Sheer lace nail art

Hello!
Today I'm going to show you how to do this lace effect design using a sheer black nail polish.
You can buy one, there are a lot available on the market (for this tutorial I've used L'Oreal top coat smoky) or you can make your own mixing a clear nail polish with a few drops of simple black nail polish.
I was ispired by a blouse that I recently bought. I liked the idea of a light pink shade combined with a sheer lace design.

Fist of all I've painted all my nails with 3 coats of  Essie "Not just a pretty face". I wanted a delicate effect so I decided to do a stamping design only on two nails.

The stamping is made with Born Pretty Store plate n° 48

The next step consists in covering the design only with one coat of the sheer black nail polish.

Hope you'll like it!

That's all for now!

Arabesque nail art

Hello!

You know lately I’ve received some Born Pretty Store products, so this week I decided to play a little bit more with born pretty store plate 48. When I received his plates I was immediately fascinated by the arabesque design.

These kind of designs are my favourite because you can have a sightly different design on each finger. These designs have decorations based on rhythmic linear patterns of scrolling and interlacing flowers, foliage, tendrils or plain lines.  As you can see the design is very large  so you can decide which part of the design you want on your nails. Since the plate is well engraved and beautifully crafted,. I had no problem in picking up the image with a stamper.

I thought this was the right pattern for reverse stamping technique; with this method you can easly create coloured decals to apply on your nails. So I decided to create this nail art and play a bit more with colours: I used blue, purple, dark  yellow and glitter gold to give a 3d effect over a white base.  I’ve cut the decals in different shapes and I applied them on nails with a clear nail polish.

This is the result

I hope you’ll like it

White and gold nail art with Born Pretty Store products

Hello everyone!
Today I would like to review some products from Born Pretty Store. This is an on-line store that sells a wide range of products from clothing to make up and beauty, of course nail art tools too!!!
They were so kind to send me some products to review. I was really inspired so I decided to do a nail art with some of them and share my impressions with all of you.
Moreover you can use my coupon code at check out, you will get 10% off your order! RASX31

As base I used a Barry M polish, new Silk collection in white pearl

I was really facinated by this stamping plate
Born Pretty 48

BORN PRETTY STORE PLATE 48 (click on the name if you what to know more)

The round plate BP 48 gas a wide variety of designs: two remind me of an arabesque pattern, then a peony or a rose, a nice butterfly and a lace design. The plate is 5,6 cm (diameter); designs are very large they can fit on longer and wide nails. the plate comes with a protective blue plastic cover which prevent it from scratches and damages but it needs to be removed before stamping. The quality is very high and the design is very detailed.

I decided to stamp with the Gold Nail Art Stamping Polish Born Pretty

Born Pretty Store Gold Stamping polish is a yellow toned gold with some sparkling glitters. The formula is very thick and pigmented, for this reason it's perfect for stamping. I can say it gives a really good result even if used as a regular polish (as you can see on my pinky).

I stamped the rounded part of the arabesque over my point and ring finger, on my pinky I stamped with a white polish over the golden polish.

For index and ring finger I created an half moon and I added some ultra thin charming decoration (click if you want to know more).

These charms are very thin. I placed them on a layer of top coat. Finally I decided to add two White Pearl Flat Nail Studs (click to open the link). I love these pearls I think they give an elegant touch to the whole nail art.

You can see in this short video how easily you can apply these 3d decorations
