#OMD3 - Day One - Teal nails !!!!

Hello, my lovelies….

It’s finally here! Oh Mon Dieu Nail Challenge 3 finally has started today! Happy 1^st of July, lovelies!

For those of you who don’t have a clue what the heck I’m talking about please feel welcome to take a look how the lovely  Jacqui aka Craftynail has explained it –

‘The OMD is a 31 day international nail art challenge with prizes.  For each of the 31 designs that you complete you earn a chance to win a prize in the end. You don’t have to participate every day in July, but the more days you enter the better your chance of winning a prize. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate either (instagram, facebook and other social media accounts qualify). The best part about the OMD? In August we’ll pick 5 random winners from different areas of the world who will win epic nail mail prizes! Don’t worry, our winners are picked at random. We don’t judge your nails.  Stay tuned for more info!   In mid-June we’ll post pics of the prizes and prompts.  All 31 prompts will be new and fresh for 2015- no repeats.  It’s going to be so fun!’

 
I’ll be honest with you, my lovelies – I won’t be able to enter all the 31 prompts but I promise to do my best. Now let's how my Teals came out.

 I'm really really happy with this mani. I've used some of my favorite techniques and polishes and finally the inspiration came back. I was pretty sure there will be no easy escape from the black hole I was in but/me like that kind of 'buts'/ ..... but here we go - a nice looking mixed and matched mani for the first day of Oh Mon Dieu Challange. 

If you, my lovelies, want to take part of the fun just add your mani to the reference page here.

Born Pretty Store Nail art Pen !!!!

Hello, my lovelies….

     I really don’t know how to start this post. It’s not because I’m not satisfied with the final result. It’s not because I’m going to show you something you haven’t seen before. It’s just because for the first time I felt  disappointed from a nail art product.  Maybe it’s my fault – not enough practice, not enough skills, not enough patience…. I don’t know. It just didn’t work for me.

Born Pretty Store Nailart pen.

      I was really thrilled when I’ve received it . I thought it would be a great fun and probably a piece of cake to decorate my nails with this pen. I followed the instructions – shake, pump, draw – but…. Don’t like buts at all. I hate to see buts here.  But it wasn’t that easy. The liquid was too sheer and looked like a sour milk. The shake and pump exercise was really annoying/sorry/.  At the middle of all the work process the liquid just has stopped. When I shake it again nothing has happened – I wasn’t able to add even a single drop more on my nail. Another shake-pump work out and nothing. Ten minutes rest – nothing. Another try – nothing. Last chance - not me for sure.The pen probably doesn't like me. At all.

So, that’s it – great expectations and big disappointment. Sorry, Born Pretty, you know I’m a great fan of your products but this pen is not one of my favorite ones. I’ll be a good girl and will give one more chance to my nail art pen but not now. We both need a little more time to clear our differences.

Now let’s see the photos.

    As you can see, my lovelies, the final result is quite good. It’s because I’ve finished my rose with my fine brush and some white acrylic paint. All the rest is obvious – some stamping with Born Pretty Store BP-05, a few flat back acrylic pearls – again from the store and some holographic glitter for the thumb so he can feel special too.

If you, my lovelies, have any special tips and tricks for using that kind of nail art pens please let me know. I'm open to all suggestions.
