Striper nail art brush test


Striper nail art brush from Born Pretty Store

Stripes are a good way to spice up a plain manicure. Today I’m going to show you a striper nail art brush from
Born Pretty Store.

The brush looks like this:


You can take the handle off and use it as a cap for the brush so it’s protected when you don’t use it. That’s a pretty clever feature!


Here’s the mani I made:


The brush is fairly thick for a striper brush and therefore my stripes got wider than I usually prefer them. I like the manicure nonetheless though.


I just cleaned the brush with polish remover after use. Easy peasy.
Just for the record, here are the polishes I used:

Colour Alike #496, Julie G Rock Candy, OPI Angel with a Leadfoot

The verdict:

Pros:
Good length on the brush
Nice tool for stripes
Great feature that the handle can be used as a cap for protection

Cons:
The brush is too wide for precision nail art – after I made this I cut of 75% of the hair to make it a proper striping size :D

  1. Lovely, it looks as if it was magnetic ;) I have to buy a brush from BPS one day, I'd like a very thin one.

    1. I prefer the brushes thinner too, also because my nails aren't particularly big :)

  3. The manicure is nice but I would have liked if the brush had been narrower.

  4. Yes, it definitely needs trimming, but 75% might be too much, depending of the stability/flexibility of the hairs tho :)

    1. I guess I just have to try and see how much I can get away with :)
