Born Pretty Metallic Painting Gel Silver Painted Gel Nail Polish 3D Metal Painting Gel Drawing Mirror Nail Gel Polish Glossy Soak Off DIY Nail Art Manicure Vanish

There’s really no smell when I opened it. It’s super pigmented, I put a little bit on my liner brush and it was enough, you really don’t need much. It was super easy to use. One complaint which I don’t even know if it can be a complaint, I just wish there was a pull tab for the foil because I did get the silver everywhere opening it because it is so full! I’m glad it was so full though!

The media could not be loaded. I love these glitter gels. They’re really pretty and easy to place, especially since you can pick different sized glitters from the pot with the dotting tool end of the included brush. Yes, some of the larger glitter pieces and glowy pieces are large, so they won’t lay smooth on their own. You have to encapsulate and then file down smooth before adding a top coat. I wore this set for 2.5 weeks with no lifting or chipping. Plus the glow effect is a cool bonus. It’s really bright if you “charge” your nails under a black light or in the sun, but will still subtly glow in the dark otherwise.

I love this paint as far as color, consistency and ease to work with. But I have to keep it in a plastic sealed bag because the smell is so strong! I don’t recommend to use it on natural nails and to definitely use gloves when working with it. Just to be safe and avoid any kind of reaction to it. Not sure what it is that makes the smell so strong (trying to get an msds list). But I wouldn’t want to take chances with it getting on the skin. For applications on top of gels, press on’s, or acrylics, it’s beautiful!!

The odor is the #1 problem. It arrived yesterday and I smelled it before I even opened the box. Obviously, whatever is used to make the gold color gives it a really terrible, chemical odor. Even with my nail station ventilation, it's still really bad. If "unsafe" had a smell, this would be it. *Note - Basis of comparison is the silver. Bought that also, and it had no smell - winner!#2 is the color. As noted in the description photos, it says to mix before use as it naturally will settle. Well, I mixed the hell out of it and it was like the gold pigment was too heavy or something, kept falling back down to the bottom of the pot. Even managed to hurry and mix, then hurry to dip my brush, and place on my nail - a ridiculous race - but it still went on more silver than gold. I then realized the name of the color is, "Alchemist" which I suppose could be any color (lol) so it's more gold-ISH, not really gold. A subjective lens might also say it's silver-ISH. But hey, I've only been a Nail Tech doing nails for over 20 years. What the heck do I know? *Note - Needs a minimum 60sec curing time*Bonus #3 - It arrived damaged with the plastic film under the cap half opened. If #1 and #2 weren't an issue, I'd have kept it. But I just went ahead and threw it out this morning, in my OUTSIDE bin.If you get this, just wear a mask (for spray painting), do your nails outside and don't expect true gold.

Product is very runny - almost watery, and, regardless of how you store it, the jar is always leaking.The gel fairly easy to apply and the color is opaque.

Excelente

Other reviews note that it loses the pure metallic shine with top coat, but Born Pretty includes that in the product description/instructions. It is very thin, so will need to adjust how you apply. I actually like this, because I feel like I have much better control, and it goes on quite flat. While it seems like not much is in the jar, the tiniest amount is all that's needed for even a large design, because it's highly pigmented and very thin, so goes a long way. Every time I put a drop on a palette and do a set, I feel like I've wasted more than I've used (but you'll use less this way than dipping into the jar).

Good 👍
