Hot Pink Feathers

Hey y'all! Today I have a bright and "light" design for ya! See what I did there with the "light"....as a feather! Haha! Anyways, I was just needin some neon in my life right now. I feel like I've been doin a lot of neutral designs or red and green for Christmas and winter. 

So let's get into it: 

I immediately went to look for a neon pink polish and of course had to choose one from the Salon Perfect Neon Pop Collection. I used "Oh Snap," because that name was such an obvious choice for the look I was goin for. 

I just recently got this plate from the Born Pretty Store (BP-75) and it has different feather/bird images on it. I really love the big feathers so I thought it would be a fun design to do in black, over the pink. 

I started by paintin the black polish (Salon Perfect "Oil Slick") onto the image. 

Then usin my creative shop scraper I scraped the polish towards me.

And pick the image up in a rollin motion, with my creative shop stamper. 

There's the image on the nail. 

Always clean your stamper off with a piece of tape so you don't ruin it with acetone.

Then I use a small brush with some acetone to clean up the polish that got on the skin. 

And finish it all off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect. 

And that's it!

Hope y'all enjoyed this! Maybe you need a little pop of color in your life right now too!

Neon Star Stamp

Hey Y'all!

I decided to join in on the nailartjune challenge on instagram and so I needed a neon design for the first day, which I'm late on but hopefully will catch up soon! I have been wantin to use Color Club "Hi-Tech Hibiscus" again, it's so beautiful, so I used it as my base color. And because I can't stop myself from usin Salon Perfect "Mer-Made Of Money," I used it for my stamp. Also Gol, I talked about this stampin plate in my monthly mani faves video and I was gonna link to a video I'd used it in and realized I hadn't done a video with it Gol, so I have now! 

Here's How:

I started with a base of Color Club "Hi-Tech Hibiscus"

I used this plate I got from etsy.

Also usin my creative shop stamper set.

I place the polish onto the stamp. I'm usin Salon Perfect "Mer-Made Of Money."

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

Pick up the image with my stamper in a rollin motion. I know it's slightly hard to see the image because the colors are so light.

Line up your nail and push into the stamper.

And there's the image.

Clean your stamper with a piece of tape.

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

And that's it!

I hope y'all enjoyed this! I ended up really likin this despite the face that it was a random last minute decision. Also in person it's very hard to see the stars without good lightin so that's not my favorite but up close I like them gol.

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! 

Here's the video:

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!

Here's the video:

I just looooooove these sooo much! I dunno how I'm gonna change these up for Recycle Mani Monday! This color by Salon Perfect is just amazin! I need a backup for sure, it's just tooo beautiful!
