Hehe 060 stamping plate

Lady Queen is an international beauty shop, selling nail art,make-up and tools, jewellery, fashion bags etc. They offer free shipping all over the world. Here is a link to their nail art department where they have tons of nail art related items: stamping plates, glitters, rhinestones, dotting tools, brushes, foils and many other items.

 As I mentioned in my previous post I personally think that they offer the biggest selection of nail decalls, but besides that they offer a wide variety of stamping plates. I already reviewed hehe050 here. 

Today I'll present another hehe stamping plate. Since we are close to Christmas this one is a must have for the season, because it offer a wide variety of designs.
You can find it in Lady Queen nail art store in the section Nail Art, or you can just click this link.
This plate retails at 2.99$, but I got offered a 15% off discount code for all of my readers so you can get it even for less!




Size:
Whole design
width 5 cm
height 5 cm

Here are some more informations about the plate;

 No protection on the back (lightly sanded edges that are not too sharp)
Light weight
Well engraved
Good transfer to the stamp
Hard peace of metal and can not be bent or broken

My opinion:

I tried 2 different designs with this plate and I had no problems with stamping. The image transferred well, and didn't smudge. I tried to stamp all parts of the plate and I haven't notice any "bad" spots, so I can say that it is really well engraved. Because it is an all over design I had a lot of options in my mind. I also tried to put the horizontal designs vertically which turned out great (with smaller designs you don't have this option, because images are too small to flip them on the other side and they the design does not cover the whole nail). It is relatively cheap comparing to some other stamping plates.

Here are two designs I made with this plate:



In the pictures below you can see that even the sign Merry Christmas transferred really well on my nail. I really love these hehe plates! With this design I also flipped horizontal design vertically and I got even better results.





I really like how many options this plate offers. I will definitely use this one for other occasions too!

For all of my readers Lady Queen offered a coupon code for 15% discount. Use WEXS15 at the checkout. 




Nail Art Wednesdays #7

Hi!

Today I am wearing lace foil on my nails. It is not perfect, I really do need more practice, but I still like it a lot =).
For this manicure I used:
Madam Glam: Never Been so Chic (2 coats)
lace foil from Ebay
and Essie Good To Go

Here are the pictures




Despite it is not perfect I still like it. I will definitely try this again!
What do you think?

Untried Polish Challenge - Nrutral

Hi!

It's time to publish another manicure from Untried Nail Polish challenge. This time I had to make something neutral. I decided to use H&M duo nail polish set that I bought in September. I also tried to incorporate leaves since it is fall to have an excuse to finally try out my Red Angel image plates I received in my latest swap.

For this manicure I used:
H&M duo set, beige as a base and darker brown for stamping
Red Angel Stamping plates: RA-104 and RA-115

This is how it turned out:
 Maybe I should do something else to achieve a more neutral look, but I think that is still matches the theme.


Do you like it? Do you have Red Angel plates? They don't ship to Slovenia this is why I asked Amanda (my swapper) if I can order them to her house and then she ships them out to me, and she agreed and made me really happy!


Three challenge part 1-3: futuristic

It's time for the third manicure in three challenge 



For this part of challenge I had to make something futuristic looking. I found one interesting piece of clothing in the Internet, but I failed recreating it on my nails.
Here is a picture of the dress:

Interesting right? I would never wear it, but it really looks futuristic. doesn't it? =)

To continue with my nails
I wanted to use striping tape to create clear lines, but my nail polish wasn't completely dry and I ruined everything in my first try so in my second try I decided I'll just do everything with free hand. I won't count how many new grey hair did I get because of this manicure, but I'm pretty sure it was quite a lot and in the end I was really happy that at least I have something to show you, although it turned out far more worse that I ever imagined. 
Here it is:
My futuristic manicure=)



It's really not what I wanted to create, but at least with this colour combination and metallic colour everything looks futuristic, don't you agree?


Items that I used:
China Glaze :Millenium
Catrice: Hot or Not?
Beauty UK West end girl set: beige colour
and unknown light grey


Here are all the awesome ladies that also created something futuristic today =):







Three challenge part 2: ultra modern




I was supposed to publish this yesterday, but I've had a really busy day yesterday and I really didn't manage to prepare any posts, so I postponed them for today.
For this part of challenge I had to prepare something ultra modern. I really struggled with that one, and I must say that I'm really not pleased with what I came up, but I must admit, it is not a complete fail as well. 


I decided to go with this combination because:
  • I really think that this bundle monster design reminds me of something really modern
  • because I've never combined purple and green in my life, and since people really wear this combo it probably is modern ( or it's maybe modern only to me)

natural light

artificial daylight

Items I used:
Orly: Pure Porcelain
Bundle Monster 203 with Bichun(purple) and CG Jolly Holly

Stamping on this manicure is really crappy, but what the hell! This was my only idea and I really didn't have any spear time to correct it. 

What do you thing about my representation of ultra modern? Am I "altmodisch"( old-fashioned) ?

P.S. I'm really sorry for the horrible state of my cuticles. I'm really working on them( I was a bit to nervous on Tuesday) 


Here is the list of other girls that joined this wonderful challenge:



This is a bonus picture showing one of the reasons why I wasn't able to prepare a post



My best friend finished her diploma yesterday with 10, so we celebrated with cocktails. They were really delicious!!!
