Holographic Nail Powder Super Shine

Hello!
This week is full of nail art reviews!
I really love holographic powder! It is such versatile invention, you can mix it in your favorite polish, use it in a top coat, dab it and cover the entire nails, you can do french nails and so on.!
I am always excited to try new powder and textures,

Few days ago I tried this new powder from Born Pretty Store. This was part of a pr sample that the company sent me.

You can find this product at this link:
http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-holographic-nail-powder-super-shine-sequins-manicure-nail-pigment-glitters-p-40866.html

I selected the colour b26 (an holographic silver shade) but on the site you have 10 colours, next time I will be very eager to try another colour such as red or green, perfect shades for Christmas.

It comes in a nice plastic container and a sponge applicator. The powder is quite flakie-like and the are dust is made up by fine glitters and bigger glitter.

I was curious to know how it looked like on nails so I decided to use it over a white base. As top coat I used a holo glitter top coat for two reasons: it will fill the gaps and it will enhance the holo refraction.
 I love the fact that is has a raw finish, similar to  sand, stucco, or rock like finish. This makes the look very unique! Another big pro of this kind of nail style is that glitters are very long lasting! You will have hard time to take them off!

Here is a small video to show the holo effect. I find it very difficult to capture with a camera the holographic effect, but believe me it is stunning in real life.

Glitter triangle tip nail art!

Hello!
In this nail art I combined two nail polishes I reviewed few posts ago!
I really enjoyed playing with them and I think that these two shades work very well together.
This look is really easy to achieve and you don't have to do it on all your nails, you can do just an accent nail if you like.

As base I used a black matte nail polish. I suggest you to let it dry completely, this is very important because the next step will be to use some tape on your nails.

The tape is perfect to create a precise triangle you can use normal tape or nail art tape. You can cut two pieces of the tape to create the shape of triangle,or any shape you want.

For thumbs and ring finger I create two triangles one inside the other, the first one with the Born Pretty Store Shell shimmer in the colour Only You , it goes from the tip of the nail untill the cuticle, and another smaller one with the Chamelion Flakie polish in the shade M12 Destiny Fairy.
On the remaining nail I made a smaller triangle and painted it with Destiny Fairy.

I think the contrast between the matt dark colour the shimmer pearlescent of Only you and the flakie polish.

Magnetic displayer review!

Hello!
I am very excited to show you a very particular tool.
It's not a nail art post this time but I am sure it will make your life easier while practicing nail painting.
It is a magnetic nail tips displayer. It is part of a serie of products that the company Born Pretty Store sent me for a review.

I think this product is brilliant, it came in a nice box and in a few seconds you have a beautiful displayer for your works and a useful tip holder for your practice sessions.
In the box you will find a clear plastic base with 5 magnet and 5 stand pieces in gold shade that makes them look similar to chess pieces.

Each tip stand has a magnetic bottom which allows it to stay attached to the clear base.

To apply the tip you can use a plastic tack, sticky putty or self adhesive tape as I did.

I made a short video to show you how to build it. As you can see it is very easy to install and unistall.

It is very light and easy to carry, the base is 11 cm x 1 cm, and each piece stand is 1,2 x 2,5 cm.

Born Pretty Store Chamelion nail polish M12 Destiny Fairy

Today I have another wonderful BornPretty nail polish to show you.
I am always looking for some interesting and altering texures to try and this nail polish is really amazing.
The shade it's called Destiny Fairy M12 and I can see why they gave it this name: because it has beautiful sparkling flakies that shift from green to purple and blue, the effect under the sun light is amazing almost magic!

This polish has a twin, a regular (non flakies) metallic duo chrome polish.

You can find both at this link:

   http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-chameleon-nail-polish-eternal-life-destiny-fairy-sequins-nail-lacquer-varnish-p-39972.html

I thought this polish would look great with another flakie one from the same brand.
This one:

I used Destiny Fairy on the tip of some black stiletto nails. I applied two coats (dab for a better effect). On the other half of the nails (only one coat).

In this way a creted a beautiful rainbow effect, I love it because the mix of these shades capture every shade of the spectrum. 

These kin of polishes are a nice thing to try especially if you are a beginner. This is a fun nail art easy to do and that will make your nails pop and draw attention.
I hopo you like it!

Born Pretty Store Only you Shell Top coat

Hello there,
I have got a new nail mail from Born Pretty Store!
They are currently celebrating their 7th anniversary and they are celebrating with a huge sale from the 10th to the 20th of October!
Check out their site www.bornprettystore.com I am sure you will find something interesting!


I suggest you to have a look at their nail polishes, lately they released their own line of nail polishes, you can find uv gel polishes, regular polish, special effect top coat, chamelion, matte, glossy, mirror, thermal, anything you had ever dreamt of!

Today I would like to show one of their more recent special top coat. It is called Only you and it is part of the "Transparent Shell shimmer collection".
The collection is made up by 5 polishes in 5 different delicate and sheer shades. The aim is to replicate the exquisit perlescent shine of a sea shell or mother pearl.
 It was very hard to pick only one and they have beautiful name too. Moonstone is a delicate blue, Moolight has red and rose pink undertones, Jade Sky has subtle green turquioise tint, Moonsky Glow has a yellow gold finish. It would be nice to get the entire collection and try a rainbow effect!

You can find the at this link:
http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-transparent-shell-glimmer-nail-polish-shiny-glitter-nail-lacquer-varnish-polish-p-40631.html

The one that I have picked is a delicate purple with a delicate yellow duochrome: Only you.
The most interesting thing about these polishes is that they give different effect on different colours.

I filmed a shot video to show you the application on different colours.

As you can see it has a very interesting formula. It transform a lot on darker shade adding a purple tint to the base, for example a matte black polish will become a pearlescent dark purple, on light colours it gives a shine and shimmer glossy finish.

I tried a before and after on white and this is the result:

At this point I was curious to try it on other shades.
These pictures show the before and after:

The polosh is a bit cloudy so it brightens up a bit every colour.
Berry burgundy-> more purple
grey/purple-> purple
green-> lighter turquoise
yellow gold-> light pearl yellow
rose gold-> pink with purple undertone

The polish has a big and rounded brush, I found it perfect for this kind of polish because you have to be careful not to leave stricky parts and make it as even as possible.

I hope you'll fin this review useful!


Let me know what you think!

Love Laura
