Born Pretty Review/Demo

Hey Y'all!

Today I have a review and demo of a new stampin plate from Born Pretty Store! 

Here's the design I did with it!

Let's get into the demo:

I started with each nail a different color from the Salon Perfect Neon Pop Collection.

This is the plate. It's the brand QA Q girl from Born Pretty Store. 

It has apples and flowwers and heart beats and cross hatching. I used the cross hatching design. It' $1.99 right now. 

Here's the link:http://www.bornprettystore.com/apple-grid-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-pattern-qgirl-p-19341.html

I start by puttin black polish onto the image. I used a no name black pumpkin polish. 

Then used my Creative Shop Scraper to scrape the polish towards me.

and pick the image up with my creative shop stamper. 

Line it up with my nail and push my nail into the stamper to transfer the image. It looks like the stamp didn't work too good, but it's not the plates fault, I was tryin to stamp with my swamp cooler on because it was 100 degrees yesterday! You can see the other nails worked pretty well.

Then I repeat the stamp again and 

Line up the stamp just off center of the first one to give it a closer cross hatch.

Clean up the stamper with a piece of tape.

I use my small brush and acetone to cleanup any polish on the skin.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

I love the way this mani looks and I'm really happy with the new plate! It's got a nice variety of designs and I'm excited to use the apples when fall rolls around! The plate was really good, I just had a bit of trouble because I had my cooler on and it was dryin the polish quite quickly. 

I hope y'all enjoyed this and if ya get inspired by me use the tag #MagsyInspired on instagram so I can see!

Neon Summer Leopard Print

Hey Y'all!

Today I have a super simple leopard print design but in a hot neon color! 

I did a similar design to this about 2 years ago with pink but this time I went with a hot neon teal! 

Even though this design is so simple, I just love the way it looks because of the white leopard spots. The white completely pops against the teal and makes it a stand out design!

Here's How:

I started with a neon teal base called "Mer-Made Of Money" by Salon Perfect.

Then with a dottin tool and some white polish (Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube") I placed random white dots or blobs, for the leopard print.

Next I outlined the white dots with a black nail art liner called "Black Ink" by Salon Perfect. I just created "c" shapes around the dots not completely outlinin them. 

It'll look like this when done.

To finish it off I went in with the dottin tool and the black polish and added dots randomly around the nail fillin in bare spots.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

and that's it!

Fiery Watermarble

Hey Y'all! 

Today I have a little fire for ya! 

This was a random design I decided to do and I kinda like it! 

Here's how:

I started with a coat of Orly "Push The Limit" and taped my finger. You'll need a cup of room temp water. Mine is just tap water that I let out to sit while I get everythin else ready.

Then I start buildin my bullseye. I started with Orly "Fireball," Dare To Wear "Lemon Drop," and Orly "Push The Limit."

That's my full bullseye. The red wouldn't let anythin spread too far but it's big enough for one nail.

With my needle I drew from the middle to the side on both sides.

Then from the bottom of the cup to the top. just makin petal shapes in one direction. 

Next I drew back down each petal in a wiggly motion to create a flame like design.

Pick the part of the design you want and dunk your nail into it.

Use a qtip to clean up the entire surface of the water before pullin your nail out.

Remove the tape and use a small brush with acetone to cleanup the excess polish on the skin.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

Here's the video:

I hope y'all enjoyed this one! I really like the way my middle nail turned out gol. I wish more of the nails had turned out like it, but overall I still like this design.

Recycle Mani Monday: Grunge

Hey Y'all!

I have a fun new series I'm startin today, called "Recycle Mani Monday!"

Basically every Monday I'm goin to recycle my weekend manicure instead of startin over with a whole new design. So by recycle I mean I'm just goin to add onto my previous mani to create a new one. I thought it would be really fun to make it a new series for my youtube and instagram! 

So speakin of that, I'm makin it a hash tag as well! 

If you'd like to join in here's all you have to do:

Post your recycled mani to instagram every Monday

And hashtag it #RecycleManiMonday

Then every Tuesday I will feature some of my favorites from the hashtag! 

Here's my recycle for this week!

I went with a grunge graffiti look.

Here's How:

I started with my previous mani from Sunday. 

Then I took black acrylic paint and dabbed it onto a scrunched up piece of saran wrap. I dabbed some of the paint onto a paper towel to remove excess amounts.

Next just sponge it onto your nail.

This is how mine looked after the black. 

Then I recycled my saran wrap by turnin it inside out, so the black was inside now and I had a clean surface on the outside.

And I repeated the spongin with a blue acrylic paint.

I used my small brush and acetone to clean up any excess paint on the skin.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it! You have a brand new recycled mani in a matter of minutes!

Here's the video:
