Fall nail art with thermal polish from Bron Pretty Store BP-I02 Hoh Xil



Hello!
I recently received a nail mail for Born Pretty Store, with two beautiful nail polishes from the new collections.

The first shade I would love to show you is a thermal staming polish in the shade BP-I02 Hoh Xil id code # 42853.

 You can use my coupon code at check out to get 10% off RASX31 on www.bornprettystore.com

 The color is effected by the temperature of its surroundings ~ cold weather, sunlight, cold or warm water, or holding a hot or cold drink. When cold, this polish is a deep burgundy almost black shade but changes to various shades of  burgundy and magenta as it gets warm. If you have long nails, the base will be magenta and the tips can be more darker.

This is also a stamping polish so this means that it is very pigmented and high coverage. I was really amazed by this shade, it became my favourite stamping polish becasue it transfers perfectly onto the stamping and then into the nails. You have to be quite fast during this process otherwise it will dry, but this happens because it is extremely pigmented.


This is how it looks when it is cold:


This is how it looks when it is warm:



As you can see even when it is wark and lighter it does not loose coverage.


I have decided to pair this colour with a light blue colour topped by another Born Pretty Polish with multi-chrome flakes "Fiery Love"  M 18 # 39974.


 The polish is made up by a clear base with some chamelion flakes. The shade shift from magenta/ red, copper to a green jade, yellow and blue it depends on the light. In the sun light it brights a lot and the shade of the glitter flakes shifts, it looks like a rainbow!

For stampin I used this floral stamping plate you can find in this bundle:

Romantica rose gold with a hint of lavender! Mirror chrome nails with no effort! Video Tutorial




Hello there!
Today I would like to show you this wonderful shade from Madam Glam!

SUPER GOOD NEWS: there’s a little treat for you: you can get 30% off your entire orders with this coupon code  - Laura30

This shade is called Romantica it is from the Metallic Hybrid collection.
It is called Hybrid because it can be used both as regular Nail polish and Gel.

The metallic effect is stunning, it is between chrome and mirror and the shade is very unique. It is a gold rose with a hint of lavender.
Metallic normal nail polishes are really tricky to apply, they always leave stricky marks and they are never like the mirror powder salon nails.

These metallic Hybrid polishes are the perfect solution to get that perfect effect with no effort.




Use as Nail Polish: You can let them air dry completely and then remove with any nail polish remover.

Use as Gel Polish:
1) Apply a gel base coat and cure

2) Apply a no wipe top coat and cure. Don’t skip the layer of top coat over the base gel. It provides a smoother surface for the metallic and gives the metallic particles something to grab.

3) Apply a very very thin even layer of metallic. Cure for 3 minutes untill you get the complete metallic effect

4) Apply the no wipe top coat and cure.


Here is a short video tutorial that show you how to use this Metallic Hybrid as gel polish
In this tutorial I use a nail tip so I skipped the application of the base coat. If you use your natural nails please don't forget this step.

Madam Glam cat eye gel polish! Galaxy in a bottle! Surprise for you!




Hello!
Today I have some new amazing product to show you!
A few weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely Andreea from Madam Glam link here ( https://madamglam.com/?utm_source=yt-Laura30 ).  They kindly offered me to try some of their products for a review. I immediately said yes!

If you haven't heard about this brand, it is a New York based brand, offering vegan, cruelty-free and super healthy products.

They have worked hard to create the formula of gel polishes, that is cruelty-free, 5 free and vegan, in hundreds of colors and variations: thermal gels (we call them chameleons, they change color depending on temperature), cat eye gels, one-step & many more!

I was truly amazing by the large range of products and colours, creative formulas such as one step gels, and metallic hybrid, finishes and competitive prices.

They set me a starter kit with one base coat,, one top coat no wipe, two colours at my choice and a lamp. I t was so easy and fast to use. the tow shades are amazing and I higly recommend this company and these products!

 SUPER GOOD NEWS: there’s a little treat for you: you can get 30% off your entire orders after  with this coupon code  - Laura30

follow this link: https://madamglam.com/?utm_source=yt-Laura30





They also sent me some tool for removal and the magnet for the cat eye nail polish, the shipping was super fast, the packaging box is very elegant, there were also instruction on how to use the products.





It was my first time with gel polishes and I had no problem at all, everything worked perfectly, the process was simple and fast.




The first shade I would like to show you is and amazing cat eye gel polish "Galactic Mist".


It is a magnetic nail polish, a new trend in nail design that uses iron filings in the polish that respond to a magnet to form different shapes and effects on the surface of the nail. You need a magnet to make it work so please don't forget to buy one.

On the Madam Glam website, they suggest to apply the gels on a black base. I actually  applied the gel on some dark burgundy tips and the result was amazing.

I really like the formula, it is very pigmented the iron particles are quite dense, so they usually sink to the base layer of the polish as it’s applied. When you place the magnet over the nail, the iron particles rise toward the surface and stay there due to the curing effect of the UV lamp.



Compared to others normal magnet polishes I think the cat eye effect is a lot more visible and effective.
I really like the colours, the base is a blue tones purple  and the iron filing pigment is a golden orange. The magic galaxy in a bottle is here, it really looks like a bound system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter. I think this affect is amazing and I am never tired of looking at it!



These are the instructions on their site:

Instructions:
1. After base coat applied and cured apply one layer of black gel polish and cure.
2.Shake your Cat Eye bottle
3. Apply one layer of your cat eye color. DO NOT CURE!
4. Hold the magnet stick close to the nail in the position where you want the 3D effect
5. Once you have the effect you want, cure under LED (30sec.) or UV Lamp (2min.)
6. Apply top coat and cure. Your Cat Eye Nails are ready with an awesome 3D effect.
 You can create multiple effects by repeating the steps and holding the magnet in different positions over your nails.

Magnetic polish "the gravity" from Born Pretty Store and free gift surprise!


Hello!
Today I am going to show you this magnetic nail polish that I have recently received from Born Pretty Store.

Before I move on with the review I would like to let you know 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 nail polish I would like to show today is from the Chameleon 3D Magnetic Aurora Series and this shade is called "The gravity" id code # 42398



You can find it at this link:
https://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-chameleon-magnetic-aurora-series-nail-polish-nail-black-base-needed-p-42398.html

It is a beautiful multichrome shade it contains pigments that shift from one colour to another depending on the lights, it can shift from blue to purple and dark green. It already stunning used alone but what makes it special is the fact that it is magnetic: a magnetic nail polish is a new trend in nail design that uses iron filings in the polish that respond to a magnet to form different shapes and effects on the surface of the nail.




To make it work you need a magnet, when you put the magnet near the polish the magnetic particles are attracted by it so they pull and tight along the magnet. The magnet can have different shapes, this means you can have differents designs on your nails. The most common are the eye cat and the line shape, but lately Born Pretty came out with some different magnets like the dual ended pen magnet.


On one end of the tool there is a flower shaped magnet.




On the other end there are 4 dots in a line.





The application is very fast and easy. These kind of polish need a base, a darker base works better with them.

Apply a base coat  and then a darker polish of your choice, I picked a dark burgundy colour.
Apply a thick  coat of "The Gravity". Use a larger amount of nail polish than you might normally to coat the surface of a nail before you use the magnet on it.

Hold the magnet over the nail for 10-15 seconds, without touching it to the surface of the nail.
You will see that the magnet creates a pattern in the polish color, due to the iron shavings in the polish moving in the presence of a magnetic field.

Here a brief video to show you how I did it:

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!

www.bornprettystore.com



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!
