Not Just A Brush with BornPrettyStore

Hello,my lovelies...
It's time for some shabby chic roses inspired by a set of brushes.Yes,you can never tell where the inspiration will come from....This cute set here was sent to me from BornPrettyStore.
When I saw them at the store I just couldn't resist the need to have them.And why so?Because of the roses.I'm a huge fan of roses.And because I'm always in a need for brushes what can I say - it was a double score...
 
 All four of them are practical and functional.The bristles are a bit stiff but with more practice the results will get better and better.The only thing this set of brushes needs is a really thin detail brush to complete it.Or maybe I'm just too addicted to my Kolinsky 000....I'm surprised how easy was to make the thin stripes with the longest bristles brush.Seems there will be more stripes in my future manis....
Now let's see how did my new brushes managed with my shabby roses.

A lady is reminding You - Prostate Cancer Awareness with Star Nails Bulgaria

*To all those amazing men around.
Hello,lovelies...
In this cold November evening I have something to remind you.It's November.And yes it's time for you to decide How Mo Can You Go?It's the right time to give some attention to yourself.
Yes,I'm talking to you - all you great men around me.I know you're always ready to give your shoulder to us to cry on it or your hand to help us.Now it's time for us women to give our support.It's because we care.A lot.You know we need you but please admit it - you need us too.
-
' Movember (a portmanteau from the Australian-English diminutive word for "moustache", "mo" and "November") is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and other male cancers, and associated charities.The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health."
-
SNB Professional have invited me and fellow Bulgarian Bloggers to take part in one great initiative.It's called 'A lady is reminding you' and it's dedicated to men's health issues and aspecially to prostate cancer awareness.That's the reason for the moustache's design.That's my way to say 'I care'.
SNB Prifessional has a great line of polishes with bulgarian male names.Take a look at all the beautiful shades -
I've choose Angel - both the name and the color.Angel is tender and delicate cold pinkish nude creme with stunning opacity.I've needed just two thin coats to see how strong he is.The undertone is a bit cooler for my skin tone but who cares - I'm in love!
Yes,I'm in love and his name is Angel.It's  soothing he's just a gorgeous bottle of polish because I know someone who wouldn't be very happy if this new November love was a real one.
Me and Angel.We both want to say it loud - 'Go and make this medical exam,guys!It's easy and it's a matter of self respect'.But because you can't hear us let the photos talk.
It's up to me to get involved.
 It's up to you to make the decision.
All yours,
Angel and Maria

Draft Series:Abstract Thunders - matte black&acrylic paints !!!!

Hello,my lovelies...
The next of the draft posts is here tonight.I'm keeping on to the shedule...for now I guess.
This mani came few months ago in one empty of inspiration night.Me - tired.Bed - warm.Nails - clean and clear.Head - blank.
At moments like this I grab my black matte polish and few bottles of acrylic paints along with my fine brush.The result is not always something to be proud of but who cares.To do my nails without any scheme of the design is not very typical for me.I like it to be planned or at least sketched.It's kind of obsession to make tons of sketches for my future manis.So believe me when I say - it's not me if there's no plan or scheme around.That's way I'm  so happy when the result is pretty nice even without the planning part.
All yours,

Sponge,Stamp and Love with Bornprettystore BP 21 !!!!

Hello,my lovelies....
Sunday afternoon is always lazy and sleepy for me.I'd like to spend it mostly in bed with a book and a hot cup of coffee or something beside me.Reading is not always possible because my little daughter is not a huge fan of 'reading-sleeping' version of me...Well,3rd grade is not that 'little' anymore if you ask her but of course that's another story.So,I like my Sunday afternoons.I was thinking that one will be the same but something made  it different - one single thought and all my plans went in a different direction.
Yesterday I've recieved a package from BornPrettyStore.The stamping plate inside was calling me.Till know I have only one attempt with stamping and I don't even remember was it good or not.It was so long ago.So the decision was made - I'll do my nails and then I'll get back to my Sunday schedule.BornPrettyStore's plate - BP 21 - deserves a part of my nap time  for sure.
Don't forget to take a look at BornPrettyStore's 'stamping nail' section .I'm sure you'll find more then you've expected.
My nails were ready for stamping.Yesterday I've made my first pretty good looking gradient with a make up sponge.

The dark vampy colors I've used were screaming to put some gold or copper around them.A full nail stamping with gold sounds really nice to me.I thought it would be easy....But for an amateur in stamping like me there's no such thing as easy stamping.No full nail stamped as you can see - only few sections of the choosen part of the stamping plate.Maybe next time it would be better who knows... with more practice...
Now let's take a look at the photos.I'm pretty satisfied with the result - the stamped image became more chaotic then I prefer but that makes the design more interesting,looks kind of egyptian ...At least I'd like it to be that way...Enjoy it,lovelies....
Final thoughts - BornPrettyStore' stamping plates have gorgeous designs for sure.The only thing I would change in my future stamping attempts will be the size of my stamper.My nails are quite too long for the stamper I have and there's no way to transfer a full nail design with it.
Used - 
Golden rose Rich Color 23
Essence Color&go 155 Red Ahead
Flormar 313 Black Minimalism
for the stamping - 
Golden rose Chameleon 33
Desert rose 62

Now I know Sunday afternoon can be pleasant even without the bed'n'book part....On the other hand my nails are ready and I still have time to take a nap...

Draft Series:Behind The Thorns with Pastel,Perfect and Flormar !!!!

Hello,my lovelies....
A little time off the 'draft box' series I've started while ago.
This is my latest mani and if the photos were better I maybe would be able to say 'Well done with this mani,dear!'.But I can't help it - the lousy photos always ruin the full satisfaction.I have hundreds of better photos in my drafts but only these three for today's post.I hope you will forgive me,guys...Let's say it that way - even behind the worst photos can stay something that worths to be seen.
What we have - 
- gorgeous color combo - light creme brulee,midnight blue with subttle shimmer and true minimalistic black - you,little color-matching devil - thank you!
- great design idea - saran wrap to create a smoke-like effect to compliments the rose's thorns in the front
- glossy gloss top coat to pop out the design better.
Used - 
Pastel 11 - one of the most beautiful blues in my collection - deep,rich and filled with breath-taking micro subttle teal shimmer/sadly this shimmer can be seen mostly in the bottle/
Perfect Gel Look Nail Polish 526 - my latest love - gorgeous light creme brulee shade,the best base color for all kinds and types of colors,design and effects.Also looks magnificient by itself
Flormar 313 Black Minimalism - classic black creme - my first Flormar polish with own name on it
black acrylic paint,fine brush and shaky right hand.

Thank you for your patience,my lovelies....

Draft Series:Red'N'Black with Perfect and China Glaze !!!!

Hello,my lovelies...
My weekend was a real pain in the as$ ... I don't even want to remember it...After all I think I've lost enough neural cells and it's time to say 'Enough.Don't want to see,smell,feel or think about anything even close to housewifery,plumbery or else household actions.Enough.'
Few minutes ago I've found my way out of it.As we all know my draft box is still full so here is the next 'from the drafts' post - it's the best time for a post,it's time for me and my polishes,it's time to run straight into my obsessive polish world.And if it's possible I think to stay here for the rest of the night.
What better way to run from reality?Here's full of beautiful colors and it's sparkling.And the best of all - I want to share it all with you,my lovelies.Hope your night is magical and peaceful.Enjoy it.
 
Used - 
China Glaze Bump in the night - nighty black with awesome sand finish;
Perfect Sand Lacquer S52 - gorgeous rich red - perfect mate for China Glaze BITN;
Perfect Gel look Nail Polish 524 - filled with lots of deep red and  golden particles this red is a stunner;
Gabrini Multivitamin 336 - black creme - just can't live without it;
white acrylic paint.
So that's all for tonight.

Draft Series:Silver spirit with Golden rose and A-England !!!!

Hello,my lovelies...
The next post from the draft box.See how serious your Red Frog can be ah?
Today's mani was made back in the early spring.You can see from the shades there's still a bit of last year's winter spirit - something cold and frosty.As I can remember my wish was to make the design not so winter-y.So I tought it would be nice to add some zebra print around all that silver.Easy to be made,attractive and eye-catching.Probably it would be better if there were more details for nails that long - at least there's a plenty of space to play with the acrylic paints.Maybe I should make a re-do of this mani ... what do you think about it?
Used -
A-England Excalibur
Golden rose Holiday 51
Golden rose Rich color 101
black acrylic paint

Vintage Cupcakes for Manhattan and Luchessa !!!!

Hello,my lovelies....
It seems like I'm on my highest speed for posting these days....
After my guest post at Beauty Expression by Luchessa today I have something also inspired of her.One of my favorite cosmetic brands - Manhattan -  hits 50 and Luchessa came up with the idea about a nail art contest in the name of Manhattan's birthday.Here you can take a look at her post about it.
My first idea was a bit different - much more details,more girly colors and no cupcakes.But,yes most of the time there's always a 'but' lol,but then I thought why not to make it more vintage with some unusual colors for the theme.So here we go  - vintage cupcakes for Manhattan and Luchessa.
Used -
