Image
Hey guys! I apologize for not posting as much lately but I started working again so I haven't had as much time to post, or to even do my nails for that matter, smh. The design I am sharing today is a very easy design I did using Born Pretty's Store 's nail stamping plate QA73 & 3mm crackle nail art studs. I love nail art studs & when I saw these new studs from BPS I just had to try them! The studs come in a small wheel, in a variety of colors in square & round shapes. The studs are dual colored with a crackle effect, very cool. They are easy to apply & give a beautiful edgy look to your mani! I included a video tutorial below to show you how I achieved this fun look! I hope you like! I apologize for the pics, I normally take pictures the day after I do my design but had been so busy I almost forget to take pics. So one of the pics is actually just a screenshot from my video tutorial so it isn't the best quality & the other pic was taken with my came...

Winstonia XL Squishy Firm Stamper Review

Image
Hey guys! So today I have a quick review for you of Winstonia's XL Stamper. This is a dual ended stamper, with one large semi soft stamping head and a small hard rubber stamping head & large scraper. This stamper looks just like a stamper I had purchased from ebay known as an XL Squishy Stamper, but is actually different. The stamper I got from ebay is extremely soft (known as the "marshmallow" stamper in the stamping universe) and has a very sticky texture. Winstonia's stamper is not sticky & nor is it super soft, though it is not hard either (like Konad stampers), it is in between: "squishy firm". This was my first time using a squishy firm stamper and I liked it. When I first received the stamper I primed it by lightly filing the surface with a nail file to help images adhere to it better. I do this with all stampers I get. It picked up the images effortlessly and stamped on to my nails with no problems. I have long curved nails so I prefer large...

Manicure Makeover! Red Hot Cherry Blossom Mani Revision

Image
Hey guys! The design I am sharing with you today is actually the makeover version of a manicure I posted a few weeks ago. The  Red Hot Studded Cherry Blossom Manicure . After I did that manicure I decided to tweek it after a few days for a new look. Have you ever done that? I usually don't, but had the urge so I went for it. I used acrylic paint cause I feel that it's easier to paint over existing designs because it's so opaque & if you make a mistake you can wipe it off quickly with water or rubbing alchohol. That way if I didn't like how it came out I could just remove it. I painted black over the red on my accent nails, spiced up the thumb nail by adding some black to it and added a couple black dots to the middle finger nails. I then painted a matte top coat over just the black areas to create a different textured look & I also painted a matte top coat over the nails with the cherry blossoms on it. Not sure which mani I like better, although I do like the t...

BPS Star Studded Nail Art Design and Video Tutorial

Image
Hey guys! Today I have a nail art tutorial and also a quick review for you of Born Pretty Store 's square & star nail art stud wheel! I love nail art studs & I really like this wheel a lot because it consists of a variety of fun neon colors in square & star shapes. The studs are easy to apply & add a nice pop of fun color! They last long so long as you adhere them properly & it helps to add an extra coat of topcoat every couple days. The colors included are purple, pink, blue, green, yellow & orange. These studs really inspired me to do a fun colorful look, so I took some polishes that matched the stud colors & created a gradient effect with them on my thumb, middle, & ring nails. I then stamped them with a spiral pattern from Born Pretty Store's QA65 image plate & applied a row of stars to my index & pinky nails! I really like how these came out, the colors really pop! I included a video tutorial below so you can learn how to achieve th...

SPRING NAIL HAUL - Polish, Plates & More!

Image
Hey guys! Hope all is well! I realized it's been awhile since I have done a haul so I compiled some of my latest nail products to share with you today! First up are some new stamping plates I got from Born Pretty Store along with some water decals. I actually was one of the winners of the BPS Valentine's Day Nail Art Contest & won a $15 BPS voucher & this is what I purchased with it! I really like the BPS octagon plates, they stamp great & their full nail image patterns are a good size! :-) QA76, QA27, QA65, QA71, KD3 I recently decided to invest in some new nail stampers as I only had the Konad doubled ended stamper & an XL Squishy Marshmallow Stamper. I wanted to try some new ones so I got these. The black one is from Winstonia & the gray one I purchased on ebay. Both are squishy firm. I also purchased some french tip guides from ebay because I love doing french tip designs & so I like to have these on hand. Instead of purchasing the traditio...

Red Hot BPS Studded Leadlight Cherry Blossom Nail Art Stamping Design and Video Tutorial

Image
Hey guys! Today I have a new design & video tutorial to share with you aswell as a quick review. I have been wanting to do a design with the color red for awhile now cause it's a color I don't use often & when I got these nail art studs from Born Pretty Store I figured it was the perfect time to do a red hot mani, lol. I used the leadlight technique for the flowers on my index & pinky nails and used 3mm square studs from Born Pretty Store for the middle & accent nails to spice things up! I really like these nail art studs, they are easy to use & add such a nice effect! The silver studs used on my accent nails came in a small rhinestone wheel that included a variety of both silver & gold studs in round and square shapes, size 3mm. I also own the 2mm wheel aswell and I like both, it's great to have different sizes! The black square studs came in a small plastic bag. I included the direct links to them below aswell as the BPS stamping plate I used fo...

Angled Ombre Floral French Tip Pretty Spring Summer Nail Art Design and Video Tutorial

Image
Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share with you this design I did. It's actually for a nail art contest  I entered & the theme is Spring using pastel colors (white, silver & gold polishes are also allowed). I am excited because it's been a long time since I entered a nail art contest! I gave up on them for awhile because most of them choose their winners based on who has the most votes which basically turns into a popularity contest more than focusing on the actual nail design. I can't keep up with those, lol, but I like this contest because the host will be choosing the winner so don't have to worry about any shenanigans, lol! I also love the theme of this contest, because I love Spring designs & pretty pastels! This is the design I came up with because when I think of Spring I think of pretty flowers!!! I decided to do an angled french tip with an ombre gradient & rhinestone studded full accent nails! I am really happy with the way these came out &...
