Acrylic heart nails + more more more Canuck nails

Saturday, June 11, 2011 Category : , , , , , , , 8


 A while back I wanted to go all crazy on my nails so I decided to try out another acrylic mold that bornprettystore.com sent me. 

First,l I did my background design, which is a white base (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On) and  silver stripes.  The silver stripes were stamped with the Bundle Monster Image plate #20 (silver is china glaze millenium).  The stripe design from the Bundle Monster image plate is my all time favorite design.  It just always looks awesome.

 By the way, this is the longest my nails have ever been...hehe
So, after a few days I decided to try the acrylic mold bornprettystore.com sent me for review.  

 I put in some acrylic powder, let it dry and popped out the hearts. Then I stuck them to my nail using clear nail polish (Seche vite)..and Bam!

 

 
The 3d hearts ended up bugging me a few days later so I removed them..the acrylic hearts really stayed on my nails and did not budge.

So..the Vancouver Canucks hockey team are in the Stanley cup playoffs...AWESOME!!!  I decorated my office with Canucks posters..hehehe...My supervisor is a Pittsburg Penguins fan and he sits beside me so everday he comes into the office and looks like this  (-__-)



 These are the current nails I am rocking right now:



OPI Jade is the new black
NYC skin tight denim
Sally Hansen White on

Disclaimer - The acrylic mold  was sent to me for review by bornprettystore.com with no payment. My opinion is an honest one.  Everything else including the Bundle Monster image plates were purchased by myself.

 1. I bought my BundleMonster image plates from here.

2. The acrylic mold from Bornprettystore is this one

Sidenote: Did you guys know that Bornprettystore.com is now selling replicate konad image plates for $2.32 a plate?  or you can get a set of 16 plates for $16.32 .  Free shipping too! That is a crazy deal since I usually get my konad image plate for $6.99 + tx + Canada shipping which is usually $6.99. 

I'm getting my hands on a set of these plates to try out and compare with my konad ones. 

I have a 10% off code for bornprettystore.com, it is SWNAIL.  I believe that you get 10% off and a free keychain flashlight.  I don't get paid or get points if you use this code.  It's just a nice code for you guys to use.

Nfu Oh GS 14 + La colors metallic

Friday, January 14, 2011 Category : , , , , , , 23

Here's the swatch for Nfu Oh GS 14 ( part of the Nfu oh glitter series).  It is a jelly black full of holographic glitter.  I used 3 coats.  When the polish dried it was not very gritty so I only needed to apply one coat of top coat to make it smooth.  The wear for this polish was exceptional, it lasted 5 days no chips (this might have been because this is a glitter polish).  The removal was a bit difficult (which is usually the case for all glitter polishes) but left no staining so yay! 


 

Icing has a polish that is similiar to this polish called Blackout but from the pictures that I have seen, the glitter in the icing blackout polish is finer/ smaller than the glitter in Nfu oh Gs 14. I wish I had an Icing blackout to do a comparison for you guys =(

  Alizarineclaws has a really great comparison for black polishes + holographic glitter polishes so go check it out if you can't purchase the Nfu Oh GS 14

I stamped my ring finger with Bundle monster plate 21+ china glaze millennium

The next color I have is from the LA colors color craze metallic collection.  This is a metallic green with no name, there is a number etched on the glass that is different from the other color crazes I have, the number is either 81 or 18.
This is a metallic polish that leaves no brush strokes and has glass flecks of green in it. It is a very pretty color that required only 2 coats.
I decided to add some fimo flowers from a fimo cane that I got from Bornprettystore.com
At first it was a bit difficult to cut thin slices off the cane but I think I've gotten the hang of it now.
*my middle finger chipped =(
As pretty as this polish was...it was a Nightmare to remove!!!!!!
Look at my fingers!! argh!!! Look at the staining!!! I used Nubar's Nu nails as a base but the polish still stained. Next time..if I ever use this polish again I think I will use a base coat + a top coat.

So....Do you guys have any suggestions on how to clean up my nails/ fingers? I used nail polish remover with acetone..and well..the staining is still just as bad.  argh!  I think im okay with the nail being stained but the skin around my nails are green too! =(

once again.. arGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
