I am fortunate to work with Born Pretty.

Here are the products I got. I already reviewed Born Pretty Peel Off Color Changing Nail Polish in #G001 Swan Lake (top left) and Born Pretty UR SUGAR Water Decal in #101-104 (top right). For this post, I will review the crystals on the bottom left.
This is Born Pretty Color Crystal Rhinestone 3D Nail Art Decoration in Wheel. Since I did a thorough review of Born Pretty Heart 3D Nail Studs, I will base this on that. It retails for $1.79 and it's described as...

"Specification:

Thoughts: While looking online, the crystals stood out. I love the concept that the crystals change with the base of the color.
Here's a closer look at the wheel.
Here's a closer look at the crystals. It comes with six different shapes and four of each shapes.
I applied OPI Nail Envy in Original and Formula X Prime Xcel Base Coat on all the nails. Then two coats of Julep in Francis on my thumb, index, middle, and pinkie fingers. Two coats of Formula X in Dark Matter on the ring fingers. Topped all nails with Formula X Shine Xcel Top Coat and then glued Born Pretty Color Crystal Rhinestone 3D Nail Art in Wheel on my ring fingers.
Here's another look at the nail art at a different angle.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the wheel comes with six different shape crystals. It comes in a heart, circle, triangle, and so on. The range of the sizes are different as well. Some are bigger than others. That's a good thing since some people have longer nails than others. Since I don't grow my nails much, a lot of the crystals don't look that good. I found the smaller ones fit perfectly on my small nail bed like the tear drop. If you have long nails. all of these will look great on you. You can even do multiples on one nail bed. Secondly, the wheel is well-made and sturdy. Each compartment comes with two crystals. There's four crystals per shape. The wheel is sealed and it's easy to turn. I recommend turning from the sides rather than the top. I turned from the top first time around and it was hard to maneuver. Then I tried turning from the sides and it easier to move. With that said, I cannot see the crystals fall out of the wheel unless you leave it open by accident. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. It's small enough to throw in your purse, bag, and even your pocket. Third, it's great all year round. It all depends how you create the nail art. With that said, the coolest thing about these crystals are the multi-colored aspects. It all depends on what color nail polish you apply the crystals on. I applied mine on top of black and it changed to bluish-green. If you apply on top of white nail polish, the crystals are more whitish-silver. Lastly and since it's three dimensional, you need to seal the crystals tightly or else it will budge. Applying on top of top coat is not enough with these crystals. I had to use nail glue or else it won't last a week. Once the nail glue dries, the crystals are seal until you take it off. Also, you can use the crystals on other things other than your nails.

Would repurchase: Yes.
