I came here for that has not gone unnoticed, I chose to tell you about a very beautiful blue-flashy brand Orly. Obviously, with such a color, I make my entrance with a bang! Varnishes blue in my life, I’ve seen spend dozens and dozens, you know if you follow me on my blog, this is probably one of my favorite shades, no matter how it is declined. Well I can tell you loud and clear, that there really is unlike any other!

To prepare my nails for installation, thus avoiding the color, I used the basis of the same brand: the famous American Bonder whose nailistas crazy. I test it for a little over a week now, due to a manicure day and I am able to understand, finally, why they love it so much! Made of rubber, the base perfectly smooth the nail in a passage to allow to put his color much more easily. It glides alone! I recently moved and made myself a little hooked on the tip of my finger … Not at all want to cut it so far, I had just lost a small stratum!

Essie – Nail Art A small very soft

Aug 212012

Hello to all! As a guest, I come to speak today about two of my last shots Essie heart. You are aware that two collections have recently emerged, and each contains a color that I love and that is exactly the trend: I named the violet / purple / lavender!

So for you to get an idea of the exact color of each, we will set the swatch and try to decipher them, and then I will show that it is not always necessary to choose: the idea, c ‘ is that one can also make them live together!

Let’s start in chronological order, so I think in To buy or not to Buy from her collection Navigate . This is a pastel purple to pink pulling slightly. It is dotted with glass fleck very clear, and other slightly purple. Like most of the varnish with this texture, the application needs to take the hand. Firstly do not zap the basic step (Orly Bonder for example) to facilitate the laying of the color. Then do not try to get a perfect fit from the first layer, the small is a bit stubborn! Ask first a thin layer, let dry, then spend the second. Some nails may require a third layer but do not worry if the layers are thin it dries quickly and you do not spend hours there.

Once applied, the many sequins are discrete. They observed that at a certain light, but even when you do not see them, they give the varnish a luminosity and brilliance that you would not nail cream with a basic!

The second light purple is the newest straight out of the Resort Collection . A collection sober, very delicate, containing hues really nice. Present one is called She’s Perfect picture. This is a rather bright purple, but not enough to talk about pastel. Unlike To buy or not to buy this one pulls more towards blue, and this is what I prefer) . In addition to this very pretty shade that contains a small shimmer of purple clearer just beautiful. Much more visible than the glass fleck it gives a very special varnish and very pretty light reflections. Implementation issue is nothing to report. Fluidity & quick drying, we find here everything that makes the brand awareness! Without further delay here in the picture:

Finally, to show you a very simple to make deco is all the rage right now, I positioned the triangles at the end of my nails with the To buy or not to buy . To do this, you simply let it dry your nail (make your home the next day is even better) and then to affix two pieces of scotch as indicated on the display. Then move one layer of your second color, remove the scotch, put the top coat and … tadam! You are now equipped with a manicure original graphics, and terribly trendy in under 5 minutes! What more! Here are pictures…

So girls, after this small study that smells of lavender, you have a favorite? Or you’re one of those who prefer not to be jealous and take both? Personally if I really had to pick my heart would favor the second. Since I saw the first swatchs it makes me melt, I find it just perfect ^ ^!

Have a wonderful day full of sunshine and beautiful colors,

ALL ABOUT THE CAPS

Capsules with or without filing?

The capsules without filing

They have the advantage of being practical and easy to install. They represent a huge timesaver.

It must still be careful to follow the protocol of pose that is not the same as for conventional capsules failing to realize that the improper installation would take off over time.

This type of capsule is perfect for short nails and slightly curved (but not eaten). And, in general, to nails that do not require substantial corrections.

The conventional capsules

They allow many more corrections of the nail. This is actually a more conventional work, but offering the possibility of a more accurate result especially when working on hard nails (very corroded, rounded or very flat …).

The capsules without notches

They are mostly used to lengthen a French manicure or a natural nail that has a good length (to the end of the finger). If the nails are shorter, the result will not be aesthetic and certainly less strong.

By cons, it is true that these capsules offer a very fast implementation because they require no filing at all.

Among the conventional capsules, which type to choose?
I have healthy nails, short, and would like to extend them without damaging them

Basic capsules allow the execution of a meticulous work on all types of nails.

Their wide slots allow a very good hold of the nail and thus produce a very solid result. They adapt to all kinds of nails, they are called universal capsules.

I want to embellish my natural nails and give them a rounded

Amazing capsules are particularly suitable for installation on curved nails. They fit perfectly and give the nail a beautiful domed. The filing of these capsules short notch is very fast. By cons must ensure that the installation of builder gel is strong enough for their short recess can make work more fragile.

I want long nails, and fortified to the decor of nails

Chinese capsules are recommended for the construction of a long nail, especially in the Nail Art. They give the nail a perfect domed.

Their slots fit perfectly and make the nail pose very solid. They are also available in transparent execution quality Nail Art.

I want a very natural result

California caps are slightly tapered to a very natural result without much work of filing. Especially recommended for nails refine it a little wide smooth. Their short notches are quick to file.

Hello hello Nailista’s very expensive!

Today I show you a small manicure full of pep and good humor, history of being in the tone of this lovely sunshine and tap on my screen!

Home, which says neon pep said, especially now! A few months ago it was inconceivable for me to wear such colors, even less on the nails. I am by nature rather discreet and sober, and even if I allow myself bright colors on the nails, I was not really ready to get through the neon. And then gradually my eyes and my tastes have gotten used to, and now I swear by it! Even as a total look, while the nail on it do not ask me no problem on the contrary, I love ) . It is safe nails with neon, it is better to play it low-makeup and clothing, but we can afford some quirks still no? What do you think? Especially that now it is super trendy, Rihanna Lady Gaga, they have all passed, so why not us?

So when I saw the first video, and especially the launch video of the new collection Orly Feel The Vibes , I hit the roof. Necessarily. Flashy colors, a pretty white polish that does not Tippex, a darker varnish to balance it all … Anyway, the six were directly found a warm place in my heart of nail polish addict ) . These are the four flashy colors so I just present to you today, just so you can get an idea of what they have in them. Who knows, maybe the most reluctant of you will come to find it pretty? To make the neon more accessible and less “aggressive”, I chose to make a small nail art super simple to make …. Here’s what it gives:

So I chose to ask these fluorescent white polish on the collection, they are slightly jelly! This is how they appear best and they show their entire flashytude

To make this extremely simple nail art, just as you take your favorite polish, by the collection Feel the Vibes , and a tool for peas. For my part, I use what is called a doting tool , but you can absolutely choose to use a pin head, a hair clip, a small nail, ballpoint pen, etc. …

Once you have found your favorite tool, you put a drop of varnish on a plastic surface (avoid paper that drinks your varnish solvents ) ) And you lightly dip the tip of your doting tool inside. Then, for your peas are regular, start by asking those at the end, then the middle, etc. …

So what do you think? You’re tempted by the neon? You dare? Indulge yourself in the heyday used to it girls! )

I wish you a lovely day and see you soon for new ideas for colorful manicures!

A few tips:

It is very important that the base is dry. Acrylic paint is easily cleaned with a damp handkerchief. So you can start over if you miss, without having to reapply the varnish.
