Full Nail Flower Waterdecals - Pictorial

For today I have a pictorial for these super cute full nail Flower waterdecals.

The Born Pretty Store was kind enough to send me these to try and review. 

The review will be my next blogpost.

The waterdecals are easy to use and you have an instant great result without much problems.

I decided to go with the flowers decals and I cut the decal in 5 pieces. There are 2 of the same decals, so enough for 2 full hands or numerous accentnails.

First I painted my nails light Salmonpink, but white would also be a great choice.

When my polish was completely dry, I pulled of the plastic layer. 

Don't forget to do this, or your decals sticks to the plastic and will not be able to transfer to your nails. 

I've learnt that the hard way ;)

Take a tweezer and place the cut decals in water, one at a time.

Wait for a couple of seconds (10-20) and check if the decals slides off the paper backing.

It should look like this.

Transfer the decal to your nail and wiggle until the decals is in the right place. As long as your nail and/or decals are wet, it will be able to move on its place.

Cut the excess decal with a little scissor. 

I also cut the end of the nail. I see a lot of people file it off, but I noticed that when I cut it real close, the topcoat will shrink the decals a little bit and that is enough to smooth out the end of your nail/waterdecal. 

This is how it should look like when you've done one nail with topcoat.

I really like how it came out! 

The decals are easy to use and with 4 different patterns, you can find what you like!

And these are the 4 waterdecals you can choose from from the Born Pretty Store.

It is item #20316 and you can find it HERE

Seashells and Starfish nailstickers, review for Born Pretty Store

For today's blog, I have a review of the cute silver seashell and starfish stickers from BornPrettyStore.com 
You can choose roses, seashells or seashells and starfish in white, black, gold or silver.
I choose silver, because I think it fits really well with the blue of the ocean.

I started with a white basecoat to make the colors pop. Then I tore a piece of makeup sponge and dabbed that in a teal nailpolish and then applied that on my nails. Then I used a light teal and dabbed that on so there would be some dimension. I also used some white nailpolish, because I thought it was to blue.....

The next step is to apply the stickers. There are 4 kinds of stickers I used: big and little seashells and big and little starfishes. 

It was easy to get the stickers of the plastic and even easier to apply on my nails.

I usually don't use nailstickers, because they are thick and you can see them, but these are thinner then I'm used to, so a good coat of topcoat and it is almost not visible.

Because I wanted to put on some sand for a realistic look, I applied the topcoat one finger at a time and then added the sand.

The sand is in a little container, so I dipped in the tip of my nail to get the sand where I wanted it to be.

With a fanbrush I removed the excess sand and went on to the next nail.

And this is the endresult!

I love them so much!!! 

The silver stickers give this design the extra touch that makes the design this nice!

The stickers are easy to use and not as thick as I expected, which is another plus for this item!

They are called 3D Nail Art Stickers Chic Floral Starfish Nail Tips Stamping Decals and are itemnumber#20479 and you can find them HERE 

If you like them as much as I do and want to order them, make sure to use my discount code LWGK31 for a 10% discount on your next purchase with BornPrettyStore.

Purple Sharpie with stamped flower - Pictorial

For this cute purple design I've made a pictorial. I hope you like it!

This are the products I've used:

- Flomar Matte White, because I've noticed that a matte basecoat works better with the markers.

- Purple, Pink and Blue markers, a brush and alcohol. I've used 70% alcohol and that works great, but there are tutorials which use a higher %

- Kleancolor 'Purple Metallic' and Dashica 'White' for stamping, Simplism Style stampingplates 04 and 16 (I've got these from AliExpress)

- Topcoat. I use Seche Vite

- Caviar beads. I've used purple one, because of the purple theme.

Apply the white nailpolish

When the polish is dry, use the markers to color on your nails. I just drew some random stripes with all the colors.

Take your brush and dip it in the alcohol. A little bit goes a long way. 

Then let your brush lightly touch the markerink and let the magic happen! 

I love to see how the alcohol makes the ink work ;)

Repeat the previous 2 steps until you are satisfied with how it looks. 

I've got this result after repeating the 2 steps 3 times. I then applied my Seche Vite as a base for the stamping.

This image is on stampingplate Simplism Style 16 and I've used the Kleancolor polish for the stamping.

Stamp the image on your nails.

This image is on stampingplate Simplism Style 04 and I've used the Dashica polish for the stamping.

Stamp the image on your nails.

And for the final touch, the caviar beads, I've applied another coat of the Seche and placed the beads in the heart of the flower. Finish with a last coat of topcoat. Don't forget to dap the topcoat on the beads so it doesn't look like a big blob with beads in them.

And then you are ready!

I hope you like my pictorial!

Stamped Ladybugs over Golden Flowers

For this Ladybug-design I've made a pictorial of all the steps I've made.

And I am back to nubbins, because of a nasty break in my middle-finger. But with this design I don't mind rocking them ;)

First I've painted all my nails with Essence ''Wonder Wow! Man!', a gorgeous golden polish that is opaque in 2 coats.
When the basecolor had dried completely, I started with the first stamping layer.

For the flower-image I used stampingplate JQ-L18 (bought on AliExpress) and Catrice '(S)Wimbleon', a light aqua/teal greenish color, that stamps wonderful!

The nail stamped with the flowers looks like this, after cleanup. I topcoated with Seche Vite, because I mess up my decals a lot, so with a layer of topcoat it is easy to remove the decal or stampingimage.

For the ladybug I use a cute image of a stampingplate by (I think) Shany, but I cannot find the plate anywhere, so I can't tell the plate number.
As you can see, the whole image didn't transfer correctly, but I don't mind, because nobody is perfect ;) Even precious ladybugs.... (or I am just making excuses) 
I've used multiple stampingheads, so I can make more decals at once.

When the black stampingpolish was completely dried, I filled all the body's in with a bright red.(Dashica 'Pure Red' in my case) Because of my multiple stampingheads, I could immediately fill the images with the red, when I finished stamping the ladybugs.

The red took a little more time to dry, but within 10 minutes, I could start with transferring the ladybugs.

Because the images are not to big, I just placed the stampinghead on my nail and the ladybug had no problem being transferred to my nail. (except for the tiny little feet)

I am really pleased with how this design came out and those nubbins.... they will grow and before I know it, I have long(er) nails again. But until that time: #embracetheshorties !

Edgy design: Spikes on my nails

For today I have an Edgy design with Spikes.

For the last nailartchallenge for the month May, the prompt of a challenge was 'Edgy' and when I was planning this design, I immediately thought of the spikes that I've bought a long time ago and that I've only used one time before.

The spikes and sequins are are dark, so I wanted to use some bright nailpolishes and the polishes I used are Kleancolor 'Neon Amethyst' and 'Silver Purple'

Because I only wanted one nail with all spikes, I used black holographic sequins for some extra 'edgy-ness'
I've tried to get the holo-goodness on photo, but that was almost impossible, so only in one picture you can see some of it.

I put some Seche Vite on the sequins to adhere the spikes and that worked really well!

I love the endresult and because of the different kind of design then i usually make, I tried some different handposes and I think the 'claw' is a fitting pose for this design!

NOTD Silver Tribal

 My NOTD is this Silver Tribal nailart and is for #glamnailschallenge on Instagram.

My basecolor is a beautiful silver polish, made out out micro-glitter from the Hema.
This is 2 coats of the polish which dries really fast.

When the polish was drying, I stamped a tribal image from BornPrettyStore BPL-010 stampingplate and filled that in with on the stampinghead with Dashica 'Neon Yellow' and 'Neon Red'.

To make a sticker, I polished the image with the Silver Hema-polish and let that dry thoroughly.

With a tweezer I then lifted the image from the stampinghead and placed it on my nail. 

With a scissor I cut the image in my nailshape and with a brush with acetone, I cleaned up my cuticles.

Because the silver polish is made of glitter, I could not get my cuticles as clean as I would have wanted....
