Half way through the week already. It’s flying as usual. Have you had a good week so far?
My fabulous friend Briget from Because I Can, has done it again. She has been teasing us with her ideas for a few weeks now and finally she has opened up shop. Because I Shop is open for business and I am ridiculously excited about it. She has started with nail vinyls but I know she has lots more goodies up her sleeve. She was kind enough to give me a few of her first designs and I can’t wait to show you just 2 of the nail art designs I have done already.
For this one, I used 3 different Because I Shop vinyls. I started with 3 coats of Essence – Girls night out on all my nails. On my middle and ring finger I added one coat of Morgan Taylor – Escar-Go to France. Once they were all 100% dry I started with the vinyls. On my pinky I used Ziggy Zaggy 3mm vinyls. Then I added Wow #393 and removed the vinyls immediately. On my ring finger I used the Ordinary Misfit – Cutie vinyl. Seriously, how AMAZING are the names? 😉 On my index I used the stencil part of the same vinyl. I then added Wow #393 and removed the vinyls immediately after applying the polish. On my middle finger I used the Ordinary Misfit – Full Monty vinyl. **PLEASE NOTE** I got these from the original batch, the sizing has changed and they are now smaller than the one I used here.** I then added Wow #393 and removed the vinyl immediately after applying the polish. I then topcoated and that was that.
Can I just say that I am blown away by the unicorn vinyls. I mean seriously, can it get any better? Ok, the next one.
On my ring finger I started with a gradient using Essence – Little miss sunrise, Essence – Flashy Pumpkin and Essence – Revolution. I waited for that to dry completely before getting started on the vinyl. I used the Flame On vinyl here. I then added Wow #393 and removed the vinyl immediately after applying the polish. I then added Wow #393 to all my other nails as well, topcoated and that as that. I must say I had originally done the flame vinyl on my ring and middle finger but I had messed up my middle finger completely and unfortunately I didn’t have more vinyls to redo it. The gradient and flame was so striking through I didn’t think it needed more.
So, what do you think? Are you as excited as I am to get my hands on a few more of these vinyls? Which one are you most excited about trying? The unicorns are just my absolutely favourite but I do have another idea with the bows coming up and those glasses are just the cutest thing I have EVER seen! I can’t wait to use those.
This is 3 coats with no topcoat. I almost want to say 2 coats would’ve been fine. This is a beautiful pink packed with so much shimmer it was a bit crazy to photograph. Really nice formula and one of my favourites from Essence in the pink department.
Oooooh, need to get me some unicorns, I love them!
The flame mani is so striking!
Those vinyls look great, especially the flame.
Just love love love this!!!
You have just made those vinyls sooo sexyy!!!!!
