Simple Easter manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a very easy to do Easter Manicure. I started with two coats of Dior #671 and then I took a brush and drew the bunny ears on my accent nail. I used white, pink and gray polish in this order. Don't worry - if you do something wrong you can easily fix it by applying some more white. On the rest of my nails, I applied Color Club -Covered in diamonds on the tips. I finished with clear top coat. What do you think?

ZorileStore review

Tweet

Buna,

Va mai amintiti postarea mea de aici? Va spuneam despre campania "Curatenia de primavara", initiata de Blogawards si ZorileStore. Initial imi alesesem o pereche de balerini negri din piele intoarsa ca sa le fac review, dar lucrurile s-au schimbat intre timp. Datorita faptului ca s-au inscris foarte multi bloggeri, stocurile s-au terminat rapid si nu mi-au ramas multe posibilitati de a alege. 

Am primit pentru review acesti slapi pe care inca ii mai puteti gasi pe site. Trebuie sa recunosc ca sunt foarte frumosi si sunt convinsa ca se vor asorta cu noul meu costum de baie. Sunt usori si nu am simtit niciun discomfort la prima purtare. Va las cu niste poze, sa va faceti o idee.

Promotia "Curatenia de primavara" este inca in desfasurare, asa ca nu uitati sa va alegeti cadoul gratuit la orice comanda pe ZorileStore.

Guest Post Thursday: Fall in ..naiLove!

Tweet

Hi,

The guest blogger today is Paulina from fall in ...naiLove. If you haven't seen her blog until now it's a pity! This is one of the blogs I really enjoy reading and I comment each new post. She does great manicures and takes so great pictures of them, that it was extremely difficult for me to chose the four pictures below. Let's see what she has prepared:

Honestly, I'm so stressed... hopefully, you'll like it. I really wanted to make something extraordinary and differnet. 

This design was inspired with a book called "A Mexican Affair". You know... the sunset, beach  and...love- what a hot, explosive combination it is! I wanted to display this summer atmosphere of the Mexican beach.

I started with a base, then put a coat of deep pink/fuchsia and let it dry. Then, I added a purple-navy blue gradient with the sponge to have a sunset effect. For the sun falling down the horizon I made yellow halfmoons using the tape method and once again painted a light orange shading with a piece of the sponge. In the end, I put some action on my nails - the birds and the palm trees are hand-painted with acrylic paint and a tiny nail brush. The glossy effect was achieved with a sealing top coat.

I wanted to show all I love in this design- I'm a fan of gradients, I love halfmoons and often use the tape technique and acrylic paints.

Half moon manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my inverse half moon manicure. It is actually really easy to do, using French manicure tape. I started with a coat of Astor -Fashion Studio #114 and then I applied the tape near my cuticles. After that, I painted my nails two coats of Illamasqua -Scorn and finished with a clear top coat. What do you think?

Puzzle nail art

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you one of the popular March Nail Lacquers from Born Pretty store. It's a collection of 12 colours and what I have is a light blue, #1 on their website. Believe it or not, this is a colour that I never had in my collection and really wanted it. I applied two coats of it so as to become opaque. As you can see, it has a beautiful shine and I'd say it's a pleasant shade. 

I used my BM-319 image plate and Catrice -It Blue My Mind to create the puzzle design. I saw this manicure among many bloggers on the Autism Awareness Day and liked it so much that I recreated it. I finished with a clear top coat. What do you think?

Bundle Monster image plates & Paisley nail art

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my new set of stamping plates. It's the 2012 Bundle Monster set of 25 plates which I wanted to try for so long and finally got the chance. I like this brand because they always come up with new ideas and produce great stamping designs. 

Firstly, I'll show you my paisley manicure I did with BM-315 plate. I started with two coats of  Zoya -Jolene on all my nails except the ring finger, on which I applied two coats of China Glaze -Re-fresh mint. I stamped the design using a random black polish and finished with a clear top coat. 

What do you think?

Now, into the plates. I tried to photograph each of them so that you can see the beautiful designs. They are easy to clean and the image transfers really well on the stamp. I can't wait to try more of them - I already have a lot of great manicures in mind and I'd like to share them with you.

Visit Bundle Monster's website and like their facebook page if you want to find out more about their products. You may also follow them on twitter, Google+ and Pinterest. They sell their image plates on Amazon and eBay for reasonable prices and ship worldwide.
