New Born Pretty Store nail polish! New bottle New Collection

Today I am sharing a review on a new nail polish from Born Pretty Store.
This polish is available on their website since June 6 and I was sent this shade to try out. This polish is called Young BP-FS03 and it is part of the collection Flower in Sunshine series.

This was sent to me because Born Pretty Store has lauched a new packaging bottle and some new shades. The bottle is very cute and elegant, it contains 6 ml of product, the brush holder is black with gold details and the logo on the bottle is in gold too.
This collection "Flower in sunshine" is defined as a mermaid shell glimmer.

The shade that I have is a beautiful duochrome from blue to purple with a lot of holographic glitters. the effect is really amazing. The shade is quite sheer so I tought that the best use of this nail polish was as a topper. I was also curious to know how this shade would turn on different colour bases.

The company was kind enough to offer a 10% discount to my readers. Just use promo code RASX31  during checkout. Shipping is free on all orders as well!

This is how the shade looks on purple. I love how it turned out. It  enhanced the base colour and added a glittery finish.

This is how it looks on black. Of course the result is darker and more galaxy like. The glitter gives a grany surface that caputre the light but if you dont like it you can use a glossy top coat.
I only did one coat over a base colour.

There are other collections to choose from, holographic, duochrome and magnetic nail polishes.
I can't wait to try other shades soon!

To Save stamping plate review

In my row of stamping plate reviews, I have reached a new brand To Save the online shop ww.tosave.com. that offered me to try some new products.
I always want to try new nail art tool so here I am with the review!

The plate includes 10 different larger designs (1.2 x 1.5cm each) and 9 smaller design engraved on to the stainless steel image plate and covered with a protective film to be removed before use. The image plate measures 6.5 x 12.5cm.

 The ten larger images are bigger than most common plates on the market, I am sure that they are carefully made to ensure almost any size nail. Every design is very detailed in order to be suitable even to tiny nails. I like the choice of adding smaller designs for small nails or layered nail art.

The main theme is mandalas. A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. In common use, "mandala" has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a microcosm of the universe.


How to use:
1) Remove the blue protective film.
2) Apply the Nail Polish of your choice to the design you wish to stamp.
3) Remove the excess nail polish with a scraper using a 45° angle.
4) Roll the stamp over the selected design being careful not to use too much pressure.
5) Transfer the design by rolling the stamp over you nail.
6) Apply a top coat for a longer lasting result.

As base I used some stiletto false nails that you can buy at this link

For the stiletto shape is very easy to obtain a coffin/ballerina shape. You simply have to cut the point and file the nail.
I used a silver nail polish to stamp and the I added to rhinestones on the middle and ring finger.

I hope you'll love the result!

Secret garden nail art!Born Pretty Store Thermal 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 025 a brigh pink/coral in cold environment and a very 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 not completely matte, but not shiny more like a gummy finish.

You can buy it at this link:

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 nail look on its own but I decided I wanted to play a little bit with it.

I wanted to create a secret garden nail art. It is secret because when your hands are cold it looks like a nornal pink/coral nail polish but when your nails are warm the nail polish turns light pink(white) and it reveals the floral design.

Here is a video showing the colour changing effect! Can you spot the reflection of the air dryer I used to warm my hands??? :-D

I started with a clear base then I painted all nails in a white plain shade. Then I painted two coats of thermal pink/coral nail polish. I let it dry completely and I stamped over with a very similar shade.
Since the shade is not exactly the same and the finishes are different (gummy/matte for the thermal polish and glossy for the normal polish) and my body temperature is always quite high, you are still able to see a bit of the design on cold temperature too but it is still a nice surprise; when all nails are warm, the difference is stunning!
