Melkior New Collection Storytelling

Hi,
Today I'll show you my new simple, purple and eye-catchy manicure that stands out not only because of the accent nail, but also because of the beautiful nail polish colour. I used Melkior - Purpur, a shade from their new collection Storytelling. All their new colours are great but I think this one is my favourite. I was really surprised by this nail polish in a good way. I didn't expect much from it when seeing it the first time in the bottle as it has shimmer in it and usually this kind of nail polishes need 4-5 coats to become opaque and look decent on the nails. It wasn't like that at all, as the nail polish was perfectly opaque after the first coat. It's the first time when I wear Melkior nail polishes but I already like them for three reasons: the colours are opaque, they dry fast and the brush is large enough to cover almost the whole nail, so that the application is very easy. 
On the accent nail I applied a coat of Madam Glam - Snow white, another nail polish that is perfectly opaque after a single coat. Then I applied some water decals from Born Pretty. So that's it, in just a few minutes I created an amazing manicure. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for extra shine and resistance. What do you think?

Buna,
Astazi o sa va arat o noua manichiura simpla, mov ce iese in evidenta atat prin unghia accent, cat si prin culoarea superba a ojei. Pentru aceasta manichiura am folosit nuanta Purpur de la Melkior. Face parte din noua colectie "Storytelling" care a fost lansata de curand. Toate culorile noi sunt superbe, dar cred ca aceasta este preferata mea. Trebuie sa recunosc ca m-a surprins in mod placut. Cand am vazut prima data culoarea in sticluta nu ma asteptam la cine stie ce. Asta pentru ca are in ea putin shimmer si parea genul acela de oja pe care trebuie sa o aplici in 4-5 straturi pentru a fi opaca si pentru a arata decent pe unghii. Nu a fost deloc asa si mare a fost surpriza sa vad ca era perfect opaca dupa un singur strat. Este prima data cand incerc produsele de unghii de la Melkior, dar pana acum imi plac foarte mult din trei motive: culorile sunt opace, se usuca foarte repede si pensula este destul de lata incat sa acopere aproape in intregime unghia, astfel ca aplicarea este floare la ureche. 
Desigur, inainte sa aplic oja am folosit noua baza pentru unghii 9 in 1 tot de la Melkior, despre care v-am povestit aici si v-am prezentat toate cele 9 beneficii. 
Pe unghia accent am aplicat un strat de oja alba Madam Glam - Snow white, o alta oja care este perfect opaca dupa un singur strat. Apoi am aplicat niste water decals de la Born Pretty. Totul a mers foarte repede, astfel ca in cateva minute am realizat o manichiura de efect. Am terminat cu un strat de Seche Vite top coat pentru a oferi rezistenta si stralucire. Ce parere aveti?

Toate ojele din noua colectie se gasesc in cele 2 variante de sticlute, de 15ml si de 4,5ml. Descopera acum nuanta care iti pune in evidenta manichiura, aici! Sunt oje rezistente care asigura o acoperire foarte buna si uscare rapida. 

Doar astazi puteti profita de oferta 1+1 cadou la oje si transport gratuit la comenzile de peste 49 lei.

Stamping nail art created with stamping guide

Hi,
Today I'll show you another stamping manicure that is easy to create. I started with two coats of Rimmel - Out of the blue on all nails. Then, using Born Pretty's BPL-024 stamping plate and  the Stamping guide 003 I created the half moon stamped design. I finished with Seche Vite top coat on all nails. What do you think?

How to use the stamping guide
1. Choose any stamping plate that you like that has a full nail design. 
2. Paint it with stamping polish and scrap the excess.
3. Place the stamping guide with the desired template over the stamping plate. I chose the circled one.
4. Take your silicone stamper and stamp the design. 
5. Stamp it on the nail.

Traveling nail art

Hi,
As you might already know from my travel blog, I've recently been in a city break in Belgium that you can read more about here and decided to create a travel themed manicure. For this one, I started with two coats of Rimmel - Too cool to tango and Madam Glam - Snow white as base colours for the stamping. Then, using black and white stamping polish from Born Pretty store, I stamped the clouds on my index finger from Konad m79 stamping plate and the plane, map, luggage and windmill from Born Pretty BP-124 stamping plate. I finished with Seche Vite clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Hi,
I've recently returned from my trip to Paris that you can read more about here on my travel blog and wanted to share with you this Paris inspired manicure. I started with two coats of white nail polish and then applied some nail strips and painted Rimmel - Peachella over them. Using a sponge, I applied some glittery particles on the base of my nails. I stamped the Eiffel tower from Bundle Monster's BM-418 image plate and the heart and butterflies from Konad's m78 image plate. The perfume bottle on my pinkie is a water decal from Born Pretty store. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Flakies nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you a simple and really fast to do flakies manicure. I started with two coats of Sephora - Black lace on all nails and then applied some latex peel off tape around my nails to prevent the mess from the next step. This is a great product and really helps a lot with the clean up proccess. Then, using a sponge, I applied the flakies nail polish I have from Sweet Color which I can no longer link you to, but I found some similar polishes here. I finished with Seche Vite top coat on all nails. What do you think? This manicure is perfect for the times when you're in a hurry but still want your nails to look pretty!

Born Pretty Holographic Powder

Hi,
Today I'll show you my new sparkly manicure I created with Born Pretty's holographic powder. I started with one coat of Sephora - Black lace on all nails and then I applied the powder.


You can see that there's a little brush - exactly like an eye make up brush - to use for applying the powder on the nails. It's easy to apply, but the effect is not so breathtaking like the chrome powder I told you about here. The final look is ok in both cases, but I needed more product to achieve this look, compared to the chrome powder which was perfectly opaque after applying just a small quantity of product. 

I created the unicorn using this sheet of nail vinyls. After applying the vinyl, I applied the powder and then removed it and got the little unicorn. Finally, I applied clear top coat on all nails. What do you think of the final look? Have you tried the nail powder yet?

Yellow roses

Hi,
Today I'll show you my new vibrant manicure that matches the hot season we're in. I wanted something colourful and I went for a combination of orange, green and yellow. I started with two coats of Rimmel - Tangerine Tent and then I created my own decals using Born Pretty's BP-73 stamping plate.

I started by stamping the design with Born Pretty's Black stamping nail polish and then let the image dry on the stamper. I used El Corazon - Matte Effect #145 Neon and Rimmel - Daisy days to fill in the flowers and leaves. After it dried, I applied some clear top coat and then unstuck the decal from the stamper and stuck it on my nail. I finished by applyimg clear top coat on all nails to seal everything in. What do you think?

Chrome nail art powder

Hi,
Today I'll show you my summery chrome manicure I easily realised using Born Pretty's nail art powder. I started with a coat of black nail polish on all nails and let it dry. Then I applied the powder (colour 684) using a small eyeshadow brush that came together with the powder. It's unbelievable how well the powder sticks to the nail and how pigmented it is. Then I applied clear top coat to seal it in and spent some hours admiring it. I decided to also apply some sea shell stickers as the colour of my nails reminded me of the sea. Then I applied some more clear top coat. What do you think? Did you try the chrome powder yet? If not, believe me, you HAVE TO!

French manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you something simple and elegant: a french manicure! I'm usually more into coloured nails or simply just something more than just the white tips, so I couldn't help but transforming the ring finger's nail into an accent nail. The white nail polish I used is Madam Glam - Snow white, a nail polish totally opaque after a single coat. On the accent nail, I stamped the design from Lady Queen's BC-09 stamping plate and then added some golden studs which I got from Born Pretty store. I finished with a layer of clear top coat on all nails.
