My Vuitton Nails

Hey girls!

I'm back today with some pretty cool nails! Thanks to Spellbinding Nails, I've won some great stamping plates that I was willing to buy. Particularly the FUN2 plate from Fab Ur Nails. And the first design I wanted to try is the Louis Vuitton one. To do something similar to the well-known purse motif, I applied two coats of Bourjois Brun Laqué. And I used Essie Good as Gold for the stamping!


I can't afford a Vuitton purse, but at least I have some pretty awesome Vuitton nails! 



About the plate, I was impressed by the quality of the designs. They transfer very well, and they are very detailed.
I'd totally recommend you these plates if you don't have them already! You can find everything about the plates here and you can order them here!

What do you think about it? I'll be parading all day with these Vuitton nails!!

Have a nice day!

Bourjois - Python Top Coat



Bourjois is a brand that I truly cherish, and I've already told you how much I loved their polishes. 
Back when I was living in Tunisia, it was the only affordable brand that was imported there. It's with Bourjois that my interest in make-up, eyeshadows and polishes started.

So when I saw that this new top coat was going to be released, I knew I had to get it! I've been looking for this top coat for a while and I don't know why but I couldn't find it in stores. But lately, I've seen more and more swatches of it, and I had to find it! So during my lunch break, I did many shops and I finally bought it!!! 
And as always with Bourjois, I wasn't disappointed! I layered it over a nude beige polish and here's what it looks like !




It's really easy to apply, and you can build your layer without ruining it all. If you do a really thin coat you'll have a very crackeled effect (like on my middle finger), and if you do a thicker coat the scales will be more visible. I love both of the effects, and it's really easier to use than OPI's Black Spotted top coat for instance. It takes a little time for the effect to appear.



I love the texture of this top coat! The fine scales of this python effect give to your nails a unique look! I think that it would look great with a matte top coat over it too.


I think that it's definitely a must have for fall. The color is just perfect for this season.


What do you think about it? Would you buy it if you could? Have you already tried it?
What are you girls up to this weekend?

Studded Nails


Hello there!

Recently, I've been buying a lot of things that I really wanted. I felt a little guilty at first but hey we have to be honest here, it feels so good to have new things :D
I don't buy nail things just tu use them once and never touch them again. No, I've got phases in which I'll use a product more than another one, but I always try to use everything I have.
So I already told you about these 1 Second Bourjois nail polishes than I've been crazy about. Two of my favorite colors are "Figue Chic" and "Rose Cupcake". I've been looking for these colors forever!
I also found in my drawers studs that I had bought a while ago. I'm more into studs than into strass and bling things. But when it's well done, strass can add a pop to your mani :)
My studs are from the BornPrettyStore. This online store is awesome : everything is quite cheap, shipping is free worldwide! I've already bought many items from this store and I've never been disappointed. Fast shipping, fast delivery, great products, everything I like!! For your next order, I've got a 5% off coupon : BPS5 ! Feel free to use it!
I didn't use any glue to make the studs stick to my nail. What I did is I put 2 coats of the color I wanted, I waited for it to dry, and once dried, I added a thirth coat, and this time I didn't wait for it do dry. Once the polish applied, I immediatly placed the studs. Then I applied two coats of top coat and here we go !



I've seen many studded manis over the net, and they all look great!

What about you? Do you prefer using strass or studs?

Bye!

In Love


As promised yesterday, I'm back today with my new entry to the nails battle by Bourjois.
It took me a long time to find this "Rose Cupcake" color. I've been seeking it forever. I could have bought it online, but I wanted it so badly that I was too impatient to wait for it to be shipped to me.
So I've got it!! As usual, no problem while applying it, even though this time, I have to admit that two coats were necessary to cover my white nails. 
Then I applied a matifying top coat and that's when I literally fell in love for this color. Once matified this nail polish is just A-MA-ZING (seriously, even not matified it already looks great!) :



I decided to stamp it and here's what came out :


What do you think about it?

See you soon :)
