A galaxy in purple (Born Pretty Store review)

Hello everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend so far! Today I have the third of four Born Pretty Store reviews for you from the fab package they sent me. This time is features some glittery purple star stickers which I have used to jazz up a galaxy mani and add a little twist to the way I would usually do them.


I started with a dry black base and sponged white sections with different opacity. I then sponged outwards from the centre using Barry M Papaya, Fuchsia and Cyan Blue and sponged a little black along the edges to blend properly. 


I added a coat of Seche Vite before carefully applying the stickers once dry. I didn't want to lose any of the glitter texture effect by top coating over the stars - it didn't seem to affect the longevity as I had no issue with peeling for the two days I had them on, but if you want a long term look I would suggest that you make sure that they are firmly affixed and that you top coat over them.


I love that this changed up the traditional galaxy look and it was so simple to do. The stickers are easy to apply and not too "floppy", but they adhered well to the nail and looked great!

You can find all of the new nail art products at Born Pretty Store here, and don't forget that if you use the code UKX31 you will get 10% off your order.

I have some stunning swatches coming up for you later, so stay tuned for multiple glitter bombs!!!

    1. They are really good stickers, sometimes there is a problem with lifting of the edges, especially on larger stickers, but these were great :)
