Born Pretty Store Review : Mermaid Scales Nail Vinyls

Hello, gorgeous people!

Today is review day! I received some times ago, three items from BPS and I haven't had time to make a proper review for a while. I initially was going to review two items at once, but then a tragedy happened (see here) and I decided to delay the review until my nail grow a little bit. Instead, I'll be talking about the third item.

MERMAID NAIL VINYLS. YESSS.

I LOVE mermaid nails. They always look so fabulous and with the nail vinyls, they are so easy to do!

 

I started with a black base and then sponged Respect (Glam Polish) and Tomoko (Zoya) over the nail vinyls. Voila! Aren't they gorgeous? So simple too.

 

 

Now. Let's talk about the BPS nail vinyls (id product: #23525), because that is kind of the point of this article. Right?

 

They come in a sheet with twelve vinyls, so you can use them for a whole mani and you would still have two (maybe for some accent nails later, who knows?) left. They are pretty big, so I guess you could use one nail vinyls two times if you placed it right. THEY ARE HOLOGRAPHIC. Not really "important", because they are going to the trash after you use them, but still pretty to the eyes when you use them. (Because who doesn't love holographic, riiiight?)

 

They were really easy to use, were sticky so you can get clean edges and they were thin so it doesn't looks too weird with the outline. I liked that it was also the right size for the "scales". Sometimes, makers make them really big and uh.. I don't like that much.

Overall the product was really great and I would totally recommend it!

What do you think? Do you like mermaid nails? Do you use nail vinyls? Tell me!

Happy polishing!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Black & White + Skittles

Hello, lovely people!

TGIF! Today is Friday and you know what it means! Yes, this is the day where a bunch of nail artist girls from around the world present you the 40GNAI!

The prompt was black and white with a pattern assigned to each participants. Mine was skittles!
I just want to clarify something, I am not a skittle person. I like my nails to be the same or if I do a landscape that they come together as a whole. Sooo, I don't know if my skittle is pretty or original because I don't do them usually.

 

So here it is. My black and white skittle!

 

 

 On my pinky is a coat of Clearly Spotted by Color Show Maybelline over a black base. For the middle and the ring finger I used some vinyls and create lines and geometric patterns. My index was handpainted to create a tile pattern (but it looks a little bit like drunk squares haha). Finally my thumb is just black, because I love black nails and I do what I want, nah.

 

(Sorry for the cat hairs.. They are always stuck on my nails and I never see them before I look at my pictures on my computer u_u")

 

So what do you think? Win or fail? :)

 

Happy polishing!

Watermarble with Parental Advisory Polish and Lightning Bolt Vinyls

Hello! Good morning!

 

I'm back with a watermarble I did a month ago. I used my Parental Advisory polishes for the watermarble. I had a mild fail so I decide to cover it with another P.A. polish and some lightning bolt vinyls.

 

In the end, I really like the design.

 

 

The lightning vinyls covered the parts I didn't like and left the best parts so people thought it was a pretty neat design. haha.

On my index finger, I had an encounter with my cat. She likes to bite my nail (in an affectively manner), so this happens frequently with my nails. Oops.

 

My only "deception" is that the black holo was not super holo.. Or maybe it was too much holo.. It looks a little bit grey, because of the holo particles.

 

I love that shot so much. We can see all the details of the watermable and the black polish. Gaaaaah!

I hope you liked it!

Happy polishing!

31DC version 2.0: Day 30: Nails Vinyls/Tape

Hello!

Today is day 30 of the 31DC version 2.0, so, you know what it means... It is almost over. One last prompt and I'll be done with this challenge!

I will have to find other challenges, because they make me go out of my comfort zone and even if sometimes I find it hard, I like it!!

I have already planned on joining the 52 Weeks Challenge (not sure if I'm going to do all the weeks, but some of them at least) in January. I think I'll join also the FingerFood's Buffet Theme when it comes back in January. I'd like to join other, like WNAC and The Nail Art Guild. I'm sure there is one more, but I can't remember the name.

Yes. I know. Busy year planned. I'll say it now. I won't do all the prompts in every challenge, but I think it will be interesting to be known in others challenges :)

ANYWAYS.

The nails.

I bought a few months ago some accessories from Shesellsseashells.uk and never used them. I had bought a sheet of mermaid scale and was waiting patiently to do a mani with it. WELL. I finally used them! Yay!
