Triangularity: Born Pretty rhinestones review

Hey-oh! Welcome to my second review post! Today is the day I'm finally talking about something different than nails (but about nails, too. x)

The heroes of this post are the 4mm rhinestones from Born Pretty store, and should I tell you I was baffled upon seeing them in my package. Thing is, they were sent to me by mistake (instead of round glitter) and there was no way I'd use them in nail art.

So I decided to make a pendant.

Всем привет! Сегодня я наконец-то покажу вам что-то отличное от ногтей (но и ногти тоже. x) А именно, стразы из магазина Born Pretty.

Когда я только достала их из конверта, то несколько растерялась: вместо них должны были прислать круглый глиттер, и для моих ногтей они были слишком велики. 

Поэтому я решила сделать кулон.

Crash into the Picture Polish Ocean

Please understand 

This isn't just goodbye 

This is I can't stand you 

This is where the road crashed into the ocean 

It rises all around me 

And now we're barely breathing 

A thousand faces we'll choose to ignore

No, It Isn't — (+44)

Have I ever told you how much I love putting my favourite songs' lyrics into um, everything? Because I sure do. They don't have to do anything with the topic, it might as well be just one matching word in there. This time the lyrics were taken off the top of my head and the word in question was...the name of a polish.

Yep, so much for the diversity of my posts.

But shooting painted nails isn't as easy as it may seem, just like any other kind of photography. Why would anyone think it is. Why would I think it is. Which I did, judging by the folders worth of poor digital (heh, heh) snaps.

So I finally decided to try and put some proper work into it. Besides, the weather was on my side: the sky was covered in one light uniform cloud which served as a nature's softbox. I threw together a simple set-up consisting of white wove paper and my trademark desktop camera stand. You can see it here. Then I've taken half a hundred pictures of my differently crooked fingers with various objects seized in them. Let's take a look at the best ones, shall we? :D

Picture Polish Ocean, along with its three other blue brothers, became one of my first indie polishes. It has a turquoise blue jelly base scattered with holographic flakes. Their holo-ness is rather timid, but they still sparkle nicely. You can wear this polish on its own or layer over, say, white or mint to tweak the hue. :)
