Winstonia Designer Nail Wraps: Galaxy Far Far Away

Monday, May 19, 2014

*Sent for a review
¡Hola!
Look at these cool nail wraps from Winstonia Store.  They were so kind to send them out for me to try out!  These are their new Designer Nail Wraps called Galaxy Far Far Away:

To be honest I love them and it's the first time I try out nail wraps.  I had never applied any type of nail wraps.  I thought I was going to ruin them, but I didn't!  They are very easy to apply! Just follow the directions on the package.

Here are the steps:

1.  Clean your nails using nail polish remover/acetone.  Push back cuticle and file your nails to desired shape.

2.  Apply your favorite base coat and wait until it dries..  I applied Duri Rejuvacote. 

3.  Choose nail wrap size that fits your nails. 


4.  Peel off the chosen nail wrap from the sheet.



5.  Apply round side against cuticle.  Gently position onto nail.  Remove and re-apply for better position if necessary.  Be Careful not to re-apply too many times or nail wrap will lose it adhesive.




6.  Firmly flatten the nail wrap starting from cuticle until all bubbles are removed and nail wrap is completely flat.


7.  Use the nail file to remove excess nail wrap.  File gently in one direction with a downward motion.  



8.  Do all nails using all the step above.


9.  Apply top coat to seal and protect your nail wraps.  I used Seche Vite Top coat. 



Here is a picture of the package:




Before I go... you know me... I have to stamp! lol  I used Winstonia plate W217 and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep to add a magical unicorn to my Galaxy nails! Isn't it cute?


The package says that they are tested to last up to 14 Days.  I will be MIA for almost two weeks.  I am heading off to Orlando tomorrow and these magical galaxy nails will be my vacation mani.  I really hope they last, because I know I won't have much time to do my nails. 

I hope you guys enjoyed my post! 

Take Care & Happy Stamping!

Jelly Nail Stamping Sandwich

Thursday, May 15, 2014

¡Hola!


Today I am going to show you guys how to create this mani:


I will call it a Jelly Nail Stamping Sandwich.

What is a Jelly Polish?

It's a polish that has a translucent finish to it.  Almost looks like jello or a jelly bean.

What is a Jelly Sandwich?

It's like making a sandwich where you place your two pieces of bread and all the yummy ingredients inside. In this case your bread would be your polish.  Jelly Sandwiches are usually done with glitter but in this case you can also use nail stamping.  First you apply polish, then your stamping, a coat of polish and finish with another layer of stamping. 

It's very simple to do! Watch my video:


What did I use?

1.  Duri Rejuvacote Base Coat
2.  Colores de Carol Beach Party which you can purchase here.
3.  Cheeky Jumbo plate 2
4.  Konad white
5.  Black and White Squishy Stamper
6.  Seche Vite

I hope you guys enjoy my tutorial!

Happy Stamping!

Let's Talk about Black & White Squishy Stampers!

¡Hola!

I get so many questions about my B&W Squishy Stampers that I made two videos for you guys!  One where I explain there are many types of B&W Stampers, plus a video on how to prime them.

I personally have four stampers made out of different materials, but they all work great.  When ordering please keep in mind that you might get a different stamper, so its always better to buy a few and or from different sellers.  It never a bad idea to have too many stampers!  When you have a problem with a certain plate just switch and try a different stamper!

Here is the first video where I explain a little about B&W Stampers:


It's easy to prime a stamper!  Don't worry in a matter of minutes you will have a working stamper!  Check this video out!:



I hope you enjoyed my videos!  Have any tips you want to add?  Just add them down below! Its fun to share tips and tricks with everyone!  That's what we are here for to help each other!


Where did I purchase the stampers I mention?

I will list where I purchased them... BUT** Please keep in mind you might receive a different type of stamper.

1 & 2 STAMPERS MENTION: I purchase from SAME Ebay Seller:
