Spring Seashell Nail Art

I didn’t realize how behind on posts I was until I uploaded my pictures and saw I still had St. Patrick’s Day nails on my SD card! I’m also really behind on reading blogs as well.

Today’s nails were centered around some products I received for review from KKCenterHK (More on that later :) ).

 

For the mint green, I used Revlon – Mint, and the pale pink is OPI – I Love Applause. The gold is OPI – Goldeneye. I used gold striping tape on my pinky. The lace pattern on my ring finger was made using a small design brush from KKCenterHK. I took some inspiration from these nails by Lexi Martone.The seashell stud is also from KKCenterHK.

 

I’ve received a lot of compliments on these nails this week. One friend wants the lace design for her prom nails, and most everyone wants the seashell studs.

I was sent these seashell studs from KKCenterHK. I got 4.5 mm in gold, however they also have silver and size 2.5 mm. The amount of compliments I received on them was tremendous!

The brush I was sent was absolutely perfect for the lace design. It has a very fine point to it. Unfortunately, while doing a client’s nails, I went to wipe it clean, and all of the bristles came out completely. Luckily, I added a tiny bit of nail glue to it and stuck it back in. It works just as fine now as it did before. Actually, I think it is more stable now since I know it has such a strong adhesive bond keeping it together.

Mix and Match School Nail Art

Hey all, I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! I’m soaking up the last bit of summer vacation before high school starts on Tuesday. Blah.
I. Hate. High. School.
Cosmo all the way!!

I also painted my neighbors’ nails for their first days of school. They look tooooo cuuuuute! One got tie dye and peace signs and the other got ladybugs because the dress she’s wearing on the first day has ladybugs on it. I hope their nails last for a few days (at least for the first day!)!

So, these are my nails for my first day of school. I’ve been loving mix match nails lately. I went for something simple that wouldn’t bother me if it got messed up when doing other things. This week in cosmetology, I believe we’re doing pedicures and hair washing, so my nails are bound to chip and/or peel. Plus, the weather will soon be colder, which will make my nails on the brittle side.

I’m not sure how I feel about these nails.. I like them, but wish I would have done some of them differently. I do know that I love the polka dot nail!! I think the polka dots and colours really lengthen my nails.

Index: I used Nina Ultra Pro – Gladiator for my base, then used Nina Ultra Pro – Black to add some polka dots.
Middle: I used Orly – Decades Of Dysfunction as my base and Sally Hansen – Set The Stage to top it off.
Ring: I used Finger Paints – Don’t Make A Scene as my base with two coats of Orly – Pink Flakie Topcoat (very hard to see). I used Nina Ultra Pro – Black and Sinful Colors – Hazard to make a bow.
Pinky: Nina Ultra Pro – Black with gold striping tape.
Thumb: Finger Paints – Don’t Make A Scene  with two coats of Orly – Pink Flakie Topcoat.

KKcenterhk Holographic Stud Review

 

I have another review for you all, featuring KKcenterhk’s “N.NAIL Studs Rectangle Laser Purple 5mmX3mm Nail Art Decorations” [NNAIL-DRN657]. To put it simply, they are holographic purple rectangle studs.

To be frank, I thought they would be hard to fit into a design, but it was easier than I though! I just placed them there! Easy as that, and it still looks gorgeous!

For the base behind the studs, I used Nicole by OPI – It’s Alll About The Glam. For my accent nail, I used a base of Wet n Wild – Black Crème, then placed some striping tape down, and added one coat of Sally Hansen – Laser.

I am very pleased with these purple studs KKcenterhk sent me for a review. They look great in the sun or shade, and lay relatively flat on my nails. They stay on pretty well too- I gave my dog a bath today, and they were all intact when I was finished (my nail polish itself, however, was not so fortunate). If you’d like to purchase them, follow this link!
