Trind Keratin Treatment + navy nail art

Tweet

Hi,

Today's post will include a short review of the Trind's Keratin Treatment for weak nails, as well as my most recent navy manicure which you might have already seen on Instagram. 

Buna, 

Postarea de astazi va include un scurt review despre tratamentul cu keratina de la Trind pentru unghiile slabite, dar si cea mai recenta manichiura marinareasca, pe care s-ar putea sa o fi vazut deja pe pagina mea de Instagram. 

The kit I have contains two products meant to strengthen and repair the structure of deteriorated nails: a protecting balm which is absorbed fast by the nails and a protecting nail lacquer which can be applied after the balm.This treatment couldn't come to me in a most appropriate moment! My nails have started to weaken and I saw the results after the first use. The directions of use recommends applying the protecting balm more times a day. I have to admit that I couldn't prevent myself from painting my nails for too long. I held up for a day and I applied it about 10 times. In the pictures below, you can see how my nail looked before and after applying a coat of protecting balm, two coats of protecting balm, respectively a coat of protecting lacquer.

Kitul pe care l-am achizitionat contine doua produse menite sa intareasca si sa repare structura unghiei deteriorate: un balsam protector, cu o structura ce se absoarbe rapid, si un lac protector ce se aplica dupa. Acest tratament nu ar fi putut ajunge in mainile mele intr-un moment mai potrivit. Unghiile mele au inceput sa slabeasca si am simtit diferenta inca de la prima utilizare. Pe prospect se recomanda aplicarea balsamului protector chiar si de multe ori pe zi. Trebuie sa recunosc ca eu nu m-am putut abtine foarte mult timp sa nu-mi pictez unghiile. Am rezistat o zi, de-a lungul careia am aplicat balsamul aproximativ de 10 ori. In fotografiile de mai jos puteti vedea cum arata unghia inainte, dupa un strat de balsam, apoi dupa doua straturi de balsam si in final dupa un strat de lac protector, ce poate fi folosit ca o baza pentru oja. Rezultatele sunt evident vizibile dupa primul strat de balsam. 

Kitul de ratament cu keratina il puteti gasi aici, la un pret special.

Because I liked this treatment a lot, I also ordered a coloured nail polish from Trind. I chose Burst My Bubble (CC202) from their summer collection.

Pentru ca mi-a placut mult acest tratament, am comandat si o oja colorata. Am ales nuanta Burst My Bubble (CC202) din colectia de vara.

Am achizitionat produsele Trind de pe Rouge-Boutique.ro.

For the manicure above, I used straight vinyls on two of my nails, and an anchor decal on my ring finger. I got them both from Stickmenails, an online store selling plenty of beautiful stickers for nail art. If you're not sure how to use the vinyls, here's a tutorial showing you the technique. See below all that I got from their website. By the way, my order arrived extremely fast from the other side of the Earth - about 11 days.

Pentru manichiura de mai sus, am folosit stickere drepte si in forma de ancora. Le-am achizitionat de pe Stickmenails, un magazin online ce vinde foarte multe stickere frumoase pentru nail art. Daca nu sunteti sigure cum sa le folositi, urmariti acest tutorial. Mai jos puteti vedea intreaga mea comanda de pe site-ul lor, care trebuie sa va spun ca a ajuns extrem de repede din cealalta parte a globului - aproximativ 11 zile.

I used ProNails - Extreme White as a white base for my manicure. On my index finger, I applied Catrice -It blue my mind using a sponge. Trind.

Am folosit ProNails - Extreme White ca baza alba pentru manichiura mea. Pe aratator, am aplicat Catrice -It blue my mind, folosind un burete. Lacul de unghii ProNails il puteti gasi online, pe  Produsecosmetice.ro.

Holographic animal print manicure

Tweet

Hi,
Today I'll show you my new animal print manicure. I started with two coats of Catrice -Dirty berry on my index finger and two coats of Oriflame Power Shine Palladium -Blue Iridescence on my pinkie. On my middle and ring finger, I created a gradient using the two colours. The zebra design was stamped from Cheeky Beauty's GA32 plate. I finished with clear top coat and two black rhinestones. What do you think?

Blue nails with silver accent

Hi,

Today I'll show you a very simple manicure. I started with two coats of Catrice -It blue my mind on all nails except from my ring finger, on which I applied two coats of Golden Rose #54 from the Holiday collection.

I finished with clear top coat, but not on the textured nail. 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?

Polka dot manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a polka dot manicure I created to match my blue, polka dot 

dress. I started with two coats of Catrice -It Blue My Mind and then I stamped the 

dots and the bow from m79 and m59 image plates, using Konad -Special White.

I finished with the Konad -Special Top Coat. It's a very easy to do manicure, 

but an elegant one. What do you think about it?

Half moon nails

Hi,

Today I'll show you an astral manicure. I started with two coats of

Catrice -It blue my mind and then, using a french manicure tape, I created

the half moon using Stripe Rite -Yellow nail polish. Then I applied some

silver star-rhinestones on my ring finger. I finished with a clear top coat.

What do you think?

Snowman manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a new wintery manicure done with both Konad and
brushes. I started with two coats of Catrice -It Blue My Mind and then I stamped the
snowflakes from m59 image plate on 3 of my nails and made a snowman on my thumb
and ring finger. It's very easy to do - I think each of you are capable of doing it.
Use a bigger dotting pen for the snowballs and a smaller one for the eyes, nose
and buttons. Use a thin brush for the rest of the details. At the end, I topcoated
all nails and applied a silver rhinestone in the middle of the snowflakes.

I  got inspired from The Naisaurus' manicure, but her was obviously much prettier.

LaROSA - Crackle Shatter

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a cute crackle manicure.

I applied Catrice - Dirty Berry as a base color. Then I applied my mint franken from

the middle of the nail. On the tips, I applied Jesse's Girl - JulieG.

I used LaROSA- Crackle Shatter for getting the final effect. I noticed that the thicker

I apply the shatter, the big crackles I get. I like this one a lot. You can get it from NaildeRoyale.com
for $4.99. What do you think?

Hot Coco

Hi

Today I'll show you an essie nail polish from the Fall into Fashion collection.

This is 2 coats of Hot Coco, without any top coat.

I liked the texture and the brush. The application was very good, and so was the drytime.

What do you think?

Here I made a comparison between Hot Coco, #413 from Flormar and

Lost in Mud from Catrice:

Lost In Mud

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you #220 from Catrice - Lost In Mud.

I applied 2 coats of it. It's shiney and opaque, and the brush is really easy to use.

I can say that I really like the Catrice polishes I tried until now, it's a very good brand!

(pictures are taken indoors, with flash)

What do you think of it?

It's a pity that they don't sell this in too many countries, neither in mine.

I'm lucky that I had the opportunity to try this. Thanks, Mirannie!

Have a nice day!

Sold Out Forever

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you another Catrice nail polish.

It's #240, called Sold Out Forever.

I used 2 coats to get this fantastic look.

It has some sparkly particles (you can see them if you enlarge the pictures) that give

the polish a special finish look. Firstly, I thought that I'll need more than 2 coats

because the lacquer is watery, but it really is opaque after the second coat.

So, what do you think about it?

It Blue My Mind...

Tweet

... it's the name of the Catrice #270 that I'll show you today

Actualy this is the first Catrice nail polish I've ever tried.

This is only one coat without any top coat.

It is very opaque and very shiney, it dries very fast and the application is very easy

with the nice brush that it has.

All you'd wish for a nail polish.

I really do like it.

(picture is taken indoors, with flash)

I'd like to thank Mirannie again for giving me the opportunity to try this.

Here you can see her nice blog.

Thanks for passing by!
