Pearl cat eye nailpolish from Born Pretty Store

Hi everyone!

Today I have a magnetic cat eye gel polish from Born Pretty Store to share with you. This wasn't my first time trying a magnetic polish but it is my first time trying a pearlescent cat eye polish.

This shade is very beautiful, it is a pearlescent dark blue/silver, very unique and elegant! It is called Lycoris Radiata.
It is named after a beautiful flower known also as red spider lily, red magic lily, or equinox flower, is a plant in the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. Originally from China, Korea, and Nepal, it was introduced into Japan and from there to the United States and elsewhere. The blue version of this flower reminds me of the nail polish shade!

There are other 10 shades to choose from and I am sure you will find something you'll like!

I used this nail polish over a black base, the formula is quite thick and pigmented. I only needed two layers of product and I used a cat eye magnetic stick while the second layer was still wet and I placed the magnet over the nail for 15-20 seconds.

I used the dual ended magnetic board, it gives a strong 3d magnetic effect and can be easly oriented to create the image that you desire.
 No surprise it is a best selling on the Born Pretty online store!
It is long and easy to hold.
There is a rectangular magnet on one end, and a round magnet on the other. The side of the rectangle magnet can be used to create lines, while the round magnet can create more fluid wave and circle patterns (this is the best if you want to create a space nebula illusion).

In this nail art I used the rectangular end diagonally to create a lighter effet all across the nail.
The magnet creates a lighter silver line over the nail, it tends to spread a bit after the polish is dried but it is still visible and it creates a wonderful gradient effect.

Chamelion nail polish with duo-chrome flakies!

Hello there,
I recently received a nail mail from the online shop Beauty Big Bang.

Beauty Big Bang is an online store where you can find nail supplies and and make up. They have a wide range of products and they offer free shipping worldwide. The company is based in Asia and the shipping time are around 3-5 weeks, you can pay with paypal.

The first product I would like to show you is this beautiful Duochrome Chamelion nail polish.
 The polish is made up by a clear base with some chamelion flakes. The shade shift from purple, magenta pink 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 very dark burgundy polish and two coats of the chamelion shade. I did not use a top coat but I would be interesting to see how it will look with a matte top coat.

You can find it at this link for 4.99 product code J6426TM-9A
https://www.beautybigbang.com/products/9ml-purple-duochrome-glitter-nail-polish-chameleon-nail-lacquer-varnish-009

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.
The best way to apply it is with a dabbing motion like any other glitter polish.

Asian style nailart!

Hello!
I have recently received a nail mail full of wonderful goodies from Born Pretty Store.

If you're not familiar with Born Pretty Store, they're an online store and they offer beauty and nail art supplies. The store offers inexpensive items and free worldwide shipping with no minimum purchase required. I love Born Pretty and have been buying their products for years.

The first product I would like to show you is this layered stamping plate Chinese Style #45508.


You can use my coupon code RASX31 for 10% off on www.bornprettystore.com

This plate is called Chinese style, in fact the plate is clearly inspired to the traditional chinese art, a painting style that involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy and is done with a brush dipped in black ink or coloured pigments. Landscape painting was regarded as the highest form of Chinese painting, and generally still is, this plate has rolling hills and rivers of their native countryside, sea waves, birds, fishes and animals.

The style is very minimal and each scene is drawn with strong lines, ink wash, or sharp brush strokes.
I decided to use a dark matte blue as base and use other two colours: white and gold.

The plate is very well engraved and I had no problems in picking up the images.

The stamping polishes are both from Born Pretty Store, the gold is  BP-WN01 In Fire, and the white is BP-WN04 Pure,  They stamp perfectly and they are my favourite stamping polishes so far.

Coral flowers nail art! Beauty Big Bang Flower Design Nail Stamping Plate review

Hello there!

This year Spring is not arrived yet, it is a bit cold and rainy all the time. So I tought it wold be a nice idea to chear me up with a floral nail art.

I am trying to experiment more with colours and texures out of my comfort zone. 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.  

The plate I would like to show is plate number 10 the Flower Design Nail Stamping Plate J6 401TM-4A  and the ID code to find it is J6401TM-4A  or you can simple click here.

Ciao a tutti!
Quest'anno la Primavera si sta facendo aspettare, fa ancora un po' freddo e piove spesso. Per questo motivo ho pensato di tirarmi un po' su di morale con una nail art a tema floreale.
Sto provando a sperimentare di più con colori e texures inusuali. Oggi avevo voglia di utilizzare di nuovo questa piastrina per stamping di Beauty Big Bang, un negozio online che molto gentilmente mi ha spedito questo ed altri prodotti da provare. Sono contenta che questo brand abbia anche una produzione propria di stamping plate perchè significa che la collezione verrà arricchita ogni stagione . Potete trovare le loro placchette per stamping nella sezione nail stamping del sito.
Quella che voglio recensire oggi è la numero 10 the Flower Design Nail Stamping Plate e il codice identificativo per trovarla è J6401TM-4A  o semplicemente cliccate qui. 

 The site has a free shipping worldwide, they also make very nice offers too and, if you need some extra help, you can use my discound code LAURA  for 10% off  on your order

The plate is very beautiful, it has six floral designs, some a more stylized and other more realistic, I think they made happy any flower lovers with this tiny and cute plate. The plate measures  approx. 6*6cm, the images are larger and longer enough to fit larger and longer nails.

The plate comes in a nice paper sleeve and has a blue protective film that needs to be removed before use. The designs are very well engraved on to the stainless steel image plate, images are precise with sharp edges. I had no trouble picking them up.

La placchetta è molto bella, ha sei disegni floreali, alcuni più stilizzati altri più realistici. Credo che la scelta del design di questa piccola placchetta renda felice qualsiasi amante dei fiori. Misura circa 6 x 6 cm e i disegni sono grandi abbastanza per le unghie di tutte le misure.

La placca è contenuta in una confezione di carta e ha una pellicola protettiva blu che deve essere rimossa prima dell'uso. La decorazione è incisa molto bene sulla superficie di acciaio inossidabile, le immagini sono precise e dai contorni netti. Non ho avuto nessun problema a trasferire l'immagine sullo stamper.

   There are roses, daises, primroses, pansies too I think. 

In the last post I tried the daisies design. Today I wanted some more wild flowers on my nails.  

As you can see the designs are various and versatile, suitable to countless manicure ideas and it is great for coloured nail art and reverse stamping techinique. 

Ci sono rose, primule e viole del pensiero credo.

Nell'ultimo post ho provato il decoro con le margherite. Oggi volevo altri fiori selvatici sulle mie ugnhie. Come potete vedere i decori presenti su questa placchetta sono vari e molto versatili, si possono realizzare infinite nail art a credo sia perfetta per manicure colorate le tecnica di stamping avanzato (o reverse).

 I stamped with the Metal Nail Art Stamper & Scraper (J2914TM-1A ) and then I coloured some flowers with reverse stamping technique.

Ho usato come stamper il Metal Nail Art Stamper & Scraper (J2914TM-1A ) e in seguito ho colorato alcuni fiori con la tecnica di stamping avanzato.

 Here is a picture of the reversed stamping, I filled some flowers with a bright coral nail polish.

I decided to use a pastel colour palette with light blue and light coral and peach tones. In particular I used two nail polishes from P2, they are from the crisp collection and they are texured, moreover they have some small sable particles in different colour. They are very interesting. I also addes two drop shaped stud in a bright orange.

Come ho già anticipato, ho usato una palette di colori pastello con azzurro chiaro, corallo e toni pescati. In particolar ho usato due smalti del brand P2, sono della collezione "crisp" e hanno una particulare texure ruvida con particelle in diversi colori. Sono molto particolari. Ho aggiunto anche due borchiette a forma di goccia in un color arancio brillante.

Hello!
Today is another nail art day!
Recently I have received some new products for the Born Pretty Store .

Dream catcher nail has been really on trend this year, many tried a free hand drawings and some companies made some stamping plates inspired buy this object and his symbolic use.

A dreamcatcher  is a handmade willow hoop, on which is woven a net or a web. The dreamcatcher may also include sacred items such as certain feathers or beads. Traditionally they are often hung over cradles as protection. It also know as the "spider web charm". Today the dreamcatcher is associated with Native American culture.

I really felt in love with this plate from Born Pretty Store, it shows a big dream catcher at the center and other two on the left and on the right. The remaining space is filled with designs such as feathers cristals and arrows. 

You can buy at this link for 2.99 usd.

The plate comes in a nice paper sleeve and has a blue protective film that needs to be removed before use.

The design is really well engraved and every stamper that I have picks the image very well with no problem. 

For this nail art I used a black matte polish as background than I added some purple, light blue and pink creating a smoke or marble effect on three nails and an entire nail on the index.

I stamped with some gold over the black nails and with some black polish over the marble blue/purple index.

On the ring finger I decided to do something different, I applied these wonderful trialgle sequing in two shades: chrome purple and chrome gold.

 It is very easy to apply them with a dotting tool over a wet nail polish.

These sequins are part of a collection of 6 colours, all wonderful! There is also another shape available (rhombus). Click this link if you want to have a look at it:
