Unicorn nails

                                         

 Hello!
Today I wanted to do something colourful but delicate at the same time.

So I thought it was the time to finally do a unicorn inspired nail art!

I received these two beautiful items from Born Pretty Store.
The first one is an duo-chrome flakies powder

I fell in love with this magic chameleon flakes! It has a really fantastic effect: it is a mix of large flakes, and really tiny ones. I picked the shade, number two ,that as you can see from the picture has a bit of purple and blue.

On a white base it looks like a delicate sheer duo chrome in light purple and blue teal, on a black base the colours are brighter and the shade shift  is more visible.

There are 6 different colours to choose from and you can choose to have a jar of 0.1 g or a jar of 0.2 gr.
All the jars come with a sponge applicator which is very easy to use.

On the middle finger I created a triangular shape with some tape then I gently dabbed the flakies powder over a sticky polish and finally I used a top coat to seal the glitters.

You can use these glitter for craft decoration too. I used them to create a fake druzy cabochon.

I have also received these cute unicorn shaped sequins.

There are 6 colours available, the one I used in this nail art is number 1. Some sequins are in a light pink shades some others a nice holo silver.

These sequins are very thin but not very flexible so I tried to shape them a bit before application.

The applicatiom was very easy because I used this great new tool: a white wax pencil expecially designed to pick up gems, rhinestones, sequins.

For a small price of 1.29 usd you will get 5 pieces. I really love this item! I normally use a dotting tool to pick up rhinestone but with this new tool everything is easier. With the dotting tool you have to load the tip each time with nail polish to make it sticky while these crayons don't require anything else to work.

 They work like a normal pencil, you can make the tip thinner or thicker with a pencil sharpener. These pencils are quite short and easy to handle.

I really hope you'll like the final result!

Holographic Nail Powder Super Shine

Hello!
This week is full of nail art reviews!
I really love holographic powder! It is such versatile invention, you can mix it in your favorite polish, use it in a top coat, dab it and cover the entire nails, you can do french nails and so on.!
I am always excited to try new powder and textures,

Few days ago I tried this new powder from Born Pretty Store. This was part of a pr sample that the company sent me.

You can find this product at this link:
http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-holographic-nail-powder-super-shine-sequins-manicure-nail-pigment-glitters-p-40866.html

I selected the colour b26 (an holographic silver shade) but on the site you have 10 colours, next time I will be very eager to try another colour such as red or green, perfect shades for Christmas.

It comes in a nice plastic container and a sponge applicator. The powder is quite flakie-like and the are dust is made up by fine glitters and bigger glitter.

I was curious to know how it looked like on nails so I decided to use it over a white base. As top coat I used a holo glitter top coat for two reasons: it will fill the gaps and it will enhance the holo refraction.
 I love the fact that is has a raw finish, similar to  sand, stucco, or rock like finish. This makes the look very unique! Another big pro of this kind of nail style is that glitters are very long lasting! You will have hard time to take them off!

Here is a small video to show the holo effect. I find it very difficult to capture with a camera the holographic effect, but believe me it is stunning in real life.

All over holo!

Let's be honest some days in a life are shitty as hell and in those days you need an extra sparkle.
Something able to capture every ray of light and trasform it in a beautiful rainbow!
What am I talking about? Love? Wine? Xanax?
Nahhhh! Holo powder!

The Holo powder that I used for these nails is from www.bornprettystore.com
You can find it at this link
http://www.bornprettystore.com/holographic-glitter-powder-holo-glitter-dust-powder-manicure-nail-decoration-p-36930.html

 for only 1.99 in different glitter sizes, the one I have is the finest one. It would be wonderful to try the bigger glitter too, maybe next time!

The holo dust comes in a transparent plastic container with the capacity of 3 gr.
It is very hard to capture with a camera the shifting magic of these kind of products! I don't know why but holo is very hard to get with full focus images so you need to take pictures or videos with the main subject out of focus.
You can believe me, under the sun light this powder is amazing.
I used a torch to show you the rainbow shifting in this video:

I used the powder over a holographic nail polish, I applied it only on the tip of the nails with a make up sponge.
Here is a small video tutorial:

Is your life still messed up? Yes?! But your nails are fabulous!

Galaxy in a bottle!

Hello there!
Today I would like to review this Chameloeon Starry nail polish from the site www.bornprettystore.com.

This is the kind of polish that I call "Galaxy in one bottle" because in one coat you have that wonderful galaxy/space look!

You can buy it for 5.99 at this link:

The listing on the site says that it is an "eco friendly" nail polish. In fact it does not smell as a normal nail polish. I don't have a list of ingredients to show you but I guess it is a water base nail polish similar to the Little Ondine ones.

This means that it will be super shiny and glossy but also that it will need a polish base and a top coat to make it last longer.

I think this nail polish has the best result over black. It has a sheer duo chrome tint, The colour shift depends on the light that the surface catches from different angles and sources. It has a bit of purple, blue and green. Moreover there are a lots of  holographic glitters. If you watch this polish over the sunlight you won't believe it's real.

Here is a small video to show how to apply it. It was really hard to catch on camera the shifting effect but believe me :in real life it is even more sprakling and shiny!

I hope you like it!
 Love,

Laura
