Zodiac stamping plate!What's your sign?

Do you believe in astrology? I am pretty skeptical about this but I must admit I fit in the pisces stereotipe good qualities: imaginative, kind, sympathetic and the bad ones too: secretive, indecisive, lazy.

This being said, I find a zodiac stamping plate a great idea, it has stars and constellations (my favourite subject for a nailart!) and you can make very personal and customize nailart with your sign, ascendant, or your partner one.

This plaite is the Harunouta Nail Stamping Plate id code # 46677
The plate is made of high quality stainless steal which ensure the high quality of the product.
Deep and precise carving give  better stamping effect than normal stamping plates.
It has two images for each sign, one more stilized, just an outlined drawing and the other ones a full figure. It has the constalation for each sign and also some sky and universe related images.

For stamping I used BP-WT04 called "The noon sunshine". It is the perfect "blue Tiffany shade" a light blue with a touch of green. Very delicate and bright at the same time.

Here it is how it looks if used as a normal polish, still gorgeous!

I already talked about this magnific magnetic pearlescent nailpolish . the colour is  BP-PM04 Lycoris Radiata #45718. A beatiful grey with a touch of blue.

With this polish I used the cat eye dual ended magnetic stick

I thought this was the perfect base for a space nailart!
On 20 July 1969 the Apollo 11 landed at Tranquillity Base. Neil Amstrong made history by becoming the first person to walk on the moon. "If you believed they put a man on the moon".
I wanted to celebrate this important event with a space related nailart!

I recelntly bought this amazing stamping plate from Born Pretty Store Outer Space series plate number L001. It is so unique!
This plate is so whimstical, it has planets and the moon, kawaii desings of astronauts and even a cat and more artistic desings that feature space and stars, space background with animals.

I particularly liked the image of the wolf howling at the moon, on the middle finger it is in negative space and shows the cat eye blended effect of the polish and. On the pinky there is a similar design of a wolf in positive space but smaller.
 For the index and ring finger I choose some galaxies with planets and stars.

My favourite is the thumb:

A mountain surrounded by planets.

For stamping I used I used BP-WN03 black stamping polish.

As top coat I used the amazing No smudge Top coat. I really wanted to try this revolutionary product! And guess what!? big spoiler! It works! It does not smudge or ruin the stamping. Many top coats drag the staping polish ruining the image or making it dull. In fact I was avoiding using top coat on dark stamping polishes and for this reason the design chipped after a few days because the protecting layer was missing.
This top couat not only will add a shiny layer to your manicure but it will also protect it from chipping and make it last longer.

This top coat is also recommended for chrome/mirror polishes, holographic polishes and nail foil. 

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.

Silver stamping polish from Born Pretty Store!

Hello!
Today I have some new products to talk you about.
This new year resolution is all about improoving my stamping skills, so I am trying different products to make this process as easy as possibile.

If you’re into nail stamping, you know the struggle of finding reliable stamping nail polishes, some might work with some stampers and not with others, others works only on light shades.

In the last few months I have been trying some stamping polishes from Born Pretty Store (stamping thermal polish reviews in this post and this post) so I decided to order many others colours to test them with different plates.

I have tried 3 shades of the collection BP-WN04 Pure (the white),BP-WN03 Throne  (the black), BP-WN02 Time Fly (the silver).

You can use my coupon code at check out to get 10% off RASX31 on www.bornprettystore.com

They all come in a 9ml bottle with a brush applicator, all of them are very pigmented, are ideal for stamping over dark colours and only require one coat. they are all opaque and this is a plus in stamping polish because matte formulations transfer very good on the stamper.

I am positively surprised by these polishes, the first one I am going to review is the one called BP-WN02 Time Fly , it is a beautiful chrome silver, very shining and rich.

For this shade I wanted a modern and geometric design. I used this plate and this plate number BPL-027

I used a blue polish with a flakies top cat as base as I feel that's the best way to see how pigmented this shade performs.

.I'm very impressed with this silver stamping polish as it offers amazing colour payoff, it is almost like a mirror chrome!
The designs tranfer perfectly,  you can see how clean the stamped designs is, no matter how intricate the stamping plate.

Hidden Winter nail art!

Hello!
Another Winter/ Festive nail art.
This one has a special touch, a hidden nail art design.

For the two blue nails I used a thermal polish from Born Pretty Store.
you can find it here (many others colours available)

I paint all the nails with the thermal polish and then I stamp over it with a very similar colour.
It is hidden because when your hands are cold it looks like a normal plain blue nail polish but when your nails are warm the nail polish turns light blue and it reveals the festive design.

For stamping I used the BBBXL-034 stamping plate from Beauty Big Bang
