Fabiana's Yellow Polka Dot Bikini... Nail Art

Hello, everyone!

It has been a while since I posted. Life, getting a new community Google+ up and running, work and a touch of laziness can be a deadly combination.

I haven't stopped doing my nails though.

So for this week's prompt in Nail Art Nation, we have the "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini". Which goes hand in hand with the #techniqueofthemonth "Dotticure". We are having fun with dots!

This was my plan from the start. I wanted to create a mani with a design I would want to see on a bikini. So here it is. Gradient dots over a taupe base of Essie "Chinchilly". :)

Polishes:

Essie "Chinchilly"

OPI "The IT Color"

Cover Girl "Electroglow"

Orly "Glowstick"

Yellow acrylic paint

Now, the best part. If you are looking for a great matte top coat. Look no further than Deborah Lippmann "Flat Top". It is a gorgeous, subtle matte top coat that adds just the right touch of elegance to the mani.

For now, I leave you with this super fun mani and hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Much affection, Fabiana

Mags' BPS Review & Fruity Nail Art

Hello Everyone!

The last review I have for you is for another Born Pretty Store's stamping plate, it the fruits pattern plate from Ia Qin An number Y004.

This plate is perfect for the leadlight technique or the reverse stamping. Its fine sketched lines make for a beautiful finish.

You get strawberries, grapes, apricots, pears, lemons and apples. Yummy!

When I saw how fine the lines were I have to admit I was a bit worried they wouldn't stamp well, but I was pleasantly surprised! You do have to stamp quickly though as there isn't a lot of polish to stamp with so it dries very fast. But nothing impossible.

I decided, to do neon fruits (I know , what a shocker ;p), because why the Hell not, right?

Aren't they so yummy looking?

That's it for the Born Pretty Store reviews for now, I hope you found them useful. Remember you can use the code BESG10 to get 10% off on all the website.
I'd like to thank BPS for sending me those 4 products to review, I do like them all, and I would recommend them. I didn't get paid by or am I affiliated with this company, I just really liked the products.


I'll see you next time!

Mags' BPS Review & Neon Watermarble Nail Art

Hello Everyone,

today I'm doing the third review from Born Pretty Store, and this time it's nail art studs we're going to talk about.

In this very well packaged pot (trust me, the cat dropped it on the floor twice and it didn't open or exploded, phew) you get 2 shapes of studs. The rounds are full neon colors (yellow, orange, pink, green, blue and purple). The squares are 2 colors (1 black + 1 color) with different patterns. As much as the neons ones are fairly common, the square ones are quite original.

The studs are nicely flat and rest nicely on the nails. I have no cons about those really.

And as you know I had to do some nail art because life without nail art is sad!
So I went the easy road as for the studs, and picked the simple neon ones, but then I did a watermarble accent nail, so you can't blame me. I hate watermarble and I very well suck at it, but for some weird reason, I decided to do this (probably got secretly inspired by my friend +Elie Corzo ) and I did it, first try, no mess (well almost, did dip 2 fingers instead of one because i'm clumsy) and the result was great!

The Claire's Neon polishes I used for the watermarble worked incredibly, which let's face it, is a first for me.

Those neons studs over black look amazing!! Remember that you can use the code BESG10 if you're tempted (or for any other temptation ;))

We got one more review to go!
I'll see you next time!
