Born Pretty Store 3D Crystal Rhinestone Review

I have some really pretty 3D red crystal rhinestones from Born Pretty Store to share with you. They come in 12 different colors, but I picked red because I thought I might be able to make some cute ruby-inspired nail art with them.

I thought these would be large, but still small enough to fit one on each finger. The website says they are 1 cm in diameter, so I guess I should have looked at a ruler to see what I was going to be getting.

I decided to put the stone on a base of Julep Amelia (why, I have no idea because I hate streaky pearl finishes, but I figured I'd give it a shot since it was in my untrieds).


I suppose it doesn't look too bad that way, but here's where I have a problem...




That's a lot of rhinestone sticking out all over the place!

If these could be curved, I think they would work a lot better for nail art. They're just a little too chunky and too big for me, though.

They are really pretty, just not for nails. They will definitely be going in with my craft supplies for a future project rather than in my nail art supplies box! I have half a billion craft projects in the works so I am sure I'll find some way to use them.

And just because I don't feel like doing two separate posts, a couple shots of Amelia on it's own:



If Amelia was a creme, she and I would definitely get along better, because the color is beautiful!

If you are perhaps interested in grabbing some of these rhinestones, they are $2.89 USD for 10. And of course, if you do shop at Born Pretty Store, use my coupon code ANL91 and they will host a giveaway for you here!

This product was sent from Born Pretty Store for honest review. All opinions are 100% truthful and my own.

I like this and the idea is cool but I think I would rip it off my nail doing something in about 10 seconds after it was put on. How long did you keep it on? Maybe they will change them after your review comments.

I only left it on for about an hour. There was no way I was even going to try to make it last longer. It got caught on pretty much everything I touched!
Eek that's one massive rhinestone! Having them curved is a good idea though, someone should do that! I'm the same with streaky finishes, it just ruins the mani and makes me grumpy.

I guess if you had flat nails they'd still work, but most people don't.
these look like they weren't made for nails lol

That's kind of what I was thinking too.
Now that is one large GEM!
