Burgundy lace nails! Beauty Big Bang nails



Hello!
Welcome back for another post on my blog.
This blog post is about this gorgeous lace nail art plate from Beauty Big Bang the product ID is XL-015 (id product BBBXL-015).
It is a beatiful plate that features all very detailed lace images.



What I like the most about this plate is that it has 14 different images with different designs, some are flower pattern  and others are geometric or abstract but they are all very elegant.

The plate measures 6*12cm and the images are quite large so they will fit even longer nails.
It cames in protective paper sleeve with the brand name on it and like any other plate it has a blue film that has to be removed before use.





The plate is very well engraved and it picks up every image perfectly, make sure you use a pigmented polish for stamping.

For my nail art I decided to use the nails I used as swatches in the previous post, I used different colours and as top coat I used the Misty Rose Shiny Mermaid Shell Nail Polish.
In this case different colours can give a bit variations on a plain stamping.






I really like the design on the middle finger it has a nice retro vibe, like a a 60ies wallpaper. I decided to stamp with a a metallic dark burgundy from Kiko.
I really like the result and I think this plate is a must have if you love lace design, it can be wonderful for a wedding nail art in white or for a sexy Valentine nail art in black or red. You can create a huge variety of gorgeous nail art designs.

Beauty Big bang gold flakies

Hello there!
I was contacted by the company Beauty Big Bang and they kindly offered me some products to try and review!
Beauty Big Bang is an online store where you can find nail supplies and and make up. They have a wide range of products and they offer free shipping worldwide. The company is based in Asia and the shipping time are around 3-5 weeks, you can pay with paypal.

Ciao a tutti,
recentemente sono stata contatta dall'azienda Beauty Big Bang che mi ha gentilmente inviato dei prodotti da recensire.
Beauty Big Bang è un negozio online dove si possono trovare strumenti ed accessori per nail art e cura della persona. Hanno una scelta di prodotti molto ampia e offrono spedizioni gratis in tutto il mondo. L'azienda ha sede in Asia e i tempi di spedizione variano da 3 a 5 settimane, si può pagare comodamente con paypal.


The first product I would like to show you is a gold flakes powder. These gold flakes (product IDJ2430-GD) currently retail for 1.61 euros and come in gold and silver.
I have used gold foil before but I was surprised to see how gold and bright these flakes are!

Il primo prodotto che vorrei mostrarvi è una polvere di scaglie dorate per ugnhie. Questo prodotto (IDJ2430-GD) al momento costa 1,61 euro e si può scegliere tra la versione dorata e la versione argento.
Ho già usato precedentemente della foglia d'oro per nailart ma sono stata piacevolmente colpita da questa versione molto più brillante e realistica.


The product comes in a nice jar that contains 0,2 gr of flakes and a double sided sponge applicator.
The flakes are extremely thin so you won't have problems for the application. They can be used with normal nail polishes and gel polishes as well.
You can buy the product at this link:

The application is very easy. You can dab the powder over a base nail polish. If you use the sponge applicator is very importsnt that you dab the product over a tacky polish. It has to be not completely wet but a bit sticky. When you are satisfied with the design you can seal it with a clear top coat.

L'applicazione è molto facile. Potete tamponare i glitter su una base di smalto. Se usate l'applicatore in spugna è molto importante che lo smalto non sia asciutto del tutto ma ancora leggermente umido. Quando sarete soddifatti con il risultato non dimenticare di fissare la nail art con un top coat trasparente



These nail flakes look so saturated and realistic that remind of gold leaf used on ceramics, that's why I decided to create a gradient base with a fan brush. The first version is in a rich shade of light blue.

It is very easy to achieve this look. I started with a white base. Then I used a fan brush, I dipped half of the brush in a white acrylic paint and the other half in a light blue paint.  You can swipe the brush across your nails, you can repeat this step many times to blend the colours together. In this case I didn't wanted it to be exemely precise and let the brush strokes visible.
Once the design has dried you can add a coat of nail polish and apply the gold flakes. I dipped a dry brush in the flakes jar and let them fall on the wet nail polish. then I sealed again with a clear top coat.
 Here is a small video to show you how to achieve this design:





La foglia d'oro è molto brillante e realistica, mi ha ricordato quella usata per decorare la ceramica. Per questo motivo ho deciso di creare una nail art in blu sfumando il colore gradualmente con un pennello a ventaglio. 
è molto facile realizzare questo effetto. Sono partita da una base bianca, poi ho intinto metà del pennello in un colore acrilico bianco e l'altra metà nel blu. Ho passato il pennello sull'unghia ripetutamente fino a sfumare i due colori. In questo caso non volevo essere troppo precisa ma lasciare che le pennellate si vedessero. 
Quando il primo strato è asciutto potete aggiungere dello smalto trasparente e passare all'applicazione della foglia dorata. Ho prelevato un po' di prodotto con un pennello e l'ho lasciato cadere in modo sparso sullo strato di smalto ancora bagnato. Infine ho fissato il tutto ancora con un top coat trasparente.






You can try different colours. In this variation I tried some pastels and seald the design with a matte clear top coat. As you can see the gold flakes did not lose their shine.

Potete provare colori divesi. In questa variante ho usato alcuni colori pastello e un top coat matte, come si può vedere dalle foto l'oro non ha perso brillantezza.

Born Pretty Store flakies review!

Today I have a super sparkling review for you!
The company Born Pretty Store has been so nice to send me some products to try for you.
It is a set of 5 boxes of iridescent flakies!
I have tried iridescent flakies before and I love them. these ones are a bit different because the flakies are smaller and in the set you will have all colours available.

They all comes in nice jars that contains approx. 1g of products.
 In the jar they all look pretty the same, a white iridescent colour with a delicate hint of colour but I the effect on different base colour is amazing!



It is very easy to use this product:
They don't require a special base or top coat  but it is recommended to use these flakies over a dark nail polish for a more vivid effect.
Apply a layer of gel or regular polish and while it is still sticky add flakies on top using a fan brush or the little sponge you find in the box (it looks like an eyeshadow applicator).   Maybe you should let the polish dry for a few a minutes.  The polish should be tacky but not completely wet.  I then dipped my  brush into the pot of flakies and then dabbed onto my nail. If you don't have a brush you can use your fingertip.
Apply a thick layer or two of your favorite top coat to finish.
You can use matte or glossy top coat.


Each one will have a different colour shift




Can't decide which is the best top coat for this nail style.



As you can see on black the colour shift is amazing.

                                                        A beautiful jade green

                                                               an amber yellow

                                                      a deep blue purple

                                            a beautiful duochrome light purple and green


The last jar is not iridescent but it is pure holo!




If you decide to give this product a try please don't forget to use my coupon code, it will give you another 10% off:    RASX31 on www.bornprettystore.com

You can buy it here:
https://www.bornprettystore.com/boxes-holographic-silver-irregular-iridescent-flakies-nail-sequins-colorful-glitter-paillette-p-41684.html

It took almost few seconds you will have way more flakies than you could get with a flakie top coat nail polish.  You can see how the flakies vary in size which gives a really nice effect.

Gold and black nail art!





Hello!
I recently received a brand new nail mail full of wonderful products from Born Pretty Store.
When I opened the package I was very surprised by how shine and gold they looked.
I wondered for a while what colour to use with them but then I decided to go for a simple black and an accent matte gold nail.

 The sheet contains also others patterns: two geometric intricated designs and a vertical chain like stickers.



I feel in love with this geometric mosaic pattern in gold and white. The sheet is approx 11.6 cm x 9 cm. It is enoght for several full manicures.
You can buy it here.
There are others six patterns available all geometric and in gold and white!
If you decide to give these stickers a try please don't forget to use my coupon code, it will give you another 10% off:    RASX31 on www.bornprettystore.com



These stickers are very easy to use. I prefer applying them on a dried base colour.
You have to be very careful when you apply the sticker because it might leave some air bubble.
To make sure the nail art will last long you have to apply a top coat. In this case I applied a matte top coat. I think the matte gives this nail art a modern touch!




Then I tried to change a bit this nailart by adding a marble effect on some nails. I used black, white and gold acrylic paint on a white base, I mixed the shades randomly with a thin brush.

I hope you like the result!

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:
http://www.bornprettystore.com/boxes-chameleon-color-nail-sequins-colorful-triangle-rhombus-flakies-glitter-nail-paillette-p-41283.html

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.
