Super sparkly musical nails

Hello everyone!

Even though everyone switched to pastels, greens and flowers, I was still in the mood for icy blue this week, since it's still cold around here, so I came up with this super fun and easy to do musical design.

Star of the week is a new stamping plate from bornprettystore.com combined with lots and lots of different glitter.

The stamping plate is number BP-47 and you can find it here for $2.99. It features 8 patterns with music notes, Michael Jackson, piano keys and other music related stuff for music lovers.

The details on the images are the best quality like bps already got us used to with all their new stamping plates. I had no trouble picking them up. I used my new Born pretty stamping polishes that I finally received in the mail. I'm still getting used to them and I will have an upcoming review for all the colors soon.

If you are new to stamping plates, this one like every one I got so far come with a blue plastic film over them, that needs to be peeled off before use. I have seen recently someone who couldnt stamp asking for advice who shared a photo of their plate with the film still on, on facebook. Again, peel that off.

I used my XL squishy stamper with this plate, and I found it a little difficult to keep the lines straight by rolling it, so my advice for the music notes is to press them straight down on the nail and not roll them.

Now for my background setting I used the following polishes:

NYC - Empire state blue (base color)
Milani - gold glitz (accent nail)
Broadway Nails- Paradise water
Color concept - blue glitter that I found at DG

I used the white and black stamping polishes from the BP stamping polish collection.

I believe this plate to be perfect for beginners because it transfers so easy or for those who want a quick eye catching nail art design.

It's sisters from the collection can be found here.

And of course, I had to have a star from their jewelry collection. Today I'm wearing a new galaxy ring, pattern F, that I got for $2.75. It matches perfectly with the galaxy necklaces they put out a while back and I got my hands on one of them as soon as I saw them.

I hope you enjoyed my design. If you would like to grab any of the featured items, you can use code DALK31 for a side wide 10% discount and free shipping with no minimum order.

Full pattern stamping plate

Hello everyone!

I've received 4 new plates from the new BPS plate collection! They're absolutely stunning.

Whoever invented the full pattern stamping plates was a genious! You don't have to worry it won't fit your nail lenght, or you can't get the exact part to show on your nail. These type of plates are by far the easiest ones i got to use.

This particular plate is BP53 from http://www.bornprettystore.com . It's a floral design perfect for spring that is approaching.

I found it extremely easy to use with regular white polish. I used WNW megalast "white topping" as it has a thicker consistency and doesn't try too fast.

The design is very crisp. The details are pretty fine but I had no trouble making it show perfect on the nail.

I think whoever is having trouble with finding plates that are usable for long nails should look into this one or its sisters from the collection, or from the earlier collections, as they have plenty!

The base I used for the design is a black polish coated with 1 thin layer of BPS holo polish nr 1. You can find my review for the whole polish collection here

Full pattern platest are the fastest ways to get perfect nail art in minutes. I recommend using a squishy stamper with them. Rubber ones dont seem to pick fine details so well.

If you like this plate you can get it for $2.99 and if you use my code below at checkout, you can get a 10% discount and free shipping with no minimum order.

If you love that owl ring, if you're an owl fanatic like me, I got it on discount for $1.59 from the same place. It's absolutely lovely and I can't take my eyes off it.

Product featured was received as sample for review. All the opinions are honest, unaltered and my own.

Easy stamping with a new plate

Hello everyone!

First of all I want to let everyone know that I opened a donation page for my family. If you want to read our story and help by spreading the word or with a donation I would be forever grateful.

Our story

Back on the topic. I received a wonderful plate with full nail designs from bornprettystore.com that I got my hands on during a seckill a while back.

Plate BPL-005 is about 12.5 on 6.5cm and features 21 full patterns. They have more styles available, but for the following nail design I used one of the floral patterns on this plate.

As a side note, Born Pretty Store released a bunch of new plates available for 99 cents until January 20th you can find them here http://www.bornprettystore.com/show.php?filter=new_arrivals&cid=652

If you want it you can use code DALK31 for a 10% site wide discount and free shipping.

Pros:

The plate is 5.99 not discounted which is not bad for 21 designs in one shot. BPS has many discount days so you can get it even half the price.
The images are extremelly crisp. I don't have any special stamping polish and have to use thickened polish to stamp but the images come out clear and detailed.
It has a pink plastic back that goes around the edges. If you have many stamping plates you know many of them are razor sharp and easy to cut with. This one is completely safe.

Cons:

I would have loved if the plate was a little bigger so it could handle bigger patterns.
This plate is not made for long nails. My nails are medium and pretty narrow, but my thumb nails couldn't be covered completely. The patterns are a little short even for medium lenght nails.

This particular design was super easy to make. The polishes I used are:

Sally Hansen Insta dry- Black to black
Pure Ice - don't you wish.

I used black as base color and 1 layer of pure ice. After they completely dry I stamped one of the floral patterns on all nails and coated with another layer of pure ice.

I added 2mm rhinestones from BPS in the middle of the flowers and sealed with top coat.

I wouldn't call it a 5 minutes manicure because of the waitting time but is overall newbie friendly.

The stamper I used is the XL squishy stamper from BPS and the polish I used for stamping is Wet'n'Wild megalast "whipped topping".

These days I also received a necklace that I'm crazyyyyyyy about. I will have to review it later togheter with a lot of jewelry that I odered. You can find this necklace here in a lot of variations, but I promise you it's amazing.

Thank you for stopping by!

Gothic new year nail design

Hello everyone!

Today I'll show you my nails I've done for new years eve and my birthday. Since I've decided to get another piercing done as a bday present, I guess why not badass metal nails to go with it.

These nails symbolise pretty much a drastical change I want to do to my life. Strong girls need a strong attitude to go with it, so here I come 2015 and a quarter century of life!

Polishes:

Broadway nails- Sexy Lillian
Broadway nails- Hot& Sexy
Sally Hansen hard as nails- Black

Materials:

I've started with a vampire red base color and black on the accent nail. I applied one coat of red glitter polish over the red base.

On all my nails except the black one I stamped one of the lace patterns from the BS02 plate linked above. As always I used my squishy stamper and the polish I used for stamping is the black from the Hard as Nails series from Sally Hansen.

I sealed wiith UV top coat and before curing I applied the studs and rhinestones.

Pretty easy just annoying to place the studs perfect. They slide so easy and I needed to cure each nail before going on the next so they won't change position.

Oh and in case you're wondering bout those bold awsome set of rings I'm wearing, I got them in a 1 cent seckill from BPS. Right now they're $2.99 for a set of 5 in gold or silver.

You can use code DILIC10 for 10% discount at checkout.

Hope you enjoyed and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hello everyone!
