Beauty Big Bang: (J1377) Professional Nail Dotting Tool Nail Art Drawing Pen

Floral prints were a big favorite of mine to freehand paint in the past when I was always freehand painting with nail art bushes on my nails.

To pick back up on some freehand art.. I was so excited to try this 
Beauty Big Bang
(Professional Nail Dotting Tool Nail Art Drawing Pen)


I couldn't wait to try this tool with some gel paint that I had ordered from 
Candy.Coat! 


🌿🌺🌱💮🍃🌺🌿



🍭Here are the gel paint color's numbers that I used on this manicure:💅
🏼(gel paints)🍬


•112
•001
•002
•276
•324
•331
•116


🌿🌺🌱💮🍃🌺🌿


I've always wanted to own one of these drawing/writing pens.. lol, I've always thought these were so cool bc of having to "dip the tip in the ink pot" in order to write on paper etc. I found this nail art tool so easy to use for nail art. Especially, and I N C R E D I B L Y easy to use with *g e l* polish too!! 

I used the dotting tool to dab gel paint to create the large part of the flowers before I used the tip of the pointy pen to create the thin lines within the flower.

*In my own opinion, this tool would be best used with gel paints and gel polishes.


🌿🌺🌱💮🍃🌺🌿




•@sally_hansen miracle GEL matte top coat
•@emilydemolly (base color) 'Half Orange'
I applied 3 coats alone with no undies base with this polish. This polish color is definitely different & is gorgeous in different lighting!
•Floral nail art inspired by @ninanailedit

Beauty Big Bang: (BBBXL-061) Alphabet Theme Rectangle Nail Art Stamping Plate Word Pattern BBBXL-061

This was the stamping plate that I didn't think I needed!
HA!

No, seriously, this one is so cute with all the letter jacket fonts that caught my Asian eyes..
lol, I IMMEDIATELY knew I had to stamp "AS IF" on my nails.
I mean, who still hasn't seen the most awesomeness movies from the 90's yet is just cray CRAY.
I mean.. Clueless was one of my many faves to watch growing up as a teen in the 90's.

Still is.


I don't own any stamping plates with flannels or tartan prints.
Though I managed to still make this one pass for Cher and Dionne's infamous tartan two piece outfits.

Not gonna lie..
I wish I had their wardrobes that was always so perfectly paired with cute knee high socks & matching outfits. AND don't forget those hats too!

This is the plate not only for fan-girling just because of the movie but you can create looks for
any other purposes too!

Beauty Big Bang: (BBBS-031) Nature Landscape Trees Theme Square Nail Art Stamping Plate

Summer isn't over yet!!

We still have 2 more days left to enjoy until Fall season is upon us!

It's amazing how the weather has drastically changed in the last few weeks from Fall-sy temps and now back to Summery humid temps up to 85 degrees! It is beyond bi-polar here in the Midwest, for sure! lol
The leaves on the trees are turning colors here and there.. So, I just had to create a dark magical, Fall-sy night mani.

The stamping plate I used to create this dark, mystical manicure is from

BPS review: (#46502-4) (gold silver) UR SUGAR 8ml Sparkling Stamping Gel Gold Silver Soak Off UV Gel Polish for Stamp Template Stencil

Looking to try something new for stamping?

This is my first stamping gel to try on stamping nail art.
It is something for me because it was trial and error for me for the first 4x's. lol
But I got the hang of it.

This first shot you may not be able to see it but I did take a few macro shots of the gold silver stamping gel on the mani effect on this marble look.

UR SUGAR 8ml Sparking Stamping Gel Gold Silver Soak Off UV Gel Polish for Stamp Template Stencil # 46502 USD $1.99

You can find this stamping gel by clicking on this link provided for you:

I love how the gold silver pops ever so subtle on the white base.

I also love me a good macro shot that shows every detail and oopsies lol
Look at the tiny specks of the gold silver!!
IT'S SO PRETTY!


I used P2 Cosmetics nail polish (105 white now) for the base and stamped with their Techno Chrome (130 galaxy) nail polish on the marble effect.

Thirdly, I stamped with Born Pretty Store's gold silver gel stamping and cured it under my LED lamp for 30 seconds and topped the manicure with just a regular fast drying top coat to seal the look.

This one was my favorite to create!
It reminds me of Lisa Frank with the rainbow gradient base
plus the stamping images from this plate.


Which one do you prefer?
Matte or Shiny?


*I used ALL Maniology stamping polishes on all 3 mani's*

Quixotic Polish
'Lei It On Me'

Look at the glow when it's in the shade guys!

I was a bit disappointed because it is a Gorgeous one!

BPS review: ( #46675) Harunouta Rectangle Stamping Plate Staineless Steel Lines Nail Art Stamp Template L079

Hello! Hello!

I've got one look for you guys today on this marble stamping plate from Born Pretty Store.
It is Gorgeous ya'll!
I know, I know.. Why only one mani from this plate?! 
Well, I'm currently working on it!

But for now, this one that I had created reminds me of the black and white composition notebooks.
I wasn't going for that look but this one still turned out just OK. It finally grew on me. lol
LMK what you think of this one over a subtle blue-grey shimmery polish!

@ethereallacquer 'Plush' is perfect for this marble look.
I'm O B S E S S E D ❣❣❣

Harunouta Rectangle Stamping Plate Staineless Steel Lines Nail Art Stamp Template L079 - $3.59 - #46675

There are so any different marble looks you can create with this stamping plate.
The etches of the plate picked up great with my stamper. Just in case anyone was wondering about that because in the past, I've heard some stories about some images being hard to pick up.
