There is a wide range of water decals and designs, I am sure you will find the right one for you.

The decals show some abstract pattern, it is inpired by nature and animals but has a minimal and boho touch. 

The design print is perfect, printed in hight resolution, lines are very sharp. 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.

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. 

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!

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.

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.

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:

Low poly nail art!

Hello!
How is your summer going? Today I have a brand new nail art to show you!
You all know I am obsessed over gometric pattern and they are my favourite in nail art!
So I end up picking stamping plates with these designs and I never get tired of them! So here is another wonderful stamping plate from Born Pretty Store.

 It is on sale now and you can have it for only 2.99. You can buy it at this link or search code # 39713
http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-stamping-template-geometry-figure-rectangle-manicure-nail-image-plate-l070-p-39713.html

 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).

The stamping technique is a huge help if you want to achieve a perfect geometric pattern, hand free drawing will be very difficult and time consuming.
This plate has so many options that I did not know where to start. It has 7  bigger pattern and the stamping plate offers an awesome array of  smaller 3D graphics and modern abstract designs .
This second half of the plate is very intersting because it replicate the "low poly" style:  is a polygon mesh in 3D computer graphics that has a relatively small number of polygons. This angular, faceted look will continue to show up outside the gaming world, in web and print projects, stationery and fashion. (A dedicated nail art will be coming soon).

In my opinion geometric patterns combine very well with bright and light colours. So as base I did a marble nails art with pastels colours.
This is before:

and after:

A great result with such a tiny effort. The options are endless with this plate.  The amount of designs are worth getting this plates, and they stamp beautifully. I was so surprised to see the intricate detail that is taken with each plate, and the entire design picks up very well.

You can mix and match different pattern as I did or just use one as an accent nails or a minimalistic style in monochrome.
I hope you like it!

Boho chic nails

Boho chic is a fashion trend that is a mix of bohemian and chic. It is part of the vintage phenomenom in fashion where the trend was to bring back old  styles for the modern era. Boho chic combines organic, colorful, detailed, folk-inspired  induments with simple, modern pieces. 
Sunshine and summertime activities always bring out my inner bohemian self and the love for light and whimstical pattern. 
I have recently received an amazing plate from Born Pretty Store (www.bornprettystore.com). This was perfect for the look that I had in mind.

If you want to buy it you can find it at this link:
http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-126cm-rectangle-stamping-template-floral-design-manicure-nail-image-plate-l051-p-36309.html

The stainless steel plate measures 6.5 x 12.5cm and have a vinyl backing for increased ease of use. Each plate comes in its own branded protective sleeve. The designs are engraved on to the image plate and covered with a protective film which needs to be removed before use.
The plate is made up by various sized designs, all representing mandalas or similar shapes, A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol. In common use, "mandala" has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents  symbolically the universe. 

I thought this plate was perfect for a boho-hippie look!
As you can see the desis are really thin and detailed.I used a white polish as base and different shades of polish mixed together to stamp. i only stamped half nail, on the other half I applied some shattered glass cellophane pieces.

Here is a small video to show how well the plate is engraved and how to create a gradient stamping effect mixing some colours on the plate.
