Vintage stamping look

**press sample** 

Hello ladies and gents:

Most people in my geographical area are fed up with snow!... quite frankly I love it... snow brings with it, a tolerable temperature and the magic heavenly confetti as well as the most adored SNOW DAYS.  No school for many and no work for me! ... 

March is a very special month for me but it also reminds me that the end of winter approaches.  While that may make many people happy, it makes me melancholic. 

So I thought I'd pick a vintage-like manicure.

and because I'm still having so much fun with the Born Pretty stamping plate BP-L 004.  Here it is again with Barielle's Kiss me Kate and Vintage Crown.

The colors alone did give me that vintage-y look I was going for, but decided to add tear drop rhinestones for added bling!

Any one else with cabin fever or winter blues????

 

Stamps, decals, nailart Born Pretty Store

**press sample**

 

I hate the fact that nail art or nail anything supplies are so often so expensive forcing us, nail enthusiasts, to go on a no-buy regimen.  It's as cruel as putting a fat cat on a diet.  It's torture!!!

But fear no more.  You have heard me tell you about the Born Pretty Store as we have reviewed their stamping plates on our blog before.  If you have not, don't worry.  I'll tell you on this post.

The plates are nicely hedged making image grabbing a breeze!!
They are affordable!!
High quality!!
Nail and other beauty supplies store that provide FREE SHIPPING with no minimum purchase, 30 day money back guaranteed and excellent customer service!

I have today their BP-L-004 plate and an AMAZING nail art pen.  scroll down... I'll tell you why it is AMAZING!!!!

Have you ever seen those AMAZING manicures made of DIY decals??  Well, they're not that difficult to make (cough cough, they're not hard, I just can't do them LoL) but boy! they are time consuming and so many nail bloggers that I follow are sooo super talented at making them that they put my decals to shame.  So I simply drool over their designs and gave up trying.
Not only they are hard to make, it is simply not worth my time since I change my nail color more often than I change bras in the winter (shhhh.. I didnt say that)

So all that work for a day or two... I dont think so.

However, here, over a gradient using Barielle's Banana Drop, SinfulColors Ring the Belini, Horizon Shine and the #6 Born Pretty Nail Art Pen which, by the way, comes in many different colors, I caved.

 

With the nail art pen, I simply color in the stamp over the nail, seal with a top coat and done deal.



VIOLA!!! Nail decals in no time! and it's also fast drying.



Or use it for other fun stuff! ;)
its point is hard for durability and slim for precision.  I'm definitely getting more colors.

This is a must-have and can be found HERE

To spice things up like a latte I used image plate m98 from the Born Pretty Store

and created this mani.

Next up is Royal Chic is a deep brown jelly.. match it with those knee height boots, cozy sweaters and coffee mugs.

I can only think of all the teddy bear nail art I am going to do with this :)  

and lastly, Crown Gold, a  frosty goldie and as all frosty finishes brush strokes may be an issue if not applied patiently.

wear alone, layered, or do a glitter gradient say with this Crystal Couture Fashion Queen a glitter polish that is also part of this collection but the glitter polishes will be forthcoming :) stay tuned
