Hello Everyone!!!

The difficult that I was having of not being able to leave comment on your blog was simply because of the browser. As soon as I switched to Chrome it worked. May be the Firefox became outdated.

I cant believe we are almost at the end of this ABC Challenge, only 5 prompt left. Today is the day for "U". So to keep up with the theme I made U for Unicorn.

As usual I started off with white base coat. Then I did gradient with light colors and hand painted Unicorn and rainbows with acrylic paint. So what do you think? Let me know on the comment below. I will see you next Friday.

Hello Everyone!!!
Since last Friday I am not able to leave comment in your blogs. I tried several times but I just couldn't. I am not able to choose a profile that need while commenting. That's kind of frustrating. Can you HELP? This never happened to me before.
I am a day late for this post but continuing with ABC Challenge, today is the day for "T". So to keep up with the theme I made T for Tulips. I actually suck at making flower manicure but I am satisfied with this one.

As usual I started off with white base coat. Then I did water color background and hand painted Tulips with acrylic paint. So what do you think? Let me know on the comment below. I will see you next Friday.

Hello Everyone!!!

Continuing with ABC Challenge, today is the day for "S". Like I said in my last post, its festival season here so I had to make this manicure in last minute. Now those who know me I am sucker for Skulls. So to keep up with the theme I made S for Skulls which just so happen to be cool for Halloween too *wink*

I don't know how I feel about this manicure. In real it look so good. All the colorful skull looked were clear and defined but in images it just look overloaded with oranges and dripping skull? Good thing I made this nail art for Halloween too. I used BP- X13 Stamping plate for the skulls. So what do you think let me know on the comment below. I will see you next Friday.

Hello Everyone!!!

From today onward ( every Friday) we will continue with the ABC Challenge that went on halt for 31DC Challenge. You can see my previous post for ABC Challenge here.We stopped at Letter Q so today is the day for Letter R. For this theme I decided to match a prompt that will be even suitable for the month of October. As we all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. So I decided to R is for Ribbon (Pink). A month long festival started here so I wont be able to paint nails frequently that's why I am gonna mix and match the theme of October and this challenge together.

As usual I started with White base. Than I dabbed three different pink polish on white base with crumbled plastic. Once I was satisfied with the light gradient/smooch background I hand painted the rest of the design.

One thing I always struggle while making freehand manicure is the background. I find it easier working in white base but sometimes the manicure looks bland. Any tips and tricks to create subtle background beside gradient?

I hope you like today's manicure. Let me know on the comment below. I will see you next week.

Hello Everyone!!!

I have yet another Born Pretty Store product to show you today. Its a set of 10 Sheet Water Decals. The product is listed under the ID Code 20698 and is available for $5.00.

http://upbeatnails.blogspot.com/p/isclosure.html

Each sheet of water decals have two design. It is just large enough to cover all your ten nails. You can make 20 easy manicure from this decals. This set has lovely mix of flower, birds, feather, owls, dream catcher and anchor design. I love all of the design.

All of the decals have transparent background. I didn't had any issue at all. They are very simple to use, just cut the size you want, place in cup of water for a few seconds, then the white backing slides off easily. Place the decal on your nail. To smooth out all the creases apply top coat and let the decal dry. Once it is dry, you can then file off any extra decal hanging over the edge and use acetone to clean up excess around the cuticle area. 10 sheet for just $5.00 is a really good deal.

Below are the manicure that I made using these lovely set of water decals. I have mixed and matched several design.

If you want to order these set nail decals or any other products from the Born Pretty Store, feel free to use the coupon code ASXW10 for a 10% discount. You can find these decals here

You can find them on all of the usual social media outlets too, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Born Pretty Store offers free shipping worldwide.
