Born Pretty Store Water Decals Review

HELLO PEOPLE!

Ugh! So let me just start off by saying I got a new laptop! Woohoo! Yeah that joy was short lived when I realized *ALL* of my photos and videos got deleted wtffffff T.T That, my friends, is why I haven't posted in a little bit. Not only did all of my pics get deleted but it took me a day and a half, yes a DAY AND A HALF, to redownload photoshop on my new laptop. Seriously I've had the worst time! But things are finally straighten out so I should be back to posting normally, thank goodness. Thank you guys for being so patient with me!

SO let's get on to it shall we. I've got a super fun review of some Born Pretty Store water decals for you today and I'm so in love with this look. These are the the 11Ps Nail Art water Decals and they are actually neon! I've used them over black here because I'm definitely the most intelligent person ever LOL But I'll be using them over a light color soon!!

These were so easy to use all I did was cut out the design I wanted, peeled off the protective covering and dip it in water for about 10 seconds. the decals slid right off the paper backing and I could position them super easy on my nails. I really don't have anything bad to say about. The Born Pretty Store carries so many different kind of water decals and they are so inexpensive. If you're just testing the waters with water decals I highly recommend these!

For the design I created below I started off with a base of Wet n Wild Black Creme. When it was dry I grabbed the water decals from BPS and applied them on half of each nail. I then added a small thin line of Essie Penny Talk on each nail and sealed them all in with a layer of Seche Vite.

I am SO obsessed with these! They're super cute and the honestly took me about a half hour to create. Simple! 

These water decals from The Born Pretty Store retail for $4.42 USD and can be purchased HERE. You can buy these along with countless other nail art tools at www.bornprettystore.com.

Reciprocal Star Gradient Nails

Hi guys! 

I'm super excited about these nails because ever since I started seeing these swirl star vinyls I knew I HAD to try them! Well good news and bad news, bad news first: they are a HUGE pain in the butt to apply!! LOL But the good news is that they are absolutely 100% worth it! 

I started off with a base of Wet n Wild Black Creme. Then I created the vertical gradient using Wet n Wild Black Creme and LynBDesigns Nightmare Revisited. When that dried I applied my star vinyls (which I purchased from Snail Vinyls) and created the same gradient but with reverse colors. I peeled off the vinyls and added a layer of Sech Vite to seal everything in. 

I'm so obsessed with reciprocal gradient designs lately. The final effect is just so amazing to me LOL! But really, these nails totally made me feel like a rockSTAR B)

What do you guys think?

Monotone Stamping

Hi guys!

It’s Tuesday! That means we’ve made if out of Monday alive! Let me tell you things were getting hairy there for a little ;) But it’s over and there are only good things to come! 

I know I’m supposed to have a Twinsie Tuesday post up today, I also know that I haven’t had one in a few weeks and I’m so sorry! My job is really busy right now so it’s hard to find time to paint my nails and somehow Tuesdays always sneak up on me. I was going to do some last night but we lost power when I got home from the gym so I couldn’t see what the prompt was! Booo!!

But enough complaining, I’ve got some really fun monotone stamped nails that I can’t wait for you to see!

I started off with a base of Color Club Beyond. When it was dry I stamped over each nail using Bundle Monster plate BM-320 and the Black stamping polish from The Born Pretty Store (review coming soon). I sealed everything in with some Seche Vite and that was it.

Monotone stamping is one of my favorite nail art techniques, it’s so incredibly simple but I absolutely adore the final product. Especially with it’s holo and creme together, it makes the contrast so much better.

What do you guys think? What’s you favorite nail art technique?

Thanks loves :) 

Wave Nails

Hi guys!

Since the weather has been getting warmer my excitement for summer is growing tremendously. Summer is absolutely my favorite season, warm, sunny, and it doesn't take 37584634689 layers of clothing to stay warm! With the summer come THE BEACH. *sigh* The beach. What a wonderful place <3 Too bad I never get to go because everyone around me hates it -_- So i thought I'd bring the beach to my nails instead with these awesome waves!

I started off with a base of Color Club Over The Moon. When it dried I applied the wave vinyls from Snail Vinyls along the edge of my nails. I painted over the vinyls using China Glaze DJ Blew My Mind and quickly peeled off the vinyls. I sealed everything in with a layer of Seche Vite to finish this design off.

These nails really are quite simple but they really pack a punch with the neon / holographic combination. I love ho quickly I was able to create this design with the wave vinyls from Snail Vinyls, they were so incredibly easy to use!

Saran Wrap Marbled Nails with Metallic Temp Tattoo Accents

Hi guys!

I've finally jumped on the metallic tattoo bandwagon woohoo!! For those of you who aren't aware, in the nail art world people have started using temporary tattoos for nail art and its just fantastic! Since I finally just got a few in I thought I'd give it a try with this fun and spring saran wrap mani. Let me know what you guys think!

I started out with a base of Essie and then sponged over top of each nail with saran wrap and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. When that dried I used these fun small silver triangle tattoos and applied them to my nails. I sealed everything in with some Seche Vite and that was it!

I really enjoy the way that the soft purple and white contrast with the harsh metallic silver I think it gives such an interesting effect! 

I'll definitely be using more metallic tattoos soon so watch out! 

Thanks loves :) 

Reciprocal Checkerboard Gradient Nails

Reciprocal gradients are so popular right now, I see them all over the place on instagram. And they should be, reciprocal gradients, gradients that oppose each other, are so cool and super intense. There's one lovely lady on Instagram +Simply Nailogical who is absolutely the cray cray-iest reciprocal gradienter I've even seen! She did this stunning checkerboard gradient nail design a little while ago and I just knew I was going to have to try it.

I've gotta say, it didn't take me nearly as loon to create this as I thought it would. But I would have worked on the mani for days, because it is AMAZING! Keep reading to see what I came up with!

I started off with a base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Then when that dried I created the first vertical gradient using Color Club Miss Bliss and China Glaze Glow With The Flow. When that dried I applied some straight vinyls to my nails alternating the position down each nail and created the same gradient except with the colors reversed. I peeled off the tape and sealed everything in with some Seche Vite to finish it off.

I can't even get over how fun these were or how many people called me nuts! But hey, life wouldn't be nearly as fun if you weren't at least a little cray ;)

What do you guys think? Would you try this design? If you did send me a link in the comments so I can see them!!

Thanks loves :) 

Mini Holo Blobbicure

Oops, I blobbicured again ;) 

I had so much fun creating my other blobbicure that I just had to try it out again in mini and holo form. I DIE. I think I love this even more then my original blobbicure, keep reading and you'll see why.

I started out with a base of Color Club Beyond. Then I used Color Club Eternal Beauty and Over the Moon and a dotting tool to create the blobbicure. I sealed it all in with some Seche Vite and that was it! 

I absolutely love how Eternal Beauty and Over the Moon pop agains Beyond. I really wish I had the chance to take a sunlight photo because DAMN it was amazing! Maybe I'll just have to recreate this look when it's sunny and I have time to take photos ;) seriously it's THAT amazing!

What do you guys think? What color combination would you guys like to see for my next blobbicure??

Thanks loves :)
