BornPrettyStore vinyls !

Hello ladies!

I've been missing from my blog for a long time...but I am back with a new post today.

A tiny review for you : Vinyls from BornPrettyStore.

I've seen these kind of vinyls a long time ago on a lot of blogs and I've always wanted to try them out. I finally got the chance to.

They have a big variety of designs to chose from, here, that's why I had a hard time choosing one.

In the end I got one with some interesting patterns.

Today I am going to show you a manicure I did using the one on the right - I don't even know how to describe the design, but one thing is for sure : I love the way it looks.



This was the first time I used these type of nail stickers, and I found them very easy to use.

After I had my black base completely dry, I took one sticker and put it over my nails in the desired position. (tip: before sticking it to your nail, stick it somewhere on your hand - this way, you make sure the vinyl won't pick up your nail polish, due to a very strong adhesive)                                                                                                              
After I got the sticker in the position I wanted, I got a sponge and the nail polish. ( I used a textured nail polish, because, from what I've seen and known, they work best with this kind of polish)

I used the sponge and dabbed the nail polish over the sticker- after I finished, I quickly removed the vinyl, before the nail polish was dry.

The nail polish I used for the design was Showgirl Chic from Sally Hansen's Gen Crush collection.

For some more "glam" I added some studs to my ring finger.

In my opinion these vinyls are a very easy way to taking a dull manicure to the next level.


You can find the vinyls I used HERE, at the special price of 2.30$. You can also use my BornPrettyStore 10% discount code.

Dotticure.

Hello hello !

Those of you who follow me on different social medias have already seen this manicure, but I want to talk about the tool I used for this manicure!

I recently got an interesting dotting tool from BronPrettyStore which I tried when doing this look.


There's this dotting tool with exchangeable heads - which in my opinion is a SUPER DEAL!
Why get more tools when you can have only one that does the job?

The tool has 5 heads with 5 different sizes.
Along with the dotting tools we have a pen head I wasn't able to try because you need a special ink-like solution which I don't have, but I've seen being used by a talented girl I know HERE .

Mani-swap

Hello.

Mani-swap...this is something I've done a couple of times ago...something I really like doing...and finally I did it again.

This time...I did a mani-swap with a girl I recently met on the facebook group I am part of.

You can check her instagram @alexandruvioleta - she doesn't have a blog.

I decided to do a manicure I absolutely fell in love with - it was love at first sight hehe - I would have done the manicure eventually because it is too good to pass.

I hope you like it.


She recreated my OPI design I posted a month ago and as you can see she did an amazing job - the lines are exactly the same!
Good job Violeta. Check her instagram account @alexandruvioleta.



Catrice - Orange-utan !!

February's Nails Challenge-Red

Hello.

Iata ca, am ajuns deja in cea de a doua luna din an ...si continuam colaborarea. Luna februarie se anunta cu inimioare, rozuri si alte nebunii , care pe mine, sincer, nu prea ma pasioneaza.
Nu prea am oje roz, nu imi plac dulcegariile astea "de cuplu'' care au loc doar o data pe an si nici nu ma incanta nebunia din magazine.

Cu toate astea, ca sa nu fiu un hater adevarat o sa particip la tema de saptamana viitoare (V'day nails) cu o manichiura rozalie :D

Lasand asta deoparte (nu pentru ca am terminat de zis ci pentru ca o sa zic si saptamana viitoare) sa trecem la tema de astazi : RED.

DA! Rosul, rosul este sexy, rosul este elegant, rosul..DA!

Pentru aceasta tema am facut o manichiura simpla, dar care mi-a placut enorm. Sper sa va placa si voua :*

Ce am mai purtat pe unghii in 2015 !

Hello. 

Se intampla foarte rar sa nu apuc sa va arat tot ceea ce am purtat pe unghii ...dar de aceasta data am cateva manichiuri mai simple pe care vreau sa vi le arat. 
 

 Nici nu mai stiu exact cand am purtat aceasta manichiura...acum multicel timp totusi !
Am adorat oja de la OPI cand am vazut-o ..dar pe unghiile mele nu mi-a placut de nicio culoare , in schimb, cu acest model am iubit-o.

 Manichiura cu nr2 este manichiura pe care am avut-o in perioada Craciunului.
Ceva simplu, rosu cu auriu, sclipicios si texturat.
Aceasta este a doua manichiura pe care am purtat-o in acea perioada.  Bradutul mi-a placut enorm cand l-am vazut pe IG +Nails By Miri asa ca a trebuit sa incerc si eu sa il fac.

Ultima dar nu cea din urma, este o manichiura pe care poate o stiti de pe facebook. 
Manichiura pe care am purtat-o de revelion. De mult nu mi-a mai placut o manichiura atat de mult ca aceasta ...abia astept sa o incerc si pe alte culori :D 


Va doresc o saptamana frumoasa.

Abstract black and white nails.

Hello hello! 
 

Did you have a good weekend? I took advantage of it to create a manicure using acrylic paints - I haven't done that in a while. 
At first I wanted to do a landscape manicure but I decided to do an abstract design. 

This is not a special manicure but I liked it a lot and I had a great time doing it. My inspiration was found on google : 


When I saw this picture I was sure this was something I wanted to do. 

What do you think? 

I wasn't sure how to do this design and then I remembered I had a new brush from BornPrettyStore and decided to try it out. 




The brush I used is very very thin and long so you can do very precise straight lines if you want to - i did a few curved ones. (as you can see in the pictures) 
It was very easy to make them very very thin - using the acrylic paint also helped a lot since it's a lot easier to paint with them rather than with nail polish. 

 
What I absolutely love about this paint brush is that the handle also acts like a cover, so if you want to take it with you it's easy and the bristle is not damaged. 

Even if my inspiration was all black and white I also decided to add some colour! 

What do you think? which one do you like it better?
I also decided to use my matte top coat from GoldenRose to make it matte. 

What do you use for painting? 
If you want this brush, you can get it HERE at a special price if you use my discount code.
