Hi!
Today I'm going to show you a manicure I made with
Nail Vinyls NS02 from
Born Pretty Store. I think you all know Born Pretty Store, but just to make sure, 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.
Now on to the vinlys. Here is how they look:
Size: Width: 1,0 cm
Lenght: 2,8 cm
They are a bit too narrow for my nails, but because I made a delicate gradient this transition is not visible.
The use is pretty simple. You just stick them to your polished nails, you just have to make sure that the base polish is REALLY DRY! If you are careful you can use one sticker more than once.
You can polish over the sticker or sponge to get a gradient effect. I haven't tried stamping over this, but I'm not sure how would this work out, because there are small butterflies, and the stamping pattern wouldn't stand out the way it should.
For this manicure I used:
Born Pretty Store Nail Vinyls NS02
Revlon Peach Smoothie
P2 french kiss
China Glaze Strike a Rose
They were kind to offer 10% OFF code for my readers, just use COLLX31 at the check out.
Have you tried vinlys yet? This was my first try, and it was really easy!
Hi!
Today I'm going to show you the second part of the swatches od the polishes I received from
Madam Glam store this week.
Never Been So Chic
It is a beige creme nail polish. I applied 3 coats, the polish dried to a lovely shine (no top coat in the pictures).
This nail polish makes my hands look really tanned =).
This is an ideal base for some nail art, that is why I decided to use it as a base for my nail art Wednesdays.Probably the picture below looks familiar =).
BFF
This one is a light blue chreme base filled with black dots of various sizes. I applied 4 coats, but the polish dried quickly. I have it on my nails for 2 days now and I haven't noticed any chips. This one is really something special. I don't have anything like this in my collection.
Because I just had to improve my stripping tape skills I played around with tape and I ended up with this manicure. I love it! Don't you?
Base: Madam Glam BFF
Top: Essie Licorice
If you want to see the first part of my swatches you can find them
here. Overall I'm really impressed with these nail polishes, they dried fast and had a nice shine (especially the creme finish). The store offers a lot of different colours and finishes (they also have a matte top coat). I haven't tested the wear time, but BFF stayed on my nails for 2 whole days without any chips (that is really a lot for me)
I know I already told you this, but again I'd like to remember you, that Madam Glam offers a special discount code.
Hi!
Time for another manicure from
Untried Polish Challenge. As you can see I'm a bit late, since I was supposed to publish a manicure from this challenge every Friday, but I was really busy and tired from my seasonal job.
This time I had to make something cool. First I decided to try out Depend Ocean Blue 2033, but with first layer I realised it would look good with layering that's why I decided to add Essence Miss Universe and P2 boat trip. I played around a bit and came up with this:
I usually don't create manicures like this, but I think it looks good. I should definitely try things like this more often =)
P.S. I'm really sorry for my bad cuticle, but it is slowly healing and I hope it will be healed by my next manicure =).
I wish you all a lovely Sunday!
I'm finally getting back on track =)
Here is the 8th manicure for three challenge ( only 1 to go)
This is how I see edgy on my nails =)
Something I'd probably never wear for a long time on my nails =)
I used :
Pro nails: purple
and Essence Cute as Hell LE: Bad girl, this one applies like a fairytale! I always forget that =)
Be prepared for the last part of three challenge soon =)
Here is the list of the girls that took part in three challenge:
Hi!
This is another pre prepared post, because I'm in the capital, and I don't carry my lap top with me there so I have no other connection to internet but the library, but I think people will look at me like I'm a freak if I'd be writing a post about nail polish there, especially because it is a library for science geeks( chemistry, pharmacy, mathematics, physics, medicine, engineering,...).
Today I have a picture of a manicure that I cannot decide if I like or not. Firstly is the base color( Orly Calypso Breeze), I'm really not sure whether I like this color or not. When I bought it, I liked it a lot, and than I was looking at it at home and I was thinking what the hell was I thinking to buy this one. It was the same when I had it on the nails, but the opposite, firstly I hated it, but than I liked it, and when I started to like the color, I made dots on the base and then I suddenly hated it again, and this story goes on and on... In the end I decided that I'm going to remove it, but when I looked at the pictures I said to myself that it wasn't so bad at all, so I decided that it needs a second chance, but this is a story for another post =).
All a have to do is to show you the pictures, and I hope you'll be able to decide if you like it or not, because I'm still undecided =)
I used Sally Hansen Extreme Wear: Blue it for and a tooth pick for dots =)
Of course I had to show you earrings that I made especially for myself =)
I just realised that I forgot to take a shade picture, because it is way darker in shade.
Tomorrow I'm going to show you Calypso Breeze with konad =)
