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.

Elegant coffin nails with pearl decorations

Hello!
Few days ago I found a surprise in my mail box! The online shop Born Pretty Store send me some products to try and show you.
The first item I would like to show are the mini peal 3d nail decoration. They came in a nice container, you will have approx. 120 pieces in 3 different sizes 2 mm/3 mm / 4 mm.

As you can see form the pictures the back is flat so they are very easy to apply. You can place it on the nail and use some drops of clear nail polish as glue. If you wear false nails you can go through nail glue too. Don't forget to seal your creations with top coat, so the studs will last longer.

This pearls are very elegant. Under the sun light they are iridescent and the fact that you have a wide range of sizes makes their use versatile.

In this nail art I wanted to create a chic and delicate effect.
For the nails I used the ballerina or coffin shape. For the shades I picked a matt dark blue (Kiko Velvet Satin 697 Midnight Blue) and a pearl pink for the accent nails.
While the nail polish was still wet I applied the studs with a dotting tool (if you don't have it, no problem you can use a toothpick and some clear nail polish). I placed the pearls on the bottom side of the nails and mixing all the sizes available.

I hope you enjoyed this review and this nail art!
Thanks for reading
