Breast Cancer Awareness Week - Pink Nails Day One

I am taking part in this challenge as organised by Kerrie Black of Pishposhandpolish. We are doing this challenge over five days (Monday to Friday).
For this I thought I would try the waterfall nails as made popular by Sammy of The Nailasaurus.  My strokes weren't long enough and I think my nail bed is too long. I will have to have another go at this technique and make sure I use longer strokes.
Items Used:
Nails Inc - Elizabeth Street - pale pink for the base
for the waterfall effect:
Nails Inc - Eccleston Mews - dark pink
China Glaze - Pool Party - Neon
OPI - La paz-itively Hot - medium pink
Seche Vite top coat

Water Decals and Nail Studs from Aliexpress

I have some decals to show you today (will do a swatch post with them soon).  I had wanted some of these for a while and I had researched all sorts of different stores online to buy from.  In the end, even though reviews for this site were mixed and some quite negative, I took the plunge and ordered me some decals from Aliexpress.com.  From placing the order to delivery it took 13-14 days for my order to arrive.  I am so happy for the fast shipment, packaging and delivery and also the products.  The communication with the seller was fantastic and very helpful.
I have to say I also placed an order with another UK based online store about two weeks earlier than Aliexpress (9 September) and I am still waiting for delivery!
Onto the products I ordered for a total of about £15 ($25 US)-:
Great packaging
Letter Crown Anchor Nail Water Decals (pk 20)
Metallic Gold & Black Zipper Nail Water Decals (pk 20)
Oriental Floral Geisha Girls Nail Water Decals (pk 20)
1000pcs Round Multi Coloured Metal Studs (2 pks)
I will definitely be ordering from Aliexpress again.  Have you ordered from them, what did you think?
