Born Pretty Store Feather water decals review

I received this item in exchange for an honest review. 

I was looking over my old posts the other day and I realized it's been almost a month since I last did a manicure, yet I have a bunch of goodies still sitting here needing reviewed. WHAT? A month? I don't know where the time goes. I knew it had been 2 weeks but I seriously thought that was all. Time flies when you have a lot going on, I suppose.

So today's manicure I actually started last week - but then never finished so I decided to do something completely different with it and I'm glad I did because I love how it turned out.

Today I will be reviewing these feather nail stickers made by Hibiscus Nails and sold by Born Pretty Store.

I started with one coat of Cover Girl Black Heat on my pointer and pinky fingers. On the remaining fingers I painted one coat of Wet n Wild 9.0.2.1.Orange, then I used it again to top each nail with a second coat. I ended up with a really pretty foil look on each nail.

I let my nails dry, then cut out some of the feather stickers, dipped them in water for a few seconds, and lastly applied them to my nails. To finish off, I used one coat of Chrome Girl Top Coat. I did not have any melting issues with these decals, yay! I did not apply the decals to the nails I used Black Heat on.

 While I didn't have melting issues, these decals are pretty thin so they stuck to my fingers pretty easily. Unlike other decals, these were easy to place on my nails and then readjust if needed.

 These decals are much more transparent than I realized they would be, so while they did blend in with my polish quite a bit, it actually come out looking really pretty. It almost has like a faux tortoise shell effect, which I love. The foil polish turned out to be perfect for these stickers, in my opinion. It just looks so pretty. I may have to keep that in mind next time I use these again!

As you can see though, the design is still pretty noticeable, even the orange colors. I feel like this would be a great manicure for Autumn. As hot as this summer has been so far, I'm almost ready for Autumn already so maybe that was my subconscious mind at work :P

These decals are $2.90 at Born Pretty Store and are available in 4 different patterns. I received pattern number HN-053. World Wide shipping is always free!

I received this product in exchange for an honest review.

My cat Winslow suffers from dry skin, so I had read up on it and many people recommend giving cats fish oil. I've just been giving him regular vegetable oil because that's all I had and could afford at the time. I saw this Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for review, and jumped on it!

Review

Winslow didn't seem to like this oil much at first. The directions state to pump some of the oil over the pets food, which I did and it just sat there for several days uneaten. So I tried putting it on a separate plate, and surprise surprise, Mr. Finicky likes it like that. I give this to him now about every other day. After not quite a month of use, the 16 ounce bottle is maybe half way gone, maybe a little less. This has to be kept stored in the fridge and since I don't give it to Winslow every day, if I do forget he will let me know he wants more by rubbing his face against the vegetable oil bottle (or licking it - old habit.) Once I started giving him the oil on the plate, he would actually let me know he wanted more after just 12 hours or so! Obviously too soon for him to have more, but apparently he approves of it.

Too much of this oil might cause some diarrhea but we didn't have that problem. His stools were getting a little too soft but not diarrhea. So I just cut back and started giving him the oil every other day instead of every day as I had been doing. Winslow has very long fur, so between shedding for the summer and his dry skin, a lot of it does get eaten. I feel better giving him this oil knowing his fur gets passed through his system easier, so he isn't as constipated as he used to be.

This oil has definitely improved his dry skin issue as well. He still has a few flakes every now and then but it isn't the huge chunks of dead skin I used to get when brushing him. His fur feels a bit softer, as well. Nor does he seem to be pulling out his fur as much. I'm hoping with prolonged use, this will improve even more.

I also noticed a definite increase in his energy. Winslow is only a few years old so it's not like he's an old man but he's definitely not a kitten either. I now have to take a few minutes every day to make sure to play with him. I didn't have to do that prior to the oil.

Other things I like about this oil is that it is wild, and not farm raised, fish oil and of course it contains all of the healthy fats such as Omega 3. Of course I love that it's made in the USA. My only concern with this oil is that it's stored in an aluminum container, which of course aluminum has been found to cause many heath issues with humans so I would assume it would be the same for our pets. Regardless, I will recommend this. 

Paw Choice Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs and Cats is available on Amazon for $24.95 and ships free with Amazon Prime or orders over $49.
