Beautiful nails, as a symbol of status, can show one’s good manners and temperament. Nail art, also known as nail design, refers to the process in which one’s nails are sterilized, cleaned, cared, maintained, reshaped and eventually beautified according to one’s requirements; including the shape of one’s hands, nails, skin and the color of clothing. Nail art boasts diverse characteristics.

Enchanting 220 REVLION

Good Morning All!

This time will make a polish review.
I bought some new ones from REVLION, but will dedicate a post only to one. It is lovely purple colour with gold effect, but I am afraid that the camera didn't catch the effect.
 It has thin brush, easy to work with, at least for me. Applied in two coats and sealed with Seche Vitte top coat to prolonged the manis, its gourgeous.


Do not hesitate to get it. You will love it for sure.

Sand & Studs

Hello Beauties!

The other day I got my delivery with different shapes studs. I am not really keen on using them, because it is a bit difficult to attached them but anyway they give nice effect to the nails
 
Wow, lets my creation this time.

 The nail polishes I have used this time are both from Barry M. The sparkle one is texture nails collection - Duchess 333 & the dark one is 341 Cappucino. I have chosed the square shape studs to place on my ring nails only over the dark base.
 
And then sealed the accent nails with fast dry Seche Vitte top coat.

IBX System

Your own longer, more beautiful natural nails! A nail revolution that perfects what nature always intended.

So what is IBX?
 IBX is the first treatment of its kind. This penetrative toughening system works inside the nail instead of sitting on top like traditional nail services. IBX is help for weak and damaged nails. It fuses the layers in the upper portion of the nail plate together.  Applied like polish and penetrate into the nail with heath then cured under UV lamp.

 There are two formulas a nail strengthener for weak or brittle nails and a nail repair for damaged nails or clients who just want extra protection underneath nail enhancements and gel polishes. The strengthener can be worn alone, but the repair formula should be applied in conjunction with the strengthener. The treatment dries under natural light and is then cured with a UV or LED lamp.
Infused with jojoba and avocado oil, the product soaks into your natural nail, conditioning them from the inside out. Once the product is fully absorbed, you can't tell there's anything on your nails!

MY UV GEL & ACRYLIC POWDER SYSTEM

I had several calls last day from people asking if I do proper gel or gel powder. That's why decided to show you the products I use.

I do not use POWDER GEL. Its proper UV  GEL
 Both are builder gel for strong nails.
 And there is my acryli Liquid & Powder System

Peachy Colour Cupcake

Hello again from me!

My second post for today will be dedicated to my new decoration, which I already have for 3 days on my nails ( and getting bored of it).
 
I painted in two coats my nails with the lovely peach colour polish form KIKO Cupcake 649, which I bought recently. Wow every time we go to Westfield, Stratford I visit KIKO store and get something new. This time to be honest even was not thinking of going there but straight after we entered the shopping mall my son said "Look! KIKO store!"
So they have new edition sand polishes CUPCAKE. There are at about 7-8 new shades, but I just bought one




There are orange bits in it, which gives different look of the sand lacquer. Just to remind this type polishes DONT REQUIRE TOP COAT, otherwise the effect will be ruined.







Just on one of my nails I have done lovely flower with acrylic paints and sealed it with Seche Vitte top coat.


 
 

White French & Red Ribon

Hello!

 
In my first post today will show some easy idea for mani. It is really simple but awesome.

I did not paint the whole tips in white. I left a gap in between. Then on the ring nails using acrylic paints I drew red ribbons, which I outlined with black paint.

Every single is sealed with Seche Vitte fast dry top coat.

New 2014 Spring Collection

Hello!

I am so very excited to unveil to everyone the new CND 2014 Spring Collection.
This polish is just brilliant as it went on in one coat. You could use two coats if you wish, by all means, especially the lighter the shades, as they may demand it, but it is not necessary for the darker ones. Great coverage, gets an A+ from me and it is rare when I am happy with coverage as I find many polishes to be so thin that they require coat after coat. Next, I noticed it dried very fast.
 
 
 
After 5 days it remains perfectly flawless, IMPRESSIVE!!
So with out further adieu, here is CND’s spring 2014 Open Road Collection:
 
 
 
These colours are in both the Shellac and Vinylux finishes and are in order, Powder my Nose, Sun Bleached, Desert Poppy, Clay Canyon, Mint Convertible, and Sage Scarf, all pictured above. According to their fabulous website CND Shellac manicures and pedicures provide a mirror shine and a 14-day flawless wear. They can also be used with the CND additives to create even more fabulous nail art/ polish designs. You can make your own custom colours layering these additives over the Shellac polish.
 
 
 

Lovely Pink Nails With Gold Ornament

Hello!

Wow! This is gonna be my last post because its too late and need to have a rest, but I was happy from the nails I made yesterday so |I couldn't wait to show you.
Amazing baby pink colour from shellac as a base, then buffed down a bit and covered with Finish First Gel.
On the accent nails are covered with clear pink shellac. First I made flower with Rose Bud Shellac and then top coated, and then  buffed again, so I could draw using Black gel paint and because I wanted the foil to stick only onto the gel pain not on entire nail.
 Cured the black gel paint in the lamp for 2 minutes and place foil and removed it fast. After cover the entire nail with Finish gel. And all done!
 

Gold Foil Ornament - Samples

There is me again with the new technique I promised to show soon.

Its lovely technique but not famous among most clients and nail techs. Its really popular in Russian republics and Europe. I have learned from one amazing lady who works in my country ( don't know her personally). She gave me some instruction on chat online and after looking for a long time where to order one stroke gel paints from, I managed to get it at the end and to practise a bit.
Last month I did it on my nails but using shellac, so the foil didn't print really well. Anyway it was lovely result.
And now come the pics with the real look, created with First Gel one stroke uv gel paints.
 









 Nails made with the gold ornament are suitable for weddings, graduations, all type of special parties. So do not hesitate to have your nails done with it.

 For all of them I used shellac for a base over the nails. Made with 3d uv gel - they are stunning, shiny. Unfortunately I still don't have this type of gel (hopefully soon). On the last pictures I was supposed to made a diamond instead putting silver glitter, but this is another technique,which will practise these days.
