Holographic Colour Changing polish

 

A thermal nail polish is a varnish that is going to change its colour depending on the temperature of the environment.
The colour that I have chosen is number a glittery dusty burgundy in cold environment and a very glittery light  white in hot temperature.
The consistency is a bit thicker than the normal polishes I am used to and the finish is very interesting too because is glossy and shine (I also used a top coat for it).






The glitters has also holographic particles that can change colour and shift. This makes this product very interesting. 



I was very curious to try some colour changing polish because you can have two different styles in a moment, your nail polish will change throught out the day a lot of times and most of the time it will create an ombrèe effect between the two colours. It is a fast complete nail look on its own.

I really love the transition between the two colours it creates a beautiful effect and the thermal polish who can shift from dark to light are very rare.

The fact that it is a gel nail polish makes the colour changing more durable and the nail art last longer




This is how it looks when cold.



This is how it looks when hot.


Matte No wipe Top coat from Born Pretty


Matte nails have been trendy for some years right now and I am never tired of them. 

If you want your nails to be matte, you have two options:

The first is to buy special matte nail polish., your other, more economic option is to buy a matte top coat. There are many matte polish for normal polishes but a fewer options for gels.
Here it is  a vary good matte top coat for soak off gels form www.bornprettygel.com 

I think the best one out there for the price, Unlike other formulas, this one completely mattifies polish without changing its color. It looks very opaque and it is velvet at the touch, almost gummy like and the effect lasts long. 




In the bottle is looks a little bit more opaque than normal clear top coat but this is totally normal. 

It is very easy to apply and the formula is not too thick or too liquid, it does not drag the colour underneath. 

I used it over this Egg shell special polish and it gives the perfect effect for this nail art.

You can cure under the lamp (time depending on your specific lamp) and it is no wipe, perfect for a top coat.

Space girl nails!

                                           

Space nails are my favourite! This plate from @bornprettystore is more than perfect! Romance mixed with planets and stars

Stamping plate Born Pretty Wild Universe L001 #51031

 It comes in a beautiful paper sleeve and  measures (125x65 mm). It also has a plastic backing for easy, comfortable handling and a protective nylon screen.(It has to be removed before use).

I think this plate is very well edged. Each design transfers easily and was extremely sharp as you can see from the pictures.
This nail stamping plate features different space and stars related designs mixed with various human figures, lovers hugging or kissing and abstract pattern too. That allows the user to create multi-layered and multi-colored nail art designs with ease.



I think it is a clever idea to add smaller elements on the plate so you can use it on smaller nails or on your toenails.





The designs are very unique, they all look like a little pieces of art

Aurora cat eye gel polish from Born Pretty Store

Hello there!

I have recently received a package from Born Pretty Store full of new and unique items!


The item I would like to show you today is this Aurora Cat Eye Gel Polish in the colour BP-AS02 Knitted Lace  Id code #50465

There are 4 colours to choose from, all unique!



You can use my coupon code

RASX31 for 10% off on www.bornprettystore.com


This polish is already stunning used alone but what makes it special is the fact that it is magnetic/cat eye.

The cat eye polishes are called like this because you can create a shiny strip down across the middle reminiscent of the piercing, beautiful eyes of a cat.


                                           

This brand new line of Aurora cat eye polishes is a bit different because the particles are bit more dense and not only they create a beautiful line with the magnet but they also give a duochrome effect to the rest of the nails with some small holographic glitters. 

As you can see in the bottle it looks like a silver polish but as soon as you layer it over different colours it turns into magic. This one looks like a galaxy with a shooting star across it! 

The base is a normal palin black gel polish, I am sure this cat eye looks great over light colours too.




This is the most common effect for a magnet or cat eye polish, but with different kinds of magnet you can create many different nailart.

It is so fun to use these products and create different looks.

This is a sky full of clouds! Clouds nailart




Hello,
Born Pretty Store sent me some brand new products to try for you.
The first product I would like to show you is this wonderful watercolour ink paint!

As you know I have a special love for the water colours/ink effect nailart.
The technique is borrowed from the world of fine art an the result is stunning!


The brand Born Pretty Store has many products that can give this effect.

You can use my coupon code RASX31 for 10% off on www.bornprettystore.com



I did not use the blending formula for this nailart (but you can still find it on the site). The blending formula helps to spread the colour and it perfect when you want to give a smoke effect.


These  nailpolish  formula is a lot different from normal ones, it more liquind and thinner and it has a different smell.This is

It is dries quite fast so you should work quickly. It is very easy to paint the clouds because you don't have to be too precise. I try to work with less product each time so I can make layers, I think this helps to give the idea of a real cloud. You can experiment with different shapes and colours.

I used this porduct over some gel nail polish, over a glossy top coat and sealed it with another layer of top coat.

I think this white looks better over darker colours, this is why I used this glittery purple.

Eggshell nails!!!!

                                  


Eggshell nailart has been a huge trend of this late year! 

The pastel shades with the added speckled eggshell effect is the ideal Easter manicure trend, with a loving ode to mini eggs.

At first this techinique was meant to be done by hand, drawing each tiny dots or with a  wet brush techinque. 

Born Pretty Store came out with a wonderful idea, a clear gel polish with small black particles that perfectly creates this effect. I only did one layer but you can add some more product for a more dramatic look. It is a gel polish so you have to cure in the lamp and add a top coat.


You can find it at this link:

I think it is best to use a pastel or light colour with these kinds of gels. I am also curious to see how it will look with a matte top coat.

I love the fact that my nails look like tiny chocolate eggs.
