I am fortunate to work with Born Pretty Store. I received some nail art products.

For this post, I will focus on the nail art stencils on the left.

Thoughts: When I first saw this on the website, I was intrigued. I have never heard of a nail art stencil. For that reason, I thought it wouldn't hurt to try the product out. I ended up choosing Series A.

Here's a closer picture of the butterfly stencil.

A closer picture but I have no idea what the pattern is.

Here's another pattern I have no idea what it is called.

Here's a closer picture of the last pattern, skull.

On the back of each stencil, there's instructions on the back.

I peeled the stencil and applied it where I wanted it to be.

On top of the stencil, I applied another nail polish color.

Here's the overall look after the polishes dried. I applied Orly Calcium Shield Basecoat. Then 2 coats of OPI in I have a Herring Problem on all my nails except the ring finger. On the ring finger, I applied 2 coats of Milani in Black Magic. Then I applied the stencil on my ringer finger and topped it with 2 coats of L.A. Colors in Live. Then I steal the polishes with Butter London Hardwear P.D. Quick Topcoat.

I also did another look last week with the stencils.

I used the butterflies. You can check out my Manicure Monday: Sinful Colors in Verbena.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, it wasn't what I expected. To be honest, I thought it was some plastic that's flexible that you lay (not stick) on your nails. Then you apply nail polish on top. I'm actually glad it wasn't. Now that I think about it if it was some plastic that doesn't stick on my nails, I can see myself make a lot of mistakes. For one thing, it'll move while painting. That'll be a big no no. Basically, my imagination went wild and I'm so glad I was wrong! Secondly, the stencils are really easy to use. You just peel it off the backing. You might want to stick it couple of times on your skin to make it less sticky. Trust me the first time I applied it onto the nail polish, it was extremely hard to remove. It started to break apart and some parts of the stencil stuck onto the nail polish. Apply the stencil on the desired spot and then paint your desired nail polish color. It said to peal the stencil off immediately. I tried that and it didn't work for me. I actually applied top coat on top and then peeled it off. Then I applied another top coat on top of the whole nail. That worked better for me. If you find another method, please tell me. I would love to know! With that said, I found the hardest part peeling the stencil off. For some reason, it would always break even if I peeled it off slowly. Lastly, it lasts until the polishes chip in that area.

Pros:
* Comes in a variety of styles.
* Comes in different sizes.
* Easy to apply.
* Long lasting.

Cons:
* Hard to find in stores.
* Stencils break while peeling.

Would repurchase: Yes.
