Neon & Sparkles

Tuesday 26 November 2013

 
I totally love these nails.  I have a client that pretty much lets me do what I want and this is what I came up with.
 
 
 
I've used CND Shellac in Black Pool on three fingers, the middle finger is CND Shellac in Silver Chrome with CND Shellac in Ice Vapor over the top and I've added three AB Swarovski crystals for that extra bit of bling.
 
 
The ring finger is two coats of CND Shellac in Cream Puff and then I've very gently pressed in some amazing pastel neon pigment powder, top coated and then done this gorgeous flower stamp.  The stamp is a Betina stamp from plate 07.

The neon pigment is available here, and this is a special listing for Australians only.  If you are in another country you should contact the seller before purchase.  The seller is located in the UK

Tutti Frutti Bling

Tuesday 12 November 2013



 
Something to brighten my client's day!  She's had her first CND Shellac mani and is in love!
 
After having cheap and nasty stick on nails from K-Mart she has a lot of damage to her nails from picking them off herself.  She was over the moon at how good her nails looked (even with the damage) after I had applied the Shellac.
 
 
I've used CND Shellac in Tutti Frutti on the thumb and first two fingers and on the ring finger and lttle finger I've used CND Shellac in Silver Chrome layered with the new Ice Vapor (my new favourite colour).
 
I finished off the ring finger with a zebra print Betina stamp.

LUSH LUSH LUSH Product Review

 
 

Hi guys,

I recently tried some amazing products from Lush Australia and here is my review.

Enjoy!

Magnificent Matte Nails

 
Okay, so I've been using CND Shellac for about 18 months and whenever I've done matte nails before I've done two coats of CND Shellac top coat and lightly buffed off the second coat to leave a matte finish.
 
BUT recently I had been hearing that there are now matte top coats out for gel polish and not just regular polish.
 
My friend Olga is the Victorian rep for Indigo nail products and she told me that Indigo do a great matte top coat.  So I purchased some for around $14 and this is the result.
 
 
 
I've done two coats of CND Shellac in Lobster Roll and added the matte top coat and it's worked like a dream.  My client has had this on her nails for a week with no peeling, no lifting and no chipping!
 
So far so good!
 
The ring finger is one coat of CND Shellac in Silver Chrome, layered with two coats of the brand new colour Ice Vapor and I've finished it off with a rose stamp from Betina.
 
I wasn't sure how the matte effect would turn out on a brighter colour but it looks amazing and the photo does not do this justice at all.
 
I highly recommend getting a matte top coat if you are a professional nail tech!
 
 
**************************************************
 
If you are interested in purchasing a matte top coat from Indigo you can contact Olga.  I believe that the top coat comes in two different sizes.  I got the 5ml bottle and I think there is a larger bottle.

Sparklicious Nails



I am IN LOVE with these nails.  I just love the holographic glitter that a lovely friend of mine sent me all the way from the UK.  It's silver holographic glitter by Irresistible and it's available from Sweet Squared if you are in the UK.

I've used CND Shellac in Grapefruit Sparkle as a base and then I've pressed in the glitter over the tips of the nails.
