Born Pretty Store Mixed Nail Art Wheel

Press Sample

Hi everyone! 

Today I used one of my all time favorite yellow polishes, along with a really cool 3D flower from Born Pretty Store!

For a completely opaque look, I started off with three thin coats of China Glaze Metro Pollin-Tin! It dries to a matte finish, which I love! 

The 3D flower came from a mixed nail art wheel that I ordered from Born Pretty Store. The wheel contains 360 pieces and they range from studs and bows to flowers and fruit. It costs $3.86 USD.

Hi, everyone!

I have been loving water decals lately! They are perfect for fast nail art looks. Today's look features some of my favorite types of decals: flowers!

I started off with two coats of my favorite teal, which is a unnamed Color Club. I applied the decals and added top coat to complete the look!

The water decals are the G103 Rose Water Decals from Born Pretty Store. For $2.86 USD you get one sheet of twenty decals. They are good quality and very easy to use! You will get the perfect placement every time!

Twinsie Thursday: Blue & Coral One Stroke Flowers

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

How awesome is Lothwen's design!? 

Hello lovelies!
It's me again, for this month's Twinsie Thursday! Samantha proposed trying a new technique for this TT, one stroke flowers. Well man that was a challenge! They make it look so easy.. it really isn't though! One needs a good brush and good paint. I ordered the former but sadly not the latter, so I quit trying to paint it on with acrylic paint (it wouldn't bloody stick to my nails!) and decided to use nail polish instead. The colours we decided on were coral and blue. I so happened to have a new blue from LynBDesigns in my possession, Absolutely Absolem, so I had to use it. This is the result:

The coral is an oldie from Essence, "What do u think?" and the nude is from Etos. This was as good as my one-strokes have ever been, so it had to do. So what do u think?

Now go check out Samantha's design on my blog, it is a super cute design and totally different! It surprised me that despite using the same colour scheme and technique, we both ended up with such different manis! It's really funny :D

Until next month!

Black & White Daisy Skittle

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

It's been a while since I've blogged, but I'm still alive and I'M BACK! :D

Today I have a super cute skittle mani that was inspired by the one and only Robin Moses!

Here is her video! I didn't follow it exactly, but you'll get the idea.

I used Orly Catch the Bouquet as my pink base, along with Wet n Wild French White Creme and Black Creme.

This look was super easy to create! The best part is that you can change the colors and have a different mani each time!

I'll be back on Tuesday (or Wednesday) with some more nail art!

Summer Floral & Gradient

Today I have a cute summer floral and gradient design for you! It's super cute and very easy to do if you have the right tools! You'll find more information after the jump! :]

 Winstonia Stamping Plate W110
I only used the middle flower image for this design. It really was a hit or miss stamp. It worked well on my middle and pinkie fingers and on the rest of the fingers there are errors. The image may have gotten smudged, it didn't lay down right, or parts of the image was missing.
*The problems stated above could have been user error.









 I started off with one coat of Wet n Wild French White Creme. I then, using a triangle makeup sponge, sponged on a gradient. I went over it twice for a nice, bright coverage. I stamped over the gradient with Sinful Colors Black on Black. I then topped it off with top coat.

Essie Smooth Sailing 
 Smooth Sailing is the first color of my gradient. Essie usually has the issue of seeing the shimmer in the bottle, but not on the nail. I am proud to say that I did not have any issue with that. The same shimmer that was in the bottle, is the same shimmer on my nail, even though I sponged it on.
Smooth Sailing is a very pretty blueish-purple polish with a shimmer finish.

Essie Super Bossa Nova
Super Bossa Nova is the next color of my gradient. Like Smooth Sailing, the shimmer transferred very well. I would definitely use this for another mani!
Super Bossa Nova is a hot pink polish with a shimmer finish.

Essie Braziliant
Braziliant is the last color of the gradient. The shimmer also transferred very well.
Braziliant is an orange polish with a shimmer finish.











Overall, I really like the look of this mani. It is very summery and shimmery!

Don't forget I'm having a giveaway once I reach 500 Followers & Facebook Likes!
I'll see you all on Tuesday with another installment of Guest Post June!
