Born Pretty Store Galactic Multichrome Mani Nail Art + Tutorial!

Hey y'all

Purchased by Me

I know wtf have I been?  I been around dealing with a broken a computer and the freaking horrible expense of replacing it.  I pretty much live and die by my Apple products but boy when they break out of warranty its like the sky falling!  It took forever to raise funds to pay for repairs, but now I'm back and backlogged.  I decided to start with some major bang since I've been away for a bit and wanted to show you what I've been up with in the meantime.  Today I have those multichrome powders that have taken the nail world by storm combined with some Born Pretty Store magic that made me go, "Yes - I want it all!" Like a lot of nail gals I'm totally blown away with how stunning these products are and how easy they are to use. So let's go!

Holy smokes Batman I think we have multichrome holo happiness!  Ok let's not front some of these angles are ridiculous.  I freaking love this mani!

Yup I even came back with a tutorial complete with swervey music ;)

Mani-louge

Basecoat: UNT Peel Off Basecoat

Gel Topcoat:  Born Pretty Store Soak Off Topcoat (#25216) use code DMB15

Multichrome Powders: Born Pretty Store Shining Mirror Nails Kit (#33365) use code DMB15

Scattered Holo Topcoat: CND Northern Lights in Silver

Oh and finally I got to break out my LED/UV lamp again.  This thing doesn't get nearly the use it should, but every time I use it its so fun!  Plus you can be a daily nail changer and still break out the LED/UV stuffs as long as you have a good peel off base coat which clearly I do.  The no wipe topcoat from Born Pretty was perfect for the task of applying these chrome powders.  I haven't used any other but I liked it enough to consider buying a few more of the smaller bottles as back ups.  I also have two other no wipe topcoats on the way but I'm pretty impressed with how easily this one worked right off the bat without difficulties.

It's all about the angle darlings!  I kind of regret not dunking my nails in some water to snap a few photos but you can see depending on which way I angled my hand the multichrome pops through regardless.

Like so!  I seriously could have stopped here and it would have been a beautiful mani, but I'm a stamper and I love to stamp so of course I did but I can't wait to play around with these combos again!

Gold leaning green, blue and reddish purple.  These aren't as rich as some of the other pigment powders I've seen being used, but the soft and subtle nature of these powders is really impressive especially again the holo as I used it here.  I have my eye on a few other of the BPS powders now!

Mmmmm donuts...I mean galaxies....

These chromes will also reflect whatever background you are using.  In hindsight I might have taken a few more shots on my typical silver holo background which I will do next time, but as you can see these are still very reflective and chrome like.

My galaxy or yours?

And solo shot!  So welcome back.  I hope you all enjoyed my reentrance.  I missed blogging so much it was a ache in my side with some many amazing plates and products that came out and I couldn't cover a thing!  I've so many great ideas and new releases to share and also some swatches as well. You can find most of the products I mentioned on the Born Pretty Store website.  Earnestly since I've been pinching pennies to save up on my new compie these are some of the most affordable of the chrome powders that I've seen. I've also tried their silver chrome powder and it was also super impressive so I wouldn't hesitate to try them if you are thinking about it!  Thanks for reading and I'll see you next post!
