40GNAI- Wedding

Hello, hello!

Today's finally FRIDAY-YAY!

The prompt for today was wedding. We are used to see discreet/French mani for the big day. I haven't see much of extravagant nails for wedding. Why is that?

I decided I wanted some BLING for my wedding nails. I had crystals from Born Pretty Store I still hadn't used and thought it was finally time to try them.

Overall I reaaally enjoy this mani. So girly. So bling-y!

 

I used "Cosmo" from Zoya for my accent fingers (pinky and thumb). That one is a stunner in the sun. Who wants some sparkle?!

 

For the others fingers I used Beautifully Bizarre from Orly. Gaaaah. I am in love. It's such a special polish. I think the name is perfect. Beautifully. Bizarre.

 

That pink base and the blue shimmer! Did I say I love it? No, wait. I adore it.

 

 

 

"Macro" on the crystals.

 

I am wearing this mani for two days and they still hold on onto my nails. I think I'll be using these crystals in the near future. I like them!

 

It looks delicate doesn't it? (In a bling-y sparkle way)

 

So tell me what do you think? Too much? Just enough? Would you be wearing these nails at a wedding?

 

Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Pink+Lilac + Water Marbling

 

Hello, hello!

Today's prompt was Pink+Lilac and my personal prompt was Water Marbling/Spotting!

 

Disclaimer: For some reasons, the colors in the picture are NOT color-accurate.  I really use a pink and a lilac, but it show more coral-y and purple/blue.

 

 

Anyway. I did some abstract watermarbling with the new Zoyas (Aster & Laurel*I think*) from the Petals collection ! 

 

Oh yeah. I scratched my WM when I tried to remove my latex. Oops. And I was having one of those days when everything goes wrong so I just rolled with it.

 

 

I love the finish of Aster, kind of metallic, kind of shimmery. Me likey!

You can see more clearly my "accident" on the picture. I was trying to hide it/show my thumb cleverly, but it was an awkward handpose so I went with something a little bit less awkward. :P

Also, my nails were so long when I did this prompt! Since then, I filed them down a bit and I am currently trying some gel soak off polish from Madam Glam, so expect a review soon :)

Hope you liked it!

Happy polishing!

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!
