The Don Deeva polish Anita Woody and scale stamping nail art "Blue mermaid"

Introduction

Contains press sample

Good day darlings. I made these "Blue mermaid nails" using wonderful glitter from The Don Deeva polish - Anita Woody applied on top of the nude glitter base. For scales stamping I used Violet MdU and Gold El Corazon polish. Since gold stamping was a bit lost, I decided to sponge some more glitter on top of it. And voila mermaid nails ready, it was also super easy to remove all this glitter. Dance legend makes amazing glitter bases, they come off nicely, you just have to hold hands under warm water for sometime.

Born pretty scale vinyls review and coupon code "Rainbow mermaid"

Introduction

Contains press sample

Good day darlings. Today I want to share review of nail vinyls from Born pretty store. They do not look like regular vinyls, but more like holo stickers and that's what is actually written on the package. But it's incredibly easy to work with them and the holo finish is so pretty to look at (Figure 2).  There are 12 sticker in the package (size 21 x 25 mm). You have to cut them, it's pretty easy to do following guide lines. On my medium size nails I was able to use half of the sticker per nail and it was just perfect. This vinyls stick really well to the polish and it's super easy to remove them as  whole piece. Some of the other brand vinyls which I used before would tear apart while removing them, no such problem here. I highly recommend this product, it's on sale currently only 1,99 $ and you  can also use my coupon code PHDX31 to get 10% from entire store. Oh, and do not forget to check out video tutorial for Rainbow mermaid nails, which I did using these scale vinyls and Lost my marbles from The Don Deeva polish.

Stamping Saturday: "Safari sunset marble" using The Don Deeva polish and stamping with MoYou London Explorer 23

Introduction

Contains press samples

Good day darlings. Today I have super bright and cheerful marble nails with Safari stamping. For marble decals I used two The Don Deeva polishes from Lost my marbles collection - Pink and Yellow. This polish is sheer neon jelly, so colors really pop if you apply them on top of the white background. After finishing with application of decals I decided that safari stamping would nicely complement these water marble patterns. And it turns out that I never did safari nails before, hard to believe, right? I'm super happy how they look all together, this might be my new favorite water marble design.

Ivana Shagalot The Don Deeva and stamping nail art "Winter butterflies"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Nasty winter Sunday here, so I decided to cheer it up with Butterfly design using wonderful purple holo glitter Ivana Shagalot from The Brothel collection The Don Deeva polish and MoYou London Kitty plate full of butterfly designs. I wanted to use them all, but had to choose only two, one is a butterfly wing on my index, middle and pinky and second is little butterflies for ring finger and thumb. I love that this design turned out so airy like real butterflies.

"Starburst" water marble nail design using The Don Deeva Lost my marbles jellies

Introduction

Contains press smaples

Good day darlings. Today I have fresh water marble design using The Don Deeva polish from Lost my marble collection. I used two colors blue and purple, both water marble flawlessly. For this design I made water marble decals, because I do not like to deep my fingers and prefer to apply marbles after they dry. I noticed that water marbles with The Don Deeva polish dry quite fast, also they are very thin and flexible, which makes it really easy to apply as decals. Check out my video tutorial at the end of this post to see it for yourself. Since this design was done for #watermarblepracticewed propmt "Starburst" I added some glitter stars and purple microglitter to complement water marble.

Glitter placement lead lighting with The Don Deeva collection Lost my marbles "Floral glitter lighting"

Introduction

Press samples

Good day darlings. I know you really loved my Christmas glitter placement and I also enjoyed wearing it so much. That's why I decided to make another design with glitter placement. And because it was not time consuming enough, I combined it with individual glitter lead lighting. I call it glitter lighting for short, omg... did I just invent new nail art technique??? And I just had to add some stamping on top, I'm a real stampaholic after all. For lead lighting I used outstanding neon jellies from The Don Deeva collection called Lost my marbles. They also water marble and have shimmer inside, wow. Before I used OPI tints for lead lighting and it was a pain, because as top coats they are quite sticky and if you are not quick enough tend to form tiny filaments, sort of like melted cheese. I hated it. There is no such problem with Lost my marbles, as they glide right on and covered each glitter effortlessly, I was super impressed. It was such a pleasure to lead light with them. Take a look at my video tutorial to learn more about "glitter lighting".

Challenge your nail art: "Silver & gold Christmas" with Mona Lott from The don Deeva

Introduction

Press sample

Merry Christmas darlings, have a wonderful time with your family and friends. Here is silver and gold Christmas nail design which you might enjoy on this special day. I used wonderful silver glitter from The Don Deeva called Mona Lott on top of the nude peel of base and added some real gold particles using Gold leaf topper from Dance legend. To complete this look I also applied golden Christmas tree and snowflakes from Bundel monster. Using metallic confetti is really challenging for me, but I think this design turned out much better than last year. In fact it was super sparkly, but I completely failed to catch it with my camera. Next time I'm gonna use this glitter on a sunny day and you will see how gorgeous it actually is.

The Don Deeva polish The Brothel collection swatches and review

Introduction

Press sample

Good day darlings. Today I have swatches of wonderful glitters from The Don Deeva polish collection called The Brothel. These glitters not only look stunning, but they also watermarble easily. You can check out my Candy cane design to see it for yourself. The formula is very smooth and pleasantly thin, non surprising for polish which water marbles. These glitters glide on your nail effortlessly, such an easy application, I love it! Unfortunately some really large glitters are sinking. The good news is that shaking of the bottle helps to mix most of them back. In spite of thin formula these glitters are fully packed with holographic particles, flakies, microglitters and glitters of various shapes and sizes. For my swatches I applied two easy coats on top of the nude peel of base and covered them with Seche vite top coat. Let's look at each  polish individually.

 

Neon candy cane water marble and stamping decal with The Don Deeva polish

Good day darlings. This post is very special for me, because this week I received my very first polish for review from amazing Danette, creator of the Don Deeva polish. She generously sent me two collections and one custom made polish. I'm already working on proper swatches, but I could not wait and decided to use her polish for nail art right away. I've heard that The Don Deeva polish watermarbles really well and was super excited to try it myself. And oh my, it was much better than my expectations, even glitters watermarble perfectly. Since it was my long time dream to make a water marble design with glitter, I used two The Don Deeva jellies and one glitter for festive candy cane design. It turned out super bright and just a bit too neon for candy cane, but I still love it. Do not forget to check video to see for yourself how easy this polish watermarbles.
