Allo polish Pals!

How are you today? I've got a double whammy review for two items from the Born Pretty Store today which I've combined into one manicure just because I really like how they work together!

Today I'll be showing you 'Chevron Nail Tape' and '3D Shining Star RhinestoneNail Decorations' I'll be talking about each of these separately so please lets continue on-wards!.. and upwards!...well actually downwards.

Tropical Treasures

Allo polish Pals,
Hope you are well today? I had quite a busy and great weekend but unfortunately I am now pretty sick (Don't worry, just my usual stomach syndrome. I am barely able to think past the pain – realistically I probably shouldn't have done those 5 miles this morning know I was not feeling well.) so I am going to keep today’s post really short and sweet. All I can really say about this manicure is that when I was planning it that I started off with green and blue, somewhere along the way I ended up with what you see here..

On three of my nails I began with Rimmel's 'Tutti Frutti' and created a gradient with Model's own 'Pink Punch'. I then used striping tape to create a pattern and added Sally Hansen's ' Green With Envy' on top. I finished these nails by adding some silver square/diamond studs to the centre. On my remaining nails I used all the same colours to create a simple chevron look and added some small triangle studs to their centre points. I kind of wish the finished look was slightly neater, I see bubbles and such but hey ho.

What do you think about this bright three coloured look? Have you created a striping tape manicure with a gradient?

Have a great evening!

Love

Rainbow Chevron Nails With MoYouNail's Newly Stocked Plates

*This item was sent to me to review but as always will contain my full and honest opinion :)

Allo polish Pals!

How are you today? I hope you've been having a good week. How is your weather? Here in Holland its a beautiful sunny day, it lovely to sit and type with the door wide open and lots of sunlight filling the room. Did you know that MoYouNails have a whole new range of stamping plates in stock? When I was contacted to try out a few of the new plates I was of course so excited and even more excited when I saw the 128 stamping plate because I've wanted to wear a chevron/zigzag design since forever. This is a full design plate. Come take a look and please excuse my slightly blue finger...

A shot of the beautiful 128 stamping plate and... Argh, Blue index finger!

All the designs on this plate are gorgeous and I am looking forward to trying them out really soon; I'll also have another two plates to show you in the near future. I am really looking forward to trying the mermaid scale pattern and the diagonal lines which remind me of sun rays. I highly recommend you take a look at MoYouNails if you have not yet done so. They carry a wide selection of high quality stamping plates, polishes and many sets and accessories.

For this manicure I decided to create a horizontal rainbow gradient and used the following colours, from thumb to pinkie: Catrice's 'Lime Heart Beating Like A Drum', Yes Love's '007', Rimmel's 'Blue Eyed Girl' (The blue stained finger culprit) Picture Polishes 'Wisteria', Yes Love's 'N025' and Barry M's 'Peach Melba'. I then decided to use this plate by making decals using Fogan's '#08' to stamp and Collistar's '#37' for some rainbow glitter pizazz!

I am so happy to finally have chevron nails and I am happy with how the rainbow looks with the stamping decal. I just wish I didn't photograph my blue-d up finger and my cuticles were a little neater but oh well!

So what do you think of this manicure? Have you tried MoYouNails stamping plates yet?

Have a great day!

Love

Ithi
