Born Pretty Store Milky Glitter Nail Polish Set Review

Hello my lovelies! It's Friday and I haven't posted anything this week except for the Monday Blues post. I'm gonna try to make it up to you today by showing you a set of 4 lovely polishes that are perfect for spring. They come from the Born Pretty Store, which means that they are really affordable, even though they look like indie polishes. Here's what I'm talking about.


Aren't they pretty? These 4 lovely shades come in a set made out of mini bottles (6 ml). It's a nice selection and they come in handy, especially if you want to have a bit of variation and don't need a large quantity of each. I really like the fact that even though the bottles are small, they do have some decent sized brushes so they apply like normal polishes.


As you can see, all 4 shades look really nice in the bottle. They all have the same type of formula, namely a thicker one. Opacity is decent and you can get away with 2 coats because they apply thicker than other polishes. I would recommend a little mixing of the bottle between coats just to help with fluidity. I've noticed that they dry a bit slower so a fast drying top coat can be useful. They also have a strong smell to them so they are certainly not 3free. Now let's take a look at each shade.


The pink is the first shade I swatched and although I liked the application I didn't quite like the color. I'll have to be honest with you and tell you that this kind of pink is just not my shade. I've also noticed that the base in this one is a little more opaque, so the glitters are less visible. The amount of glitter seems to be smaller compared to the other ones. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love this shade but it's not for me.


The green is easily my favorite in the collection. It's such a beautiful and unique shade of spring green! Plus the glitter is really visible and cheerfully colored. I ended up wearing this one with some stamping on top. But that's the subject of another post.


The blue is my second favorite of the set. It's lovely but the shade isn't as unique as the green. The glitter colors are more muted in this one and I really like the subtle effect they have. This reminds me of Revlon Whimsical but it has a brighter shade of blue and it's much more opaque compared to that one.


Finally, we have the peach. Again, this is not a shade that goes well with my skin tone but it's lovely and I'm sure a lot of people would like it. I only swatched it on 4 fingers and realized that I will probably never wear it because it's too orange for me. If you have a yellow-based skin tone this is definitely for you.

If you are interested in this set, you can find it here. You can also find tons of nail art accessories on the website. Make sure you use code MFL91 at checkout to get 10% off your purchase.
