Nail Art and Review - Born Pretty Store Neon Studs

Hello Sugars!
Hope y'all are having a happy weekend thus far!

Today I have a review of some pretty nail art studs from Born Pretty Store - the online nail art store that ships FREE worldwide.

Below is what the studs look like. I got two wheels for review, filled with studs in different shapes and neon bright colors.

Press Sample

Each wheel came in a little bag shown below.

There are quite a lot of studs in each of the wheels, and I Love the variety of colors. The wheel below had square and circle studs, and that's the one I'll really be using for my nail art today.
It is the 2mm Round Square Fluorescent Dark Colors Stud Rhinestones Nail Art Decoration W/Box.

I didn't really have a plan in mind when I started this, but I chose this pretty polish by Butter London called Cake-Hole as my base color.

Then I applied a clear top coat on my base color, and started placing the studs in random orders on my nails to give a sort of polka dots look.
I picked up the studs using a dotting tool dipped in clear polish (YOU can use bobby pin, tooth pick, etc).

I settled with this after a while. The Neon dots LOOKED amazing in real life. My camera certainly freaked on these pictures because cake-hole was also a neon polish!

Notice how I did my index finger half way? Yes, this was very random and intentional, lol. I'm not the best at nail art, but I figured, I couldn't go wrong with Polka dots. lol..

These studs aren't complicated at all. They sit well on the nail and stayed put using just clear nail polish. I will suggest using glue if you want to wear this for weeks and weeks though. Or, just use about 2-3 coats of Topcoat over your complete mani to ensure that the studs are SEALED!

I want to try these over black nail polish y'all! The Neon and bright look of these studs give me a feeling that they'll be gorgeous over black. Do you agree?

Welppp, that's it for now darlings.
I love how simple studs such as this can take a completely plain mani into another dimension!
Tell me, what kind of nail art would you create with these? Looking forward to reading your comments.
