First Autumn nail art with Nicole Diary water decals



Hello!
Happy first day of Autmn!
I really like this season, as this season offers colors more striking to the eye like all the warm tomes of red, brown and yellow. The sky turns a brighter and deeper shade of blue, Warm during the day, cool enough to sleep well during the night.  I love to watch the color changes of the whole world: green in summer becomes amber, gold, and red in autumn.




That's why I picked this beautiful leaves water decals set from Nicole Diary.ù
NICOLE DIARY is a fashion-based nail art brand founded in 2011 by "NICOLE", she believes that"creativity is the key note of all perfect nail arts". They offer free shipping worldwide and prices and products quality seems to be excellent.

It takes 2 or 4 weeks but the shipping time depends on your country.
 Id product code # 120. The company kindly sent me this products for reviews, they have a wide range of designs to choose from at the smallest price 1,99.

Don't forget to use my coupon code for 10% off LAPI10 on www.nicolediary.com
There is a wide range of water decals and designs, I am sure you will find the right one for you.



The size of the sheet is approx. 6.5cm x 8cm.
 One sheet always comes with 10 designs on it. There are four different sizes, so you can choose the one that fits your nail best or use different ones on different sized nails.
The decals come with some instruction on the backs, which is great when you are using them for the first time.


This design features delicate braches and small leaves in burnt red, brown orange and turquoise.
I really love this pattern and it perfect in real life, the dark lines and the colours are not grainy or blurry at all,



These decals look best when applied on light beige/white colored polish,

How to apply

Start with clean nails and neatly pushed back cuticles and a base polish of your choice.
Paint one or coats of  a  sheer white or light colored nail polish (the decals themselves are slightly sheer so the background will show through them a bit, that's why a white background works best.)
Cut the decal you want to use to fit your nail
Dip it into some room temperature water for about 10 seconds (it helps if you use tweezers to hold it)
Take out the decal and gently slide the film on top (which will have the design on it) off the paper
Position the decal onto your nail, once you're happy with the placement you can softly pat dry with a tissue, or leave them to air dry
Once completely dry, file off any bits of decal that are hanging off the nail
Finish with top coat.

You can use these decals with normal polishes or gel polishes.

On index finger and pinky I created a gradient shade with a striping brush, I tried to match some leaves colours such as deep red and burnt orange.

Last good day of the year! Last summer buttlerfly nail art! Nicole diary stamping plate



Hello,
today last day of summer I would like to share a colourful and summery nail art!



I used an amazing plate form Nicole Diary. It is part of the Tattoo Collection. The entire collection is amazing, the designers did an amazing job choosing and putting together each plate

The number 1 has a series of skulls and skeletons mixed with flowers and spiders, (I really regret not ordering this one too because it would have been perfect for  Halloween), number 2 and 3 are the ones that I got and I will show you in this post and in the following ones, number 4 features a series of flowers leaves and  tribal, number 5 features some beautiful geometric and abstract designs, it has a great boho vibe.

Now it is time to show you my favourite one:
Plate number 02 and you can find it at this link:

As you can see from the pictures this plate is very one of a kind, most designs show the figure of girls mixed with nature elements or animals.

Most images are a fusion between a girl face and a butterfly. I think this theme was perfect for the last day of summer.   To Native Americans, the butterfly is a symbol of change, joy and color. The exquisite butterfly was considered a miracle of transformation and resurrection. Butterflies have such a magical presence They're so graceful and beautiful, it always lights me up seeing them.

As base I added some random light colours, I wanted to create a rainbow effect, then I coated with a bubble effect top coat. It gives a pearlescent effect. Then I stamped with a pigmented blue from Kiko.

Flower nail art with Beauty big Bang stamping plate XL-011



Hello! 
Today I have this beautful stamping plate show you. It is from Beauty Big Bang  
This company has a great variety of nail plate collections at a very affordable price. 
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.









The plate number is XL_011 and you can find it a at this link:

https://www.beautybigbang.com/products/flower-butterfly-design-rectangle-nail-stamping-plate-summer-series-for-manicure-bbbxl-011

It is also part of a bundle of 6 pcs of stamping plate for only 14.70 euros.

I think this plate is very well edged. Each design transfers easily and was extremely sharp as you can see from the pictures.
This nail stamping plate features different flower and nature related designs it has a butterflies and various floral pattern, leaves and tree shape and some abstract pattern too. That allows the user to create multi-layered and multi-colored nail art designs with ease.
On the side it has singular flower designs and some cute and smaller bees, I will use them in another nail art for sure. I think it is a clever idea to add smaller elements on the plate so you can use it on smaller nails or on your toenails.





For the base colour I decided to use another product from Beauty Big Bang: a mermaid shell nail polish, It is a beautiful pearlescent shade between pink, peach and delicate gold.
You can find the mermaid collection at this link:
https://www.beautybigbang.com/products/9ml-misty-rose-shiny-mermaid-shell-nail-polish-for-manicure-nail-art-004




For stamping I used a very pigmented burgundy nail polish from Kiko and a clear jelly stamper from Beauty Big Bang:


I think that the combo of stamper and stamping plate worked perfectly. With this stamper it is better to use a roller motion to pick up the design perfecly. 



I decided to use the reverse stamping techinique and paint the flowers in white. It was so easy with the clear stamper head!


Here on the ring finger I used the mermaid polish to fill the flower design.



A second version adding some glitters:



I hope you'll love this nails art.

Burgundy lace nails! Beauty Big Bang nails



Hello!
Welcome back for another post on my blog.
This blog post is about this gorgeous lace nail art plate from Beauty Big Bang the product ID is XL-015 (id product BBBXL-015).
It is a beatiful plate that features all very detailed lace images.



What I like the most about this plate is that it has 14 different images with different designs, some are flower pattern  and others are geometric or abstract but they are all very elegant.

The plate measures 6*12cm and the images are quite large so they will fit even longer nails.
It cames in protective paper sleeve with the brand name on it and like any other plate it has a blue film that has to be removed before use.





The plate is very well engraved and it picks up every image perfectly, make sure you use a pigmented polish for stamping.

For my nail art I decided to use the nails I used as swatches in the previous post, I used different colours and as top coat I used the Misty Rose Shiny Mermaid Shell Nail Polish.
In this case different colours can give a bit variations on a plain stamping.






I really like the design on the middle finger it has a nice retro vibe, like a a 60ies wallpaper. I decided to stamp with a a metallic dark burgundy from Kiko.
I really like the result and I think this plate is a must have if you love lace design, it can be wonderful for a wedding nail art in white or for a sexy Valentine nail art in black or red. You can create a huge variety of gorgeous nail art designs.

Mermaid nails polish from Beauty big bang!




 Hello there!
welcome back to my blog!
 I have received a nail mail from Beauty Big Bang, the company kindly sent me some product to try and review from you.

I really like iridescent and pearlescent colours or top coat so I was amazed to find a mermaid/shell collection on their site.

There are four different shades available and they are all very beautiful, all very summery. Each shade has a unique combination of colour and shimmer, the pearl finish reminds of sea shells and undersea  magic creatures.
The one I got is shade 3A and you can find it here. It is a rose gold/pearl sort of shade, id code J6499TM-3A
They are super affordable at just 2,23 euro each for 9ml of product.







What makes these nail polishes so beautiful is the fact they have a delicate two-toned formula. At first just looking at the bottle it is hard to tell, but once you try them you will see how amazing they are! 
The formula is not stricky compared to others similar polish, of course you have to pay a little more attention when you apply it. It has a big rounded brush, my favourite, so it help the application a lot.
The colour is meant to be a bit sheer but you will have a full coverage with two or three coats.

I think this shade is great for somebody  who likes a coloured nail style but doesn’t want anything too bold or want to a chic twist to a natural manicure. Under a natural light it can shift from a vivid pink to a more gold pearl nude.



They can be used alone for a subtle, shimmery nail, or they can be painted over white or black nail varnish for a completely different look!



 Using them over different colours will  transform the base colour, in these pictures I did some tries over some of my favourite colours:





 As you can see the gold rose shade is visible on any colours and more vivid on darker colours. I think the shade became more gold on red base colours. The result was very surprising on blue and purples, I think this is a combo that I will try soon!
