Black and White Nails - Mollon Pro Hybrid Shine UV Color - Métallique Français

PRESS SAMPLE

Black and White nails will always be trendy nails. While white nails will always be bridal nails or too simple french nails and black nails will always be "too dark" gothic /halloween nails ( don't get me wrong, I LOVE black nails).. black and white nail art will always be perfect..

Unhas com nail art preto e branco estão sempre na moda, são sempre unhas fashion! =P

As unhas com preto e branco são a combinação e equilibrios perfeitos entre o preto e o branco. No branco puro temos as unhas puras, brancas de delicadas como as unhas de noiva e a simplicidade da unha francesa. Por outro lado temos as unhas negras, sempre associadas a unhas a um lado mais dark. Não me interpretem mal, eu amo unhas pretas, com e sem nail art.. mas a combinação das duas é perfeita.

Nail Art On Gel Nails - Glitter and Stamping - Mollon Pro Monophase Sasha

"

Sasha is a unisex given name. It originated in countries of Central, Eastern and Southern Europe as a diminutive of Aleksander and Aleksandra. It is also found as a surname, although this is very rare. Alternative spellings include: Саша (Russian, Serbian), Сашо (Bulgarian), Саше (Macedonian),Saša (Slovenian, Serbian, Croatian, Czech, Slovak, Lithuanian), Sasza (Polish), Сашко (Ukrainian), Sascha (German), Sasja (Dutch and Swedish), and Sacha (French). " [source]

Well this I did not know! Wikipedia is always so helpful! Sasha is the 10th shade on the Monophase Line by Mollon Pro and apparently a diminutive for Alexander (Alexander Skarsgård maybe?? :p). This time I combined it with Mollon Pro Glitter Lacquer Collection ( from the regular nail polish Line). 

Um pouco de trivia sobre as origens do nome Sasha! Aparentemente, e segundo a wikipedia, é um diminutivo de Aleksander ( sou a única a pensar logo em Alexander Skarsgård ?).. Well anyway, o verniz de hoje é o Sasha, da linha de verniz gel monofásico da Mollon combinado com o Mollon Pro Alisa da Linha Mollon Pro Glitter Lacquer.

Kinetics Matte Effect Collection - Swatches and review

PRESS SAMPLE

The new Kinetics Nails Systems nail polish collection is a matte effect collection. This means that all the polishes dry matte, without shine. If you want to revert this, because you really love the color, just apply a top coat. However, the collection is suposed to be matte.. so...

Well.. all the polishes are quite easy to apply, the formula is a bit on the thick side, but this is a common characteristic on matte polish formulas. All polishes took 2 to 3 thin coats. Overall drying time is very fast, less than 5. The polish applies shinny but dries matte, so you can see when it's done.

A nova colecção de vernizes regulares da Kinetics Nails Systems é uma colecção Efeito Matte. Uma colecção efeito matte, sem brilho. Para quem quer um efeito contraste, basta aplicar top coat e fica brilhante. 

Todos os vernizes desta colecão são fáceis de aplicar, a fórmula é um pouco espessa mas aplica-se bem em camadas finas. Todas as cores foram aplicadas em 2 ou 3 camadas finas. O tempo de secagem não ultrapassa os 5 minutos. O verniz quando é aplicado parece brilhante mas ao secar fica matte.
