Shopping on Born Pretty Store - A Guide

As I promised, here I am making an entry about how to shop on that amazing page. It's not a complicated page whatsoever, but at first can be a little bit tricky to know what to do. I hope this guide will be clear enough to help you.

To be able to shop on BPS, the first thing you should do is creating an account on Paypal if you haven't done so before. It's really easy, but if you don't know how to do it or are confused, send me a message and I'll explain it to you step by step :)

Now, let's go to Bornprettystore's page and start creating our account. Click on "Login or Join Free".


You are going to see this page. If you already have an account, on the right side you'll find the login fields. Since we are creating a new account, under "New Costumer" on the left side, we click on "Continue".


Fill all the required fields and click on "Continue"



After your account is created, you can start shopping immediately. 


To start, let's say that I want to buy a stamping plate. The ones which names start with an M, m-60 for example, are Konad copies. So if you are looking for a Konad plate, those are the ones you are looking for.


I recommend you to read the description of the items, especially of the plates, that way you'll know exactly what you are purchasing (I say this so you don't get surprised when you see that the designs on one particular plate are smaller than you thought so and don't cover your nails). Also, click on "Customer Reviews" and "Customer Images" for further references. 

Now that we are sure that we want that plate, we can add it to cart clicking on the yellow botton, or add it to our Wish List clicking on "favorite". 

That was easy, isn't it? Now comes the interesting part: Items with multiple options. 


For this example, I'll be using this pretty colorful studs. 

Rarely you'll find a product on the page that will offer you everything on the picture on the same package, so you need to pay attention to that to not get confused at the time you receive your purchases. Items with multiple options have the "Color" option, that way you'll choose which one you want. Most of the times the "colours" are numbers, marked on the picture for reference. 

From this page I want the blue studs, for example, so in "Color" I choose the number 6. Since I want 2 of them, in "Quantity" I put a 2. Now comes the interesting part (everything is so interesting about this post lol).

You need to add every colour you want to the cart as if it were an separated item. Click "Add to cart" and then the pink pup-up that'll show click on "Continue shopping" to be able to choose the other colours you want. Check your cart once in a while to make sure your items are being added. 



Sometimes, some items can come in packages, that way you don't have to keep adding item after item, especially when you want many of them. In this case you can choose a package of 6 striping tape, a package of 12 or the whole set of 30. 

Now, this is how your cart should look like. You see the same item a few times but the colours are different. 




You can buy everything on your cart or just a few items. Make sure to uncheck them all and then check the items you want to buy at the moment. When you are sure about what you want to buy, click "Checkout". 


Don't put false or incorrect information on your "Shipping Address" or you wont be able to receive your items. You are going to be paying for something that you'll never receive if you do so. Make sure everything is correct and detailed.

Now, the most important part. If you have to use a courier to be able to shop online, I recommend you to choose "Airmail Paravion w/ Tracking #" for you to be able to receive your package at your home. It's going to cost you USD$3.00 but you are going to receive your items at home without any problems. I can attest to that. 

After that, it's a matter of paying. You'll have to log into your Paypal account and accept the transaction. 

It will take from 3-5 days for your package to sbe shipped. They are going to send you an e-mail confirming it and giving you your tracking code. Also, according to what they say on their page, this is the shipping time it will take for your purchases to arrive:


Shipping time is 7-20 business days to most of countries; please view below table for exactly shipping time to your location. If there is a little delay, please be patient. Actual time can only be estimated but not guaranteed.

  • 7-15 working days to: Most of Asia countries
  •  
  • 10-16 working days to: USA , Canada , Australia , UK , Most of Europe countries
  •  
  • 13-20 working days to: Germany , Russia
  •  
  • 18-25 working days to: France , Italy , Spain , South Africa
  •  
  • 20-45 working days to: Brazil , Most of South America countries

I live in the Dominican Republic and it took my purchases almost a whole month to arrive. And they said it would/may have a delay of 1-2 weeks due to the weather. But I received my package at home, without to paying extra money on a courier, which is amazing, so I didn't mind the time it took to arrive (I was more worried about if I would received them or not)

If you have any doubt, fell free to contact me, or if you prefer, send them a message to cs@bornprettystore.com. 

Well, this is everything from my part. I hope this guide was helpful for you. Kisses and hugs from my part. Happy shopping!
