Holographic foils form the Born Pretty Store

I didn't used for a while nail foils and when I saw the holo foils on the Born Pretty Store I was so intrigued and amazed by it that I had to try them. I choose the geometric patterned ones but on the site you can find 8 different kind of foils and they are all amazing!

The foil is quite long and it contains a lot of small and big geometric shapes on it, which is good because the application can be tricky and you can have fail attempts. The big shapes are thought for longer nails, because as you can see bellow in my first mani the pattern does not look exactly like on the foil. For a proper application you will need a foil glue, if you use regular nail polish and on UV nails, which have the inhibition layer you won't need the glue. 

I had some problems until I released which one is the side that must be applied on the nails, but besides that application is quite easy, after the nail glue dries and becomes translucent you put the foil on it and rub the surface with pressure until the foil transfers completely on the nails. As you can see in the pictures on some places the foil did not transferred well enough, but all in all I am pleased with the result. I had no special finish for nail foils but I used Sally Hanssen's Double Duty and everything worked fantastic. 

All in all I liked the result, the holo effect looks very nice on the nails, I need more practice when it comes to a perfect application, but as I mentioned I am very pleased with the product.

Glitter as snow

I continue reviewing some products I received last year and here is a beautiful white silver glitter powder from the Beauty Bigbang site. I am pretty sure many of you will like it a lot because it looks fantastic on the nails. The product came in a small, sealed plastic bag, which is awful because it is extremely hard to take out all the fine glitter particles. 

I painted with a white UV soak-off nail polish my nails as a base for the glitter. After curing it I applied the finish and on it, I scattered the glitter powder and cured it again. This way I obtained that beautiful glitter dust effect which looks like a sparkly snow. I combined it with a red nail polish and a girly water decal.

I think this glitter is very beautiful and elegant it does feel a little pit rough on the nails but it is not annoying at all. The amount of the powder is not much, I definitely going to need more. If you like the glitter powder you can find it HERE and just use the bellow seen discount code for any of your purchase from the Beauty Bigbang site.

Chrome pigment from Beauty Bigbang

I like very much to try out different kind of pigments and see the effect of them on the nails. I really wanted this chrome like one and I received it for review from the Beauty Bigbang site. I used it on a black UV soak-off nail polish to obtain that wonderful chrome effect. The MAGIC ROSE GOLD CHROME NAIL POWDER comes with a make-up brush together but I prefer to apply it with a silicone head tool and rub it on the sticky surface with light pressure for a fantastic finish. It it very important in this case to have a flawless base because after applying the pigment any bump or imperfection is very visible.

I like to use powder pigments because they are versatile, depending on what kind of color base it is applied. As I mentioned above I put it on a black base, but if you prefer a pink result of this powder you can apply it on white or red. 

Even if I liked this pigment on my nails just on it's own, I couldn't resist to double stamp two of my nails with a plaid pattern. I think this design is perfect for this season. I made the double stamping with a white and a gold regular nail polish. 

I don't  know about you but I love, love the result and I am anxious to try the pigment on other base colors too. If you like this powder you can find it HERE and you're welcome to use my bellow seen discount code for any of your purchase from the Beauty Bigbang site.
