Essence Colour & Go – Walk Of Fame (34) & Born Pretty Store BP-11

Posted on September 19, 2016 by admin

Sharing a swatch of Essence Walk of Fame. I purchased this polish at Ulta. Walk of Fame is a purple gray cream polish that depending on the light might even look brown. I applied two coats. I had no issues with the formula. I applied Seche Vite top coat.

I purchased from Born Pretty Store stamping plate BP-11. I decided to use this plate stamping with Pure Ice Silver Mercedes. Images transferred without any issues. Great plate to have to create those watermarble designs.

Walk of Fame is great color to have in your stash for fall and if you are a fan of watermarble designs then plate BP-11 is for you.

Beauty Tips for Women: Smooshy Nail Technique

Posted on July 8, 2016 by admin

First time trying the smooshy nail technique from Nailstamp4fun.

The products used:
Sinful Shine – Devious
Sinful Shine – Break Away
Pure Ice – Silver Mercedes
Bundle Monster Poli-Peel
Born Pretty BP-L008
White Polish

For the smooshy nail technique you place dots of the polish on paper and with your stamper you press down then transfer to the nail. A very easy method and you get to see what the polish mixture looks like before applying it to your nails. You can also place the polish drops on the stamper then apply to your nails. I found this method harder to control.

I decided to stamp them using a mix of images off of the Born Pretty plate BP-L008 using Silver Mercedes.

This did not work at all. With my small nails and the thickness of the images, the smooshy nail polish was lost underneath.

I definitely want to try this technique again because I found it fun and easy.

Beauty Tips for Women: Marilyn Monroe Manicure

Posted on May 8, 2015 by admin

Enjoying my Mother’s Day weekend with a Marilyn Monroe movie binge, which inspired my manicure.

The polish I used for this manicure are:
China Glaze – Love Letters
Sally Hansen – Smoky
Pure Ice – Silver Mercedes
Rica – Blackout
HongNuo – Glitter in silver
Seche Vite

The Marilyn Monroe image and the swirling image are from Born Pretty plate BP-15. I stamped them using Rica Blackout.

I wanted to do a black and silver color combination. A play on the simple sexy little black dress Marilyn Monroe wore while playing ukulele in Some Like It Hot. The silver is for diamonds of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds.
