There is a wide range of water decals and designs, I am sure you will find the right one for you.

The decals show some abstract pattern, it is inpired by nature and animals but has a minimal and boho touch. 

The design print is perfect, printed in hight resolution, lines are very sharp. 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.

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. 

Multi layered flower plates

Hello!
Today I'm sharing my recent nail mail of stamping plates from Born Pretty Store.
Like the previous one it is a multilayering stamping plate. These plates are quite unique, they're designed to be used to layer stamping images on top of each other to add depth, colour, patterns and outlines. They are meant to be used with clear stampers so that placement is precise.

Clear nail stampers can help line up the design so it’s straight on your nails. the applicator for the stamping process is crystal clear so the artist can place the stamp exactly in position. This also allows for layering in different colours without the previous disastrous results from stamping “blind”.

The plates has many gorgeous flowers design such has daisy, rose, carnation, jasmine, there are also some cute butterflies.
I believe this plate is less well engraved than others from this brand, but if you use a super sticky stamper it will be fine.

These plates are available from www.bornprettystore.com

Blooming nail art! Ink/ watercolour effect

Hello!
As you know I have a special love for the water colours/ink effect nailart.
The technique is borrowed from the world of fine art an the result is stunning!
 I’m using the traditional method of ink that you would typically find when painting on paper, it doesn’t require precision.

The brand Born Pretty Store created a line of Blooming nail polishes for this purpose.

I have picked two colours the first one is:
BP-HI02 The Soul of Cloud, it is a light pink. In the bottle it appears as a clear orange, but it it will turn pink once you apply it on the nail.

The other colour I picked is the blue:
BP-HI01 The Glory of Star
A light blue that as the previous one appears a lot darker in the bottle.

The clear polish for smudging is from Nicole Diary, a brand that Born Pretty Store sells on its online shop:
ND07
https://www.bornprettystore.com/nicole-diary-watercolor-marble-nail-blooming-nail-polish-nail-varnish-manicure-design-p-45546.html

These  nailpolish  formula is a lot different from normal ones, it more liquind and thinner and it has a different smell.

Here is a short video tutorial to show you how I used them

Prep the nail and apply two coats of white polish followed (Here I used a glossy top coat but It work better with a matte top coat because it create a better surface to apply colours). You have to careful and apply the white colour evenly with no any brush stokes visible. There should not be any lines on the surface.

When the white polish is completely dry you can start adding few drops of both colours.
Then I applied the transparent blooming polish from Nicole Diary to smudge and create the unique effect.

Let the colours blends and let it dry for a few seconds.

Add other coloured drops if you need to. DO NOT overwork the colors with your brush. Let it dry.

 Apply top coat to seal in the design. As you can see from the video with the top coat the colours will turn a bit lighter and saturated, Keep this in mind when you create  the design.

Gradient gold rose glitter nail art! You can get a free gift from Born Pretty Store!

Hello!
Today I have a new nail art and a wonderful news to share with you!

I recently received a nail mail from Born Pretty Store. It is a long term collaboration with this brand and I am always thrilled to try their new product and show them to you all.

The big new is that Born Pretty Store is celebrating their 8th anniversary October 10th - 16th with tons of deals and sales and if you use my code RASX31 in the comment of your order during the celebration you get a free gift!

The first item I would like to review is this amazing glitter rose gold polish. It's name is Old Love BP-EL06 id code is # 43162. It is part of the Endless Love collection, a selection of nude pinks and glittery top coat that can work together or alone. I am sure your will find the perfect nude for your skintone in this collection because they have yellow tones pink and neutral tones pink, even a great dusty/grey pink.

Born Pretty Store recently introduced a new packaging, a new cute bottle and a lot of new collection and nail polish shades. They’re affordable and they’re different.

 Let’s have a closer look at to this particular shade:

This polish can be worn alone or over your favorite shade as a top coat.
It is made up bysome large, small and medium exagonal glitters suspended in a clear base.
The shade of the glitters is very beautiful is a metallic rose gold pink.
The formula is very good and it is easy to apply, I only had to dip my brush once to get a balaced mix of the three different sized glitters.

I think these kind of glitter polished are great for layering and to create a gradient glitter nail art.

A gradient nail art with a glitter polish is super easy and fast:
- Start with a base coat and a base colour. for this nail art I used a light delicate pink but I can see these glitters working well with any other shades, even the darker ones.

- I applied some glitters directly on the tip of the nail, then you can drag some of the glitters forward the center of the nail. You can also use a sponge for this step if you like.
And that's it!

Boho feather nail art with stamping pen!

Hello!
Today I have an amazing product to show you, a multiple purpose tool pen that will allow you to do a complete nail art.

It is a Dual-ended pencil Gradient Stamper Sponge from Born Pretty Store.

The company was kind enough to offer a 10% discount to my readers. Just use promo code RASX31  during checkout. Shipping is free on all orders as well!

It is an amazing tool, it has a tiny stamper that stamps the tiniest details with accurate precision. It picks up small accent designs or target specific areas of larger images. The soft silicone stamper head is 0.6” (approximately 1.5cm) in diameter, so you will be able to place your design pretty accurately. . It picks up images extremely well and it is very sticky.
As you can see from the picture it has small glitters inside, super cute!

Moreover the pencil has a clear acrylic handle filled with sparkly jewels.

The opposite end of this stamper features a soft circular sponge that can be dipped it colours to create gradient and shades.

 The sponge can be taken off for cleaning, I used it only with acrylic paint and I washed it with water and soap.

I really love this product and I think it is a innovation and a must-have. You can create a whole nail art only with this tool and nothing else.

This is the nail art I have created with this.

I started with a white base, then I added a tye-dye effect with the round sponge. I dabbed a mix of pink, purple and blue acrylic paint with the sponge and I gentily pressed it onto the nails. The more you repeat this step the more the colours blends.

Then I stamped with the tiny stamper. I was able to pick the smallest images and place them with precision.

Then I sealed the designs with a matte top coat.
For stamping I used this plate here:

I decided to add some studs and rhinestones.

On the ring finger I created a triangle shape in purple and gold.

On the thumb I created a line with rhinestone, I alternated gold, purple, lilac and pink.

I was able to be so precise because once again I used a very useful tool. This dual ended gem picker . This tool simplifies nail decoration and doesn't leave residues on the rhinestones.  

I hope you'll like the result!

Tropical nails! free hand with striping brush

Hello!
I recently received a nail mail from Born Pretty Store, I have been in an affiliation progam with this company for many years. I really trust their product and they always have nthe newest trend in the nail art field and I have never been disappointed.

This time I decided to experiment with some free hand designs. I picked some new brushes and tool.

I tried two striping brushes and i have decided to use one with acrylic paint and one with nail polish to see if there were some differences.

The first one I would like to show you is this Dual-ended Liner Drawing Brush . Id product # 42603
Nail artists know that you can never have enough nail art tool so when I find 2 products in one I am super happy. In this tool you will have one end with a dotting tool and the other end with a striping brush.

The company was kind enough to offer a 10% discount to my readers. Just use promo code RASX31  during checkout. Shipping is free on all orders as well!

The handle is very fancy, it is transparent and filled with sheer purple rhinestones. It is very beautiful and it stands out in my collection.

The brush is 14,6 cm in total, th string brush is 1,5 cm long,
The brush hair is very flexible and thin but quite resistant.  
If you use it for the first time it is a good idea to clean it with water and wipe them on a towel to get that stickiness out of the bristles and make sure all the hairs stick together for an optimal result.
This brush is very useful to draw  very thin lines, I thin they are perfect for abstract painting or organic design such as leaves, flowes, marble etc.

So I wanted to try a tropical nail art. As base I used a light pink. I started drawing a line for the branch with the striping brush and then a used a bigger brush for the leaves.
Then I draw the palm leaves only with the striping brush I mixed different colours from black, to green, dark green, light yellow.
When you use striping brushes with acrylic paint you can easly clean them with water.
