To Save stamping plate review







In my row of stamping plate reviews, I have reached a new brand To Save the online shop ww.tosave.com. that offered me to try some new products.
I always want to try new nail art tool so here I am with the review!







The plate includes 10 different larger designs (1.2 x 1.5cm each) and 9 smaller design engraved on to the stainless steel image plate and covered with a protective film to be removed before use. The image plate measures 6.5 x 12.5cm.




 The ten larger images are bigger than most common plates on the market, I am sure that they are carefully made to ensure almost any size nail. Every design is very detailed in order to be suitable even to tiny nails. I like the choice of adding smaller designs for small nails or layered nail art.

The main theme is mandalas. A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. In common use, "mandala" has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a microcosm of the universe.


How to use:
1) Remove the blue protective film.
2) Apply the Nail Polish of your choice to the design you wish to stamp.
3) Remove the excess nail polish with a scraper using a 45° angle.
4) Roll the stamp over the selected design being careful not to use too much pressure.
5) Transfer the design by rolling the stamp over you nail.
6) Apply a top coat for a longer lasting result.

As base I used some stiletto false nails that you can buy at this link

For the stiletto shape is very easy to obtain a coffin/ballerina shape. You simply have to cut the point and file the nail.
I used a silver nail polish to stamp and the I added to rhinestones on the middle and ring finger.



I hope you'll love the result!

Elephant rings set form To Save




Hello there!
How are you!?

Hands are quite a focal point in my pictures, as you can imagine, my hands are constantly in frame so I am alwyas trying new jewelry to make pictures more interested and stylish. Hands are very suitable for adornment  and since I am italian I really use them when I speak.
I praticularly like midi rings, rings to wear on your knuckles.
Today I am super excited to show you this new set of rings from the online store www.tosave.com


These nails are also from the online shop To Save and I have decorated them with some stickers. You can find them both a these links:

You can find the nail art tutorial in this post.



It was really hard to choose; on their shop this company has a large variety of accessories, from ring set to body jewelry and even bridal head pieces. Prices are very affordable and quality is good.



This midi ring set can be worn stacked or all on its own
I really like this set rings so much definitely worth the money as it comes 10 pieces in a set, had 10 different cute designs, loves the color tone it can be mix and match, comes with different sizes on every design. You can change everyday different rings depending on what you are wearing. The fact that they are so dalicate allows you to easily wear them with other pieces of jewelry such as a thin necklace for a more feminine look or stack them with all kinds of other rings for a bolder look.



I really love the vintange boho vibe this set has!

I like them all but my favourites are ones with the flower and the white pearl because that looks like a clear opal. I think the one with the elephant head is very nice too, Elephants in Asia are symbolizing a kind of divinity and benevolence but also good luck. All designs are cut very well and they are very comfortable to wear.  The rings sizes vary from midi to regular size, so you can just just switch them around to fit your fingers!

Black and white flowers nailart!


 Hello!
It's time for another nail art related review and today
For this nail art I used some products for the online shop To Save. They kindly sent me some product to review and show you!
In the last post I have reviewed a set of 600 false stiletto nails. I did not resist to try them with these wonderful black flower nail stickers.
In this blog post I'll also do a mini-tutorial for how I apply them.


I was captured by this design at first sight! It is all black and white and the flowers look like a sheer and delicate watercolour painting. I think that this design is very elegant and delicate. 

The sheet is 12 cm for 7.5 cm and the designs are in different sizes so that they can fit longer or shorter nails. You can do more than 3 complete nailart with these.
These stickers are very thin but strong at the same time. These kind of nail tools are even better than water decals because thir use is faster. These nail stickers can be applied directly onto the nail without having to dip them in the water like with the water decals.




These stickers are very easy to use. Since I am working on false nails I don't need a base but if you are working on natural nails you would prefer applying them on a well dried base colour.
You can use your nails or a pair of tweesers to remove the design for the sheet and apply it directly on your nails.
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 added some rose gold and pink paillettes because I wanted to give the idea of some flower pollen flying in the air. 

Here is a small video tutorial:

Set of white stiletto nails! Review


Hello there,
this blog post is addressed to all of those people who tried many thing buy never succeded in having their nails on point! If you tried gel nails, shellac, acrylic nails and you nails got ruined or cracked and breaked anyway, you should consider trying press on nails.

I know many of you would turn their nose up but things have changed.
If you are a 90s kid like me you probably remember the first branded press on nails on the market, they were tragic and not so easy to wear, not natural looking at all.
False nails have come such a long way and they became the perfect compromise between beautiful and comfortable.



I have received some products to review from the online shop ToSave www.tosave.com .
I really wanted to try these white pointy nails. They came in a bag that contains 600 nails in 10 different sizes from 0 to 9. Nails are divided by sizes and you will have extra nails in size 4 and 5 because I think they are the most common sizes.







You can even choose a colour:
 - transparent if you like to paint them with sheer nail polish or want to try a french manicure or french nailart.
- natural a sheer, milky white beige, the perfect base for light or nude colours
- white if you need a base for nail art or want a fast and easy nails-to-go

I picked white of course!
The size range is very large the larger nail is 2,5 cm long and 1,4 cm wide, the smallest is 0,7 cm wide.


The shape is the classic stiletto, hte point is not as sharp as some other nails and I think it makes them more elegant and easy to wear. You might need a bit of filing to even the point or the edges but they are ready to wear.
You can apply them with some nail glue or nail tabs if you want to reuse the nails.

How to apply?
-Remove any nail polish. Clean and dry your natural nails.
-Find perfect size for each finger. File sides if too large or long.
-Apply a thin layer of nail glue to the underside of the nail tip.
-Apply the nail near your cuticle and hold in place for a few seconds.

They are quite sturdy and a bit flexible on the base so the can adjust to the natural curve of your nail beds.
You can also change the shape easily by cutting and filing. From this stiletto shape you can do a coffin/ballerina shape in just two steps (I will show you in another blogpost) or do an oval or square shape.

Here is how they look on hands. Amazing right?




If you don't like wearing false nails or you are so lucky that you don't need to you can still consider buying a set of these nails to use to practice nail art or swatch colours without stressing your natural nails. The set is really cheap!


If you like these nails stay tuned because I am going to post some nail art and nail art tutorial using these as base!

Edgy and dainty jewelry review


Hello there!
Today I would like to show you something new!
I was contacted by the online shop ToSave  for a collaboration. They offered me some product to review and show you. I immediately said yes because I had a look on their site and they have the most beautiful items at the lowest price:
www.tosave.com



I was amazed by their jewelry selection, they have literally anything: necklaces, earrings, watches, jewelry set!

The first item that caught my attention was this metal choker necklace  in a golden colour.
I really love these kind of necklaces they are the good compromise between a choker and a statement necklace.



I think these kind of necklaces are an easy way to add personality to a simple outfit.
It’s as effortless as adding and I think this is the kind of accessorise that every girl or boy must have.



Moreover you have 48 styles to choose from, yes 48! The price can go from a minimum of 1.61 usd to a maximum of 2.45 usd. I picked style 3 but it was extremely hard to choose just one!


The shape is very interesting and original, it is a delicate V shape.   love how encircles your neck, it is an elegant and sturdy design . It's comfortable to wear and have a chain extention that make it adjustable to any size.



This necklace is perfect for the girl who likes to keep things simple and sophisticated.

I have decided to pair it with this cuff earring with a leaf pendant.




I've always loved ear cuff, they replaced most of my stud earrings because they are too cool! I love to wear cartilage hook for everyday, also sleek climbers or more detailed designs like this one.

 It has a small leaf hanging on a delicate three layered chains. This ear cuff will adjust in a curved shape, and it will easily adapt to fit snugly around the folds of the outer ear.
This earring is very light and this is the main quality I look for in earrings, light wear and super comfortable,


The leaf pendant is very well detailed:




These unique and modern pieces will instantly glamourize any of your staple wardrobe items, making sure you stay fashion-forward.





I decided to wear these two pieces with black faux leather top but I think they will give and edgy and rock touch to a simple white t-shirt too.
I think the right hair style will compliment you look too, you can style your hair in a side part or pulling one side of your hair back into a half-up do.

That's all for now,

Laura
