Nail Art │ Pink Satin Paisley manicure done with Silicone Mat [Tutorial]
Hello, my lovelies! How are you today?
I only have a few minutes to write today, but I really wanted to share this manicure I made for the 26 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge this week. Our challenge prompt was not a "theme" or a colour but a nail art technique. Basically, we could do whatever design we wanted, with whatever colours we preferred, as long as we used a "silicon mat" as a tool in the process of making the nail art. If you are new to nail art, you must be wondering what the heck is this "silicon mat" thing. You might find this tool a bit strange, but a silicon mat has become a must-have for any nail artist. Keep reading to find out why!

Nail art │Love theme nail design using Beautybigbang Chameleon pigments [26GNAI]
Hello, my lovelies! Happy Friday!
Valentine's day has passed but love is still in the air, so today I have a new Love themed nail art design and a new nail art review to share with you. The 26 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge prompted us to create a "love" nail art but not using pink or red. For creating it, I used is a beautiful multichrome loose pigment from BeautyBigBang store*. I show you how this powder changes magically your manicure. I really hope you like it!!
Essence Pigments swatches: the Twilight saga Breaking Dawn Part 2
Here I am again! I wanted to swatch the pigments I bought from The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Essence Collection. I had very few pigments, and do not use them a lot, because I'm not a make up artist or technician, so I usually end up messing the whole thing up! But I thought these were cute and not expensive, and I really should start using pigments more often, that's why I ended up buying the 4 shades of the collection.
To the swatches.
From top to bottom: 
02- Alice Had a vision - Again: Dark plum almost black base withPurple and blue glitter.
03- A piece of Forever: What? It is supposedly light gold pigment
04- Edward's Love: Dark gray base with multicolour glitter.
01- Jacobs protection: Black base with multicolour glitter.
All swatches are on bare skin, no primer, no mosturizer, nada.
Here is a close up picture: 
I'm not pigment expert, but you can see for yourselves these are not great quality. The only worth the 4 CHF I payed each is Jacobs Protection. It applied perfectly with one sweep, without fallout which is a big plus for me. Alice had a vision again is pretty and would probably work well with a primer or base, without it it is a little patchy but there's not terrible fall out or anything.
I regret buying the other two (Edward's Love, and A piece of forever). I don't see how in the world these could be buildable! They're gritty, and A piece of forever evokes more the "Invisible Man" than a Vampire. I'm still trying to figure out what would I do with these...
Pigments are a quite recent add on to the Essence core makeup line (please correct me if I'm wrong!) and to be honest I've never tried those. So this review is not intended to be generalized to all the pigments Essence does.
What do you think? Have you picked any of these pigments yet?
Love,
Nati
