So recently Mitty sent me some nail art products to test and review for them. The first product that I reviewed was one of their Super Chrome nail powders, which looked absolutely stunning. The second product that I decided to review was one of their nail art brushes. This is the first design that I created with the brush that they sent me:




I like to do designs that require a lot of fine lines and detail, so I picked one that had a very short and fine tip. I chose the brush Peachy 000 and I was blown away by how fine this brush is! The brush tip is about 5mm long and about 1.5mm wide. It was absolutely perfect for fine details! And, the brush is made from responsibly sourced cyprus pine. I definitely intend on using this brush for more of my future designs.

Hey guys! So recently I won an Instagram giveaway to test out some nail products by Mitty. I ended up picking out one of their Super Chrome nail powders and a nail art brush (which will be in a future post).

The Super Chrome that I really wanted to try out was the colour Grape Topaz. It took about a month to get to me, which honestly isn't that bad considering that it had to travel all the way from Australia to Canada!

At first I thought that the container was small with not that much powder inside, but a little goes a long way. I barely made a dent after doing a full set of nails, so you would definitely have enough for several applications.


Application is very easy. Base coat, black nail polish, a no-wipe gel top coat, buff the powder in with the eyeshadow applicators provided, then seal in with more gel top coat.

Some tips though, if you're not familiar with using gel top coats or using nail powders:

• Be careful to not flood your cuticles with the gel top coat! Some of us may be a little lazy with cleaning our cuticles after applying nail polish. Sometimes I just wait until I shower, then pick off the dried nail polish from my skin when the skin softens. Don't do this! Gel nail polish dries differently than normal polish. Once you start peeling the polish from your skin, it will continue to lift and peel off of your nails!
• Wrap the tips of your nails while using your polish and powder. White tips don't look good, and it made the polish more prone to peeling.
• Black nail polish is the best base colour to use. I did try testing out a white base on one nail on my other hand, but it basically looked like a dulled down version of the nails you see above.

Hey guys! So if you're a regular on my blog, you'll see that I've been reviewing some products from Beauty Big Bang lately. They're a Chinese nail art company that offers a wide variety of nail art tools and supplies. They're pretty new to the nail art industry and offer some pretty decent competition against other nail art retailers such as Born Pretty Store, Whats Up Nails, and Twinkled T. One of my favourite features about this retailer is how they offer free shipping worldwide! Not a lot of retailers offer that to countries outside of the US, so this is a main selling point for a Canadian like me.
 
One of the three products that I chose to test and review were these stunning chameleon flakes (product ID#J2105-1C). This is my favourite product that I received from Beauty Big Bang. The flakes look iridescent inside of the packaging, but when you apply them over a black nail polish they become multicolour and shift from green, to yellow and orange depending on the angles of light that hit them.


I also really like how you don't need gel polish to apply this product. You can apply it over regular polish that is slightly tacky. When dry, you seal it with a top coat and it becomes smooth to the touch. I was really surprised by this because I've had shattered glass nails before where the coloured flakes start peeling after a day.


You can also try a more concentrated look with the flakes if you buff them onto your tacky polish. When you wear them this way the effect is really cool! It almost looks like dragon eggs or snake skin. While I preferred the scattered effect on my nails, both methods of wear look pretty darn gorgeous.



Honestly, I was so freaking in love with these chameleon flakes. I would love to try some of their other colours because I couldn't stop staring at my nails when I wore these.

In mid-August, a company called Beauty Big Bang contacted me to test and review some products for you guys. They're still relatively new to the nail art industry, but they're already providing some pretty tough competition against other nail art retailers such as Born Pretty Store, Twinkled T, and Whats Up Nails.

Like Born Pretty Store, Beauty Big Bang is based in China. Products can take awhile to ship, but it only took about a month and a half for the products to arrive for me. That may seem like a long time but other Chinese retailers have had me wait 2-3 months at a time for purchases to arrive so the wait wasn't that bad.


One of the products that I chose to receive were these stunning gold flakes. These flakes (product ID#J2430-GD) currently retail for $3.73CAD and come in gold and silver. They also do not require gel polish to apply as most flakes and powders on the market do. All of Beauty Big Bang's flakes and powders come with a small eyeshadow applicator sponge to apply the product with. I applied my black base, then put a thin coat of topcoat on and waited for it to get tacky, then lightly tapped the flakes onto the nail to get this scattered look.



I loved wearing these gold flakes and felt like a total diva while wearing them. If you want to check out Beauty Big Bang's products, be sure to check out their site!

Hey guys! So around mid-August, a company called Beauty Big Bang contacted me to test and review some of their nail art products for you guys. I'm so excited to share this company with you. If you like sites like Twinkled T, Whats Up Nails, or Born Pretty Store, then you will love Beauty Big Bang. They offer many inexpensive nail art supplies as well as free worldwide shipping. They let me pick 3-4 products for under $12, and this week I'll be posting separate reviews for the 3 products that I chose.

The first product that I chose to review was this beautiful crystal nail art brush in white (product ID #67155-1A). Right now the brush retails at $5.47CAD, which is a strong competition against the brushes sold by Twinkled T and other retailers. Because Beauty Big Bang offers free shipping, I would hands down recommend this product. Not many nail art sites offer free shipping for countries outside of the US, so if you live in Canada or anywhere else like me, then this is a total bargain! Plus, I've had to wait 2-3 months at a time for nail art supplies from Born Pretty Store (which like Beauty Big Bang, is a Chinese located company). Shipping was only about a month and a half for Beauty Big Bang.
Clean up brushes are essential for any great manicure. A wide tipped brush is excellent for getting into any nooks or crannies around your cuticles to provide a clean and flawless look. Cotton swabs can't get close to the nail without strands of cotton rubbing against the nail and ruining your mani. Nail art brushes are the best for cleaning up your nails, and this brush is so unbelievably cute because of all the rhinestones in it! I mean, just look at this beauty:


I hope that you all enjoyed my review. If you liked it, or are interested in learning more about the other products that I received from Beauty Big Bang, then be sure to check out my other reviews for the company that I will be posting this week.
