Nude nails with feathers

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my nude nails with coloured feather details. I started with two coats of Maybelline Colorama 303, which is my new favourite nude nail polish and then applied some water decals from Born Pretty store. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. Really fast and easy to do and also eye catchy. What do you think?

Red nails

Tweet

Hi,

Do you remember houndstooth? It feels like it's been such a long time since this pattern was a trend! So I went back in my blog archive and looked for the last houndstooth nail art I've created. It was in 2012 and you can see it here. 

For this manicure I used Makeup Gallery - Pillar Box Red on all nails except from the accent nail, where I applied two coats of Madam Glam - Snow White. I stamped the houndstooth design from Komad's m63 image plate using black stamping polish from Born Pretty. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for a perfectly sealed design and some extra shine.What do you think?

Geometrical nails

Tweet

 Hi,

Today I'll show you a very easy to do nail art. After applying base coat, I painted my nails two coats of Rimmel - Out of the blue. Then I stamped the designs from Born Pretty's BP-77 stamping plate. I also have the clear jelly stamper and white stamping nail polish from Born Pretty store and they work the best for me. I always use them and they really do the job much easier. I finished with Seche Vite clear top coat and that was about all.  What do you think?

Animal print manicure

Tweet

 Hi,

Today I'll show you a new soak off gel manicure. For this one, I started with Cupio To Go Gel Base Coat. Then, I painted diagonally the brown colour coat from Born Pretty Cafe Series - BP-C11 Cafe au lait. On the accent nail, I replaced the colour coat with a glitter brown from Cupio, called Serenity. Then I stamped the animal print design from Konad's m57 stamping plate diagonally, using black stamping nail polish from Born Pretty. I finished with Cupio To Go Gel Top Coat. In between all the gel coats, I cured them for 30 seconds at the led lamp. This is the final result. What do you think?

Marble nails

Tweet

 Hi,

Today I'll show you a manicure that I'm very happy I've finally been able to realise. And that's because I've been looking for a stamping plate to help me create the perfect marble effect on my nails for so long and I finally found the one. It's the L079 stamping plate which I got from Born Pretty store along with some other products that I'll show you today. 

For this manicure, I started with two coats of Rimmel - White with love and then I stamped the marble design twice: once using turquoise stamping nail polish from Born Pretty and the second time using a rose gold metallic polish which was actually not special stamping polish, but has a very strong colour.  

Don’t forget that if you want to order something from Born Pretty you can use my code for a 10% discount: MKAK31.

The last thing I'd like to show you is my new Nicole Diary transparent nail stamper. This is my first see-through stamper and I'm in love with it! It helps a lot when placing the design on the nail and I can't believe I didn't get it sooner.

Pine tree nails

Tweet

 Hi,

Today I'll show you my first ever soak off manicure that I'm really proud of. I used Cupio soak off nail polishes, from the base coat to the top coat. The coloured layer I used is called Pine. On two nails, I stamped the design from L011 stamping plate, using Kaleidoscope White special stamping polish. I stamped the design over the sticky coloured layer and then applied the shiny top coat and cured it in the lamp. What do you think?

Olive green soak off nails

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my new soak off manicure in olive green. I like this colour so much and I think that's so unique and outstanding! This is why I love getting soak off colours from Born Pretty store, because they have plenty of shades you can't find anywhere else and as you know me, I don't want my manicure to look basic.

I started with gel base coat from Cupio and cured it for 30 seconds in the led lamp. Then I applied two coats of Born Pretty's Dark Green River and cured it for 60 seconds after each coat in the led lamp. Then I stamped the twisting lines from a Born Pretty stamping plate using black stamping nail polish. Finally, I applied gel top coat from Cupio and cured it for 30 seconds. 

What do you think?

Ugly sweater inspired nails

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my new Christmas soak off manicure inspired by the popular ugly sweaters. I simply love those, so I decided to put them on my nails, too! 

I created this soak off manicure using Polish to Gel Transformer from Sensationails and I mixed it with Essence - 180 It's raining men. This is an amazing invention that helps you transform any regular nail polish into gel polish. The recipe is simple: you have to mix the equal number of drops of both the regular polish and the transformer in the small mixing pot that comes from Sensationails. I cured it for 60 seconds at the led lamp just to be sure. It was the first time using it and I was amased. It works perfectly! 

Of course, I applied gel base coat before and gel top coat from Cupio after for a full soak off manicure. I stamped the designs from Born Pretty's Christmas stamping plate L007 using Kaleidoscope white stamping polish.

Stamping soak off manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you another soak off manicure that I created using Born Pretty products. I started with Gel Base Coat from Cupio which I cured for 30 second at the led lamp. Then, as a colour coat, I applied Born Pretty's Purple fantasy. I cured each coat for 60 seconds at the led lamp as the soak off polishes from Born Pretty usually need more time cu cure perfectly. Then I stamped some designs from BP-77 stamping plate using white stamping nail polish and Summer mints from their Warm tea series. I finished with Gel Top Coat from Cupio. What do you think?

Stiletto red nails

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a something you can never go wrong with, a classic and elegant red manicure. This is a soak off nail art and I starded with a gel base coat from Cupio. I used Born Pretty's Dream of Falling Flowers from their Red Series as a color coat. I cured the color coats for 60 seconds and the led lamp, as recommended on the bottle. On the accent nail I created a black stripe so that made me decide to call this manicure "stiletto nail art". I finished with Cupio's gel top coat. What do you think?

OPI The Nutcracker and the Four Realms - Snowflakes manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a manicure that I created using two nail polishes from the OPI's new collection The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: March in uniform and Tinker, Thinker, Winker. I started with two coats of the dark blue and one coat of the holographic top coat. As you can see, a single coat added a lot of holo particles on my nails, it's really intense. Then I stamped the snowflakes from Born Pretty's Christmas L002 stamping plate using special stamping nail polish in the shade Pure. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for some extra shine. What do you think?

Hi,

Today I'll show you a sparkly manicure I easily created using Born Pretty nail art products. I started with two coats of basic black nail lacquer on all nails except from the accent nails.
