S. The bottle of Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed is my back up bottle. I know a few of you missed out on it, so I thought I'd help you take it off your lemming list. :)

So I will try to put together another giveaway only open to the international ladies with beauty/nail goodies without nail polish to avoid shipping problems.

Preview: OPI Launches Outrageous Neons!

Sizzling, Fluorescent Hues!

OPI Announces New Limited Edition Outrageous Neons, the Brand’s First Neon Lacquer

OPI launches its first neon nail lacquer with the Outrageous Neons mini pack, including four limited edition neon shades, a neon white base coat, and OPI Top Coat. The four fluorescent hues include vivid shades of yellow, orange, pink and purple. The essential step for achieving the best results is to prep nails with one coat of neon white base, followed by two coats of neon lacquer. Colors dry matte, but adding one layer of OPI Top Coat results in bright, bold color with a shiny finish.

“Outrageous Neons marks OPI’s foray into the world of neon color,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “In the US, the FDA requires that all cosmetic colorants be approved, and each batch must be certified for purity. The lacquers in this set are formulated with new, FDA-approved neon pigments for a look that’s dazzlingly vibrant.”

Along with neon white base and OPI Top Coat, the four shades in the Outrageous Neons mini pack include:

Ridiculously Yellow
So yellow, it’s beyond understanding.

Formidably Orange
Brace yourself for this powerful orange.

Riotously Pink
This pink has been known to create a scene.

Seriously Purple
I really mean it…it’s really purple!

As with all OPI nail lacquers, Outrageous Neons contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde. This limited edition mini pack promotion will be available beginning July 2012 at professional salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for $19.95 ($24.95 CAN) suggested retail for each mini pack (includes all six products).

Kardashian Kolors Pretty Petites: Sophisti-cuties

Hello! :) Today I have the second set of Kardashian Kolors minis. This one's called Sophisti-cuties and contains (from top to bottom): My Empire...My Rules, Follow Me on Glitter, Khloé Had a Little Lam-Lam, and Hard-Kourt Fashionista.

3 coats, My Empire...My Rules: a mushroom taupe creme.
3 coats, My Follow Me on Glitter: a black base with fine and small silver glitter. There are also multi-colored glitters in bright blue, fuchsia, red, green, and yellow.

2 coats, Khloé Had a Little Lam-Lam: a dark teal-green creme. Love this one! I did 2 coats for pics, but it can definitely be a one-coater. :)
3 coats, Hard-Court Fashionista: a chocolate brown creme. Very shiny!

Like the Celeb-bities set, I found the formulas for all of these flawless. If anything, Khloé Had a Little Lam-Lam was a little more on the watery side, but nothing unmanageable. Overall, a pretty solid set. I think the colors in this set work very well together and can easily be worn together like in my pictures.

Pretty Petites will be available July 2012 for $10 each at Duane Reade, H-E-Butt, Fred Meyer, Meijer, Rite Aid, Sears and ULTA. In Canada, each set will be available for $15 at Katz Group, Loblaw, Shoppers Drug Mart, select Sears locations, and Walmart Canada.

Kardashian Kolors Pretty Petites: Celeb-bities

Hey all! Today I have a handful of polishes to show you! :) Here are the four mini Kardashian Kolors from the Celeb-bities set (from top to bottom): Wear Something Spar-Kylie, Sealed with a Kris, Kim-pletely in Love, and All Kendall-ed Up. I found that all of these applied flawlessly, even with the small mini brush.

2 coats, All Kendall-ed Up: a bright, blue leaning pink creme. Pretty much your typical pink.

4 coats, Kim-pletely in Love: a sheer, light pink with blue shimmer. Gorgeous! I wish the blue shimmer showed up in my pictures. I'm still trying to hunt down a full-size bottle of this one. :/

3 coats, Sealed with a Kris: a blood red jelly. So squishy and shiny.
3 coats, Wear Something Spar-Kylie: a light red with fine silver glitter.

Overall, I think these colors make a nice set. I was especially elated to see Kim-pletely in Love in this set, since I haven't been able to find it. What do you think? Do you usually buy mini sets like these? Let me know in the comments! :)

Pretty Petites will be available July 2012 for $10 each at Duane Reade, H-E-Butt, Fred Meyer, Meijer, Rite Aid, Sears and ULTA. In Canada, each set will be available for $15 at Katz Group, Loblaw, Shoppers Drug Mart, select Sears locations, and Walmart Canada.
