Zoya - Storm

I guess this is one of the few polish that is self-explanatory! When you hear Zoya Storm, you just know what is going to happen. Well, most likely this is because this polish is from the Holiday collection and it has been swatched a million times... :) But it still doesn't fail! It is a gorgeous polish to wear all year long!

Storm has full coverage in two coats, three if tou make thin coats. It has millions of holographic micro glitter that shines like crazy!!!


Anyway, I'll leave you with the pictures... BTW, this is 2 coats of Storm...

RETO 2013 - Week 10 - Inspired by your immagination

My immagination is bigger than my nails!!!! Literally!

For this weeks RETO Challenge, I decided to make a unicorn mani using my Nailz Craze NC02 plate... For my base, I used 17 holographic polish. And then I stamped my designs using Konad Special Black, which is a mess at clean up but still, the best stamping polish ever... :)

Anyway, for my accent nail, I wanted to place the unicorn, but the image was bigger than my trying-to-grow nubbins, so my poor animal lost its horn!!! It looks like a regular horse now! :) Or, the Ferrari logo... LOL!!!

Check out what other ladies did this week!!!!

ORLY - Rock Solid

Here's a quick mani I did before leaving the house... This is 2 coats of ORLY Rock Solid... Gorgeous! I'll try to stamp on it another day but it looks awsome alone, too...

RETO 2013 - Week 9 - Inspired by water

I know, I know, I'm late!!! But I have my excuses!!! This week was a hectic one with all the housework that needed to be done and homeworks needed to be made (for my daughter of course)... And I hardly had time to wear polish! I know, shocking!!!

Anyway, this week for Reto 2013 Challenge we are making a mani inspired by water... When the theme is water, it is inevitable to use blue as a base color...

So I used two coats of A-England Order of the Garter, a gorgeous blue with glass flecks... On top of that, I used a coat of China Glaze Bling it on from the Glitz and Blitz collection. I am no fan of bar glitter but this time, this polish made my mani look like deep underwater, so I don't hate it that much today... :)

Born Pretty Store 15 pcs. Nail Art Brush Set

Hi everyone,

With spring coming fast, I decided to make a lively mani for today. And I chose to use my new Born Pretty Store 15pc Nail Art Design Brush Set that was sent to me to review.

First, let's have a look at the set, shall we...

The set comes is a plastic bag like this. All brushes are in plastic cases, which makes them easier to store and this way, the bristles last longer... There are 15 different kinds of brushes in this set, which I believe can satisfy one's needs... :)

You can use these brushes both for acrylic paint and nail polish. I've never tried acrylic paint before but from what I understand, it is easier to make designs with it...

Anyway, wWhen we open the bag, this is what we see...

 Opps, one is missing!!! Where are you little guy?

 There you are Big Striper Brush! You missed the group photo! Anyway, there are 3 sizes of striper brushes in this set.

 Two fan brushes... Oh, I want to try them! I see so many beautiful manis done with them...

 These must be the one-stroke brushes... Sorry guys, you'll have to sit for a while. I'm not "that" good at onestroke... :(

 This little slim guy is handy for delicate work! And it also has a shorter handle for more control!

And also, this one makes miracles... In fact, I used this one for my mani... The way it is bent gives you more control and you can work little details easier!

The tiniest dotting tool I've seen... I used this in my mani today. However I was generous with the polish, in order to make big dots... :)

Various sizes of painting brushes...

And here's today's mani done with some of these tools... :)

 I used Avon First Time Teal, Zoya Ziv, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Flormar Black Matte for this mani.

On my ring finger, I painted 2 coats of Avon First Time Teal and added Zoya Ziv dots with my new dotting tool.

On the ring finger I only have 2 coats of Zoya Ziv.

On the middle finger, I have 2 coats of Zoya Ziv. I made this design with striping tape and painted with Avon... I love this design... It was inspired by The Nailsaurus.

On the pointer finger, I have 2 coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and over that, I made the leopard design using my new brushes.

My thumb, which is not seen here, has only 2 coats of Avon.

So, do you like it??? I think with these brushes, my freehand skills will just get better... :)

Oveall, I am pleased with this product. For $5.96 you cannot get wrong. The only downside, some of the brushes' heads can easily be removed from their handles while using, but this is nothing some superglue can't fix.

If you want to buy this set, you can use the 10% off coupon I have for my readers. Remeber, Born Pretty Store has international free shipping, too...
