Tribal NailArt using Born Pretty BP-X05

Today I'll be reviewing the newly released Born pretty Store square plate BP-X05 (item #29978; link)

Base: Maybelline porcelain party, Sally hansen Black heart,

Stamping polish: Essence Stampy black; Accent: Mdu Neon yellow, Mdu Neon Pink (middle finger)

Decals filled with Models won Sun hat and MO Bikini

BP-X05  (item #29978; link) is part of their newly released plate this year. It has tribal type patterns in big sizes which will cover long and broad nails completely. The patterns stamp crisp and clear. I like this plate as you can also fill in colours and make very colourful decals like I did. 

I like these type patterns that are spaced out a bit and the base also show through. As with always I find born pretty plates good in quality and this comes with a thick sticker backing. Images are well etched and come out good.

This plate retails for $1.99 which is fairly nice and affordable price.

These are the stamping decals I made using this plate.

Leopard Print Nails : inspired by shopping from Limeroad.com

I was browsing for some nail stuff online as usual...just surfing around here and there and came across this super cute Hello Kitty Leopard print nail decals on an online shopping website called Limeroad.com

I did a small haul from that website and did a mani inspired from one of the items:

Base: China Glaze White Out

Sponged on some viviana Moody Concoction

Dotted with OPI you dont know Jacques..then I rubbed some out with a brush dipped in acetone to make the spots faded

Black dots were made by Sally Hansen Black heart

Now see the inspiration behind these nails:

Leopard Print Sling bag : This is a long belt cotton-Canvas material sling bag with lobster clasp hook. I like how this sling is really convenient to carry some stuff when you need more than just a wallet. A small handy water bottle and a pair of sunglasses and easily fit in along with wallet and some keys. The material is cotton-canvas as mentioned earlier and the finishing is quite neat. It is lined with polyester on the inner side and seems will hold well against normal wear and tear. Priced at Rs.300/- (decently priced too). Size: length x width x height (inches) : 8.5 x 3 x 8

And I got these cute Hello kitty decals in leopard print to go with my look. Cant wait to try these on!

Aren't they so cute? I was surprised to find that this online shopping website had some really cool options for these kinds of nail decals! (link here) I havent seen this kind of variety on other sites much and if you like to go for an easy fuss free manicure you should definitely check these out.

Regarding delivery: Both these items seem to have been dispatched from different places. While I placed my order on 18th April, I got the bag delivered on 21st Apr and the nail stickers were delivered on 25th Apr. This wasn't urgent for me and I was happy to wait but if you are planning your look for a certain pre-set date then you would do good to order by keeping a few days spare. 

I certainly had a good experience shopping online with limeroad.com and look forward to trying out some clothes and accessories from there too.

Mattened Glitter Nails

Pinterest can get sooo addictive!

I had seen a mani on pinterest with matt glitter nails..but I couldnt figure out what polishes were used.

You can see the pin here and my pin board here

I attempted to do it with what I had. I knew I wanted duo-chromy glitter.

I painted the black base with Sally Hansen 

Made glitter gradient with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuschia.

KC Holo Fuschia glows from yellow-green to pink-red. I've tried to capture the glitter from both ends of the spectrum. See how it starts from yellow and is amber-red at the tips.

How to do a glitter gradient? I get this search term a lot..so here's how:

For a glitter gradient: I added a single coat of KC all over the nail. Allow a few mins to dry.

Next dabbed some KC at halfway down the nail. Again allow a few mins to dry.

Now just dab again using the glitter polish at the tips.

I added the Inglot Matt top coat after a day as I liked the glistening nails. However I like the matt version better.

It looked so much pretty in real! like twinkling lights. 

You have to matt-en some glitter to see what I mean. It looks absolutely gorgeous!! 

Have you tried to matt-en glitter?
