Holographic Colour Changing polish

 

A thermal nail polish is a varnish that is going to change its colour depending on the temperature of the environment.

The colour that I have chosen is number a glittery dusty burgundy in cold environment and a very glittery light  white in hot temperature.

The consistency is a bit thicker than the normal polishes I am used to and the finish is very interesting too because is glossy and shine (I also used a top coat for it).

The glitters has also holographic particles that can change colour and shift. This makes this product very interesting. 

I was very curious to try some colour changing polish because you can have two different styles in a moment, your nail polish will change throught out the day a lot of times and most of the time it will create an ombrèe effect between the two colours. It is a fast complete nail look on its own.

I really love the transition between the two colours it creates a beautiful effect and the thermal polish who can shift from dark to light are very rare.

The fact that it is a gel nail polish makes the colour changing more durable and the nail art last longer

This is how it looks when cold.

This is how it looks when hot.

Geometric Spider Gel! So fast and easy!

Today I would like show a very unique product!
The company Born Pretty Store contacted me in order to try some brand new products on their collection.
I have already tried Spider Gel from Nicole Diary and I was curious to try another colour.

So I picke the Born Pretty Store Spider Gel in the colour BP-SG01 White id code #46740

"Spider gel,"is  an innovative nail art formula very famous on Instagram (that requires almost no tools). The product came in a pot with the brand name and the colour, It looks like a really thick gel, and then when you put a little toothpick or something in it, you can draw out a string of the stuff, and drape the gel on the nail.

This thick gel allows you to create perfectly straight lines for your nail art without stencils or specialized brushes. If last time I went for a Pollock dripping effect this time I have tried a geometric look!

I used two toothpics at the same time to draw perfect straight lines, it was incredibly fast and easier than I thought it would be.

It is a gel so you need a UV lamp to use it.
You have to use it over a cured base and a no wipe top coat, don't make the mistake I made to use it over a wet base (the lines will broke and flow, which an interesting effect but not the desired one).
I have decided to apply a no wipe soak off top coat over it.

Spider gel! So fun!

Hello!
Today I would like show a very unique product!
The company Born Pretty Store contacted me in order to try some brand new products on their collection.
I wanted to try the spider gels so I give it a go, they have it in many colours: silver, blue, white, gold red and black the one I got. The brand is Nicole Diary and the id code is # 46022.

The product came in a pot with the brand name and the colour, It looks like a really thick gel, and then when you put a little toothpick or something in it, you can draw out a string of the stuff, and drape the gel on the nail. You can draw the finest lines and create geometric designs or you can create some random lines and your nails are instantly transformed in a modern art masterpiece.

You can use a dotting tool and when you took a bit of product it forms a line, it can be thicker or smaller depending of how much product do you use.

Almost an invisible line here. You can strecht it a lot.

It is a gel so you need a UV lamp to use it.
You have to use it over a cured base and a no wipe top coat, don't make the mistake I made to use it over a wet base (the lines will broke and flow, which an interesting effect but not the desired one).
I have decided to apply a no wipe soak off top coat over it.

Just before the spider gel decoration I used some iridescent # 41059 and crome flakies (id # 40147) from Born Pretty Store

I am really curious to try other colours, maybe the metallic ones

Dry flowers nail art!

This summer my passion for floral patter and motif went even crazier.
I loved the floral print 90s revival or the boho chic version for dresses and accessories.
 If head-to-toe flower prints aren’t exactly your idea of a seasonal wardrobe refresh, the nail trend that’s about to blow up is the perfect way to get into the spirit of spring/ summer.

Most nail trands came from Korea where insanely good nail artist are working hard everyday. One of them is with Eun Kyun Park (aka @nail_unistella on Instagram).She was the first one who used dry flowers on nails.

This is one of the easiest nail art you can find because it is created by applying mini dried flowers to the nail and sealing it in with a clear topcoat.

In this nail art I used this wheel of dried flowers from Beauty Big Bang.

As you can see from the picture the flowers come in 12 different colours: coral red, blue, light green, dark yellow, lavander purple, ivory white, fucsia, light orange, dusty purple, pink, teal, light yellow.

The colour choice is random and the flowers are approximately 5mm-7mm. There are 2-3 flowers of each color. I love the shape of the flowers, the petals are very thin, you can easly cut them in half if you want to use more colours on the same nail. The center part of some flowers is a bit more thick, I suggest you to use some extra top coat on that part and be very gentle with the petals.

These are really easy to use, with the help of a pair of tweesers you can apply them on a wet nail polish. Then, seal it in with top coat.

I left a clear base on the accent nails and used a sheer gold polish for the others nails.

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!

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.

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.
