¡Hola!

Here is my mani for Sundays Challenge I did this for the Facebook group:  Adventures In Stamping:

The challenge for today is to combine another technique with nail stamping, such as water marbling, gradient, etc.  I used the Baggie Method which I explain here.  The Baggie Method is similar to Saran Wrap Method the only this is that I use plastic grocery baggies. 

Here is my video on how to make this mani: 



What did I use?

1.  Duri Rejuvacote
2. China Glaze Kinetic Candy
3.  China Glaze Shocking Pink
4.  China Glaze White on White
5.  China Glaze Sweet hook
6.  China Glaze Virtual Violet
7.  Pueen Plate 65
8.  Seche Vite Top Coat
9.  Cut squares from a plastic Baggie

I hope you guys enjoy!

Happy Stamping!

Duri Rejuvacote 1 Nail Growth System

¡Hola!

I have been trying Duri Rejuvacote for three months now, and I am very happy with the results.
Some of my nail buddies on Instagram recommended me this nail growth product.  I purchased it on Ebay for around $8. 

What is Duri Rejuvacote?
Its a nail growth product.  The following is the description is written on their packaging:  Rejuvacote the nail doctor will heal and cure your spilt, cracked and acrylic eaten nails.  In a mater of weeks you will enjoy the look and feel of strong, vital, natural nails.  It also says: From dying nails to nails to die for.

I decided to try it out, because my nails were weak, thin and were splitting a lot.  I really see a difference since using Duri Rejuvacote, my nails have grown longer, stronger and the splitting has stop.   Many people on Instagram have seen the difference too and I owe it to Duri Rejuvacote.  I followed the direction on the box and have used Duri Rejuvacote under all my manicures as my base coat. 

Here are some pics:

The beginning:  

Here I cut all my nails down and began using Duri Rejuvacote.

I started December 23, 2013

First week

 Second Week

1st Month

 2nd Month

 3er Month

Here are my naked nails after three months of using Duri Rejuvacote.

I am so happy with this product!  I am so amazed to see it worked for me!  The only negative thing was that it makes my cuticles very dry, so I must apply more cuticle oil.  Please remember it might not work for you, but it won't hurt to try! :) 

What nail growth product or strengthener do you use?  Have you tried Duri Rejucacote? Let me know in the comments below!

¡Hasta Luego Bye! 



China Glaze Surprise Collection: Swatches

¡Hola!

I hope your having a great day!  Yesterday I visited my local Sally Beauty Supply and they had a new China Glaze display up.  It's called Surprise and what a surprise it is... finding this beautiful collection! I read on a few blogs that this collection is suppose to be out in April, so I guess I was lucky my Sally's had it out on display earlier.  This collection has 6 fun glitter combos! Sally Beauty Supply is currently having a BOGO Sale on China Glaze all month long! (Buy 1 Get 1 Free) I couldn't say No to a good deal, so I just had to purchase them all!  Look at the swatches:

1.  Glimmer More

I applied it over Zoya Chantal & used stamping plate LC-18.

2.  Create A Spark

I applied it over China Glaze Petal to The Metal & used stamping plate LC-18.

3. Glitter Up

I applied it over China Glaze Lemon Fiz & used stamping plate QA46.

4.  Shine-nanigans

I applied it over Rimmel I Lilac You and stamping plate QA40.

5.  I'm A Go Glitter

I appied it over Rimmel Mintilicious and used stamping plate QA40.

6.  Don't Be A Flake

I applied it over OPI My boyfriend Scales Walls and used stamping plate QA12.

What do you think? Aren't they so cool?!  I just love neon glitters, plus the combo of matte glitter and shiny glitters.  Wow, they are beautiful!  They weren't difficult to apply.  Like most glitter you do have to fish them out of the bottle to apply them evenly where you want to on the nail, but I am okay with that.

I hope you enjoy my swatches!  If you have a Sally's Nearby don't forget to drop in and see if the collection has arrived.   

¡Hasta Luego!
