Embossed mirror chrome nailart

Hello,
As promised I am going to show you how to achieve this look on nails.
I have seen some embossed nails around the internet last year.
The embossed effect is mainly created by a 3d gel polish applied with a thin brush to create designs and such as swirls, dots, lines.

I am recently enjoying trying out different nail technique and in this post I will share about 3D embossed nail art stickers
As you know I don't use gel polishes, so as always I have an alternative method.
In this short video I will show you how to achieve this look.


I started with a white nail polish base, I applied the 3D nail art sticker.
Then I applied a thin layer of the mirror reflect chrome polish from the company Born Pretty Store.
It is a unique formula that guarantees a mirror effect look in a few simple strokes.
This polish need a special base coat to smooth the surface of the nail and make the result last longer.
I was so dumb that I did not take the base coat so I ended up tring this nail polish on false nails and for a long lasting result I used a water base nail polish from Little Ondine and it worked perfectly.

Here is the video tutorial:

Silver and blue geometric nail art!

Hi again!

As I promised you, here is a special nail art tutorial for you!
I had pretty much fun with this one, I used a ring set (see previous post) as my main inspiration!

The two main colours are blue and silver.


I wanted to recreate the geometric design that are engraved on the rings.
I love geometric patterns but they are really hard to draw free hand, you need a steady hand and plenty of time to work on it.
So I end up using this wonderful plate from Born Pretty Store that I have already reviewd in this post.

For the best result I suggest you to use a clear jelly stamper so you will be sure to place the image exactly on the center of the nail and the gometric look won't be ruined. 

I used the lates Clear Jelly stamper from Born Pretty Store.

The company send it to me for a review. It is 3.9 cm in diameter. It has a clear and resistant horder  and it comes with a plastic flexible scraper.
I can say with no doubt that it is best I have tried so far.

                                 

The first thing I noticed about this stamper is that it has a cap, this is a great idea because it is easier to store it, I'm always worried to damage the jelly head. It is a clear marshmallow head, very big and soft and it covers even longer and larger nails.
The most important suggestion I have for this kind of stamper is: "please do not primer it". You don't have to file it or mattify it with pure acetone otherwise you will make clear head foggy and unclear,
In my opinion the best way to clean it is with the help of some tape.

I've filmed some small videos that show you how this stamper works, how it picks up the image and transfers the design on the nail. It works perfectly.

                                 

                                 

I added a couple of rhinestones and studs similar to ones in the ring set.

                                 

I hope you like it!

Best wishes,

Laura
