February's Nails Challenge- Gradient

Good morning darlings!

Saturday again - time flies . This is the last manicure for this month in the monthly challenge.

I don't like doing gradient/ombre nails ...i find it pretty hard but I love seeing these designs , there are some amazing girls who do them perfectly.

I tried doing my best - hope you like it.

TipTop- Melting Marshmallow 

Aceste water decals le-am primit de la Oana acum mult timp dar le-am folosit abia acum. Dupa parerea mea se potrivesc perfect...asa ca, le-am pastrat bine la naftalina. 

Flormar full color - Squashed Raspberry - castigata la giveaway-ul organizat de Teo . Superba culoare - aplicare perfecta dintr-un singur strat!

BornPrettyStore waterdecals review

Morning ladies!

If yesterday I had a long post for you, reviewing 3 products, today I have a shorter one : some water decals I got from BornPrettyStore.

This particular sheet comes in 4 designs (2 multi colour and 2 monocolour) - find it HERE!!

I used to hate water decals...I simply couldn't use them , but trying and trying showed me that practice does make perfect!

The manicure I did today took me around 10-15 mins to finish, including the drying time of the base nail polish.

Water decals are a quick alternative to a fancy manicure or a "good friend' for accent nails - i usually use them for accent nails. I said usually, because today I did a full manicure with them.

Yes, my blog post is in english, but I have to tell you that my fav thing to eat for Christmas is piftie , why am I telling you that? I have no idea. hihi

The technique of using water decals is simple :
1.paint your nails (usually with a white nail polish- like this the design will really pop up) and let them dry completely
2. take the water decal sheet and cut the desired pattern/size
3.remove the plastic protection sheet
4. submerge in water for...10-20 seconds (the design should come off very easily now)
5. stick it on the nail and made it even,(i use a make up/ombre nail sponge to do this step), cut the excess water decal (if present) and file the tip a bit to remove any ugly corners or such things
6. add topcoat and enjoy a gorgeous manicure

It sounds complicated and time consuming but once you get used to doing this type of manicure you'll never want to stop ESPECIALLY because there are literally thousands of designs, different colours and shapes.

*do not mistake water decals for nail stickers- they are 2 different things, and the latter is more complicated to use, especially the full nail sticker and it doesn't last as long as a water decal*

Nail Art Marathon - Flowers

Hello fete dragi.


Astazi, pentru colaborare, avem o tema care lasa frau liber imaginatiei - FLOWERS, propusa de Madalina .

Spun ca lasa frau liber pentru ca exista un milion de posibilitati in ceea ce priveste floricelele.  Eu am ales ceva simplu : water decals.
Initial am incercat sa fac ceva cu niste flori uscate dar nu mi-a placut ce a iesit, asa ca, am schimbat repede foaia :))

Aveam aceste decals de ceva timp...dar mereu m-am temut de ele. (de full nail decals in general) Pentru tema de astazi mi-am luat totusi inima in dinti si le-am incercat.

Decals-urile sunt de la BornPrettyStore si le gasiti AICI la doar 1,49$. Eu si pe acestea le am tot de la Oana. (multumesc mult :* )

China Glaze- Re-fresh mint. 

NTC - Water marble

Hello !

Daca ieri v-am aratat o manichiura pentru o colaborare "ocazionala", astazi va arat antepenultima manichiura din colaborarea "nail team challenge" : water marble. Tema este propusa de Madalina.

Cred ca pana acum stiti ca imi place la nebunie aceasta tehnica...dar NU pot sa fac manichiuri cu ea. Ma intristeaza mult acest lucru ...dar cum pe piata exista tot felul de produse...exista ceva si pentru asta...

Si cine sa ma salveze daca nu Oana? Draga de ea, a comandat special pentru mine decal-uri water marble. (multumesc mult :* )

Pozele sunt facute in lumina artificiala.

Golden Rose WOW! 85

Textura, mov, decals..

Buna seara.

Ce faceti dragelor?

Astazi vreau sa va arat o manichiura simpla, pe care am realizat-o cu 2 oje pe care le ador.
Eu nu sunt o iubitoare de mov...dar cu toate astea, cele doua oje sunt minunate si mi se pare ca merg PERFECT impreuna.

Pe degetul mijlociu am aplicat si 2 decal-uri. Exact cum spuneam si mai sus, voi repeta si aici...nu sunt fan decal-uri dar de astea m-am indragostit.

Mi s-au parut foarte usor de folosit,..si mi se pare ca ii ofera manichiurii "un ceva" special, aparte.

NTC- Water decals

Hello there!

As you already know .... today is the "nail team challenge" day - 11/18(looks like we are close to this challenge's end- I honestly have no idea when time flies so fast) 

Today's theme was proposed by Deyutza - WATER DECALS 

To be totally honest with you...doing this manicure I realized that I'd rather free handed paint with acrylics than using (full nail) water decals- I simply cannot get the hand of it and it makes me crazy. (this is the same feeling I have when it comes to Water Marble) but, as I've told you before, I wont stop trying. 

Today I will show you 2 manicures - I hope you'll like one of them. 

Both manicures are done with water decals I've recieved from my good friend Oana.
