Beauty Tips for Women: Nick Jonas Pillow Cover

Do you have a Nick Jonas fan living in your midst? I have one. I wanted to get her something special and unique, so I set out to find some Nick Jonas affordable merchandise.

I came across a Nick Jonas Pillow Cover on Aliexpress.com. There are about seven images available from different vendors. I had my daughter pick an image that she liked. The pillow covers come in different sizes and I choose 14×20, which is rectangle throw pillow size. Price of the pillow cover depends on the size you choose, so it can be between $9.99 – $13.99.

The pillow cover was exactly as pictured. The image was clear and is on both sides. The cover is a soft polyester/cotton material. It has withstood washing and drying with no issues. It has a zipper on the side.

The pillow cover fit perfectly on a throw pillow that I already had in the house.  Beauty Tips for Women  659

My daughter loves her Nick Jonas pillow and it certainly is a unique gift for a Nick Jonas fan.

For the smooshy nail technique you place dots of the polish on paper and with your stamper you press down then transfer to the nail. A very easy method and you get to see what the polish mixture looks like before applying it to your nails. You can also place the polish drops on the stamper then apply to your nails. I found this method harder to control. Beauty Tips for Women  655

I decided to stamp them using a mix of images off of the Born Pretty plate BP-L008 using Silver Mercedes.

This did not work at all. With my small nails and the thickness of the images, the smooshy nail polish was lost underneath.

I definitely want to try this technique again because I found it fun and easy.

Beauty Tips for Women: Born Pretty Store Mysterious Starry Sky Night Nail Wrap Review

Let me start off by saying that I received this product at a reduce cost in exchange for my honest review.

The Mysterious Starry Sky Night design (#1854) is really cute and images are clear. The packet has 14 nail wraps that vary in size.

I followed the instructions on placement but the wraps kept rising off the free edge. Also I couldn’t get a smooth coverage over the nail. I did my best with pressing down and smoothing the wrap over my nails. I applied top coat which seemed to help them sticking back down. But sadly these wraps had zero staying power. After about 10 minutes, the wrap started lifting up and rolling back.

Overall, I like how they look but they don’t last.
