Born Pretty Store Review/Demo: Skull Stamp

Hey Y'all!

I've got another stampin plate from Born Pretty Store to review! This one is a punk style and I'll be usin the skull design. 

Here's How:

I started with Zoya "Blaze"

The Plate I'm reviewin is BP-39 and the skull image. 

http://www.bornprettystore.com/punk-style-skull-patterns-nail-stamping-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp39-p-18782.html

I started with a gold color, Confetti "Debutante" and placed it onto the plate.

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

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

Line up your nail and push into the image.

and there it is on the nail.

 I use a piece of tape to clean the excess polish off my stamper.

Then I used black on the same image. I used Sephora Formula X "Dark Matter."

Did the same thing, put the polish on the plate, scrape the polish towards me and pick up the image in a rollin motion.

Line up your nail and push into the stamper. The black one went onto both my pinkies.

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

and there it is!

Here's How:

Started with my previous manicure as my base. 

I used chevron nail vinyls from 

http://www.nailvinyls.com

Use tweezers to peel one sticker up 

and place it down the center of your nail. 

Then usin Nyx Girl "103" navy blue I painted over 1 half of my nail.

With red, Zoya "Hayley," I painted over the other half of my nail.

Immediately remove the nail vinyl with tweezers before the polish dries.

Then I clean up with my small brush and acetone. 

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

And that's it!

Mini Leopard Print

Hey Y'all!

Don't ask me why, but the other day I got it in my head that I needed some mini leopard print in my life. So I set out to cover all 10 fingernails in it! It took me an hour! I painted them in bed while catchin up on Youtube videos so the time passed quickly, but it did take forever! That bein said I absolutely LOVE them! 

I also painted the bottoms red to add that Louboutin look! 

Here's How:

Start with a nude base. I used Avon "Barely There."

Then with a teeny tiny dotting tool or toothpick and some black acrylic paint begin drawin tiny c's all over your nail.

Keep drawin them randomly around the nail. I like to start at the cuticle and add some dots every now and then.

Keep goin til it looks like this.

Then with a gold polish, Confetti "Debutante," and the same dotting tool, I added dots in the middle of all the open c's. 

Til it looks like this.

With a small brush and acetone cleanup any excess paint on the skin.

Then on the bottom of my nails I took a red polish and gave them that Louboutin look. I used Zoya "Haley."

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 don't know if I've ever really done a video showin a leopard print so it was fun to do that while also givin it a step up! 

I really love the way these turned out! Even though it took awhile to do these, it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't do it again! I just needed somethin different right now and this was perfect!

Mani Swamp with Lacquerdmama

Hey Y'all!

Today I have a mani swamp with Jen (@Lacqueredmama)! 

I have loved gettin to know her recently and lovin all her designs, I just had to ask her to swamp with me! I went stalkin her page for my favorite design and I found her refreshin floral mani! Now that it's spring I thought it was perfect! 

Here's Jen's 

and here's my recreation.

Here's how I recreated it:

I started with a nude base color, Zoya "Charlott."

Then I used acrylic paints for the rest of the design. I started with yellow and a striper brush and paint half a yellow flower on the side of the nail. Just quick stripes across the nail to make "petals."

Next is the orange flower. this flower is more precise with it's petals. I just draw a teardrop kind of shape until I'm happy with the look.

Then the red flower comes down from the top of the nail. This one is a little more precise as well.

Next I mixed the yellow and orange paints to get a lighter orange.

Also the light brown with the yellow to make a darker yellow.

I took the lighter orange and randomly and quickly stripped it into the orange flower to add dimension.

Then I added the dark yellow to the middle of the yellow flower.

On the red flower I added orange and 

yellow in the center of the flower.

Add a little more red to blend it.

Then I used a dark brown polish, Pure Ice "Scandal," to make the center of all the flowers.

and added the light brown in the center of that.

Next I added a few green leaves 

and dots in the empty spaces of the nail.

The last step is to add 3 green dots on the pinky and pointer. 

I use my small brush and acetone to cleanup any excess paint 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 dunno if I've ever done a tutorial for flowers! It was fun to do a bit of paintin! And I love this design by Jen! She's really awesome and a gorgeous, sweet woman! Y'all need to go check her out and see what design of mine she picked for the swap! 

Happy Spring!
