I am really in love with this kind of polishes, they always reminds me of outer space and galaxy, Magnetic polishes are a magical invention. With the power of a magnet, some pigments of the color are attracted to areas of the nail, and with movement and different viewing angles, shift colors and location on the nail for a futuristic 3D effect.

How to use it? It is very simple

Paint your nail with your favourite base polish and base colour.

As a second coat apply the magnet polish. Immediately after application, hold magnet 1/4 inch away from nail at an angle.  Hold magnet over nail for 15-30 seconds. 

The longer and closer you hold the magnet over the polish, the more pronounced the pattern will be.

Repeat with a third coat if desired, holding magnet in the same place as previously held.
 As polish dries, pattern will spread out a bit.  The longer you hold the magnet when drying, the less it will spread.

Madam Glam cat eye gel polish! Galaxy in a bottle! Surprise for you!

Hello!
Today I have some new amazing product to show you!
A few weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely Andreea from Madam Glam link here ( https://madamglam.com/?utm_source=yt-Laura30 ).  They kindly offered me to try some of their products for a review. I immediately said yes!

If you haven't heard about this brand, it is a New York based brand, offering vegan, cruelty-free and super healthy products.

They have worked hard to create the formula of gel polishes, that is cruelty-free, 5 free and vegan, in hundreds of colors and variations: thermal gels (we call them chameleons, they change color depending on temperature), cat eye gels, one-step & many more!

I was truly amazing by the large range of products and colours, creative formulas such as one step gels, and metallic hybrid, finishes and competitive prices.

They set me a starter kit with one base coat,, one top coat no wipe, two colours at my choice and a lamp. I t was so easy and fast to use. the tow shades are amazing and I higly recommend this company and these products!

They also sent me some tool for removal and the magnet for the cat eye nail polish, the shipping was super fast, the packaging box is very elegant, there were also instruction on how to use the products.

It was my first time with gel polishes and I had no problem at all, everything worked perfectly, the process was simple and fast.

The first shade I would like to show you is and amazing cat eye gel polish "Galactic Mist".


It is a magnetic nail polish, a new trend in nail design that uses iron filings in the polish that respond to a magnet to form different shapes and effects on the surface of the nail. You need a magnet to make it work so please don't forget to buy one.

On the Madam Glam website, they suggest to apply the gels on a black base. I actually  applied the gel on some dark burgundy tips and the result was amazing.

I really like the formula, it is very pigmented the iron particles are quite dense, so they usually sink to the base layer of the polish as it’s applied. When you place the magnet over the nail, the iron particles rise toward the surface and stay there due to the curing effect of the UV lamp.

Compared to others normal magnet polishes I think the cat eye effect is a lot more visible and effective.
I really like the colours, the base is a blue tones purple  and the iron filing pigment is a golden orange. The magic galaxy in a bottle is here, it really looks like a bound system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter. I think this affect is amazing and I am never tired of looking at it!

These are the instructions on their site:

Instructions:
1. After base coat applied and cured apply one layer of black gel polish and cure.
2.Shake your Cat Eye bottle
3. Apply one layer of your cat eye color. DO NOT CURE!
4. Hold the magnet stick close to the nail in the position where you want the 3D effect
5. Once you have the effect you want, cure under LED (30sec.) or UV Lamp (2min.)
6. Apply top coat and cure. Your Cat Eye Nails are ready with an awesome 3D effect.
 You can create multiple effects by repeating the steps and holding the magnet in different positions over your nails.

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!

Freehand abstract nail art with striping brush from Born Pretty Store

Hello!
as promised another nail art and another review for Born Pretty Store .

I decided to try again a different striping brush with a dual ended dotting tool: 2 Way Plastic Dotting & Liner Brush Pen  id # 8790  . This time a did a more simpler a free hand design. I decided to use this brush with nail polishes to see how it worked.


The structure of the pencil is very simple and sturdy, it is in white plastic with blue details. The striping brush is a bit more thick that the one I used in this post, that's why I decided to use it with nail varnish.

The bush bristles look very flexible and durable, after the nail art I cleaned it with nail polish remover and water, it came back exactly as before.

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!

On the other end the pencil has a medium sized dotting tool, so I thought it would be a good idea to use them combined and see if I can create a nail art.

I started with a matte black base then a randomly added some lines across the nails. The trick is to dip the brush once in the polish and move rapidly onto the nail.
I used a glittery duo chorme from an old limited collection from Kiko, it shift form iridescent blue to purple. It gives the lines a nice shading, Then I added to dots with a dotting tool, I used a Born Pretty Store nail polish that I really love: it is called Only you and it is from the Transparent Shell Glimmer collection you can find it here .

It 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 on black it looks like and iridescent purple/pink.
