[Review] Born Pretty Store Zipper Water Decal

Press Sample

Hello again my lovely readers,

I received a sheet of zipper water decals from BornPrettyStore.com to review, which I used to create the denim design you see below.

This denim design was inspired by CopyThatCopyCat's Denim Zipper Nails. Later I applied some matte top coat, but it kind of flattened the texture and smudged the colors a bit. But I still like it a lot.

Polishes used:
China Glaze - White Out (ring finger)
Color Club - Blue-Topia (1 coat)
Acrylic Paint (gold sticht)

The zipper water decals come in a sheet like this:

They are very easy to apply:
1. Remove the plastic protective foil
2. Cut the decal you want to use
3. Dunk it in water for about 10 - 20 seconds
4. Slide the decal off and with the help of tweezers, apply it on your nail
5. Apply to coat to seal in your design.
Voilà! It's that simple!

Romero Britto Inspired Nails

Hi my dear readers,

I've been wanting to do a Romero Britto inspired mani for ages and yesterday I finally did it!

I wasn't sure if I wanted to paint the design only on an accent nail or all nails. So I first started with my ring finger and planned on leaving all the other nails in plain color. But I changed my mind and did some random colorful shapes filled with dots and lines. Here's how it turned out:

And this was my inspiration:

A Year's Challenge - Week 3: Color Blocked mani

Hi everyone,

I'm kinda late, as I joined this challenge in week 3, so I totally missed the first 2. This is my first challenge ever and I'll be doing this for a full year (I hope!). If you want to know more about this challenge, check the original post here.

Here's my attempt at "color blocking". I must say I had to do a google search on this term. Then I found this beautiful design by Prabal Gurung from last year's spring fashion. I loved the color combi of the first 4 dresses and tried to put than on my nails.

The matte version:

Polishes used:
