Snow Themed Winter Mani

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ? Mine was pretty chill - I think I might have had a super quiet weekend - but I really enjoyed all the chill time.  Today I have another fun mani to share with you guys. I have 1more  BornPrettyStore  plate to use and share - and I saved this to use in the cooler months here . I really love how easy these plates are to pick up the designs - as I mentioned I do have a MoYou plates but they are much harder to pick up the images. The images picks up flawlessly and all look pretty amazing ( I will share some stamping images at the end of the post ) . The link to the plate is  HERE .  The colours I used : Essence White on White China Glaze Fairy Dust Essence All That Greys Back To Black  So onto the nail look -  And some stamping swatches - so you can get a feel for the plate : I really love the plates - these are pretty easy to use and I would 100% would recommend...

Born Pretty Stamping Plate - BP-L052 & Nail Protector Review

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday ? How has your week been ?  Today I'm sharing two manis as well as two product reviews from  BornPrettyStore  - a gorgeous design (although these aren't too florally - I love the design of this plate ) and the Cuticle Guide Nail Protectors .  First off - I haven't used any of the Born Pretty Store rectangular stamping plates - so I was pretty impressed with the size of this one . The images all pick up perfectly - which is great since I have Mo You plates that cost a lot more that doesn't pick up the images well. I use a squishy clear stamper for all the stamping I do.  I did two manicures with two different designs so far (I'm still wearing the pinky one as this was my Valentine's week mani ) . For this mani I used : Essence White on White Essence Grey Zone China Glaze Haunting China Glaze Fairy Dust And onto nail look two -  For this mani I used : Avon Magic Lace Polish (Pink) Revlon Chard...

Owl Love You Water Decal mani

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday. How has your week been ? Mine has been an extremely long week so far - I really can't wait to get home on Saturday afternoon from work and just chill.  As I mentioned in my last nail related post - I am trying to make a bit more effort with my nails this year. Water Decals makes having pretty nails so much easier - it really takes a few seconds for some gorgeous art on your fingertips.  Today I'm sharing  THESE  pretty water decals from  BornPrettyStore  . Again - I went predictable for me and went with owls (Can I just say I am having so much fun with these owl decals )  I love using them as accent nails instead of full Mani's - I find that way the look doesn't look too overly done . I picked the cute pink owls - but how gorgeous are those top row of owls too ?? So onto the nails : And a little close up of the star of the show - the little pink owl :  The colours used : Essence White On Whit...

Owl Accent Nail Mani

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday . How has your week been so far ? Mine is actually pretty good so far so I don't have any complaints.  Back in November Born Pretty Store contacted me to offer me some goodies to review on the blog, and while the postage time did suck over the Holiday period - I finally received the goodies last week and I'm sharing the first nail look I did with them with you today . THESE  decals from  BornPrettyStore  includes some fun Christmas inspired owls , as well as some everyday owls. While Christmas might be over , I couldn't wait to play with these decals as I love Owl everything. Water decals always have the prettiest designs - and they are super easy to use too. I love using them as accent nails instead of full Mani's - I find that way the look doesn't look too overly done . So onto the nails :  The colours used : Essence White On White China Glaze Glistening Snow China Glaze Fairy Dust Tip Top Milkyway OPI ...

piCture pOlish Allure Skittlette

Hi guys ! Happy Monday ! How was your weekend ?? Did you have any fun weekend plans ? As I mentioned, I'm on a huge piCture pOlish kick lately... And I'm pretty sure the brand has become hands down my favourite nail polish brand. The formula on these polishes are AMAZING ... And the colours just gorgeous... And another bonus... The colours last on me about 7 days with minimal tip wear. Yeah ! A little while back , I ordered Allure... A bright vibrant magenta colour. And I was blown away by how seriously gorgeous this colour is. Allure is very pigmented ... If you use thicker coats of polish you can easily get away with one coat. I used two as always. The formula is yet again perfection. Allure does dry down to a matte finish, but I preferred to use some top coat to make it sparkle.  So onto the skittlette : And a little close up of the star of the show : For this mani I used : Purple - piCture pOlish Allure Black - Tip Top Black Forest Purple...

Hi guys ! Hope you all had an amazing Easter weekend and had tons of chocolate eggs and bunnies. :)  My week has been super busy ... And getting a new carpet in Alex's room today so looking forward to see the end results.  Today I'm sharing the gorgeous mani I did when my Aunt graduated and received her Bachelor of Education with Honours earlier this month. I did post a little sneak peek on the day  HERE  on Instagram too.  I really loved the stamping so much, I might do a full stamping mani in the future. But onto the nails -  For the mani I used : Pinky - China Glaze Glistening Snow Ring - Tip Top Black Forest stamped with China Glaze Adore (And my MoYou plate) Middle, Pointer and thumb - Avon Nail Wear Pro Loving Lavender I loved that this mani was girly and classy at the same time .  How has your week been so far ?
