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.

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

"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.

The first product I would like to talk you about is this mirror powder. I picked number 12 a beautiful copper colour great for fall, but they have many others amazing colours. he stunning range of Chrome nail powders includes Silver, Gold, Gold Rose,Pink, Purple, Blue and Green.

The ultra-fine powder can be mixed to create all the colours of the rainbow in all depths of colour.
When Chrome nails are created over a dark colour such as black you will achieve a greater chrome or mirror effect.

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!

I have decided to use it over a gel peel off nail polish from My-Ny cosmetics in the colour Deep Black. I really like it because in one step it provides a perfect glossy base for any powder product you want. You don't need to remove the tacky layer and you can peel it off when you get tired of it.

I have also used some My-Ny vinyls to do a fast nail art.

The powder application is very easy:

You can pply the chrome nail powder using the sponge applicator. Apply pressure and rub into the nail until it‘s perfectly smooth. You can use it even on vinyls and it works perfectly.

As final step you have to seal the powder with a gel top coat,
If you don't have gels and you want to use normal polishes here is a video that show you how:

Pearl cat eye nailpolish from Born Pretty Store

Hi everyone!

Today I have a magnetic cat eye gel polish from Born Pretty Store to share with you. This wasn't my first time trying a magnetic polish but it is my first time trying a pearlescent cat eye polish.

This shade is very beautiful, it is a pearlescent dark blue/silver, very unique and elegant! It is called Lycoris Radiata.
It is named after a beautiful flower known also as red spider lily, red magic lily, or equinox flower, is a plant in the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. Originally from China, Korea, and Nepal, it was introduced into Japan and from there to the United States and elsewhere. The blue version of this flower reminds me of the nail polish shade!

You can get a 10% discount at @bornprettyofficial using my code: RASX31

There are other 10 shades to choose from and I am sure you will find something you'll like!

I used this nail polish over a black base, the formula is quite thick and pigmented. I only needed two layers of product and I used a cat eye magnetic stick while the second layer was still wet and I placed the magnet over the nail for 15-20 seconds.

I used the dual ended magnetic board, it gives a strong 3d magnetic effect and can be easly oriented to create the image that you desire.
 No surprise it is a best selling on the Born Pretty online store!
It is long and easy to hold.
There is a rectangular magnet on one end, and a round magnet on the other. The side of the rectangle magnet can be used to create lines, while the round magnet can create more fluid wave and circle patterns (this is the best if you want to create a space nebula illusion).

In this nail art I used the rectangular end diagonally to create a lighter effet all across the nail.
The magnet creates a lighter silver line over the nail, it tends to spread a bit after the polish is dried but it is still visible and it creates a wonderful gradient effect.

Thread/wire nails with stamping! Nicole Diary stamping plate 003

Hello!
Today I have another beautiful plate to show you!
The company Nicole Diary recently sent me some products to review. They have a wide range of products and they offer free shipping worldwide. The company is based in Asia and the shipping time are around 3-5 weeks, you can pay with paypal.
This amazing plate is from the Tattoo Collection, I suggest you to have a look at the entire collection because the designs are very beautiful and unique.

 This plate came in a protective bag with a paper sleeve and the blue protective film. The company is putting a lot of effort in the presentation of the products and I appreciate it a lot.

I think this plate is very well edged. Each design transfers easily and was extremely sharp as you can see from the pictures.

The designs are very unique, they all look like a little pieces of art, there are animals and human figures, each design is very minimal, each image is made with a graphic thin line that makes it looks like a sketch or ink pen drawings. Some designs reminds me also of the wire nail trend. 
The technique involves taking pieces of wire and bending them into freeform shapes.

The lines are so thin and delicate and I had not trouble at all picking them with the stamper.

In this nail art I used a white base and then I stamped with a pigmented blue over it. I wanted to give the idea of some pen ink on the nails or of a blue sewing thred

Coral flowers nail art! Beauty Big Bang Flower Design Nail Stamping Plate review

Hello there!

This year Spring is not arrived yet, it is a bit cold and rainy all the time. So I tought it wold be a nice idea to chear me up with a floral nail art.

I am trying to experiment more with colours and texures out of my comfort zone. I wanted to use again this cute plate from Beauty Big Bang, the company sent me this and some other product to try. 

I think it is great that they have their own production of stamping plates because it means that they will englarge their collection each season. You can find a lot of other stamping plates on their nail stamping section.  

The plate I would like to show is plate number 10 the Flower Design Nail Stamping Plate J6 401TM-4A  and the ID code to find it is J6401TM-4A  or you can simple click here.

Ciao a tutti!
Quest'anno la Primavera si sta facendo aspettare, fa ancora un po' freddo e piove spesso. Per questo motivo ho pensato di tirarmi un po' su di morale con una nail art a tema floreale.
Sto provando a sperimentare di più con colori e texures inusuali. Oggi avevo voglia di utilizzare di nuovo questa piastrina per stamping di Beauty Big Bang, un negozio online che molto gentilmente mi ha spedito questo ed altri prodotti da provare. Sono contenta che questo brand abbia anche una produzione propria di stamping plate perchè significa che la collezione verrà arricchita ogni stagione . Potete trovare le loro placchette per stamping nella sezione nail stamping del sito.
Quella che voglio recensire oggi è la numero 10 the Flower Design Nail Stamping Plate e il codice identificativo per trovarla è J6401TM-4A  o semplicemente cliccate qui. 

 The site has a free shipping worldwide, they also make very nice offers too and, if you need some extra help, you can use my discound code LAURA  for 10% off  on your order

Il sito offre spedizioni gratis in tutto il mondo e spesso ci sono offerte molto convenienti, se avete bisogno di un motivo in più, potete usare il mio coupon LAURA da inserire al momento del check out per il 10% in meno.

The plate is very beautiful, it has six floral designs, some a more stylized and other more realistic, I think they made happy any flower lovers with this tiny and cute plate. The plate measures  approx. 6*6cm, the images are larger and longer enough to fit larger and longer nails.

The plate comes in a nice paper sleeve and has a blue protective film that needs to be removed before use. The designs are very well engraved on to the stainless steel image plate, images are precise with sharp edges. I had no trouble picking them up.

La placchetta è molto bella, ha sei disegni floreali, alcuni più stilizzati altri più realistici. Credo che la scelta del design di questa piccola placchetta renda felice qualsiasi amante dei fiori. Misura circa 6 x 6 cm e i disegni sono grandi abbastanza per le unghie di tutte le misure.

La placca è contenuta in una confezione di carta e ha una pellicola protettiva blu che deve essere rimossa prima dell'uso. La decorazione è incisa molto bene sulla superficie di acciaio inossidabile, le immagini sono precise e dai contorni netti. Non ho avuto nessun problema a trasferire l'immagine sullo stamper.

   There are roses, daises, primroses, pansies too I think. 

In the last post I tried the daisies design. Today I wanted some more wild flowers on my nails.  

As you can see the designs are various and versatile, suitable to countless manicure ideas and it is great for coloured nail art and reverse stamping techinique. 

Ci sono rose, primule e viole del pensiero credo.

Nell'ultimo post ho provato il decoro con le margherite. Oggi volevo altri fiori selvatici sulle mie ugnhie. Come potete vedere i decori presenti su questa placchetta sono vari e molto versatili, si possono realizzare infinite nail art a credo sia perfetta per manicure colorate le tecnica di stamping avanzato (o reverse).

 I stamped with the Metal Nail Art Stamper & Scraper (J2914TM-1A ) and then I coloured some flowers with reverse stamping technique.

Ho usato come stamper il Metal Nail Art Stamper & Scraper (J2914TM-1A ) e in seguito ho colorato alcuni fiori con la tecnica di stamping avanzato.

 Here is a picture of the reversed stamping, I filled some flowers with a bright coral nail polish.

I decided to use a pastel colour palette with light blue and light coral and peach tones. In particular I used two nail polishes from P2, they are from the crisp collection and they are texured, moreover they have some small sable particles in different colour. They are very interesting. I also addes two drop shaped stud in a bright orange.

Come ho già anticipato, ho usato una palette di colori pastello con azzurro chiaro, corallo e toni pescati. In particolar ho usato due smalti del brand P2, sono della collezione "crisp" e hanno una particulare texure ruvida con particelle in diversi colori. Sono molto particolari. Ho aggiunto anche due borchiette a forma di goccia in un color arancio brillante.
