Hi!

Today I have another review post on a stamping plate from a well known Born Pretty Store. Here is a link to their nail art department where they have tons of nail art related items: stamping plates, nail decals, glitters, rhinestones, dotting tools, brushes, foils and many other items.

BP-L010 stamping plate
You can find this plate here, it costs 5,99 $, but it is currently out of stock.

This plate has :
14 all over designs (sized 2 cm x 1,4 cm) and
7 smaller designs
a plastic backing preventing cuts
super cute paper pocket for storing

 My opinion

As the Christmas plate, also this one has well engraved patterns and all the designs transfer perfectly. I really like the paper pocket for storing, and the way it looks (pretty expensive and classy). But in the end the most important for me is transfer quality and design size ( I have a lot of plates, but some of them I can only use on short nails). For these designs to be to small I have to grow my free edge for more 8 mm, which will probably never happen, this is why I can use this designs at any length =). 

The designs are something I would probably not chose ( I constantly put on lace or floral patterns), but when I played around with it, I'm really happy that I have this one in my collection, since it has some amazing designs on it. 

My favourites are: from left to right top row: 3, 4, 5 and bottom row: 1, 3 and 6. 

Here are some manicures I created with this plate

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:

Hi!

I was supposed to publish manicures from Untried Polish Challenge on Fridays, but lately my plans are not working out the way they should...but I'm still glad that I'm sticking with this challenge because it is a really good way to try out some untried polish. This manicures means I reached the middle of the challenge which makes me even more proud, since it's been a long time since I managed to keep up with my derisions for more than a week or two =). Enough of my rambling...

For this part of the challenge I had to use my newest untried polish, this was easy since you always remember which one you got last. This week I got 7 new nail polishes in a swap with a lovely girl named Sabina, which made it a bit harder to pick out one, but in the end I decided for Kiko 494. 

I must say that this polish is really not meant to be mine! Firstly I applied it on Friday, but I managed to get a big dent in my manicure before taking pictures. Because I was busy I wasn't able to reapply it before Saturday evening ( at that time I was tired and lazy and I really didn't feel like taking pictures). Well than on Sunday morning I went to work and managed to get chips. Now I'm finally writing my post with the third application of this polish this week. They say thee times a charm, and I must say that it probably works for this polish too.

I must say that it looks amazing, but it chips really fast and that is not common for Kiko. I must say I'm slightly disappointed. 

For the pictures I applied 3 coats of Kiko 494 without top coat.

 You can see that I did and awfully bad clean up, I really have to start thinking about buying liquid palisade or something similar.

Finally!

It was about time to publish this tutorial I promised more than a month ago.

Firstly I'd like to say, that this is not my idea. I saw it on YouTube ( click HERE), and because I really liked I decided to make a tutorial, with slightly different method.

*Because I had some issues with copyright I made a little bit different colour combination than in my previous post*

 

Here is the look I made:

 

Hi!

I'm probably really late for a Valentines day manicure, right?

I made this manicure quite some time ago also with a tutorial for SLO store, and because I promised I'll give them copyright for my pictures I didn't publish my manicure here. Because I loved my manicure and I really enjoyed wearing it, I just had to break my promise and publish it here. 

Here it is, my beloved ombre heart manicure:

P.S. I'm really sorry for such a depressing post 2 days ago. I was really down, and tired, but I'm really working on things that are going on in my head, and I promise that I won't whine about things like that on my blog, especially because doing nails makes me happy and I want to keep this blog a happy place =). For me and all of my sweet readers =)

I was doing some shopping today. Here is what I bought:

Tomorrow at 10 o'clock I have the most important exam this year so pleas keep your finger crossed for me. I really NEED to pass this one =)
