As base for this nail art I used a set of  600Pcs Round Head Full Cover. id product J3160-2C

They came in a bag that contains 600 nails in 10 different sizes from 0 to 9. Nails are divided by sizes and you will have extra nails in size 4 and 5 because I think they are the most common sizes.

I have these nail in the transparent version and I decided I wanted to try these in white too. You can wear them as they are or use them as a white base for your nail arts or to practice your skills in free hand paintings.

You can use these to add length and salon strength to your nails instantly. These nails are easy to polish as desired. The shaoe is rounded and very natural but you can also easly shape them and cut them.

What I like about these nails is that they are soft, pliable nail bed for a great fit with a stronger tip to last.
They are flexible, comfortable nails mean longer wear and and a more natural look.

I prepared a base making a gradient with some dusty pink . I was very easy because the nails were already white.

Then I created a glow in the dark transparent polish with a luminous powder J2103-1A and a clear base coat.
Have a look to a previous blog post here: glow in the dark diy polish.

Then I stamped using a dark burgundy colour.

This is how it look in the dark.

This is how it looks on natural light

Set of clear false nails!

Hello!
A few posts ago I shared with you my dirty little secret about nails:
I sometimes use false nails.
I used to have perfect and strong nails but for medical reasons my natural nails became brittle, thin, and awful. I don't want to stop doing nail art so I am always happy to try new set of false nails to find the perfect shape for me.

If you are a 90s kid like me you probably remember the first branded press on nails on the market, they were tragic and not so easy to wear, not natural looking at all.
False nails have come such a long way and they became the perfect compromise between beautiful and comfortable.

I have received this set of 600 nails to review from the online shop www.beautybigbang.com
They came in a bag that contains 600 nails in 10 different sizes from 0 to 9. Nails are divided by sizes and you will have extra nails in size 4 and 5 because I think they are the most common sizes. The size range is perfect and you will have 10 sizes to choose from so you can find the artificial nail that is the closest to the size of your natural nail.

You can even choose a colour:
 - transparent if you like to paint them with sheer nail polish or want to try a french manicure or french nailart.
- natural a sheer, milky white beige, the perfect base for light or nude colours
- white if you need a base for nail art or want a fast and easy nails-to-go

I went for the transparent ones this time because I thought they were more versatile.

The shape is a nice oval not too short and not too long, it can be easly shaped with scrissors or a file, the nails are quite flexible at the base and a bit more strong at the point.

I personally like false nails that are flexible enought to adjust to the curve of the natural nail. 

How to apply:

you can decide to paint the nails after or before wearing them. It's up to you!

When you're ready to glue the nail in place, cover the back of the artificial nail with the  glue and cover the top of your natural nail with glue. Be sure you cover each surface completely with glue or you will be able to see air pockets through the false nails after you've applied them. Hold the artificial nail on top of your nail for 5 seconds and it's glued.

This is how they look with nail polish and nailart

Set of white stiletto nails! Review

Hello there,
this blog post is addressed to all of those people who tried many thing buy never succeded in having their nails on point! If you tried gel nails, shellac, acrylic nails and you nails got ruined or cracked and breaked anyway, you should consider trying press on nails.

I know many of you would turn their nose up but things have changed.
If you are a 90s kid like me you probably remember the first branded press on nails on the market, they were tragic and not so easy to wear, not natural looking at all.

I really wanted to try these white pointy nails. They came in a bag that contains 600 nails in 10 different sizes from 0 to 9. Nails are divided by sizes and you will have extra nails in size 4 and 5 because I think they are the most common sizes.

You can even choose a colour:
 - transparent if you like to paint them with sheer nail polish or want to try a french manicure or french nailart.
- natural a sheer, milky white beige, the perfect base for light or nude colours
- white if you need a base for nail art or want a fast and easy nails-to-go

I picked white of course!
The size range is very large the larger nail is 2,5 cm long and 1,4 cm wide, the smallest is 0,7 cm wide.

The shape is the classic stiletto, hte point is not as sharp as some other nails and I think it makes them more elegant and easy to wear. You might need a bit of filing to even the point or the edges but they are ready to wear.
You can apply them with some nail glue or nail tabs if you want to reuse the nails.

How to apply?
-Remove any nail polish. Clean and dry your natural nails.
-Find perfect size for each finger. File sides if too large or long.
-Apply a thin layer of nail glue to the underside of the nail tip.
-Apply the nail near your cuticle and hold in place for a few seconds.

They are quite sturdy and a bit flexible on the base so the can adjust to the natural curve of your nail beds.
You can also change the shape easily by cutting and filing. From this stiletto shape you can do a coffin/ballerina shape in just two steps (I will show you in another blogpost) or do an oval or square shape.

Here is how they look on hands. Amazing right?

If you don't like wearing false nails or you are so lucky that you don't need to you can still consider buying a set of these nails to use to practice nail art or swatch colours without stressing your natural nails. The set is really cheap!

If you like these nails stay tuned because I am going to post some nail art and nail art tutorial using these as base!

Magnetic displayer review!

Hello!
I am very excited to show you a very particular tool.
It's not a nail art post this time but I am sure it will make your life easier while practicing nail painting.
It is a magnetic nail tips displayer. It is part of a serie of products that the company Born Pretty Store sent me for a review.

I think this product is brilliant, it came in a nice box and in a few seconds you have a beautiful displayer for your works and a useful tip holder for your practice sessions.
In the box you will find a clear plastic base with 5 magnet and 5 stand pieces in gold shade that makes them look similar to chess pieces.

Each tip stand has a magnetic bottom which allows it to stay attached to the clear base.

To apply the tip you can use a plastic tack, sticky putty or self adhesive tape as I did.

I made a short video to show you how to build it. As you can see it is very easy to install and unistall.

It is very light and easy to carry, the base is 11 cm x 1 cm, and each piece stand is 1,2 x 2,5 cm.

Last minute ideas for Halloween

Pink stiletto nails with crystals!

Hi guys!
Last moth I ordered some crystals from Born Pretty Store.
I saw crystal nails everywhere lately so I wanted to try some too.

I bought this weel of  colourful rhinestones (click on the name to open the link).

You can use my coupon code at check out to get 10% off RASX31 on www.bornprettystore.com

 I really like them because they are not clear they have some iridescent reflects. Rhinestones show every colour of the spectrum pink and purple, green, blue, yellow. They shine  even more under sun light and they show different colours depending on the angle of the light.

In the wheel you can find four different sizes (approx 5mm, 4mm, 3mm, 2mm).
They are very esay to apply, you can use clear nail polish as glue and a dotting tool to place them on the nails. Seal with top coat.
I created a nail art using all four different sizes.

These rhinestones are very versatile, you can use them with your make up, for example you can place the medium sized one in the inner corner of your eye with some lashes' glue. You can use them to decorate your cellphone or glasses.
Thanks for reading!

Laura
