Behind The Nail art - Base & top coats

Nothing to disclose 

Hello and welcome to the second installment of the 'Behind The Nail Art' series! Check out the first installment 'Behind The Nail Art - Brushes' if you missed it! I know you're all dying to know what my secrets are, what products and tools I use and how to make the tiny nail art. So that's why I'm going to share everything I know! Today we'll be looking at the base & top coats I use. I don't have the budget to shop around and try different things, so I have to do my research and make sure that what I buy is the right product for me (and yes, all of these products were bought by me). These are my base & top coats!

Don't let anyone dull your sparkle! Nail art with a message

Nothing to disclose 

Hey ladies! My nail art wants to tell you something, and I think it's important that you open your ears and mind and that you listen closely. I have been seeing comments that are bullying. I've seen comments that are downright hateful or aggressive. And I freaking want it to STOP! But... you can't change other people. So what I want to do is tell you this: don't let anyone dull your sparkle!

You are good at what you do. No matter what anybody else says. If you feel like it's something you love and something you're supposed to be doing, shut your ears when someone foolishly tries to convince you to stop. As long as it's not hurting anyone, who the freak cares?

Hey babes! Are you up for something tasty? I came across this super cute cake somewhere on the internet, I really don't remember where.

Their cakes are absolutely gorgeous, their pictures are clean and amazing and I wish I could visit and taste some of their creations. Incredible!

Nothing to disclose 

Hey dudes, babes and maybe the odd cat, dog or hamster that's reading along! I've been planning this 'Behind the nail art' series for a while now, since I've been getting a LOT of questions about what brushes I use, how I get certain effects in my art and what my favorite top coat is. Well, it's all going to pass by your screen in the next few weeks! I want to kick this off by talking about my brushes, all of these brushes were either bought by me or received as a gift without strings attached. I know a lot of you wonder about this so let me introduce you to my brushes!

Neon letter rain nail art (glow in the dark) + video tutorial

Includes press samples 

Ello ello! You might remember these freehanded letters from back in June. I created this design in June because I was invited to showcase my nails at an art show! But I wasn't happy with the way my old pictures looked, so that's why I decided to recreate it and take better pics (and use lots of glow in the dark nail polish ofcourse). The art show was this afternoon and everyone was SO nice! I got a lot of compliments about it being so different, not being on a regular canvas. I met some truly amazing artists and even saw some familiar faces, so I had a great time :D Now click, come see the glow pics!

I just really love that glow in the dark effect! Oh and I made a tutorial for you guys, so you can make this yourself!

Sparkly nails with Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle and nail vinyls

Heys!!! Do you know how you sometimes have a polish that you really want to use but you have no clue what to do with it exactly? I love, love, LOVE my Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle because it's just so freaking sparkly! But if I'd want to paint on top of it, I'm afraid the art would get lost in the glitter... That's why I chose to go for nail vinyls! Check out the video tutorial too!
