Easy diva christmas nails with bling and bows

A design in christmas colors, very easy to make. The bling nails only took about 5 minutes each. I have no idea how many 2mm rhinestones I put on each nail, but I just got myself a pack of about 15.000 or 20.000 (no joke) pieces for few dollars. I'll put the link on in the list:



Polishes used:

  • Brodway nails -stripped off (ring fingers)
  • NYC- high line green (index fingers)
  • NYC- big apple red creme (all the rest)
  • WNW megalast- on the 101
  • WNW megalast- field of greens
  • WNW wild shine- hallucination
  • Topcoat from broadway nails
Materials:
On items from born pretty store, you can use code DNLW10 for a 10% site wide discount off items not found in promotion. Shipping is free for most countries, for some countries 3$ shipping will be charged for more package security because of the holiday peak.

Tips:
  • use a generous ammount of topcoat to stick the rhinestones to your nails. too much topcoat, however, will get bulky between the stones and won't look good
  • avoid using much topcoat over them, it will look horrible
  • i used a very thin layer of glitter topcoat over the rhinestones to add some more sparkle
  • use little glue to stick the bow on so you can take it off and reuse it
  • avoid adding topcoat over the bow, it will ruin it

Snowman holiday nail art design


I've been away for a while, not in my nature not to post anything on my blog for 2 weeks. But i finally came up with this holiday themed nail design and a cute little snow man for my accent nail. I used candy cane main colors for all my finger nails except my ring finger nails. Here's the polishes and materials used, some are clickable so you can see where I got them from.






On items from born pretty store, you can use code DNLW10 for a 10% site wide discount off items not found in promotion. Shipping is free for most countries, for some countries 3$ shipping will be charged for more package security because of the holiday peak.

Tips: 

  • for more precision when making lines make sure you have equal parts of water and  paint on the brush
  • when drawing details on the snowman keep the brush mostly dry so colors wont mix
  • always topcoat after a step if you want to be more secure
  • a mistake with the paint can be easly removed with alcohol. topcoats prevents the paint under it to be erased as well

There will be more holiday related nail art designs so stay tuned!

Born pretty store favorite 3D item

Hello ladies. Since www.bornprettystore.com has a voting going on for their most popular 3D decorations, here's my vote for the one that I liked the best from their selection of 18 items.

This 3D heart decoration with dangles is the ultimate affordable luxury for any fan of deco nails. In japanese nail subculture this type of nail accessory is used in various ways in the nail salons.


A deco nail lover like me will always have something big and shinny on at least one nail in any set. And the best thing about it, is that you don't have to drill a hole through your nail! This can be glued on, set into uv gel or set into acrylic, or just be put on with topcoat.

It can be reused if you take it off with care so you won't have to run around trying to get more everytime you want to accessorize your perfect manicure.

If you prefer not to use them on your nails, you can always give your phone case a little sparkle!

You can find these beautiful decorations HERE

Get a 10% discount at checkout using the official code GPL91, only on www.bornprettystore.com . don't forget to check out this blog post to vote for your favorite too! http://www.bornprettystore.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-get-your-favorite-3d-nail-art.html
ENJOY!

Rock star design




Something really cute and not so easy to make if you don't use a stamping plate or sticker. I really like this
design, the fact that the stars didn't come out to be the best is not that important to me.

Here's the mats and tools used to create this design:


For the products linked from www.bornprettystore.com you can use the code DNLW10 for a 10% site wide discount and free airmail shipping on all products with no minimum purchase. Discount doesn't apply for the already discounted items on the site.


Friendly advice: don't use your good paintting brushes with nail polish. It will ruin them so easy, especially if they're made out of sable hair. If you need to use nail polish with a smaller brush than the one in the bottle, use a brush with plastic bristles or a toothpick.

The stars are all hand painted, maybe the reason why they're all different shapes, but I don't care, I like them the way they are.

Video will be added soon.
