Half moon nails

Hi,
Today I'll show you an astral manicure. I started with two coats of
Catrice -It blue my mind and then, using a french manicure tape, I created
the half moon using Stripe Rite -Yellow nail polish. Then I applied some
silver star-rhinestones on my ring finger. I finished with a clear top coat.
What do you think?

It's So Easy nail products

Hi,
Today I want you to show my nail products from It's so easy, which I've just 
received and I like a lot. There are 14 Stripe Rite nail polishes with a thin brush
that is perfect for nail art. I also got 4 boxes of cracked ice: white, gold, silver 
and fuchsia and 2 boxes of glitter powder: gold and white. You can also see 
the Double up nail art brush, which is a brush that is a dotting tool 
on a side and a detail brush on the other. Last but not least, the rhinestone
box with a very useful tool attached. If you enlarge the picture, you will see a 
pink pen in the middle of the box, which helps you pick the rhinestones.

You can find all this online, at It's so Easy Nails. This website not only presents
the company's products, but also is a place for all nail artists to share their
creations using the products. The website was launched this month and it is 
very useful and inspiring, you should visit it.

I will start reviewing the products very soon. Please tell me if there
is something that you would like to see firstly.

I Pledge Allegiance

It's Memorial Day here again in the states and I am continuing on with my tradition of doing a patriotic manicure in honor of those who fought to serve our country.





On the bottom nail bed I painted a base coat of two coats if China Glaze First Mate and then added Yofi glitter in  Caribbean Crush.  I added two coats to the top of my nail in Orly Au Champagne and striped, with a brush, Zoya Sarah for the flag's stripe design.  I used Konad Special Stamping Polish in White and Bundle Monster plate   BM14 for the stars.  I finished with two coats of Seche Vite for the top coat.

Sparkling animal print

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new manicure with m57 Konad plate. I started with two coats 
of a light blue franken  I created using some dark blue and white polish and then I 
stamped the design over it. I used Black stamping polish from Born Pretty for this 
design. Then I created a thin black line diagonally and I filled it with Illamasqua -Scorn. 
Then I created a thin line between the two colours,  using clear nail polish. I stuck
some sparkling silver sequins that come in a small box , called Truth of isis.
I finished with a clear top coat. What do you think?

 Hi,
Today I'll show you very fast-to-do and easy-to-do manicure. I started
with two coats of Illamasqua -Nomad and then I just applied the water
decals and finished with a clear top coat. What do you think?

The water decals I used are from a nail art store called Born Pretty.
They cost $4.73 and you receive 11 different designs. Not to mention 
that they are extremely easy to use: you just put them in water for a few
seconds and then they come off the paper and stick onto your nails.

White and blue manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new manicure I made with Konad m57 and m59 image 
plates. I applied two coats of PURE ICE -French Kiss on the middle finger
 and pinky and Matt Dull White from Born Pretty on the other nails. 
I like this white nail polish very much because the coverage is perfect after the 
first layer. It is also very accessible as the web-site ships internationally for free. 
Next, I stamped the designs with special black and white stamping
polishes. I filled in the leopard print with blue polish, using a dotting tool,
put a blue rhinestone on the index and finally, applied a clear top coat.
What do you think?
