Born Pretty Store Review - Real Dried Flowers

*Provided for review.

Hello my lovelies. Happy Saturday, I hope you are all having a lovely day so far. I am spending my day catching up on blog stuff (it feels like I do this every Saturday at the moment, I need some more organisation in my life!).

Today I have a review of these lovely dried flowers from Born Pretty Store. They come in a pack with twelve different colours but I have just used one colour for my nails today. Each colour comes in a separate little pot so they are nice and easy to store. I have been wanting to try out dried flowers for ages, but I've never got round to actually buying any so I was pleased to give these a go.

I used a base of Barry M - Sugar Apple for these nails.

To apply my flowers I painted a layer of topcoat and pressed the flower into it whilst it was still wet. I then topped this off with another two layers of topcoat to smooth it out a bit.

You will want to use a thicker topcoat with these, they're kind of like a topcoat hungry glitter that takes a lot of topcoat to smooth out.

I was pretty pleased with these overall, though I have to admit that these were better in my head than on my naisl. Perhaps I just need a bit more practise at applying them. I love the array of colours you get in the set, so there will be a colour there for everyone and you can get plenty of manicures out of each set. However I did find that the individual flowers were too big for my nails (bare in mind I have very narrow nail beds) so I had to trim them, which caused a lot of the petals to fall off so it wasted them a bit... although they are real flowers so I don't know if a smaller variety exists lol. I also used all of the flowers in the blue pot for one hand, so I would prefer if there were a few more flowers in each pot so you could get a full ten fingers out of it (I would have to use a mixture of colours to do both hands). The dye in the flowers also stained my fingers when removing them which was a bit of a pain, so be cautious when removing these babies! But despite a few gripes, I still really liked them and they are definitely pretty and are easy to apply.
