Space nailart! With Born Pretty Store products




Hello!
Today I have a nailart for you!
I recently received some products from Born Pretty Store.

You can get a 10% discount at @bornprettyofficial using my code RASX31


I already talked about this magnific magnetic pearlescent nailpolish . the colour is  BP-PM04 Lycoris Radiata #45718. A beatiful grey with a touch of blue.



With this polish I used the cat eye dual ended magnetic stick





I thought this was the perfect base for a space nailart!
On 20 July 1969 the Apollo 11 landed at Tranquillity Base. Neil Amstrong made history by becoming the first person to walk on the moon. "If you believed they put a man on the moon".
I wanted to celebrate this important event with a space related nailart!


I recelntly bought this amazing stamping plate from Born Pretty Store Outer Space series plate number L001. It is so unique!
This plate is so whimstical, it has planets and the moon, kawaii desings of astronauts and even a cat and more artistic desings that feature space and stars, space background with animals.


I particularly liked the image of the wolf howling at the moon, on the middle finger it is in negative space and shows the cat eye blended effect of the polish and. On the pinky there is a similar design of a wolf in positive space but smaller.
 For the index and ring finger I choose some galaxies with planets and stars.

My favourite is the thumb:


A mountain surrounded by planets.



For stamping I used I used BP-WN03 black stamping polish.

As top coat I used the amazing No smudge Top coat. I really wanted to try this revolutionary product! And guess what!? big spoiler! It works! It does not smudge or ruin the stamping. Many top coats drag the staping polish ruining the image or making it dull. In fact I was avoiding using top coat on dark stamping polishes and for this reason the design chipped after a few days because the protecting layer was missing.
This top couat not only will add a shiny layer to your manicure but it will also protect it from chipping and make it last longer.




This top coat is also recommended for chrome/mirror polishes, holographic polishes and nail foil.

The base colour is a light beige from Mi-ny cosmetic called "Matisse".
Then I decided to do a double layer nail art creating shades with a colour darker than the base but lighter than black. The shade is "American Girl" and it is a taupe brown, then the last layer is in black "Black Rock".






The plate worked perfectly even with normal polishes

Hidden nail art with thermal polish


Ever since I was a child I have been very fascinating with colour changing items.
 In the middle of the 90s there were a lot of merchandising such as lipstick, mood rings, pens and stationery that was supposed to change colour according to your mood. To be honest that had nothing to do with mood or feeling but there were just pigments that changed colour depending on the temperature of the environment or the body.

Thermal polishes have been around for a while but I find very hard to buy them from local stores because they are part of temporary collections or you can't try them and see the real colour shift.
Online you can find a larger selection, in particular the online store Born Pretty Store has many colours, normal polishes, gel polishes, glitter polishes, they even offer colour changing pigments.


Last time I have tried a beautiful coral pink, now I decided to go for a darker shade a deep grey that turns into a icy light grey or even white.
I think this beautiful grey will lent itself well with a geometrinc stamping nail art!
What I love to do with these kind of polish is what I call an "hidden nail art".

Here is a small video to show the amazing colour changing effect!




I paint all the nails with the thermal polish and then I stamp over it with a very similar colour.
It is hidden because when your hands are cold it looks like a normal plain grey nail polish but when your nails are warm the nail polish turns light grey (white) and it reveals the geometric design.





You can buy it here and there are other 9 shades.

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

The bottle contains 9 ml. The formula is a bit thicker than a normal polish, I think because it contains this special thermo sensitive pigment. Two coats are enough to create an even colour and I had no issue with the application at all.

I stamped with this beautiful plate for BPS too:

I added a triangle flakie decoration on the ring finger.
