KKCenterHK Review - X&D Full Nail Art Water Decals XD-75

At the end of last year I received a very kind offer from KKCenterHK to review one of their products. They really have so many interesting products, you can spend hours on their web site... :-) 

Of course, the most interesting things for me were nail products :-) and the products that captured my attention were full nail art water decals...  :-) 

I chose X&D Full Nail Art Water Decals XD-75 with a beautiful blue swirl design! :-)

X&D Full Nail Art Water Decals XD-75

X&D Full Nail Art Water Decals XD-75

The packaging contains 10 water decal images in different sizes.

On the back of the packaging there are the instructions.

The procedure is:

1. cleaning the nail surface

2. cutting the image with scissors

3. placing the decal images on the water for 10 seconds

4. taking out the decal image, removing the paper backing

5. placing the decal image on the nail

6. drying with a make up cotton pad and holding water decal image on the nail until it totally dries

7. clipping down to size

8. protecting the decal with top coat

For me it wasn’t so easy like it seems and like I imagined. I had some problems with placing the decal images on my nails, because they had a tendency to slide around.

Also, after adding the topcoat my decal images wrinkled up a little bit.

So after the first nail done I almost wanted to give up trying, I had the impression that I was doing something wrong.. But it happened with the decals on all the other nails, so I think that this is just the way they “work”…

Of course, after 2-3 nails done the result was a little bit better and I became faster, so I guess that “practice makes perfect” :-)

After two layers of top coat I was satisfied with the final result! I think that the result is definitely worth all the patience! Do you agree?

Have you ever tried full water decals? What was your experience in using them?

If you like them but you haven’t tried them yet, you can find these blue swirl decals and many more beautiful full nail art water decals at KKCenterHK.

And, finally, my full nail art water decals manicure... :-)

Born Pretty Store Review: Round Glitters

Two months ago I received a kind offer from Born Pretty Store to review one of their products. My problem was what to choose, they have so many interesting products I wanted to try... :-) 
At the end I chose this one: 12 Color Nail Art Round Shiny Glitter Powder Sheets Tips Tool Manicure.

The package contains 12 different colours of little round glitters, each one in its own little plastic jar. The glitters are very thin, each jar contains so many of them that they will last long, long time, which is great! :-) 

They are suitable for nail art decoration with nail polish, UV builder gel, etc. 

I used them on my natural nails and the application was very simple: after the base colour NYC n° 134 Pinstripe White, I used my usual top coat, while the top coat was still wet I applied my little round glitters and at the end I protected my nail art creation with another layer of top coat! As simple as that! :-)

I will surely use them again, very soon I think, they inspired me for some other interesting nail art creations! :-)

Have you tried these round glitters before? What do you think of them?

If you still haven't tried them, you can find these cute little round glitters at Born Pretty Store. They were kind enough to send me a 10% off coupon code that you can use on any purchase.

And, here is my manicure :-)
