Avon Magic Effects Liquid Sequin

Hi!

Today I prepared a bit different post for you, my dear readers! 
Many of you problably don't have these fancy tools and nail art stamping plates for creating beautiful and easy christmas or new years themed nails. Today I prepared a post on how you can easily create simple but pretty manicures for the holidays using Avon Liquid Sequin nail polishes.

Danes sem za vas moje predrage bralke pripravila malo drugačno objavo.
Mnogo izmed vas nima božično ali novoletno obarvanih šablon doma, ampak to še ne pomeni, da z malo truda ne morete ustvariti lepih in preprostih prazničnih nohtov. Za vas sem pripravila 3 vodiče, kako si lahko pričarate praznično vzdušje na nohtih z laki iz Avonove kolekcije Liquid Sequin.

This collection includes 4 different nail polishes in  Glitterati, Sequin, Dazzle and Glimmer ( I have 3 from this collection as shown in the picture below).

Kolekcija Liquid Sequin Vsebuje 4 čudovite praznične lake z imeni Glitterati, Sequin, Dazzle in Glimmer (Vse razen zadnjega lahko vidite na spodnji sliki).


Now I'll show you picture tutorials on how to create 3 easy but still pretty holiday themed manicures.

Sedaj vam bom predstavila 3 slikovne vodiče za preproste, a vendar kljub temu simpatične praznične manikure.


Chirstmas Tree and Gifts

Božično drevesce in darila




Here are detailed instructions:

1. Polish your index, ring and pinkie with black base. Use Avon Sequin on all of the fingers (I applied 1 coat over black and 3 coats on my middle finger). 

2. With a thin brush or toothpick draw 2 thin lines.

3. Shape a bow (also with toothpick or brush).

4. Polish a thick coat of Sequin on a peace of foil and let it dry.

5. When the peace of Avon Sequin on the foil is dry, cut out Christmas thee with scissors.

6. Put clear polish on your ring finger and than gently place Christmas tree on top. Add a layer of top coat.

Optional: You can add glitter from Avon Sequin to add Christmas light to the tree.

Navodila:

1. Prstanec, kazalec in mezinec prelakiraj s črnim lakom za nohte. Na vse nohte dodaj plast Avon Sequin. Čez sredinec pa nanesi 3 plasti, da prekrije belo konico nohta. 

2. S tankim čopičem ali zobotrebcem nariši tanki črni črti.

3. S čopičem ali zobotrebcom nariši še mašnjico.

4. Na kos folije nalakiraj debelo plast Avon Sequin in počakaj da se posuši.

5. Suh lak odlepi in s škarjami izreži obliko božičnega drevesca.

6. Na prstanec najprej nanesi plast prozornega laka, nato pa nanj previdno položi izrezano drevo. Dodaj nadlak.

Opcijsko: Z zobotrebcem lahko iz laka Avon Sequin dodaš na drevesce bleščice in s tem drevescu dodaš lučke. 

Because I wasn't completely satisfied with this manicure I decided to replace Christmas tree with a bow for a gift. This is what I ended up with:

Ker z videzom smrečice nisem bila popolnoma zadovoljna sem na prstanec narisala mašnjico in naredila na nohtu še eno darilo. Takole pa je izgledala ta manikura:




You can see how Avon Sequin looks on it's own on my middle finger.

Kako izgleda Avon Sequin brez podlage si lahko pogledaš na mojem sredincu.

Glittery Snowflake Wrapping paper

Bleščičasti papir za zavijane s snežinkami



Instrucitons:

1. Use Avon Glitterati for a base.
With a thin brush or a toothpick draw a thin line.

2. Add 3 more lines to form a star.

4. On every second line in star add 4 more smaller lines. Add dots on the other 4 lines you haven't used.

4. Play on the rest of the nails. Draw stars, dots.... and apply top coat.

Navodila:

1. Za podlago uporabi Avon Glitterati. S tankim čopičem ali zobotrebcem najprej nariši tanko belo črto.

2. Dodaj še 3 tanke bele črte, da dobiš zvezasto obliko.

3. Na vsaki drugi krak zvezde nariši še dodatne 4 črtice, na prazne krake pa naredi pikice.

4. Pozabavaj se z ostalii nohti. Riši črtice, pikice, zvezdice, da dobiš morje snežink. Nanesi še nadlak.

New Year's eve fireworks

Novoletna manikura z ognjemetom



For this manicure you will need scissors and scotch tape.

Za to manikuro boš potrebovala lepilni trak in škarje (lahko z vzorčki).




Instrucitons:

1. Paint Black base on index and middle finger and Avon Dazzle on your pinkie and ring finger.

2. Cut out 2 pieced of scotch tape and place it on your skin (it will lose some stickiness and make no damage to your manicure). Place the tape on your nails, and polish Dazzle over, quickly remove tape.

3. Cut 4 thin and straight pieces of tape (also stick it to the skin) and make a star shape on your ring finger. Polish over black polish and quickly remove tape.

4. Apply top coat and you're done!

Navodila:

1. Kazalec in sredinec nalakiraj s črnim lakom, Avon Dazzle nanesi na mezinec in prstanec. 

2. S škarjami izreži 2 kosa lepilnega traka in ga nalepi na kožo. S tem boš zmanjšala lepljivost lepilnega traka in zmanjšala možnost, da si pri tem poškoduješ manikuro. Kosa nato nalepi na kazalec in sredinec ter ju prelakiraj z Avon Dazzle. Lepilni trak odstrani, ko je lak še moker.

3. S šakrjami izreži 4 zelo ozke kose lepilnega traka (zopet jih najprej nalepi na kožo). Trake nalepi v zvezdasto obliko na prstancu. Čez prelakiraj črni lak in lepilni trak odstrani.

4. Nanesi nadlak za sijaj in obstojnost.




 You can see Avon Dazzle on it's on on my pinkie finger.

Kako izgleda Avon Dazzle brez druge podlage lako vidiš na mojem mezincu.


V tem katalogu lahko Avon Sequin lake ob nakupu kateregakoli izdelka iz kataloga dobiš za samo 2,5€.

Born Pretty Store BPL-023 image plate

Hi!

Today I have another review for you! 


We all know Born Pretty Store. 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. 
Pay them a visit, you won't regret it, nether will your wallet since their assortment is relatively cheap and they also offered a special coupon code (see below)!

Here is the image plate:

You can find it here! It cost's 5,99$, but it is currently out of stock (why not, this plate is absolutely stunning and the only plate you'll need this winter)

Size:
Snowflake design: 
width:3 cm

lenght:5,4 cm


Full nail designs:
width 1,9 cm

lenght:2,2 cm

Smaller designs
aproximitely 1 cm x 1 cm



Quality:

I used it many times, but I still didn't tried all of the designs. Designs are very well engraved, because the designs transfer crisp to the nails. It is quite heavy, this gives it a high quality feel. The backing is secured with hard plastics, so no sharp edges! It comes with a pretty cardboard pocket, where it can be stored between usages. The only downside for me is that all the plates have the same pocket so if you have a lot of this plates it is harder to find the one you want, but this can easily be solved by marking the pockets =). 

Pros:
a lot of designs
well engraved- crisp image transfer
low price considering the amount of designs
no sharp edges
quality production

Cons:
This is not a real fault, but I don't like that all the pockets for storing the plates are the same (can be solved with marking the pockets)

Overall, I'm really impressed with this one. I really wasn't expecting this quality.

Here are some of examples on how to use this plate:






Now who could resist this image plate? I really have to get some more of these plates, because they have a lot of different designs! (I already ordered 2, and they are just waiting for me to use them)

They were kind to offer a 10% OFF coupon code. Use COLLX31 at the checkout!
