Shining Star

Nails as black as night; stars shining bright.  This design uses nail vinyls to make this mani out of this world.  

I received these star nail vinyls from Born Pretty Store in exchange for an honest review.  I've used the stripe/chevron/french tip kind of vinyl, but never the full nail type like this.  Sometimes it was a little hard to get the vinyl really flat/smooth against my nail so the stars wouldn't be distorted, BUT the HUGE plus...I was able to do all four nails with ONE vinyl.  Granted that will only work if you have short nails like mine.  But it was really nice to stretch out the use of that one vinyl.  Nine vinyls come on the sheet, but you can use the background and the stars, so really you get a lot of bang for your buck.  Overall I'm definitely a fan.  It is a nice alternative if you don't know how to stamp, and it is super fast and easy.

If you can peel and stick a sticker, then you have the skills to use these nail vinyls.  To create this look:

1. Apply a black base color.
   
2. Apply a nail vinyl, fully pressing it on the nail.  You want to make sure none of the edges of the stars are raised, otherwise polish will seep through.  Paint over the vinyl with a sparkly silver polish, and immediately remove the vinyl (tweezers help if you are going to use the unused portion of the vinyl on another nail).
   
3. Repeat this process on all the nails.
