Design Glassware by Mount Bleu, review of Mont Bleu glass files, tweezers, compact mirror and more

When I got the chance to review some products from Design Glassware by Mount Bleu I was happy to say yes: I for a long time have wanted to test their beautiful and famous glass files!

These lovely items arrived only a few days after I replied to the email. Two glass files, tweezers, ear rings and a compact mirror - all with beautiful Swarovski rhinestones - I have my whole long life had a soft spot for Swarovski....

This beautiful compact mirror will be found in my handbag. It has two mirrors: a normal and a magnifying mirror. It comes in a beautiful box, ready to wrap for a present if needed!
See more compact mirrors HERE!

Unfortunately I cannot wear ear rings - but just look how pretty they are... They will make a great gift!
Design Glassware by Mount Bleu have a lot of different kinds of beautiful jewelry with Swarovski rhinestones - see more HERE!
Personally I fell in love with THIS RING!

This pair of tweezers is hands down the best I ever had - I love the flat part at the tip, it secures a very good grip on whatever you are using them for. I tested it on hairs, it works wonderfully!
See more tweezers HERE!

Last - but not least - the Mont Bleu glass files - a mini for the makeup purse and a normal sized. They are made of Czech tempered glass, also known as crystal.
The files come in velvet pouches - AND with a life-long guarantee on the filing surfaces!
I tested them both, and I really like them a lot - and guess what, they are really affordable (comes in many different prices) and the shipping costs are love, whats not to love about that!?!
You can use both sides of the file, and the glass is pleasantly thin and hence light. The files work very well, files the nails down quickly and leaves you with a smooth and pleasantly rounded free edge.
REMEMBER to rinse your glass file regularly to remove the nail dust. I use running water and brush it lightly with a soft brush (for dishes).

I was very satisfied with the products - and can fully agree on the text from the front page...
"We offer you not only glass nail files, but also wide assortment of lighters, compact mirrors, various types of cosmetic tools, and jewelry. Anyone including those who are very picky will be satisfied with quality and prices we offer.
To gain and save trust of clients Mont Bleu always been using only high quality materials, time-proven production technologies combined with new tendencies."

It’s So Easy® offers the basic tools necessary for nail art, most of you probably already know the Stripe Rite nail art polishes/stripers, that comes in a variety of colors. The glitters are normal polishes, but the solid and metallic colors are water based, which means that you can remove any mistake with either water or rubbing alcohol without having to start all over again.

In the following I’ll test and review the It’s So Easy Stripe Rite, Detailing Brush and Dotting Tool, a double ended tool, a angled brush in one end and a dotting tool in the other end and the rhinestones, that kindly were provided for me to test by American International Industries, thank you :)

It’s So Easy® tilbyder de grundlæggende redskaber, man har brug for til nail art, og mange af jer kender måske allerede Stripe Rite nail art lakker/striper lakker, der findes i mange forskellige farver. Glitterlakkerne er normal neglelak, men de almindelige farver inklusive de metalliske er vandbaserede, hvilket betyder at du let kan rette en fejl med vand eller propylalkohol, uden at du skal starte helt forfra med ny neglelak. Distributøren i Danmark er b4beauty.dk.

I det følgende vil jeg anmelde og teste nogle It’s So Easy Stripe Rite nail art stripers, deres Detailing Brush and Dotting Tool og rhinsten, der venligst er blevet stillet mig til rådighed af American International Industries, mange tak :)
.

These are the designs I made, first I mention the polish that is the base color and then the items used of the above mentioned.

Dette er de designs jeg kom op med, først nævner jeg navnet på lakken jeg brugte som grundfarve og siden det af det ovennævnte som jeg brugte.
#1: A-England Camelot and Stripe Rite gold + gold glitter + dotting tool

#2: China Glaze Little Drummer Boy + purple glitter + rose glitter + petite triangle rhinestone

#3: China Glaze City Siren + silver + dotting tool + tear drop rhinestone

#4: China Glaze Icicle + gold glitter + purple glitter + round rhinestone

#5: Side swipe whith China Glaze White on White + Gothic Lolita + gold + silver + black

#6: China Glaze Gaga For Green + red + yellow + silver + gold + blue + brush + dotting tool

#7: China Glaze Solar Power + red + blue + dotting tool

 

Conclusion: I already did own a black and a white Stripe Rite, and I always liked them, and I still do. The silver and gold metallics have a fantastic formula, and are SO easy to use. The blue and yellow are somewhat weak in pigmentation, but you can get around that by dabbing it on a piece of paper and mix it with the white, I didn’t because I wanted to show them as is…

The rhinestones are in pretty shapes, and the ends of the PICKerr UPerr that comes with the box create suction, when you pick up the rhinestones, that’s a really great tool. The double ended brush/dotting tool is great too, I like the angled brush. I’m however used to a finer/thinner brush, so I might end up cutting this one to make it smaller.

So all in all – thumbs up!

Konklusion: Jeg havde i forvejen en sort og en hvid Stripe Rite, og jeg har altid syntes godt om dem, og det gør jeg stadig. Sølv og guld metallic har en helt fantastisk konsistens, de er SÅ lette at bruge. Den blå og den gule er ikke specielt velpigmenteret, men du kan duppe lidt ud på et stykke papir og blande det med hvid, men jeg gjorde det ikke i dette forsøg, hvor jeg ville vise farverne som de er…

Rhistenene er i forskellige smukke faconer, og den PICKerr UPerr der medfølger skaber undertryk i de gummibelagte ender, når man trykker den mod rhinstenen, så det er et rigtigt nyttigt redskab. Pensel/dotting toolet er også dejlig, jeg kan godt li’ den vinklede pensel. Men jeg er vant til at bruge en tyndere, så derfor ender det nok med at jeg klipper den tyndere.

Men alt i alt kan jeg kun anbefale det afprøvede!
