Stained shattered glass! Nail tape and wax pen from Born Pretty Store



Hello!
I feel really inspired today!
I just received some products form Born Pretty Store and I wanted to use them all... well at least some of them.

The first one is this set of mermaid iridescent tape.
You can order one singular piece or all the colours: grey, purple, blue, green, pink and yellow.
Of course I wanted them all there all 3 sizes available 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm. The ones I used here are 3 mm.





This product can be used onto natural nails or false nails, with normal polish or gel.

I love how the colours are very delicate but still visible and I am in love with the iridescent effect.
These tape is self adhesive so it does not need a wet polish, it can be easilt cut in small pieces to create a beautiful shattered glass effect.

In my nail art I tried to follow the rainbow colour  from indaco to red/pink.
 Then I accentuated the shattered effect with black lines, like a stained glass effect.
For this I used a striping brush and some acrylic black paint. then I sealed with a clear nail polish.





For the ring finger I used the tape vertically across the nail and the I added some triangular holo paillettes.




The sequins are beautiful but they a bit tricky to pick up because of the triangula shape. This time I had this wonderful tool to help me: this wax pencil picker.





On one end it has a sticky wax tip that will help you to pick it up rhinestones and studs or even foil paper. Since I have long nail I have been having hard time picking up small pailettes and this tool is very useful.  On the opposite end there is a metal tool that it is meant to push onto the rhinestones or sequins to make sure it is stuck into the glue.

I really love this product, the only advice I have is that if you live in cold country or you use this product in winter you have to warm a bit the wax point with your hand.
The wax won't stain the rhinestone because it is clear.
I really appreciated the fact that the product comes in a nice hard plastic box that prevent any kind of damage and help you store it easily. you can also pick a colour: pink or this tiffany light blue, m favourite.





Boho feather nail art with stamping pen!




Hello!
Today I have an amazing product to show you, a multiple purpose tool pen that will allow you to do a complete nail art.


It is a Dual-ended pencil Gradient Stamper Sponge from Born Pretty Store.



The company was kind enough to offer a 10% discount to my readers. Just use promo code RASX31  during checkout. Shipping is free on all orders as well!




It is an amazing tool, it has a tiny stamper that stamps the tiniest details with accurate precision. It picks up small accent designs or target specific areas of larger images. The soft silicone stamper head is 0.6” (approximately 1.5cm) in diameter, so you will be able to place your design pretty accurately. . It picks up images extremely well and it is very sticky.
As you can see from the picture it has small glitters inside, super cute!





Moreover the pencil has a clear acrylic handle filled with sparkly jewels.




The opposite end of this stamper features a soft circular sponge that can be dipped it colours to create gradient and shades.

 The sponge can be taken off for cleaning, I used it only with acrylic paint and I washed it with water and soap.


I really love this product and I think it is a innovation and a must-have. You can create a whole nail art only with this tool and nothing else.

This is the nail art I have created with this.


I started with a white base, then I added a tye-dye effect with the round sponge. I dabbed a mix of pink, purple and blue acrylic paint with the sponge and I gentily pressed it onto the nails. The more you repeat this step the more the colours blends.


Then I stamped with the tiny stamper. I was able to pick the smallest images and place them with precision.


Then I sealed the designs with a matte top coat.
For stamping I used this plate here:



I decided to add some studs and rhinestones.


On the ring finger I created a triangle shape in purple and gold.


On the thumb I created a line with rhinestone, I alternated gold, purple, lilac and pink.

I was able to be so precise because once again I used a very useful tool. This dual ended gem picker . This tool simplifies nail decoration and doesn't leave residues on the rhinestones.  





I hope you'll like the result!
