Crystal diamond nail polish!

Hello!
As promised today I am going to show you another amazing nail polish from Beauty Big Bang.

It is from the Crystal Diamond glitter collection and it is number 004, id J6496TM-4A.

The polishes are matte and sparkly at the same time. It's a crazy-cool look.
The best way to apply them is to layer on 1-3 thin coats of polish, in order to preserve that sugary, no-shine finish.
If you want a glossy you can apply one coat of glossy top coat.

This time I wanted a stronger colour so I used a bright red as
base. This is the result!

The shade I picked is 004 and it is a pink magenta with a touch of purple, it has a mix of silver glitters that make the effect very unique and interesting. There are a lot of others shades to try, there are two metallic colour a beautiful silver and a gold and some coloured shades such as blue, green, pink. You can find others colours here.

The polish comes in a nice bottle that contains 9 ml of products, as you can seen from the picture the brush is quite large and easy to use, it has rounded shape to help the application.

Abstract pattern! Marble or mimetic?

 Hello!
Today I would like to show you another way to use this cute plate from Beauty Big Bang.
It was super easy with this stamping plate from @beautybigbangs id code BBBS-022

 I wanted to use again this cute plate from Beauty Big Bang, the company sent me this and some other product to try.
I think it is great that they have their own production of stamping plates because it means that they will englarge their collection each season. You can find a lot of other stamping plates on their nail stamping section. 

At first I had in mind a marble design with a skin tones base and a clear white and gold but it turned out as a mimetic pattern, which I like anyway!

I am really curious to try it with other colours and see what it looks like!

First Autumn/ Winter nail art of the year

Hello!
I thought this moment would never arrive this year....the first Autumn/Winter nail art of the year!

I recently received some Beauty Big Bang items few days ago, they kindly offer me to try some products to review for you.

This time I decide to try two festive stamping plate, one is inspired to Halloween (you can see the blog post here) and the one I will show now is a winter/Christmas plate.

I really like Beauty Big Bang plates, the are very well designed and you can find a mix of anything you want for a particular theme or festivity. This plate  BBBXL-034 has a little bit of everything deer, snowflakes, Santa carrying gift, gloves to keep you warm, stars in the night, jingle bells, cute snowmans. It is a beautifully etched nail art plate, and this is simply a must-have for any nail stamping collection.

 I thought it was too early for a Chrostmas manicure so I decided to go for a Autumn/Winter nail art.

The blue I used for the base is from Mi-Ny Cosmetics it's name is Gauguin.
I also added some nail flakies around the nails both from Beauty Big Bang : gold flakes powder product IDJ2430-GD and aurora flakes J6457TM-1A.

Christmas tree nails!

Christmas is not my favourite time of the year #teamgrinch .
This year I have been minimal with decorations too.
 I found these geometric trees @flyingtigeritalia , I really like them so I thought it would be a good idea to pair them up with a nail art!

I recently got a nail mail with wonderful items form Born Pretty Store.
These triangle studs were exactly what I needed:
http://www.bornprettystore.com/boxes-chameleon-color-nail-sequins-colorful-triangle-rhombus-flakies-glitter-nail-paillette-p-41283.html

For 2.99 usd you will get 6 boxes, you can choose between two shapes: triangle and rhombus. I got the triagle of course! I received 6 different colours: green, silver/white, holographic, purple, gold rose, green/yellow. All these colours are chromatic so they have a colour shift effect that makes them very unique and festive!

Here are all colours on a thumb nail

For this nail art I used the first three colours.

As you can see from the pictures, these studs are not completely flat, but they have a nice 3d effect that gives dimentions and different light reflections.

As base I used some black glittery nail polish and on the ring finger a white snow glittery polish. On Index and ring finger I did some abstract geometry. On the middle finger I tried to recreate a tree shape with the green studs. On the ring finger there is a slightly sheer effect, I added some pearlescent white nails at the base and the tip.
The studs are really easy to apply, I used a dotting too on a wet polish, then seal it with a clear top coat.

I will use these sequins in other nail art for sure, I think they are a great deal because you get 6 boxes in different colours for a very low price. 

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.

Chamelion nail polish! Magic in a bottle!

Hello!
Today I am here to review this fantastic nail polish from Born Pretty Store. The company sent me some products to review.
They recently created a new version of their site to give their customers a better shopping exprerience and optimized functions. I really like their new simple chic design and I suggest you to take a look at it! www.bornprettystore.com

This is the most beautiful polish I have ever seen. It is magic in one bottle. The polish is made up by a clear base with some chamelion flakes. The shade shift from magenta/ red, copper to a green jade, yellow and blue it depends on the light.
In the sun light it brights a lot and the shade of the glitter flakes shifts, it looks like a rainbow!

For these kind of nail polished you have to use a base, better if it is a dark one. For this nail art I used a black polish and two coats of the chamelion shade. Then I used a glossy top coat to seal the colour.

 You can find it at this link for 4.99 product code # 39974
http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-chameleon-nail-polish-romantic-heart-fiery-love-sequins-nail-lacquer-varnish-p-39974.html

The polish comes in a nice bottle that contains 9 ml of products, as you can seen from the picture the brush is quite large and easy to use.
The best way to apply it is with a dabbing motion like any other glitter polish.

I used even for some diy project to create some unique jewelry. Here are some examples:

Valentine chevron nail art!

Hello!
It's me!
Valentine's day is just around the corner so I decided to do something love-inspired.
If you don't have time you can go for a classic red/burgundy nail polish but wanted to enrich it with some details.

For this nail art I used a chevron nail striping tape Born Pretty Store sent me.

The tape roll is self-adhesive and the strip is divided in 3 parts. You can use all of them for different results.
I find it so clever that it comes in rolls, it is different from others nail vinyls, you can trim the lenght you want and minimize any waste. you can select small pieces for your pinky or longer ones if you have long nails and want to use it vertically.

the product is very vesatile because you can use it as a sticker, you can apply it directly on the nail and seal it with clear top coat. You can use it also as a vinyls or stencil as i did in this nail art.

Tutorial:
Start by painting all of your nails with a burgundy polish. Make sure you leave it dry completely.
Take the nail chevron tape and apply it on the nail. (I applied some pieces sidelong on my index, one on the middle and three on the thumb).

Take a pink and a black nail polish and using a ake up sponge dab onto the nail on the top of the vinyls. In this way you can create a soft degrade.

Remove the vinyls with some tweezers while the polish is still wet.

As last step I painted some small hearts with a dotting tool.

As you can see the nail vinyls worked perfectly, the nail paint didn't smudge too much and the effect was great.
You can choose between 5 colours: gold, silver, blue, white, black, red.
