40GNAI - Coral + White + Aztec and Review for Born Pretty Store

Hello, hello!

This week's prompt was Coral + White with my personal one Aztec.

I decided to do a gradient and then stamped some Aztec design on top. There was no way I was going to freehand them this week. I don't know why but I find it difficult to paint Aztec/Tribal designs on my nails. It always ends up looking like a catastrophe.

 

Like I said I did a gradient with Live.Love.Carnaval. by OPI and Fiji by Essie.

 

My coral looks orange. I know. Can't figure out why. Do you have any recommendations?

After it dried a little bit I added the stamping. I use a regular white stamping polish from Born Pretty Store and use my clear jelly stamper to stamp the design on my nails.

The clear jelly stamper was from Born Pretty Store, too, and I was very pleased to see that it didn't need to be "prepped". It picked the image right up and stamped perfectly. It is a little bit more squishy than my other clear jelly stamper that I got from LadyQueen.com. As a matter of fact I think I like it better. Squishier and stickier :) I guess it depends on the person :)

If you want to buy from Born Pretty Store, you can always use my coupon code : DEAEX31!

40GNAI - Summer

Hello!

It's Friday today and finally we have some warm weather! Yeah!

The prompt for today was 'Summer'. Summer can be almost anything and for me it equals with warm and beautiful sunsets. It has been a long moment since I freehanded something and I miss it so today was a 100% freehanded design.

I only have one picture to show you because it is a mani that you have to see in a whole.

 

Imagine you're in Hawaii or somewhere else where these sunsets are a regular thing. Aaaaah.

 

I really missed doing this. It was super fun and even if it doesn't look exactly like I wanted, I think it's still good.

 

Hope you liked it!

 

Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Mint + Accent Nail

Hello !

As I am writing this post, I didn't have coffee..so sorry if I am confusing in my post or I make more mistakes than usual.

This last week has been gloomy and cold. It's almost like we skipped directly to fall. Ugh. I need heat and sun, please.

EDIT: Still so damn cold. Who stole summer?

The prompts were mint for everyone and accent nail as my personal prompt.

I didn't have a clue of what to do until the last minute and honestly, I am still "eh" about it,

 

I used Enigma from Gilty Girl Cosmetics (I don't know if they are still up and running) for the "plain" nails.

 

I wore this polish over a year ago and I didn't remember how the formula was. I was just praying it wouldn't be too much of a pain.

 

I was really surprised to see that it was almost a one coater. The formula was a little bit on the thicker side but very manageable. It looks almost like an off-white with a subtle hint of green/mint in it. I looove it.

 

 

For the accent nails I did a "smoosh" with Enigma, Beyond Cozy (Essie) and a white polish.

 

It looked pretty and very subtle. I hope you like it ! :)

 

Happy polishing!
