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!

Stained shattered glass! Nail tape and wax pen from Born Pretty Store

Hello!
I feel really inspired today!
I just received some products form Born Pretty Store and I wanted to use them all... well at least some of them.

The first one is this set of mermaid iridescent tape.
You can order one singular piece or all the colours: grey, purple, blue, green, pink and yellow.
Of course I wanted them all there all 3 sizes available 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm. The ones I used here are 3 mm.

This product can be used onto natural nails or false nails, with normal polish or gel.

I love how the colours are very delicate but still visible and I am in love with the iridescent effect.
These tape is self adhesive so it does not need a wet polish, it can be easilt cut in small pieces to create a beautiful shattered glass effect.

In my nail art I tried to follow the rainbow colour  from indaco to red/pink.
 Then I accentuated the shattered effect with black lines, like a stained glass effect.
For this I used a striping brush and some acrylic black paint. then I sealed with a clear nail polish.

For the ring finger I used the tape vertically across the nail and the I added some triangular holo paillettes.

The sequins are beautiful but they a bit tricky to pick up because of the triangula shape. This time I had this wonderful tool to help me: this wax pencil picker.

On one end it has a sticky wax tip that will help you to pick it up rhinestones and studs or even foil paper. Since I have long nail I have been having hard time picking up small pailettes and this tool is very useful.  On the opposite end there is a metal tool that it is meant to push onto the rhinestones or sequins to make sure it is stuck into the glue.

I really love this product, the only advice I have is that if you live in cold country or you use this product in winter you have to warm a bit the wax point with your hand.
The wax won't stain the rhinestone because it is clear.
I really appreciated the fact that the product comes in a nice hard plastic box that prevent any kind of damage and help you store it easily. you can also pick a colour: pink or this tiffany light blue, m favourite.

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!
