Mags' Tropical Nail Art

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm doing a quick post to show you my tropical nail art, or hawaiian shirt nail art :p
I'm going on holidays tomorrow so I wanted bright neon nails to go with the sun and sea! The picture really don't do justice of how bright they really are!

Once again it's a gradient, I can't stop from doing them since I got liquid latex, because clean-up has never been easier. And I also stamped some hibiscus flowers, to fit the tropical theme.

I know, once more, I used the Claire's Neon polishes, you are probably tired of that, but it's been such a long, sunny and hot summer, it's all I have been wanting to wear lately :) Bear with me!!

The suitcase is packed and I'm all ready to go have some great time!! Weeee
I'll see you when I come back!

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!
