Plum cat eye with 2 in one magnet uv gel lamp!








Hello! 
I have recently received a package from Born Pretty Store full of new and unique items!

The item I would like to show you today is this cat eye gel polish



You can use my coupon code

These polishes are a great trend today because they are an easy way to create designs a few seconds.

The cat eye polishes are called like this because you can create a shiny strip down across the middle reminiscent of the piercing, beautiful eyes of a cat.

Magnetic polishes are a magical invention. With the power of a magnet, some pigments of the color are attracted to areas of the nail, and with movement and different viewing angles, shift colors and location on the nail for a futuristic 3D effect.

There are 6 colours to choose from, the one that I have is the shade called  BP-CE02 Plum Flower id product # 48348 it is a purple with a pink red duo chrome, a very nice colour and looks great on black!




To create the cat eye effect I used this new amazing tool! Magnetic UV Lamp Two-in-one id # 47707. It looks like it comes from space but it a 2 in 1, it is a magnet (that covers different effects) and a mini gel lamp!


It has a  usb cable so you can use it while on your computer.  There are three different colours to pick from pink, white and black.
The magnts are oriente and the left and right bars, while the uv light is at the middle in the circle part.
I think it is a very useful tool because when you work with magnetic polish you have to work fast in order to get lines as sharp as you need, when the magnet is not near the lines blurr a bit. Here you have two tools in one to avoid this problem. Moreover you can move the magnet and create different effects.

Floral summer nailart







For this nail art I have decided to use this Nicole diary stamping plate L21 you can find it in the  Born Pretty Store online store. It is a plate that is compltetely dedicated to flower designs. It is perfect to create an iper realistic floral design, or more stilized modern nailart.

Here it is the wonderful plate I used for this look. It is very big and has plenty of designs to choose.
It is one of the biggest plate I own, it measures 14.5cm * 9.5cm.

On the bottom part it has different full pattern, that feature floral designs. On the rest of the plate there are singular flowers and leaves some animals like butterflies and birds.

I really find the kinds of designs very modern and edgy.
The images a really in many different sizes and you can use them orizzontally or vertically to fit any nail size! You can mix some of the desings use the geometric elements as background or add lines next to the flowers pattern, you can also layer many details in different colours.




 The plates are etched with precision and at a perfect depth giving an excellent stamping image.

Born Pretty Store Texture plate




Today I have a review post on this Texure stamping plate [Texture-L002*, link] that I got from Born Pretty Store for review purposes.
Id product # 47461

You can use my coupon code
RASX31 for 10% off on www.bornprettystore.com




The plate is 12cm x 6cm, it is in stainless steel and the backing is in hard white plastic. The plate comes in a nice paper sleeve and has a blue protective film that needs to be removed before use.
There are patterns on this plate. They stamp and pick up nicely, and they work with nail polish and stamping polish too.


On the left side we have vegetation elements such as tropical leaves and flowers.


On the right side of the plate we find: on the top row leaves patters and a macro leaf detail, on the bottom row some abstract patterns. These last designs reminds me of that particular water marble techinique with spray alchool.
I find this kind of patterns so interesting so I decided to use them in this nailart.


The designs are very well engraved on to the stainless steel image plate, images are precise with sharp edges. I had no trouble picking them up.




As color base I used the Thermal Senstive Gel  and the black stamping polish from Born Pretty Store

Thermal Sensitive gel from Born Pretty Store! Tips ad Tricks



Hello!
I have already showed you this amazing Thermal Sensitive gel from Born Pretty Store in a previous post. Today I would like to show you another nailart and share some tips and tricks with you for a perfect application.
A Thermal Senstive gel is a very very sensitive colour changing paint that can change up to 12 different colours depending on the temperature. It truly looks like magic in a pot.
Id product # 48176



You can get a 10% discount at @bornprettystore @bornprettyofficial using my code RASX31



The product comes in a pot that contains 2 gr of products.


After you open it for the first time it can appear a bit cakey or lumpy, it can be due to temperature, so the best way to restore it is to try to stir it, put it in a sealed plastic bag and immerge it in warm water or add a bit of warm water and stir it again.

I have just tried to stir it a little bit and it helped a lot.



The paint is in a light beige colour. It has to be used only with gel polishes and with a black base underneath.
You have to apply a good amount of products otherwise the effect will not be very visible.
I have tried to work with thin layers but I have found out that the best way to apply it is with a dotting too, so that you can form a very even and quite thick layer of product.


Another suggestion is to be patient and wait for the Thermal Sensitive to be completely dry, this means that the light beige paint will turn almost completely transparent (or starting to show the changing effect). This is can take up to five- ten minutes if you made a thick layer.


You have to secure the design with a top coat so you will encapsulate the liquid and make it durable, with no lifting.

Here is a video to show the shift from cold to hot and a very special Norther Light effect.


Here is a collage with all the shades



Here are all the colours in details (but there are others if the temperature rises up)

a deep blue

 a turquoise
 mint green
 light green
 orange ad lime

 dark copper

Geometric Spider Gel! So fast and easy!


Today I would like show a very unique product!
The company Born Pretty Store contacted me in order to try some brand new products on their collection.
I have already tried Spider Gel from Nicole Diary and I was curious to try another colour.

So I picke the Born Pretty Store Spider Gel in the colour BP-SG01 White id code #46740

You can also use my coupon code RASX31 for 10% discount 




"Spider gel,"is  an innovative nail art formula very famous on Instagram (that requires almost no tools). The product came in a pot with the brand name and the colour, It looks like a really thick gel, and then when you put a little toothpick or something in it, you can draw out a string of the stuff, and drape the gel on the nail.


This thick gel allows you to create perfectly straight lines for your nail art without stencils or specialized brushes. If last time I went for a Pollock dripping effect this time I have tried a geometric look!


I used two toothpics at the same time to draw perfect straight lines, it was incredibly fast and easier than I thought it would be.


It is a gel so you need a UV lamp to use it.
You have to use it over a cured base and a no wipe top coat, don't make the mistake I made to use it over a wet base (the lines will broke and flow, which an interesting effect but not the desired one).
I have decided to apply a no wipe soak off top coat over it.

Blue stamping polish from Born Pretty Store


Hello,
today I would love to review a stamping polish from Born Pretty Store.
It is a beautiful blue and you can find it at this link

https://it.aliexpress.com/item/4000430946410.html?spm=2114.12010611.8148356.41.36c47d33r62gGH

Born Pretty Stamping polishes have been a discovery, they are the best stamping polishes I have ever tried, you can't be wrong with them.
These kind of polishes are very very pigmented and are perfect for any stamping technique. One of the biggest tips out there for successfully mastering the art of stamping is to invest in top quality nail stamping polish.



As you can see from this picture this nail polish is excellent, long-lasting, chip-resistant with supersaturated colour pigments.
It has an excellent consistency, it is not very thick or too thin, it is full cover in one cover, very hard for dark polishes. You will get one cute bottle that has the capacity of approx. 6ml.

The colour I have choosen is FW15 but there are others 14 shades to pick.



As you can see the stamping quality is execellent, the polish film trasfers on the stamper and the onto the nail very easly, with no creases. 
Here I have used a Sensitive thermal polish, see previous post to know more.




 The stamping plate I used is Born Pretty Texure L002
