Matte No wipe Top coat from Born Pretty

Matte nails have been trendy for some years right now and I am never tired of them. 

If you want your nails to be matte, you have two options:

The first is to buy special matte nail polish., your other, more economic option is to buy a matte top coat. There are many matte polish for normal polishes but a fewer options for gels.

Here it is  a vary good matte top coat for soak off gels form www.bornprettygel.com 

I think the best one out there for the price, Unlike other formulas, this one completely mattifies polish without changing its color. It looks very opaque and it is velvet at the touch, almost gummy like and the effect lasts long. 

In the bottle is looks a little bit more opaque than normal clear top coat but this is totally normal. 

It is very easy to apply and the formula is not too thick or too liquid, it does not drag the colour underneath. 

I used it over this Egg shell special polish and it gives the perfect effect for this nail art.

You can cure under the lamp (time depending on your specific lamp) and it is no wipe, perfect for a top coat. 

 

Silver Chrome nails with a cushion pen from Born Pretty Store

Chrome nails are one of the biggest nail trends since 2017 and now you can get the latest chrome powder nails very easily with no expensive appintment at the nail salon.

This effect is achieved with some special powder that provides a mirror-like shine that lasts.

The powder normally came in a pot with a sponge applicator. This method was easy but sometimes some of the powder was lost durind the process.

This year Born Pretty Store came out with this new cushion pen, it is so easy to use and the powder did not fly everywhere like usual.

 All the chrome nail powders can be used over clear gel nail basecoat for a lighter effect, or with a base gel colour to create a wide range of effects, the darker the base colour the darker the Chrome effect will be! Here I used a dark blue colour as base and no wipe clear top coat.

I was really surprised by designs and the unsual colour palette. The decals show some flowers patters and leaves, there are roses and red and pink flowers and some cute birds too.

The patterns are really elegant and perfectly painted.

The design print is perfect, printed in hight resolution, lines are very sharp and colour are vivid. I am a huge fan of water decals in general! They are super easy to use and you can spice up your nails instantly with intricate looking designs. They are also a great alternative to stamping when you want a professional look in a few minutes.

There are many other patterns you can pick and use.

The application is very easy.

The waterdecals are protected by a transparent sheet. You can select the size and the design you want, cut it with a scissor. Don't forget to remove the plastic sheet. Cut out the section of decals, and let it soak in room temperature water for about 15-30 seconds, slide the decals off the paper backing with tweezers and place on the nails with the white or nude base coat

The instructions suggest to place it on  the nail and dry with a tissue. The last step is to secure it with clear nail polish. In my case with a matte top coat.

Vanitas on nails!

This stamping plate with skulls, skeletons and flowers reminds me of the Vanitas: a genre of still life painting that flourished in the Netherlands in the early 17th century. It included various symbolic objects designed to remind the viewer of their mortality and the worthlessness of wordly goods and pleasures.

A vanitas painting, while possibly containing lovely objects, always included some reference to man's mortality. Most often, this is a human skull (with or without other bones), but items like burning candles, soap bubbles and decaying flowers may be used for this purpose as well.

Geode Stamping plate!

 

Hello there!

Today I would like to show you a new nailart.

A new mail from Born Pretty Store arrived and I am very hapy about it.

If you follow my blog you might already know that I have tried Geode nails more than once because I like rocks and crystals. 

I had to di it free hand and it took very long, but now Nicole Diary has a new stamping plate with multiple geode designs and marbles.

According to wikipedia geode are geological secondary structures which occur in certain sedimentary and volcanic rocks. They are themselves of sedimentary origin and are formed by chemical precipitation. 

I think the designs of the plate are really well done and the best way to get a realistic result.

I love the fact that the plate offers so many combinations, there are full pattern to paint on the entire nail and some smaller elements such as geometric figures. These can be combined into two layers where you stamp a plain colour and then you add the marble design on top of it.

For this nail art I also use thi polish as stamping polish and then I added flakes and gold paint.

Plum cat eye with 2 in one magnet uv gel lamp!

Hello! 

I have recently received a package from Born Pretty Store full of new and unique items!

The item I would like to show you today is this cat eye gel polish

You can use my coupon code

RASX31 for 10% off on www.bornprettystore.com

These polishes are a great trend today because they are an easy way to create designs a few seconds.

The cat eye polishes are called like this because you can create a shiny strip down across the middle reminiscent of the piercing, beautiful eyes of a cat.

Magnetic polishes are a magical invention. With the power of a magnet, some pigments of the color are attracted to areas of the nail, and with movement and different viewing angles, shift colors and location on the nail for a futuristic 3D effect.

There are 6 colours to choose from, the one that I have is the shade called  BP-CE02 Plum Flower id product # 48348 it is a purple with a pink red duo chrome, a very nice colour and looks great on black!

To create the cat eye effect I used this new amazing tool! Magnetic UV Lamp Two-in-one id # 47707. It looks like it comes from space but it a 2 in 1, it is a magnet (that covers different effects) and a mini gel lamp!

It has a  usb cable so you can use it while on your computer.  There are three different colours to pick from pink, white and black.

The magnts are oriente and the left and right bars, while the uv light is at the middle in the circle part.

I think it is a very useful tool because when you work with magnetic polish you have to work fast in order to get lines as sharp as you need, when the magnet is not near the lines blurr a bit. Here you have two tools in one to avoid this problem. Moreover you can move the magnet and create different effects.

      

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

You can also use my coupon code RASX31 for 10% discount 

"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.

Blue stamping polish from Born Pretty Store

Hello,
today I would love to review a stamping polish from Born Pretty Store.
It is a beautiful blue and you can find it at this link

https://it.aliexpress.com/item/4000430946410.html?spm=2114.12010611.8148356.41.36c47d33r62gGH

Born Pretty Stamping polishes have been a discovery, they are the best stamping polishes I have ever tried, you can't be wrong with them.
These kind of polishes are very very pigmented and are perfect for any stamping technique. One of the biggest tips out there for successfully mastering the art of stamping is to invest in top quality nail stamping polish.

As you can see from this picture this nail polish is excellent, long-lasting, chip-resistant with supersaturated colour pigments.
It has an excellent consistency, it is not very thick or too thin, it is full cover in one cover, very hard for dark polishes. You will get one cute bottle that has the capacity of approx. 6ml.

The colour I have choosen is FW15 but there are others 14 shades to pick.

As you can see the stamping quality is execellent, the polish film trasfers on the stamper and the onto the nail very easly, with no creases. 

Here I have used a Sensitive thermal polish, see previous post to know more.

 The stamping plate I used is Born Pretty Texure L002
