Vintage Floral nail art

Hello!!!
Happy New Year!

Just before Christmas I received an e-mail from Born Pretty Store. I am part of the affiliate program and this company always has the best nail trend items at the best price.

I really felt in love with this Flower pattern water decals .

As you can see from pictures it shows an intricate black and white floral pattern with beautiful blooms and bunches of retro florals. To tell the truth the design is in black and rest of the sticker is transparent, so you can use it on any background.

That's why a strange idea came to my mind. I could use the water decal and colour it with the reverse stamping technique.

After pluging it into water the design will separate from the paper. I placed it onto the soft head of a stamper and started colouring the flowers and the blooms with acrylic paint and a small brush.
I haven't tried with nail polishes but I guess that too much polish would melt the stickers and ruin the nail art.

So I let the acrylic paint dry. ( You realize that it's all dry because it will became matt).
Then you can use the decal as a sticker and place it onto the nail.
I secured it with a matt clear top coat.

For this nail art I used a greige purple base on all the nails and a burgundy and light peach for flowers, light green for leaves.
 

I really hope you like it!

Best wishes,

Laura

Triangle Tip Nail Brush review

Hello!
Today I have something different to share with you: a triangle tip nail brush.
I think this brush is specific for 3d acrylic decoration for example to shape petals or leaves, but I don't use acrylic or gel decorations,

I chose this brush for its fine tip, I think it can work well for basic or detailed nail art, with nail polishes or acrylic paint.
The brush is kept in a clear plastic tube, In my opinion this is a fantastic idea because I always have troubles in finding the right way to store all my brushes. Moreover it has another plastic protection for the bristles.

The colour is a nice pink and even the bristles are white and pink. The hair fiber is nylon so it's veg and cruelty free.
At first the briste appair a bit rigid but when you wet it it became more flexible and the tip very thin.

In my opinion this brush is very versatile because you can create thin or thick lines but I think it's perfect to draw flowers and leaves, mixing different shades in one stroke.
It's very easy to clean, if you use acrylic paint you can wash it with water and a delicate soap.
