Hello readers!

Who doesnt know the game Candy Crush Saga! I know most of you are already into this game! My son loves it! and so do I! It's a very addictive puzzle game! Guest what! ?

My title has something to do with my mani. Recently I received a package which came from MyOnline Shop on facebook. They are selling different kinds of image plates.

I first tried the candy crush emblem (MJ XIX), a full design train (MJ XX) and a candy (MJ XII)! What can you say about it?

BTW,

Here are some of the scanned pictures of the image plates with different designs that I received. And it has a special "Hello Kitty" design which is my favorite! Yay! look at how cute the hello kitty image plate is.. I love them very much! Will use it for my next post. Stay tuned!

You can buy them here: MyOnline Shop
MyOnline Shop Storenvy

For Php 750.00 / $18

You will get a FREE special edition image plate by purchasing all 10. How good is that! Hurry up! Available until stocks last!

The second mani I made is stationery paper inspired nailart. I entitled it "Love Birds".

I used MJ XIX for the birds on the wire, and QA 10 for the birds kissing with the heart design. I really like the color I used in this mani. How about you? Which of my two mani do you like most?!

Hope you like them! God Bless! ♥

Hi guys! Finally, my son's 2nd periodical exam is over. I missed blogging alot ☺sorry for absence.. All because of my busy schedule..

Btw..

Yesterday, I received a package that came from Bornpretty store, a Movable False Hand Nail Art Display Show Practice Tool , and New 500 pcs Natural Full Acrylic False Nail Tips Nail Art

I really like them.

Look at the result. The movable hand looks very much like a real hand. You can bend the fingers in any position you like... You can also decorate it. It's very useful especially for those who own a nail art salon. I like it very much... I also used the false nails I received from bornpretty.. I used double sided tape to attach it on the model hand and also on my nails... You won't notice that it's a false nail because it looks like my real natural bare nails...

Aztec design is very in nowadays, on shirts, bags, cellphone cases, etc. I love its colorful and different patterns... That's why I tested it on nails.. I love it!! Hope you like them!! God Bless

3D Acrylic Molds for Nails

2012-08-15T23:34:00.000-07:00

Hi guys!

After a year, my blog reached 1001 followers when I checked it last week! I'm very thankful to my fellow bloggers for following and supporting my blog. I hope my posts can provide insights and help my fellow bloggers. :)

Anyway guys, have you tried 3d acrylic mold for nail art? I made a tutorial. It's easy to use!

all you need:

nail color

Procedure:

1. Using a small nail art brush,

dip the brush into nail art liquid and after that on acrylic powder. Place it on the 3d mold.

2. Fill all the mold with acrylic mixture . You can choose acrylic powder in any color. I chose white.

3. When the acrylic mixture is already dry, you can use a stick to take out the already hardened acrylic mixture.

4. I chose white so that I can apply different nail colors. Here's the finished product.

You can buy all these products from bornpretty store. There are various designs to choose from. I also made a 3d acrylic cellphone case using 3d molds. It' s fun and easy to use!!

To avail of a 10% discount, just type the code MAEJ61.

How to make 3d nail design using stamping technique.

1. Apply your desired base coat. Let dry.

2. Choose the pattern you like. For this tutorial, I used MJ 2 image plate with bow and heart design for the full pattern.

3. Then choose another pattern for the 3d overlay. I chose cupcake and donut pattern using bm308.

4. Render your selected 3D design. make sure that your color doesn't exceed the outline. let dry.

5. Stamp it again with dark color to make the 3d design more visible.

6. Add top coat and neon rhinestones.

Eyelash Extension Kit Review Tutorial

2012-06-15T20:36:00.004-07:00

Hi guys another review product came from Born Pretty! Many of us wish to have a long and perm eyelashes, and in doing so, we use different kinds of mascara. Born Pretty has an answer for that problem! Eyelash extension kit is now available on her online store. You can use this even just at home for a very affordable price of $12.72.

Eyelash extension kit includes:
1- 8mm false individual eyelash extension
1-10mm false individual eyelash extension
1-12mm false individual eyelash extension

1-false individual eyelash glue

1-straight tweezer

1-curve tweezer

1-glue remover

1-air pump

and 25pcs crescent curve lint free gel eye pad patch eyelash extension eyepads for only $2.99

Here's what I received from Born Pretty

and a tutorial on putting them.

*CLICK PICTURE TO ZOOM - IN

1. Wash face with soap and water.

2. Peel off the eyefoil.
3. Put the eyepatch on the lower part of your eyes, and also on your eyelids.
4. Use an eyebrush for your eyelashes.
5. Dip one eyelash extension in the adhesive and pick one eyelash on which you want to apply it.
6. Stick it on (near the root part).

7. Use pump to dry it.

8. Repeat all the steps on your remaining eyelashes.

You can now see the difference.

Here's the "before" and "after". it looks much prettier without mascaras and false eyelashes.

pros:

*more affordable compared to salon extensions.

* natural looking eyelashes.

cons:

*you have to be patient because it takes an hour to apply.

*eyeglue may irritate your eyes.

*but all in all, my sis loved the result.
