Gold and black nail art!

Hello!
I recently received a brand new nail mail full of wonderful products from Born Pretty Store.
When I opened the package I was very surprised by how shine and gold they looked.
I wondered for a while what colour to use with them but then I decided to go for a simple black and an accent matte gold nail.

 The sheet contains also others patterns: two geometric intricated designs and a vertical chain like stickers.

I feel in love with this geometric mosaic pattern in gold and white. The sheet is approx 11.6 cm x 9 cm. It is enoght for several full manicures.
You can buy it here.
There are others six patterns available all geometric and in gold and white!

These stickers are very easy to use. I prefer applying them on a dried base colour.
You have to be very careful when you apply the sticker because it might leave some air bubble.
To make sure the nail art will last long you have to apply a top coat. In this case I applied a matte top coat. I think the matte gives this nail art a modern touch!

Then I tried to change a bit this nailart by adding a marble effect on some nails. I used black, white and gold acrylic paint on a white base, I mixed the shades randomly with a thin brush.

I hope you like the result!

Vintage Floral nail art

Hello!!!
Happy New Year!

Just before Christmas I received an e-mail from Born Pretty Store. I am part of the affiliate program and this company always has the best nail trend items at the best price.

Today I felt like experimenting with tools and techniques!

I really felt in love with this Flower pattern water decals .

As you can see from pictures it shows an intricate black and white floral pattern with beautiful blooms and bunches of retro florals. To tell the truth the design is in black and rest of the sticker is transparent, so you can use it on any background.

That's why a strange idea came to my mind. I could use the water decal and colour it with the reverse stamping technique.

After pluging it into water the design will separate from the paper. I placed it onto the soft head of a stamper and started colouring the flowers and the blooms with acrylic paint and a small brush.
I haven't tried with nail polishes but I guess that too much polish would melt the stickers and ruin the nail art.

So I let the acrylic paint dry. ( You realize that it's all dry because it will became matt).
Then you can use the decal as a sticker and place it onto the nail.
I secured it with a matt clear top coat.

For this nail art I used a greige purple base on all the nails and a burgundy and light peach for flowers, light green for leaves.
 

I really hope you like it!

Best wishes,

Laura
