Essence Gel Nails at Home "Old" LED Lamp


Hi Girls,

I FOUND IT!! I managed to buy the old version of Essence's LED Lamp.
As you already know I also own the little newer one.

In this post I'd like to expose my first impressions about the bigger version.

So, this NEW baby has 28 little LED lamps and a power of maximum 3W., while the little one has only one LED lamp of 2W I guess. Another difference is the timer: in the bigger one there is a 60 sec timer, while in the little one only 10 sec.

As soon as I bought it, of course, I went home to try it out.

I decided to make a French nail art and after the first layer of Gel I can surely tell you that I prefere the bigger one. The reason is that the gel doesn't shrink on the sides of the nails, as It does with the little one. Maybe it's because of the opening on the sides of the little lamp, while the bigger one is just like a professional lamp.

My conclusion would be to buy the little one if you travel a lot and you still want to do your nails during vacancy. 

But if you are looking for an everyday lamp, than I recommend to buy the old version, cause, to me, it seals better than the little one.


This is it! 

Here the lamp and my nail art 😊




(I decided to stamp a little butterfly. This one is from Pueencosmetics Encore Stamping Plate Set)

Pueen Cosmetics Encore Plate Collection




Hi Girls!

It's been a long time since I wrote last, mainly because we are moving into our new house, so you can just imagine the stress I'm having.
I can't wait to decorate it, because I will get my very first NAIL POLISH RACK *yaaaaay*
So finally all of my nail polishes, and I assure you that I have loads of them, will have their own tiny little space :)
But now let's ger back to the post.
Last month I participated on "Pueen Cosmetics Stamping Contest" and, as many other participants, I won!
Even though I wasn't #1 winner, Pueen decided to giveaway 20$ Giftcards.
 I got my Code today and of course I couldn't wait to use it.
I decided to order their new Stamping Plate Collection called "Encore".
The set is composed of 4 plates which are double sided. This means that they have images on both sides, which I think is a very clever idea.
Each plate measures 10cm x 10cm and is bordered with a plastic frame (which gets soft when you clean the plate with acetone, but gets back hard once it's dried) to prevent from cutting with the edges of the plates.
They also come with an individual leather case for storage and display.
Finally the set is available on their website Pueencosmetics.com and you can order them for 24.99$ or 18,37€ plus shipping.
I can't wait to get them and start stamping as wild!
But for now I'm leaving you with an image of the plates.
Let me know if you would like to have a review on them and I'll post it on Youtube as soon as they'll arrive.




Bye girls!

Romantic Roses Nailart




Hi girls!

Here I am again with a new post, a new Nail Art and....... a new Video!

I think this is a very simple and romantic Nail Art which you can simply recreate with any color of your choice.

I also reccomend you to buy Essence's "Be Berry Now!" Naillacquer, it's a beautiful pinky-red color. I can't  even tell how beautiful it is! I'm sooo in LOVE with it.

Enough talking! I'll link the Video down below so that you can just see how to do it :D

I hope you like it and feel free to comment down below for any informations or questions.

Laceflower Nail Art


Hi Girls!

I'm uploading a new Video, Yay!!!

The title says it: it's going to be a super easy and cute Lace and Flowers stamping Nail Art Tutorial.

As you probably know I LOVE STAMPING! It's soooo easy to use and you can create such beautiful manis like a Pro. I fell in love with stamping in 2010 and since then I've done thousands and thousands of designs.
I like changing my nails every week, because I become tired very soon, that's also the reason why I don't like Gel or Acrylic Nails. Once you got them, and since you spend loads of money, you have to wear them almost for a month.You may think "She doesn't like Gelnails, but she uses Gelpolish?!" That's true, because Essence's Gelnails at home is like a regular polish which you can just simply peel off once you're tired, without scraping your nails to death. And that's the reason why I prefer Gelpolish to Gelnails.

Now to the mani. Here's what you'll need:

♥ Your favourite Basecoat
♥ A colored polish of your choice (I used Maybelline's Color Show " 77 Nebline")
♥ A stamping polish of your choice (Mine is Essence's "Happy End")
♥ Pueencosmetics' plate #pueen28
♥ Glitterpolish that matches your Basecolor (I used Essence's "Party Princess")
♥ Clear Gelpolish and Cleanser or regular Topcoat
♥ UV Lamp ( if you use Gelpolish)

Celtic Heart-knot Nail art Tutorial





Hi Girls,

I uploaded my second video in which I will show you how to recreate this super easy stamping nail art using Bundle Monster's stamping plate bm406.
You can use any color you like, I used Essence's "Over the Rainbow" and stamped with Avon's "Twilight Blue", because of the wavy design which reminds me of the sea. I also think that it looks prettier if you use two shades of the same color, but you can do it as you like.

For those of you who are new to the wonderful world of Nail Stamping, you can find Bundle Monster's plates on Amazon or on their website.

Here are the links:

Amazon:

Bundle Monster's Website:

For those of you who want to order the plates from Italy notice that they don't ship directly from their Website, that's because they are having trouble at the Custom, but you can still order them from Amazon, where you can also find loads and loads of other brands, who sell image plates.

I hope you like the video and excuse my bad and ruined hands, but my job kills them :(

Review: Essence Gel Nails at Home


Hi girls!

So, I've decided to open a Blog, where I will try to review nail products and to post some nailart tutorials. I'll try my best, so be nice and sorry for my english :p

In my first post I want to talk about the "Essence gel nails at home" lamp and it's products.
I purchased the mini lamp, which cost me 19,95€, the cleanser and the clear gel top coat. There is also a Peel off base, but I managed to peel off the polish even without the special base - it only takes a little patience.

The essence flyer says that the polish will last up to 10 days. That's true if you do not work with water or any liquid stuff which will ruin your upper nail part. But, I'm still satisfied with this set, because I change my nails pretty often and I don't like to put on "real" gel since it ruins your nails and it would also be a waste of money. So for those of you who want to have lasting nails with the possibility to change it as often as you want, I recommend this set, because it's inexpensive and simple to use. All you need is the "peel off base" if you decide to buy it, your preferred nailpolish (it doesn't have to be essence, I used other brands and they work), the LED lamp, the clear top coat and the cleanser.

So this is how I do it: First I apply my base coat and when it's dry I paint my nails and let them dry completely for 30 minutes, sometimes 1-2h. Then I usually stamp on some cute images with the konad stamping method and finally I paint on my clear gel top coat and put it under the lamp for 30sec (the mini LED lamp lightens for 10sec, so I press the button 3 times). Last but not least I put some cleanser on a cotton pad and get off the greasy layer.

And....Finish! I't soooo simple and affordable :)
