Use code DNLW10 for a 10% discount on everything.


This is fairly easy to make but a little time consuming.

1. Add 2 layers of any pale nude pink polish.

2. Coat with a transparent glitter polish and paint a french.

3. Using the acrylic powder build or mold a heart and add it wherever you want on the pink side of the nail.

4. Add a blue AB rhinestone in the middle of the french line.

5. Start making an outline with silver microbeads on each side of the stone. I used a toothpink for it. Doing this while the topcoat is wet will help you glide the beads around very easy.

6. Add 1 pink rhinestone on both side of the blue one and continue adding beads around all 3 of them until you get something like this:

7. Add some pink micro beads under each side of the heart. Make the beads line curve a little.

8. Coat the hearts only with glitter topcoat so they won't look dull.

9. Seal everything in 2 layers of topcoat and add cuticle oil.

Born Lolita tutorial

I HAD to make a design with this new nail polish i got, because I absolutely love the color, so I came up with the lolita design.

You can find the review for the new polish here
http://deenails0.blogspot.com/2013/06/review-tips-and-tricks-new-bps-holo.html

Materials used:

• Born pretty holo polish #2
• Acrylic paint: black, white, light pink
• Painting brushes
• NYC tribeca silver
• 5mm light pink rhinestones
• 1.5mm clear rhinestones
• Hot pink star rhinestones
• Clear holographic 1mm glitter flakes

I polished all the nails with my new favorite polish that you can get here
 

The next step I did was to paint a semi circular shape on the bottom of every nail using black acrylic paint.

Outline the black shape with a silver polish.

Use top coat before going to the next step in case you make any mistake.

Use light pink acrylic paint to make some dots with a brush or dotting tool. I used a brush because my dotting tools are not big enough.

Paint some smaller dots with white paint.

Using a toothpick, brush, or orange stick make some very small dots in the empty spaces without clustering them.

Paint a layer of topcoat and add a big pink/purple rhinestone on the silver line and 2 small clear rhinestones on each side of it.

For the middle nails I painted different sized white dots on half of the nail.


After adding some topcoat I applied random transparent holographic glitter between the dots. It's not so visible in my picture but it enhances the polish effect.

I added the same rhinestones like on the other nails and some extra star rhinestones between the white dots.

Seal everything in topcoat and apply cuticle oil.

This is a super easy to make design and pretty fast. It also has a great effect.

My step by step pictures are a little messy but i fixed everything on the way for an overall nice result.

Review- Tips and tricks- new BPS holo polish

Ok, I was super excited about owning one of these absolute gorgeous nail polishes. When I finally received it and looked at the bottle I did not think the actual polish on the nails will look anything like in the pictures in the product description, but ..omg..it actually works!

After getting to use it in an actual design I can rate it pretty high from 1 to 5 stars compared to the big brands I'm using.

• Value ★★★ It has a very small bottle, only 6ml and it can be quite pricey if you don't find it on promotion.
• Dry time ★★★★ it dries super fast even after 2-3 coats.
• Pigment ★★★★ this is supposed to be a soft pink, but even like this you can turn it into a hot pink with only 2 coats.
• Holographic effect ★★★★★ it can't be better than this. As my picture shows, it's insane.
• Consistency ★★★★ it's thin, but not too thin, just good enough to keep the pigment. However, you can't really use it for stamping or painting.
• I can't rate how long it will last on the nails because I just started using it, but I never had problems with polish chipping or peeling off because I'm always using a good top coat.

Tips

• You can turn your nails from soft holo pink to hot holo pink with 3 thin coats. Let each coat dry completely before applying another one.
• If you first use it under artificial low light don't be upset if the holo effect won't be visible. It's at its best in natural light.
• You can enhance the holo effect greatly by applying a shinny top coat. The polish is made with rainbow holographic glitter particles that will shine at their fullest if you give them a kick.
• You can create some amazing designs with this polish, without glitter being much needed. Simple designs turn sparlky under sun light.
• This polish is best used for day outfits. It's a soft delicate color. Born pretty store has bright holo polishes for clubbers as well.
• Because the bottle is so small, don't make an everyday use out of this little polish, even if it becomes your favorite. You'll run out of it faster than you think.
• Shake it well before using it. The more the glitter particles are spread in it, the better the effect.
• Apply it in thin coats. The holo effect is way better then after applying it in a thick coat.
• The longer your nails are, the more spectacular the effect is. I tried it on my toe nails, not near as good as on my long finger nails.
• The polish works great on artificial nails as well. I tried it on gel, acrylic, and natural nails. it works exactly the same
• Applying gel or acrylic over the polish, even if it's trasparent, might ruin the overall effect. My advice: stick to top coat.

Here's a macro picture  of the way the polish is composed after applying it on the nail. Pretty ha?

The polish is on discount right now. Chose from various colors. To get it click on the silly heart.
