The struggle of finding a perfect yellow gold stamping polish is over!

Hi!

I'm not sure of you have this problem, but I have always wanted to find that perfect YELLOW GOLD stamping polish. I have quite a few gold polishes for stamping but none of them is not yellow, like real gold. ( It is actually funny how much I wanted a yellow gold polish, but I really hate wearing any king of gold jewellery). 
When looking at the Born Pretty Store stamping nail polish collection I noticed that #1 looked promising, but I did not expect much from it (because I've had a lot of gold polishes that were not good for stamping). It really surprised me when it arrived! It was that perfect yellow gold with great pigmentation that in my opinion every girl MUST have.
It cost's 8,42 $, (if you use my code you can get it for 7,58 $)

First I tried it over a red base. Red and gold combination is a classic for me. I used BP-L029 stamping plate and added some dots with dotting tool. The transfer of the desing was good (one flower is croocked because of my clumsines, not the polish)



Here I tested this stamping polish over black and white and you can see that it works over both bases, but it looks more yellowish when stamped over black. Again I used BP-L029 stamping plate.


I did a sloppy job at stamping here, but I just wanted to show you how it looks over different bases.


Here I used it also as a freehand nail art polish and because it is pigmented it worked great!


Which one is your perfect gold stamping polish? 

My opinion:

It is a great stamping polish (way better than Konad gold), it is not the cheapest out there, but for the quality and quantity (15 mL) you get it I think it is worth the money! It transfers great, but I did notice that it has a funky smell ( I got used to it, so now it does not bother me anymore). I will defenitely get myself some more (when I earn some money, since I'm broke at the moment).

Lady Queen QJ - L044 decals

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. I personally think that they offer the biggest selection of nail decalls, which are super easy to use and can give that special cherry on the top to a perfect manicure.



Today I'm going to present you QJ - L084, they cost 1,73$ (with my coupon code they cost a bit under 1,50$)

You can see that inside there are letters in 2 different sizes with flowers and some meaningful words. At the back (didn't take a picture) there are easy instructions on how to use these decals. You seriously can't do anything wrong here!

Here is how I used them:
1. I polished my nails.
2. When they were dried I prepared a cup of water and scissors.
3. I cut out the desired design
4. I put the design in the water.
5. I gently slided the design of the paper and put it on my nails.
6. I applied top coat.

My opinion:

 These decals are really easy to use. This sheet will last me for at least 10 - 15 manicures so this costs less than 20 cents per manicure.  
The only downside I see is that these decals are not reusable.


Because these decals have some meaningful words I decided to make my nails more meaningful. I wrote Joy with decals and added happiness and be happy. I also added some dotted flowers. I like how it turned out.

I used:
Essence My wish List (Base 2 coats)
Revlon Peach Smoothie
Essie Cute as a Button
P2 French Kiss
Essence Wild White Ways
and QJ - L084 decals




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




Spring challenge part 2

Hi!

I'm a bit late with my second manicure, but I've had a hectic week and I didn't manage to make it on the assigned date.

I also didn't have time to plan this manicure so it turned out to be the way I didn't want, but I'm still sharing it, because it is not a complete disaster too =).

I used:
BarryM: Indigo, Berry IC Cobalt blue and Bright purple
Maybeline NY: baby blue
China Glaze Adore




I do like it, but I just hate that I wasn't able to connect my ring finger to all of the other nails =(.

Maybe my next manicure will be better =)

Here are all the other girls that are participating in this challenge
