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.

 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

These flakes are so beautful they shift changing constantly on different light angles. They are very thin so you can use them with regular polish but I always suggest to use gel to encapsulate the design.

Tarot nails!!! Make your own Tarot with a stamping plate

 

You can create your own tarot with a stamping plate!!! Did you know that!? 

I have always been facinated by the art of Tarot even thought I am quite pragmatic girl who only believes what she sees.

The tarot (/ˈtæroʊ/, first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi or tarock) is a pack of playing cards, used from the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play games such as Italian tarocchini, French tarot and Austrian Königrufen, many of which are still played today. In the late 18th century, some tarot decks began to be used for divination via tarot card reading and cartomancy.  I know that they are used to read the future and give indications to the person asking some questions.

I would love to know more about this art but....I don't so I will keep the post just because if the aesthetic facinations that I have for Tarot. Some cards are simply beautiful and whimstical, they give a boho and dark vibe which I love.

Let's talk about the plate now!

The stamping plate I used in this nailart from Nicole Diary 162 and you can find it at @bornprettystore @bornprettystoreofficial www.bornprettystore.com

What  I love about this plate is that you can mix and match many different elements and create your own Tarot cart and stamp it on your nails. On the bottom side of the plate there is a set of card's outline and in the center parts some elements that you can place in the center of the cars.

On both sides of the stampint plates there are some full lenght designs of varius elements. I think this plate is so perfect for Halloween and wicked manis.

Thermal Sensitive gel from Born Pretty Store! Tips ad Tricks

Hello!
I have already showed you this amazing Thermal Sensitive gel from Born Pretty Store in a previous post. Today I would like to show you another nailart and share some tips and tricks with you for a perfect application.
A Thermal Senstive gel is a very very sensitive colour changing paint that can change up to 12 different colours depending on the temperature. It truly looks like magic in a pot.
Id product # 48176

The product comes in a pot that contains 2 gr of products.


After you open it for the first time it can appear a bit cakey or lumpy, it can be due to temperature, so the best way to restore it is to try to stir it, put it in a sealed plastic bag and immerge it in warm water or add a bit of warm water and stir it again.

I have just tried to stir it a little bit and it helped a lot.

The paint is in a light beige colour. It has to be used only with gel polishes and with a black base underneath.
You have to apply a good amount of products otherwise the effect will not be very visible.
I have tried to work with thin layers but I have found out that the best way to apply it is with a dotting too, so that you can form a very even and quite thick layer of product.

Another suggestion is to be patient and wait for the Thermal Sensitive to be completely dry, this means that the light beige paint will turn almost completely transparent (or starting to show the changing effect). This is can take up to five- ten minutes if you made a thick layer.

You have to secure the design with a top coat so you will encapsulate the liquid and make it durable, with no lifting.

Here is a video to show the shift from cold to hot and a very special Norther Light effect.

Here is a collage with all the shades

Here are all the colours in details (but there are others if the temperature rises up)
