Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review - Snoopy Nail Art

Happy Friday! Today I have another Born Pretty Store product review with a nail art to go with it. The images on the plate are all so adorable! But I'm biased, cause I love Snoopy. I have tried almost all of them, and they picked up really nicely using my konad hard stamper. 

The background for my stamping is a gradient using piCture pOlish Sky, OPI Rumple's Wiggin, and Orly Snowcone. The dots on my thumb, index, and pinkie are OPI Sparrow Me The Drama. I made snoopy decals using Mundo de Unas Black and filled them with Cirque Carpe Diem. The hearts are stamped with Mundo de Unas Mexican Pink.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find this plate on their site anymore to link it for you, but they have a great selection of stamping plates to choose from, all with affordable prices! You can check out their plates selection here. You can also get 10% off your purchase for regular priced items using my code NVG10.

Do you love Snoopy? I think I'll be keeping this mani for the weekend :)

Orly Glowstick (And Some Nail Art)

Hi guys!

Summer doesn't feel complete without some in-your-face neon nails, and I have just the perfect polish for it! Orly Glowstick. What an appropriate name for this polish!

As most of neon polish does, this tend to be a bit streaky to wear on its own, and I just don't feel like dealing with streaky polish. So I layered it over white polish. I used 2 thin coats and it looks perfect! Well, aside for the rubbery finish, but that an easy fix, apply top coat, and voila! I have a glossy neon mani.

As expected, my camera freaked out a bit. It's a bit more brighter in person, and the yellow is like highlighter yellow to me.

And then (of course) I added a little bit of nail art. I used Bundle monster BM-319 from 2012  collection set, and stamped with Zoya Hazel. I think of it like a filter for the brightness, although it doesn't really help much, but that's a good thing I guess :p

All my polishes and stamping plate I used here were purchased from Nail Polish Canada. They are currently offering free shipping with no minimum to anywhere in Canada. Go check them out! :)

What do you think of the stamping combo I used? The design looks subtle, but I personally love it!

Sparkling Chevron Mani

Hello :)

I posted on my facebook yesterday that I couldn't do Watermarble Wednesday, cause I'm away from home, and I only bring a few polishes with me. I put on China Glaze Aquadelic last night and thought I'm gonna do a chevron mani with some of the polishes I have with me. 

Polishes used here are China Glaze Aquadelic, a bright aqua blue creme, great formula, opaque in 2 coats and has a good shine finish. The first chevron layer is OPI Ski Teal We Drop, this is one of my first OPI. It is an awesome dark teal, great formula, almost a one coater, which means it's also good for stamping, another plus for me ;). And lastly, the glitter.. can you guess? I've given a clue on the post title. It's Orly Sparkling Garbage! I love the polish as much as I love the name, I think it's funny, lol. I don't think my pics give this glitter enough justice, it's SO sparkly and beautiful in person.

I hope you enjoyed this post. I won't be doing much nail art until next week, but I have some polishes I want to show you, they're pretty special. Stay tuned ;)
