Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 32. Wrapping paper or ornaments
Hello, hello! ^_^
We've almost reached the end of our Marathon, I can see the finish line, and I'm kinda sad about it. I'm glad that I managed to participate each week and didn't skip any of the challenges and this week is no exception. Mihaela asked us to ornate our nails with ornaments or a wrapping paper pattern and here is my idea:

Winter Magic
It's the day before Christmas and I wanted to mark the day with a winter themed manicure that also has a little magic! ^_^
It's been a full week for me, but a very lovely one. I met with friends, spent time with the people that matter to me and, to top it all, I received this lovely gift from my Secret Santa, Alina from http://justanangel.net. :D
Since the gift was so awesome and everything was chosen to suit my tastes, I couldn't wait to try my new "toys". ^_^ Here is the first result:

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 31. Drip Nails
Are you ready for some Christmas themed nails? :D
Today we have a new new theme, this time "blame" Mihaela for the idea: drip nails! I've never tried this technique (properly) before, but I haven't done it today, either, haha! As usual, I adapted the theme to my preferences, and here you go... a dalmatian celebrating Christmas:

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 29. Favorite Song
Hello, hello!
December is the first month of Winter and this, along with Mada's idea are what inspired me to do this manicure. :D
The song I chose is one of my all-time favorite songs: Frozen by Celldweller:
Fist time I heard this song was in 2008 and I fell in love with it instantly. It's so dark and mysterious and sexy! Needless to say, I know the lyrics by heart, he he.

Born Pretty Store - Stamping Plate, Stamper and Stamping Polish Review
Hello, everyone!
Today I made a review for three products from Born Pretty Store, my little "stamping kit" as I got to call it. :D
To be honest, it's all you need to get started with stamping, something that I'm rather new at, as well. The items are: the BP-03 stamping plate (which I've wanted since forever!), Kand - special nail polish for stamping and the stamper I got from Oana for my b'day.
As with the other BPS stamping plates that I own ( you can see the review here) it was super easy to use. The pattern transferred perfectly onto the stamper and then onto my nail. Cleaning it was very easy, as well, and I was impressed by how easy stamping can be with a high-quality plate.

This is the plate I've wanted the most from all the BPS stamping plates. It's so lovely! I like the roses, the cats, and, most of all, the swirly design. <3
The plate is listed under the name: Black Cat & Rose Theme Nail Art Stamp Template Image Plate and you can buy it for $2.24 on www.bornprettystore.com.
The first time I tried stamping I used some think nail polishes, which were recommended to me by others. They worked fine so I thought that a good stamping polish must be a little thicker than regular polish. When I opened this bottle I noticed that the polish was very liquid and I thought to myself - is this any good?
I pushed it aside for a while but decided to try it in the end. I couldn't have been more wrong about it! Even though the consistency is thin, the polish is highly pigmented and great for stamping!
This nail polish is, indeed, the best I've tried for stamping, so far, but I also found something about it that I did not like as much - it stains the skin. My fingers were blue after I used it and acetone could not remove it at all. Only after I had washed my hands for 3-4 times the color disappeared.
Still, I will use it again, and you can find it on the website under the name: 10ml High Quality Nail Art Template Stamping Polish Varnish, for $3.35.
Ok, so, I have nothing to say about this stamper but "WOW"! It's really great! It has two gummy sides, a big white one - very soft and perfect for full nail patterns, and a tiny, rubbery one - ideal for tiny designs.
This made stamping so much fun! It's easy to use, easy to clean and gets the pattern from the stamping plate and onto the nail perfectly. I'm honestly considering buying a few more, just in case, haha!
You can find it on the website, in the Nail Art section, under this name: 3Pcs/Set Hot-sell Double Sided Stamping Nail Art Stamper & Scraper and for only $2.94. I highly recommend you buy it!
If you're interested in buying any of these items, or, anything else related to nail art (and more), please visit the website at www.bornprettystore.com and fill your cart with joy and items! Shipping is free, worldwide! ^_^
Also, don't forget! If you use this code: QYL91, you get 10% off for your purchase!

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 26. One Stroke
Two posts in one day??? OMG! Is it Christmas?
Meh, no, not yet... Just me running late...
As I previously said (in the other blog post) both manicures are Teo's suggestions. :D
I finally came around to doing a manicure using the one-stroke technique and my conclusion is: it's not even that hard to paint! (using the correct brush, of course). ^_^

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 25. Inspired by a movie
Hello, hello!
This week you get a double portion of nail art from me since I missed last week's challenge. My reasons were good, I promise.
First of all, I went home to see my pets and parents over the weekend, so I didn't have time to do my nails and second, it was pretty much my "Birthday week" so I didn't even have time to breathe. ^_^
But, enough with the excuses. This week I'm going to show you two manicures which were suggested by Teo: movie & one-stroke.
Here is my movie-inspired manicure:

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 24.French
Hello!
How was your week so far?
Mine was super busy. I had a lot to do and so little time! But I couldn't skip the nail art marathon so here's this week's theme: French, Andreia's idea.
I stuck to the classic type of french, but I made it colorful and, since I wore it the week before Halloween, of course, it was Halloween themed.

Halloween Nails
Boo!
Are you ready for another dose of spooky nails? >:)
This time I'm going to show you my "Bloody Mummies" with glow-in-the-dark eyes, the manicure I'm going to wear on my nails tonight, as well. Even though I have one more Halloween manicure in store for you, which will be presented on the blog tomorrow, this is the most special one to me.

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 23.Tribal Print
Greetings, fellow nail art lovers!
This week I don't want to bore you with words so my descriptions will be short. I have a spooky Halloween-themed with tribal influences to show you, my nails being based on Deyutza's first proposal for the marathon: tribal print.

Nail Art Marathon - 21.Inspired by your favorite game
Hello nail art lovers!
This week the blogs will be filled with cute characters, pretty colors and, possibly, nostalgia, since Andreea suggested we represent our favorite games on our nails. ^_^
My all time favorite game is Sims (2 & 4) got me hooked, but besides the plum-bob and the logo, I did not know what to do on my nails so I searched for another game. My second option was the board-game named "Cluedo" but that is a little too scary to represent on my nails before Halloween, so I thought to myself, "what did I like playing with as a child?". The answer was "Barbie dolls, of course" but I have done Barbie themed nails a while back so I needed something new. And then it hit me: LEGO! :D
I've seen interpretations for LEGO nails on other blogs before and I always thought that the idea was pretty cute so I went with it. Here is my interpretation for "LEGO nails":

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 20. Dotted Manicure
If you think you have a ophthalmic problem and see dots everywhere, fear not, it's just our new theme during the Nail Art Marathon - dots! :D
Alina came up with this idea and I wanted to make it special, since it's been a while since I drew something more complex on my nails. ^_^

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 19. Waterfall Nails
Hello, nail lovers!
Yes, I'm late, I know, but if you had my schedule and my type of internet connection, you'd understand... So, sorry, it might be this way for a while... :/
Aaaaanyway, this week's theme is Alina's idea and is one of my favorites from the marathon. I've been wanting to do a waterfall manicure for a very long time and now I *finally* had the chance. :D

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 18. Saran Wrap
Another week, another theme! This time we have another one of Iulia B.'s ideas - saran wrap.
I have tried this technique before, and, you can actually find a tutorial posted by Laula on our Facebook page.
What I like most about saran wrap is that you can get unique designs every time, even form one nail to the other and you can create both funky and elegant manicures. Mine is a bit of both, and you'll see why if you look down. ^_^
