Leopard Print Nails




I decided to go a little out of my comfort zone.  That's right, animal print is not my fort.

Hoy decidi hacer algo fuera de mi zona de confort. Es cierto, el animal print no es mi fuerte.


Products used:

Nude base (no name)
Dark brown polish (no name)

For the leopard spots I mixed 3 shades of pink
'Pixie Slick' by Sally Hansen (4 drops)
'Orquidea' by Vogue Fantastic (3 drops)
'Exotic Pink' by L.A. Colors (2 drops)
The reason I did this was to create a shade similar to the glitter.

Loose glitter 'Polly' by Violet Voss over 'Pixie Slicks'





close up


This design was inspired by my daughter's dress. I just gave it a little twist by adding the glitter.  As an accent nail and also added in some random spots of the animal print as seen on the close up picture.


Este diseño fue inspirado en el vestido de mi hija. Yo solo le cambie un poco agregandole la escarcha como uña de acento y en algunos puntos al azar del animal print como se puede ver en el close up.

For some people, this could be the easiest design because it does not need any skills, it is simply made with a dotting tool or even can be done with a toothpick or a bobby pin. But for some reason I am never satisfied with my results... 


Para algunos, este diseño podria ser el mas facil porque no requiere ningun talento, puede simplemente ser hecho con una herramienta de puntos e incluso con un palillo de dientes o un pasador para el cabello. Pero por alguna razon yo nunca estoy satisfecha con mis resultados.


I hope you like this quick review
Have a great day.

Simply Spoiled Beauty Products Review



A few weeks ago, I recieved some products from Simply Spoiled Beauty to review.  Some of these are nail charms, nailart pens and even a neon lipstick.. 
But for now I will be showin the nails products. 


Unas semanas atras, recibi unos productos de Simply Spoiled Beauty para mostrarles. Algunos de esos son accesorios para uñas, lapices de esmalte e incluso un brillo labial neon. Pero por ahora les mostrare los productos para las uñas.



Nail Charms:
Accesorios para uñas: 





Polishes used: 
'Rusian Navy' by O.P.I . Its a navy blue with macro purple and pink shimmer.
'It's Frosty Outside' (textured polish with a matte finish).
And a cute bow.

How easy can we turn a simple mani into a very chic one just by adding this charm. A perfect look for a night out. 


Que facil podemos transformar un mani muy simple en uno muy chic con solo agregar este moño. Un look perfecto para una noche fuera.

Also look at the shimmer of this polish, and the textured one complements the bow. 
simply gorgeous in my opinion.


Pueden ver la escarcha que tiene este esmalte, y el texturado complementa el moño. Simplemente hermoso en mi opinion.

______________________________________________________________




Don't like dark colors? no worries.. How about a delicate and girly look.

No te gustan los colores oscuros? sin preocupacion.. Que tal un look mas delicado y femenino.





Polishes used:
'Glaciar' Vogue Fantastic. Its a pale pink.
'Tropical' Vogue Fantastic. Its a textured polish with a matte finish.
A cute bow.

Simple, easy and girly. 



close up

what I like about these charms is that its perfect for begginers and even for those with more experience. We dont need to make a very hard nail design to wear a great mani. Also if we are in a hurry just stick it to the nail and there you have it! Done in minutes.

How to stick it to the nail? 
Easy can be used topcoat. Or if you want this to stay longer you can use nail glue.



Lo que me gusta de estos accesorios es que es perfecto para principiantes e incluso para aquellas con mayor experiencia. No necesitamos hacer un diseño complicado para tener unas uñas hermosas. Tambien si estamos de prisa, solo pegalo a la uña y listo!  Hecho en minutos.

Como lo pegamos?
Facilmente se puede usar esmalte transparente. Pero si quieres que duren mas tiempo puede usarse pegamento para uñas.

Nail art pen!




They have a ponty side to use as a normal pen and a stripe brush in the other side.

Tienen un lado puntiagudo para usarse como un lapicero y una brocha fina del otro lado.





Here you have a quick idea of what to do with the stripe brush and the pen.
These are perfect for begginers, it allows you to have more control of what you would like to draw on the nail. But of course everything needs a little of practice.


Aqui tienen una idea rapida de lo que pueden hacer con la brocha fina y el lapicero.
Esto es perfecto para principiantes ya que da un mayor control de lo que se quiera dibujar en la uña. Pero claro como todo necesita un poco de practica.

Glitter Gradient using Violet Voss Loose Glitter 'Skye'



How easy can we turn a simple mani into a very chic one. 
This is probably the easiest glitter gradient either for begginers of even for experts. 
Instead of usinig regular glitter polish, I used loose glitter from Violet Voss.
click here to shop.


Tan facil podemos nosotras transformar una simple manicura en una mas chic.
Este es probablemente el degrade escarchado mas facil ya sea para principiantes o para expertas.
En vez de usar esmalte escarchado comun, yo use escarcha suelta de Violet Voss.
click aqui para comprar.



What I liked about these glitter specially to do a gradient effect, is that I can control the amount of glitter i wanted to use. 

If i decided to use a regular glitter polish, i will probably get a thick layer of clear polish and not enough glitter, and I say this for my own experience, the gradient will not look as good as this one showed in the picture.

And the best thing of all, these loose glitter are so much easier to remove than glitter polish.



Lo que me gusta de estas escarchas sueltas especialmente para este efecto degradado es que puedo controlar la cantidad de escarcha que necesito. 

Si decidiera usar un esmalte escarchado regular, probablemente ontendira una gruesa capa del esmalte pero no suficiente escarcha. Y lo digo por experiencia propia, el degradado no se vera tan bueno como el que se muestra en la foto.

Y lo mejor de todo, es que este es mucho mas facil de remover.

Here you can see a very close up. A very thin layer of glitter but perfectly degraded. 


Aqui pueden ver un acercamiento. Una buena ligera capa de escarcha pero perfectamente degradada.

Nails by Tataw Fall/Winter Collection - Review


Full review of NailsByTataw  Fall/Winter Collection. Shop here NailsByTataw









First of all, is this green polish called "Go Forrest".

Its a deep green shade with macro green shimmer. Its consistance is really smooth, easy to apply and full opaque with only 2 thin coats, as seen here plus topcoat for extra shine.



__________________________________________________________________







Next, here we have 2 in 1. 

"The Gold Standard" and "Twas a Night Before Halloween". 

'The gold standard' is a gold shade with macro shimmer, it ends into a matte finish, as seen on index and pinky nails. Easy cover with 2 thin coats only and no topcoat is needed. 
I wore this mani for 5 days and there was no chipping at all, even without the topcoat it was like recently done.. So they last long.

'Twas a night before halloween' is a glitter polish in a clear base. It has silver glitter, hexa glitter in gold and red. Its concistance is a bit thick, but the reason for it is to cover the entire nail with the glitters only with 2 coats. Here I did a simple glitter gradient on my middle and ring nails plus topcoat. 





_________________________________________________________________






"Aquamarine Dreams" 

This is one of my favorites from this collection. But I couldn't capture the right color.
It is a blue greenish shade with macro shimmer. Ends into a matte finish as seen on all the nails except on the ring finger, amazing formula, easy to apply and full opacity with 2 thin coats only.


with topcoat

matte finish
_______________________________________________________________________



Last but not least aslo 2 in 1. 

"Magentifique" and "Bucket of Autumn Awesome"

'Magentifique' is a fushia shade or magenta with macro pink and purple shimmer. 
As all these polishes formula simply amazing. Easy cover with 2 thin coats only as seen here plus topcoat for some extra shine. 

'Bucket of autumn awesome' is a multicolor hexa-holo glitter in different size in a clear base.
Its consistence is thick and its purpose is to cover the entire nail with the glitter only. Here I did a simple triangular design and I only used 2 very thin coats to cover.

I personally loved this collection. These polishes are so unique. They are 5- chemical free, Vegan and Cruelty free.

I got to know better the owner of this collection, Victoria.  She amazed me with it. And I also want to thank her for being the first person to ask me to swatch for her in her 'Summer collection' click here to see and work with her again was a pleasure.
