HPB Presents | Monochrome | Born Pretty Review

Press Sample

Good afternoon loves! Today I have my monochrome mani for the group Hobby Polish Bloggers as well as a couple reviews for Born Pretty Store. Let's get right into it!

Here is my end result for my Monochrome design.

I was planning on using this as a base for some Audrey Hepburn water decals and thought shades of turquoise/aqua would match them well. They did end up a bit brighter then I was going for but I still love them!

Polishes and Products Used:

Color Club- Age of Aquarious

Virtuous Polish- Rehab

Virago Varnish- Wait Unteal the Sun Sets

Born Pretty Store- Plate BP 02

Born Pretty Store- Sponge and Holder

Glisten and Glow- HK Girl Top Coat

Now onto the reviews!

First up we have the

10Pcs Hollow Sponge & Sponge Holder $4.99

Item # 20985

This set comes with 10 slowly absorbing sponges that fit perfectly into a little plastic holder. They did exactly as described on the website. They didn't absorb the polish nearly as fast as a make up sponge would which made it so I could use the sponge across at least 4 nails before having to apply more polish. You can also reuse each sponge by flipping it around until there is no more open space so you can get at least 4 uses out of each sponge. Only down side for me is the price mainly because of how much I do gradients. I go through a bag of make up sponges rather quickly and they are cheaper for more. But if you only do gradients/ombres every now and then then this set is perfect for you and will last you awhile.

Next we have the

1 Sheet Audrey Hepburn Water Decals $1.85

Item # 21079

These were very easy to use and looked great, from a far. I wasn't a fan of how blurry and pixelated each image was(which you can see in the macro below). They were still cute and good for the price but I was a bit disappointed in the end result.
