Chrome effect powder

Do you remember my Banggood review post from here, when I mentioned that I ordered a chrome effect powder but maybe it got lost and I didn't received it, well, surprise, it finally arrived and today I am going to show you how it works. It became a big hit to use pigments with which you can achieve perfect mirror-like chrome effects, so I was very curious if the one provided by Banggood works the same way!

On the site you can find several colors from this Magic Mirror Chrome Effect Metallic Powder, but I choose the silver one to test it. The quantity of the chrome powder is 2g put in a small black bottle, which seems not much first, but thanks to the sponge tool that I got with it, application was easy and you can put exactly the needed amount and this way you save a lot of powder.

These kind of pigments work just on gel nails/UV nail polishes. You prepare your nails, add a layer of base coat, cure, than choose any color gel nails polish and apply in two coats if necessary (I used white from Cupio), cure and than with the help of the sponge or a silicone tool or even a glove apply with pressure and rub the powder in the sticky surface until it's perfectly smooth. Clean any excess product from around the nails using a nail brush and after it use a top coat and cure. Remove the stick layer and you have a shiny manicure. 

Now my opinion about the pigment, as you can see in the images I didn't obtained that mirror like effect that I wished, the nail surface has a lot of shimmers and a simple chrome effect that you can obtain with any regular shimmer nail polish. But all in all the powder looks good on the nails and it resists under just one layer of top coat. I have it on my nails from more than a week and it looks exactly like the first day I put it on.

Many of you already asked me if this pigment works on regular nail polish. As I mentioned before, unfortunately no. I tested for you ladies, by painting a black regular nail polish on a nail wheel and after a few minutes of drying I added the powder. Well, you can see the effect of it in the pictures on the right side. The left side is the powders effect on a dark UV nail polish without a top coat on it. Here the mirror effect is much stronger, but adding the top coat changes everything, the shimmer appears. 

If you like this product you can find it HERE and many other pretty colors and a lot of nail art products at reasonable prices. Just check the Banggood site.  

Did you ever used such kind of pigments? What is your experience with it?

Elegant nails with Catrice

Hello ladies. Between the daily chores, work and stress that I have laity, I had the time to make a quick mani. I have a lot of unused nail polishes and I picked this time Catrice - Mint The Gap from my stash. I combined it with black and some pretty white water-decals.

Mint the Gap is a silver toned nail polish with a slight mint shade. Unfortunately the mint shade is not properly reflected on the nails, though I like how it looks. The polish is extremely sheer, in one coat I though - OMG this will be a never ending story - but in three coats I obtained a quite good coverage.

I made the pictures in natural light conditions and I really loved the shimmers I saw in Mint the Gap. Do you know this nail polish? If yes, how do you like it?

Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Beautiful Banggood products

Hello lovely ladies

Of course again I am going to start my post with apologizes, because I didn't posted for a while and I didn't had any time to visit and comment on your blogs. I won't go in details, because it is my personal life and I don't want to bore anyone of you. Today, I have a review for some beautiful Banggood products I received laity. If you remember I made a wishlist, which you can read here, and from that list I ordered a shirt, some dream-catcher necklace and earring set and a mirror chrome effect nail powder. Unfortunately the chrome powder didn't arrived yet, and I think it won't arrive anymore :(  But I am going to show you the other two pretty products today.

I am going to start with the CASUAL CHIFFON BACKLESS BLOUSE. I wished a white one but it was not on stock and this is why I received a black one. The top has an interesting cut out back, which is very stylish and eye catching in my opinion. This blouse is perfect for some casual outfits, it is very comfortable, made of chiffon. I loved it and wore it on a hot weekend day! If you like it just check the Banggood site out, because this blouse has a very reasonable price. You can find it HERE. 

The second product is the BOHEMIAN JEWELRY SET. In fact it is a dream-catcher necklace and earring with a very pretty turquoise stone in them. This stone inspired me to do a nail art. I didn't use the hair spay technique, I just used my acrylics and draw some irregular lines on my nails and as an accent I put on a dream-catcher water decal. If you like the jewelry set, you can find it HERE in silver and in gold too, and you can look up of  Banggood jewelry offers, because they are a lot of pretty ones on the site!

On the 8th September Banggood celebrates it's 10th anniversary. 

All products will be on HOT SALE prices with substantial discounts. 

Don't miss it, I certainly wont :))

Now tell, me how do you like the blouse and jewelry set? 
How about my nail art? 
Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
