These flakes are so beautful they shift changing constantly on different light angles. They are very thin so you can use them with regular polish but I always suggest to use gel to encapsulate the design.
Hello,
Today I would like to talk you about some products I recently received from the brand Born Pretty Store.
The first one is a gel polish with flakies you can use it over your favourite colours to add a wonderful iridescent effect!
The product comes in a jar and the gel is transparent with a lot of flakies in it, it contains approx 5ml of product. The product is very easy to apply and you can cure it with UV lamp for 2 minutes or cure with LED lamp for 60 seconds.
How to apply:
Apply Base coat first, which can make polish lasting longer, cure with UV lamp or LED lamp.
Apply first layer of color gel polish directly, cure with UV lamp for 2 minutes or cure with LED lamp for 60 seconds.(Darker base can help to get better effect.)
Apply the 2nd layer of gel and then immediately cure with UV lamp for 2 minutes or cure with LED lamp for 60 seconds.
Coat with no wipe gel top coat, cured by UV gel lamp or LED nail lamp.
Here it is how it looks (macro shot). I have decided to use it over a dark burgundy color. These flakes works better over a dark polish. As you can see from the picture the flakes reflect the lights in different angles and give a rainbow iridescent effect! The flakes are also chamelion so they change a lot if you move your hands, I can see all the shades, light green, blue, purple, green. It is amazing!
Hello,
This month I have a new nail mail to show you.
The company Beauty Big Bang sent me some products to test.
The first product I would like to show you is these aurora flakies powder .
Here is a short video to show you how to use and apply this product:
I really love these kind of products, they are easy to use and the effect is amazing. They are a combination of chamelion or aurora flakes, holo flakes and a coloured mirror like powder in one pot.
There are 14 different shades to choose.
The shade that I have picked this time is 8A a beautiful green jade to purple duo chrome with glitters and holo powder. They all come individually seald in a bag with a sponge applicator. You will get approx. 0,2 gr of products.
One side has a "deer horn shape" and as explained in the lsting it has the purpose to adjust the outline and the edge of color lump & wipe put redundant pigment.
The other side has a angel chisel shape: accurately show the gradient effect and to sculpt shapes with the 3d powder. It can be used for carving, shaping, clay sculpture, modeling etc
With the end being silicone it was tacky enough to pick up the the flakies to just stay put until I put them on my nails. I used the pointy end to remove any large flakies from cuticles.
This tool definitely helps with creating smooth mirror effect and I can't wait to try it for this purpuse too.
I think these are great to push my cuticles back and it works perfectly for that too and is soft so doesn't hurt like some metal ones.
This is tool is also very very beautiful and elegant, it has a transparent handle with some blue crystals rhinestones.
HOW TO:
I first applied a plain purple cream polish and let it dry a minute or two. You want the polish to be tacky but not wet. I then dipped my silicone brush into the pot of flakies and then dabbed onto my nail. I didn’t need to apply any pressure or rub in like you have to do with the holo and chrome powders. I applied only one coat of flakie top coat to enhance the effect.
