Summary: This sparkling jacket would have been worn by a fashionable woman in urban China in the 1920s or 1930s, possibly with a matching skirt or else a plain black one. The collar is lined with orange velvet.
I’ve been wanting to use star shaped sequins for a while and was so excited to finally get these Star Nail Sequins (in selection “colorful”) from @bornprettystore-blog. They are pretty standard, the pot comes stock full of the sequins. The pot contains two sizes of stars in red, gold, silver, purple, and blue. I loved that there was variation in the size in this package as it just gives you more options. At first, I thought the colors left something to be desired (although I did love that you get gold and silver as well as the colored ones in this pot). The photo on the bornpretty site shows a far greater variety of colors included in this “colorful” pack (it looks like there are also green, orange, and pink sequins in their photos). This could just be a result of lighting in the photos, but definitely be aware of that if you are looking to buy these. After using these on my nail I came to like the colors a lot more as the different way the light hits them really makes them look less like basic primary colors. So overall I’m happy with these. I tend to not love the feel of having 3d studs and rhinestones on my nails, despite how much I love the look of them. Since I don’t do gel/acrylic nails, these items tend to just be a constant worry for me. This is why I prefer sequins. These sequins do stick up a bit on the edges since they have points and such, but I have to imagine that if I pressed them into the top coat and used a thicker coat to seal them in that this would be less of an issue.
Overall, I am quite a fan of these sequins and I can’t wait to keep using them.
I finally did it! I graduated from USD this past weekend cum laude with my degree in accounting! I got to use some star shaped sequins from @bornprettystore-blog as confetti being tossed in the air along with some grad caps for this mani and I love the way they sparkled.
