Shattered glass nail trend!

The shattered glass nail art is a big trend started in Korea by the famous nail artist Unistella.
This nail art is quite easy: segments of an iridescent cellphane or foil are placed directly on a wet nail polish and sealed with a top coat.
I have been looking for this special foil everywhere in Italy, but it was impossible to find in local stores.

The one that I used in this nail art is from Born Pretty Store  , they were so kind to send me this item.
This particular cellophane reflects light like facets on a gemstone or a broken glass.
In the site you can choose between 5 colours, I have shade number 2.

It's really hard to describe this beautiful shade, it is an iridescent and pearlescent pink and the colour changes a lot with different backgrounds.

In this first example I used it on a black nail polish. As you can see the sheer foil shift from light to dark green, blue and golden yellow, the colour change is based on the light (natural or artificial) and the way you decide to layer the stickers.

Here is a short video that show you how bright and iridescent this foil is.

I made this other version on a sheer pink nail polish, in this case the result is very delicate and the shades shift from golden yellow to pink and light green.

I've decided to add some golden decoration triangles. These decorations are ultrathin and very easy to apply on wet clear nail polish. They are quite flexible so they easly bent on the curve of the nail. For a long lasting manicure you can seal the design with a clear top coat.
There are some other shapes available in the Born Pretty Store.

I hope you'll like my nail art idea!
Talk to you soon

 The handle works as a cap because you can take it off, and when the cap is on not only it protect the brush but also it became smaller and easier to store.

The brush hair is very thin and flexible, it is perfect to draw lines, small details of patterns and flowers and even outlines.
The bristles are quite long and the tip is very small, These kind of brushes are easy to use for zebra patterns or to make french manicures on short nails.
For other kind of designs you need a bit of practice to achieve a better hand control.
Here are some examples of what you can do with this product.


  Feather nail art

 

Flowers design

  Abstract stripes

                                                       
        Tropical flowers

That's all for now!

Triangle Tip Nail Brush review

Hello!
Today I have something different to share with you: a triangle tip nail brush.
I think this brush is specific for 3d acrylic decoration for example to shape petals or leaves, but I don't use acrylic or gel decorations,

I chose this brush for its fine tip, I think it can work well for basic or detailed nail art, with nail polishes or acrylic paint.
The brush is kept in a clear plastic tube, In my opinion this is a fantastic idea because I always have troubles in finding the right way to store all my brushes. Moreover it has another plastic protection for the bristles.

The colour is a nice pink and even the bristles are white and pink. The hair fiber is nylon so it's veg and cruelty free.
At first the briste appair a bit rigid but when you wet it it became more flexible and the tip very thin.

In my opinion this brush is very versatile because you can create thin or thick lines but I think it's perfect to draw flowers and leaves, mixing different shades in one stroke.
It's very easy to clean, if you use acrylic paint you can wash it with water and a delicate soap.

This item was kindly offered by Born Pretty Store.
