Purple Rainbow Water Decal - 13 September 2015

A dark yet bright purple manicure here.  I used a full nail water decal on the ring finger, added some metal nail studs to the other nails to bling it up a little. Voila...

Mint and Rose Decal Skittlette - 17 June 2015

Another manicure using water decals.  This time I've used full nail decals.  But being the frugal being that I am, I've managed to get one and a half nails out of one decal, how cool is that.  So many times I see ladies use the whole decal on one nail and half of it is just filed off, what a waste.

Nope, not me though, I measured out what I needed for the full nail, then cut the rest to shape and used it to do a french nail on the middle finger.  Again I used some nail studs to finish off the look.

I did not take pics of the nail polish I used, but I think for the pinkie it is Minted by Sally Hansen.

Orange Gradient and Rose Water Decals - 15 June 2015

Back on catch up from mid year.  I did these lovely orange nails way back in June.

The gradient nails are just on the two accent nails. I apply a base coat of white, top it with SV then do the gradient.  Then over the top of them some rose water decals.  Some nails studs on the other nails to finish off the manicure.  Nice and bright and summery. Loved it on.

This sheet of nail decals had a total of 11 designs and colours.  Has lasted ages and look, so much more to use.

Sparkly Nails - Lace Wheel Water Decals Review

At the weekend I got some gorgeous Lace Wheel Water Decals in the post from Sparkly Nails to review. There are 20 pieces in all, (10 black and 10 white).  They retail at £1.65 and UK standard postage is only £1.50.

As other decals I have used before, these were just as easy to apply.  I simply painted my nails (or rather sponged my nails, using my new KIKO blues and Sally Hansen).  I waited a few minutes, cut out the decals, dipped in water and applied to my nails, top coat of SV and some gems on the other nails and viola!

I must add I am quite frugal and decided to use them as an accent on my gradient nails.  I went for the white pattern.

Nail art has never been simpler and quicker.  Love these decals**.

Born Pretty Store - Multi Shape and Colour Studs/Rhinestones

This is number three of the three reviews I have for the Born Pretty Store.

This review is for some lovely pastel studs/rhinestones, items number ID: 12408.  The wheel has 300 studs/rhinestones in three colours and 4 shapes and sizes, how great is that.  A huge amount of nail art possibilities with these beauties.

I choose to do a kind of skittlette manicure to show them off.  I choose polishes matching the three colours in the wheel.  I randomly sponged them on and applied the studs/rhinestones.

Without further a do, here is my manicure.

Another Nail Stud, Nail Decal/Sticker Haul

I got another surprise in the post today.  Yay :)

I ordered me some more nail goodies a few weeks back and they finally turned up today.

And some gifts with my order too.

Now I need a lot more time to be able to put these goodies to use.  Roll on Easter and end of term so that I can. 

Born Pretty Store - White Nail Studs - Review

So here is one of three reviews I have for the Born Pretty Store.

This review is for a pack of 200Pcs 2.5mm Colorful Mini Square Patterned Studs - itemID: 12419. I chose the white studs 3865-2 for my selection. They retail at $2.22 USD or £1.33 and there is a choice of 12 colours.

I chose the white ones mainly so I could see if I could paint them with nail polish and I must say it was a little fiddly but the end result worked great.  

As you can see in this manicure I painted two of the studs with silver nail polish and  I must say the polish went on them pretty easily.  The studs were stuck down with a blob of clear polish and then a generous coat of Seche Vite on top.  I also used one of my many untried nail polishes - this particular one by Revlon I bought about two months ago from Fragrance Direct.  Isn't it pretty?  The nail art idea I got while browsing the Internet from ChitChatNails.
