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.

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.

Silver Chrome nails with a cushion pen from Born Pretty Store

Chrome nails are one of the biggest nail trends since 2017 and now you can get the latest chrome powder nails very easily with no expensive appintment at the nail salon.


This effect is achieved with some special powder that provides a mirror-like shine that lasts.

The powder normally came in a pot with a sponge applicator. This method was easy but sometimes some of the powder was lost durind the process.

This year Born Pretty Store came out with this new cushion pen, it is so easy to use and the powder did not fly everywhere like usual.

On one side you habe a sponge applicator and on the other side (inside the pen) there is the pressed powder. They made this process very fast and easy!



I picked number 10 a beautiful silver colour great for this season, but they have many others amazing colours. he stunning range of Chrome nail powders includes Silver, Gold, Gold Rose,Pink, Purple, and even inirdescent colours.



 All the chrome nail powders can be used over clear gel nail basecoat for a lighter effect, or with a base gel colour to create a wide range of effects, the darker the base colour the darker the Chrome effect will be! Here I used a dark blue colour as base and no wipe clear top coat.

Floral nails for Christmas

 

A simple and easy idea for festive nails!

These are water decals! So cool and fast to use! You can find them at www.bornprettystore.com

I was really surprised by designs and the unsual colour palette. The decals show some flowers patters and leaves, there are roses and red and pink flowers and some cute birds too.

The patterns are really elegant and perfectly painted.

The design print is perfect, printed in hight resolution, lines are very sharp and colour are vivid. I am a huge fan of water decals in general! They are super easy to use and you can spice up your nails instantly with intricate looking designs. They are also a great alternative to stamping when you want a professional look in a few minutes.

There are many other patterns you can pick and use.

The application is very easy.

The waterdecals are protected by a transparent sheet. You can select the size and the design you want, cut it with a scissor. Don't forget to remove the plastic sheet. Cut out the section of decals, and let it soak in room temperature water for about 15-30 seconds, slide the decals off the paper backing with tweezers and place on the nails with the white or nude base coat

The instructions suggest to place it on  the nail and dry with a tissue. The last step is to secure it with clear nail polish. In my case with a matte top coat.

Aurora powder in yellow from Born Pretty Store

 








Hello,

today I would like to show you another product from Born Pretty Store.

It is an iridescent powder I have already tried before, but I was curious to try it in another colour, this bright yellow is perfect for Holydays.

You can use my coupon code

RASX31 for 10% off on www.bornprettystore.com

The powder I used in this nailart is in the colour CH-04

Id product #47413

I have decided to try it over a french manicure so that the effect would be more visible.

It very easy to use.

After the french manicure with gel polishes I used a no wipe transparent top coat and cured it under a uv lamp.

Then I used a make up sponge to apply the powder, it created an iridescent glossy effect. Brush off excess powder.

The last step is to secure the nailart with another layes of no wipe top coat.

I was right to try this colour too, the yellow over pink looks amazing!

Vanitas on nails!


This stamping plate with skulls, skeletons and flowers reminds me of the Vanitas: a genre of still life painting that flourished in the Netherlands in the early 17th century. It included various symbolic objects designed to remind the viewer of their mortality and the worthlessness of wordly goods and pleasures.

A vanitas painting, while possibly containing lovely objects, always included some reference to man's mortality. Most often, this is a human skull (with or without other bones), but items like burning candles, soap bubbles and decaying flowers may be used for this purpose as well.
