Classy Lace

Hey Y'all! 
Today I've got a gorgeous classy lace design. 
It's featurin my favorite Cuccio polish "Bali Bliss!" This polish is just beyond gorgeous and it's so hard to capture it's true essence on camera. You really have to see it in person. It has so much dimension and always looks glassy and perfect!

Here's how:
Start with the perfect base of Cuccio "Bali Bliss."

I'm usin this bundle Monster plate 323 with the lace design.

Start by coverin the image with a white polish, Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube."

Then scrape the polish towards me with my creative shop scraper.

Pick up the image with a rollin motion on my creative shop stamper.

Then I line up my nail to the image and press into the stamper.

Clean your stamper with a piece of tape.

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any excess polish on the skin. 

Finish off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And That's It!




Ugh I just love this look so much! I think I might wear it all weekend because I can't bear to take it off!
I hope y'all love it just as much!

Born Pretty Review: Lace Stickers

Hey Y'all!
Another Born Pretty Store review for ya! I had quite a few products this time so I wanted to get right through em!
Today we have some lace nail stickers. 

I was too in love with Orly Color Blast "Enchanted Rose" that I decided to use it as my base again! I like the look of the black with the pink. 

Here's the Review/Demo:
Here is what the stickers look like. Just a small sheet. 
Here's the link to purchase: 
10% off code: ASQW10

I used the skinny strips first and I cut them down to fit my nails. 

I just placed the sticker right onto my nail and pressed it down. These are super sticky so make sure you place them correctly because they don't come back up without messing up your base. 

I used scissors to cut the ends of the stickers off 

and curled them under my nails.

Then I used the bigger strips on my middle nails and thumbs. I place it on the sticker sheet like this so I don't touch the sticky side too much before placin it on my nail.

I placed it on my nail like this usin the sticker sheet as my guide

and cut it straight across to separate the strip.

Then cut the tips off like the rest of the nails

It was a little difficult to do this but I used my small brush and acetone to remove the excess sticker at the cuticle. I had to brush it quite roughly to get it come off. 

Then finished it all off with my top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

That's what it looks like up close. It took 3 coats of top coat before it would fully lay down and stay on my nail. 

And that's it!
Here's the video:




So overall I liked the look of these but again they were a pain to use. The small strips were much easier to use but they all still crinkled up on the sides. The tips never fully laid down, I had a couple nails peel up the next day. I really do like the look but they just aren't practical enough for me.
