Ethnic nails

Tweet

Hi, 

Today I'll show you my new ethnic manicure I easily created using some water decals from Born Pretty store. I started with a coat of white nail polish as a base for the nails where I was going to apply the decals. The nail polished I used on the rest of the nails were El Corazon - Matte Effect 111 (pink) and China Glaze - Too Yacht to Handle (green). If you aren't familiar with water decals, they're really easy to use and they're great for quick manicures. Firstly you have to remove the protection foil from the sheet and then cut smaller pieces containing the designs you're going to use. Next, sink them in a small bowl with water for about 30 seconds. When you take them from the water, you'll notice that de design will easily come off the sheet and you'll be able to stick it on the nail. You'll just have to be very careful as it's really thin and can easily fold by mistake. If you're using them for the first time, just take a little time and pay some extra attention. After a few uses, you'll find them really easy to utilise. I finished my manicure with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Melkior New Collection Storytelling

Tweet

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.

Noua baza pentru unghii de la Melkior

Tweet

Daca sunteti cat de putin pasionate de manichiura sau obisnuiti sa va faceti unghiile singure cel putin o data pe saptamana, inseamna ca stiti deja cat este de importanta baza. Este primul pas spre o manichiura care rezista. Astazi o sa va prezint noua baza pentru unghii de la Melkior, care pe mine m-a atras de la inceput. Este vorba despre un produs 9 in 1 care vine in ajutorul nostru.

Ceea ce mi se pare si mai interesant esta ca cei de la Melkior au creat sticlute in forma ergonomica, cu sistem de auto-curatare a sticlei si capac anti-alunecare. Suna foarte bine, nu? De asemenea, sunt prevazute cu pensula lata pentru aplicare rapida.

Iata care sunt cele 9 proprietati ale acestui produs miraculos:

1.       Este baza protectoare pentru unghii.

2.       Albeste si ilumineaza unghiile.

3.       Este o baza nivelanta pentru unghii.

4.       Are rolul de a intari unghiile.

5.       Accelereaza cresterea unghiilor.

6.       Se absoarbe foarte repede in unghie.

7.       Asigura cresterea aderentei lacului de unghii.

8.       Prelungeste rezistenta lacului de unghii.

9.       Protejeaza unghia naturala de pigmentul puternic al lacului de unghii.

Toate aceste proprietati sunt posibile din cauza compozitiei din care nu lipsesc urmatoarele ingrediente:

·         Cheratina, arginina si uleiul de arbore de ceai – care au rolul de a accelera cresterea unghiei

·         Vitamina E – cu rol antioxidant

·         Vitamina C, B5 – pentru un plus de sanatate

·         Ulei de migdale – pentru netezire

·         Acid hialuronic – pentru revitalizarea unghiilor

Cum se utilizeaza Base Coat 9in1? E foarte simplu si la indemana oricui: se aplica 1 singur strat pe unghia naturala degresata in prealabil.

Fie ca folosesti oja sau nu, foloseste mereu Base Coat 9in1 pe unghiile tale! Este foarte important sa le mentii puternice, iar un strat in plus le intareste si le da rezistenta, astfel ca se vor rupe mai greu.

Stamping nail art created with stamping guide

Tweet

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.

Mix & match manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you a sweet mix & match manicure that I think is perfect for rainy days like these. I used El Corazon - Matte Effect 111 (pink) on my index fingers and pinkies and Glitter Gal - 3D Holographic nail polish on my thumbs and ring fingers. On my middle fingers I applied Madam Glam - Snow white as a base for the black dots that I created using a dotting tool. I finished with Seche Vite top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Traveling nail art

Tweet

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?
