BornPretty nail art Powder, Glitter & Flakies!

Hello friends! It’s the first week of 2018 and I’m still riding the nail art Powder, Glitter and Flakie train! I think they’re so fun and so easy to use. In today’s post I’ve got one of each to share, these are from BornPretty!

First up.... a black holo glitter. Item #38603

To easily apply loose glitter as thin as possible, I like to use a clear stamper that I’ve dedicated to using only for glitter application use. I’m sure the stamper head will eventually wear down from rubbing glitter and flakies onto it.

So! First I opened the glitter pot and got my stamper. Applied some liquid latex for easy clean up. Then to achieve this look I rubbed a small amount of glitter onto the stamper.

Next I applied a thin coat of sticky base coat over my dry base of Glisten & Glow Little Black Dress. I wait around 10 seconds to allow the sticky base coat to become tacky. Then I press my nail into the stamper.

Remove the latex and apply a coat or two of top coat!

Next up is the BornPretty Holo flakies! Item #39677

I love using the stamper and sticky base coat method! I think these holo flakies would look amazing over a silver base.

Last but not least, here’s a quick swatch of the BornPretty Unicorn Pigment Item #39940 over a base of black and white soak off gel polish, my preferred base for pigments/powders.

Once my base colors were cured, I applied a coat of MadamGlam no wipe top coat and cured that for 30 seconds. Using a sponge tip eyeshadow applicator I buffed the pigment on. As you can see over the Black gel it gives off an awesome beetle effect. And over the White it gives the pastel unicorn vibe. I really love both and I bet this would great over a ton of other colors as well.

Beauty Bigbang Holographic Chameleon Powder & Lily Angel No Wipe Topcoat

Hi friends! I’m back with 2 Beauty Bigbang products to share with you! In this post I have swatches of one the Holographic Chameleon powders and I can’t wait to show you how beautiful it is! To go along with the powder I also tried the Lily No Wipe gel top coat. If you’re using your chrome powders over a gel polish base a no wipe top coat is the way to go! The holo chameleon powder comes in 12 different shades! I chose one that was giving me fall vibes. Lets take a look!

Beauty Bigbang Holographic Chameleon Powder

For this mani I’ve taken two thin coats of a black soak off gel over a completely dry coat of UNT Ready for take off peel off base coat. This makes gel swatching a breeze. Once cured I applied a thin coat of the Lily Angel no wipe top coat and cured it under an led lamp for 60 seconds. (On the label of mine they have the cure times switched, under an led mine was cured perfectly in just 60 seconds, not 3 minutes which I assume is actually the UV cure time.) Then I applied a small amount of the Holo Chameleon powder and rubbed it in with a sponge eyeshadow applicator. I applied one more coat of Lily Angel no wipe top coat, washed, dried and moisturized my hands. The end result is gorgeous! I can’t get over this finish.
