Red Dalmatians

Hello!

Don't get scared when you read the title. It's just so you'll have an idea of what you'll see.

I've been using PVA glue as base for every single polish I wore lately, and today I chose to shorten my almond claws and do a new manicure.

Here's the result after two coats of Golden Rose Paris 79, a faded burgundy creme, and Essence Black Dress And White Tie, my newest beauty. The Essence polish mentioned is a speckled topper with -obviously- tiny black and white hexes and fine white glitter packed in a clear base. Fortunately, it applied flawless, it's neither tacky nor too thin and the glitters apply in the perfect amount.

 Tomorrow's my birthday and I thought it's a fun combo. What do you think?

That's it for now, I'll see you really soon. Kisses!

Almond Mix

Hello!

I know it's been a while since my last post, but I've had a few things to do which filled my whole spare time.

Today's first post will be focused on my manicures from the last 3 weeks.

The first beauty I reswatched and wore for a whole week was Essence Grey-t To Be Here.

  

The very next beauty I wore on a city break was Golden Rose Paris 220, a deep eggplant creme with fuchsia-purple shimmer.

After that, the very last beauty I wore was Maybelline Colorama 80 Electric Blue, which is actually an electric shimmery blue.

I'm surprised I managed to keep them almost a full month but they started to crack on the sides and were really weak and thin.

Keep your eyes peeled for the second post of the day. Kisses!

Glittery Stilettos

Hello!
I finally get to post from my huge phone woooooooo!

Today I chose to change the shape of my nails and managed to do them almond/stiletto style.

 The polish is a mix of the red Alix Avien and golden glitter top coat, but actually I poured the glitter in the polish so it turned out just the way I wanted. Below are some more pictures. Enjoy and don't forget about my discount code for BornPrettyStore.com.

I'll see you soon. Kisses!

Spun Sugar Ombré

Hello everyone!

Today I decided my nails have waited enough for a new manicure, therefore I brought my summery colours out of the box, a few toothpicks, the beeswax balm and spent about 2 hours doing an ombré manicure while watching "Eat, Pray, Love".

As I had no any other ideas, I chose to do a Spun Sugar manicure which turned out way better than expected and below is the best shot of my nails.

I used a gradient with sunny yellow, acid yellow, apple green, light turquoise and teal. And fortunately, I managed to take a few photos with my sister's phone before she leaves. Below are some pictures in artificial light (with and without flash).

(This one's actually in both natural and artificial light)

I'm absolutely in love with this kind of manicure, it's definitely my no. 1 WOW nail art, the technique is easy to use and it's definitely a good option if you want to impress with your skills.

That's it for now, don't forget about my discount code which you can use when you purchase from BornPrettyStore.com and get a 10% discount when you place the order. I'll see you all really soon. Kisses!

Blog Promoting

Hello!

So I decided to promote my friend Anca's blog because she's really nice.

Here's the link to her blog where she posts things that make her happy. I hope you like it.

And by the way, don't forget about my discount code when you purchase from BornPrettyStore.com .

I'll probably promote blogs monthly if I have time *and if I don't forget*, but that's all for now. I'll see you soon.

Kisses!

Gabs is back!

Hello there!

It's been almost a year since my last post.
Honestly, I wish I had more time to post, because my sister's hired and now I'm her manicurist, therefore I could share some manis with you.
I'm really excited that my first high school year is over, and now I have more time to work out and take care of my whole body, including my nails. I'm really proud of myself for losing a few pounds and managed to let my nails grow just due to my sort-of-diet based on more veggies, high-protein low-carb recipes and daily workout.

I found this website full of visual workouts, nutrition tips and recipes and I said "Why not?" And that's how I switched to extremely lazy to "I don't work out enough". I really started challenging myself more and more everyday and my family's proud of this massive change.
I'll soon enjoy a well-deserved treatment and I'll go on a few trips, including Greece on my list *if I manage to find a guesthouse near the sea and quite affordable*.
Okay, so I know it's not that much news, but unfortunately my phone's currently "gone" for some fixing stuff and I can't find any camera around the house with an empty SD card. As soon as I manage to find a solution I'll share some photos with you.

That's it for now, I'll see you all really soon. Kisses!
