Cherry blosson and red bird nail art!

Hello there!
Today I am going to review some water decals from Born Pretty Store.

The company was very kind to let me select some products to try. I really love water decals because they are very easy and fast to use and e result is stunning. You will easily get compliments for your nails from everybody who notice them.

This time I've chosen an elegant oriental and vibrant design.
You can find it here .
There are many others patterns available, I am sure you will find a pattern you like.

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 20-30 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 blow dry. The last step is to secure it with clear nail polish. In my case with a matte top coat.

The pattern is number 1594. I think it is very beautiful, it has flowers and blossoms in a pink and red shade, some others in beige. It reminds of an early oriental spring of the cherry blossom season in Japan. There is also a red bird that I decided to place on the ring finger.

  I think this kind of waterdecals work best on a light base. I used a sheer white cream colour. 

On thumb and pinkie I used a matt red with a bit of shimmer. (I personally mixed this shade ans I am very pleased with how it tuned out)!

New York Nightscape graffiti nail art!

Hi again!

as you know a few days ago i received a nail mail from Born Pretty Store. They sent me some items for a review and I always get inspired by their products.
The company let me choose amog a large range of nail decals and I was struck by the beauty of these nightscape decals.
Whithin one sheet you have four city landascapes (Barcelona, Tokyo, New York and Paris) and each has 3 different versions: one in black, one minimalistic with a black line and a colourful one.
They work well on light colours as well as dark ones.

I tried the coloured skyline of New York over a white polish and the result is stunning, I did a small and easy nail art on the index finger: with a small brush I applied a small amount of acrylic paint, i used the same shades of the decals and I applied the little "NY" written. 

I have cut some stripes horizontally and placed them on the nails.
 Once you have cut the design you have to remove the plastic top.
This step is very important because if you don't remove the plastic film you will have an unusable water decal.
Soak the piece of the pattern in water for few seconds and then remove the decal off the backing.
Place it on the nail, smooth the surface and be careful, you might create some air bubbles. It's a good tip to dab the eccess of water with a tissue (or you can blow dry).
Seal the design with a clear top coat.
You can cut the eccess of the decal with some scissors or remove it carefully with a small brush and some nail polish remover.

I hope you like this nail look!

Have a nice day
