I was really surprised by designs and the unsual colour palette. The decals show some flowers patters and leaves, there are roses and red and pink flowers and some cute birds too.

The patterns are really elegant and perfectly painted.

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

There are many other patterns you can pick and use.

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. In my case with a matte top coat.

Let it snow! Nail art!

Bokeh effect nails

In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".

The term comes from the Japanese word boke (暈け or ボケ), which means "blur" or "haze", or boke-aji (ボケ味), the "blur quality". The Japanese term boke is also used in the sense of a mental haze or senility.[8] The term bokashi (暈かし) is related, meaning intentional blurring or gradation.

This are the pictures I took inspiration from for this nail art!






To recreate this effect I only used two brand new products from Born Pretty Store.

Here is a small video that I have filmed to show you the entire process:

I started placing the holographic round sequins first.

The jar contains 3 sizes of rounded sequins 3 mm, 2 mm and 1 mm. The shade is very particular between a silver and a holographic effect. The reson why I started with these sequins is because they are more light and reflective so they will give brightness to the bokeh effect.

Then I added these second kind of sequins.

  This second kind of sequins is made with a translucent foil (I think the one used for laser or broken glass nail art). There are 3 sizes mixed: 3mm in a green shade, 2 mm in a red shade and 1 mm in a blue purple shade.

These last item is the trick to give the nail art a realistic bokeh effect.
I place all the sequins  on wet black nail polish with a dotting tool. I try to concentrate the bigger one on the center and smaller and disperse  toward the cuticles and tips of the nails. You don't have to be too precise, if some of the dots overlap a bit is even better.

There are also others shapes avaible such as flowers, stars, hexagon, hearts, butterflies, squares.

Maybe next time I will try to recreate one of these effects:

Christmas tree nails!

Christmas is not my favourite time of the year #teamgrinch .
This year I have been minimal with decorations too.
 I found these geometric trees @flyingtigeritalia , I really like them so I thought it would be a good idea to pair them up with a nail art!

I recently got a nail mail with wonderful items form Born Pretty Store.
These triangle studs were exactly what I needed:

For 2.99 usd you will get 6 boxes, you can choose between two shapes: triangle and rhombus. I got the triagle of course! I received 6 different colours: green, silver/white, holographic, purple, gold rose, green/yellow. All these colours are chromatic so they have a colour shift effect that makes them very unique and festive!

Here are all colours on a thumb nail

For this nail art I used the first three colours.

As you can see from the pictures, these studs are not completely flat, but they have a nice 3d effect that gives dimentions and different light reflections.

As base I used some black glittery nail polish and on the ring finger a white snow glittery polish. On Index and ring finger I did some abstract geometry. On the middle finger I tried to recreate a tree shape with the green studs. On the ring finger there is a slightly sheer effect, I added some pearlescent white nails at the base and the tip.
The studs are really easy to apply, I used a dotting too on a wet polish, then seal it with a clear top coat.

I will use these sequins in other nail art for sure, I think they are a great deal because you get 6 boxes in different colours for a very low price.
