kkCenterHK Neon Studs Review

Monday, November 25, 2013

Hey guys! Today I have more products from kkCenterHK! This time they sent me three colors of neon nail studs to try! I love their silver studs so I definitely couldn't wait for these.

If you're so antsy and need to check out these items RIGHT NOW, here are the direct links to each of the colors.

I'm obsessed with these studs! I need more colors! They are so easy to apply and because they have a flat back, they stick to your nails easier and they stay on for much longer. I decided I wanted to create simple flowers with these studs. I did that on my accent nail and then on the rest of my nails I added a single stud towards the cuticle. I used Zoya Flynn as a base since it's a nice neutral color that would allow these neon babies to pop!

Hello Kitty Halloween Nails - kkCenterHK Review

Monday, October 28, 2013

Hey guys! Time for a Halloween mani! I'm not going to do a bunch of designs because I think there are so many talented bloggers out there who create perfect Halloween manis for you. I actually wasn't going to do any this year but...I found these cute water decals from kkCenterHK. I also wanted to try out this new nail stamper. I've seen it floating around a few sites and it looked pretty cool.

Belowe are the actual items I received. You can find these on kkCenterHK's website.

N.NAIL Hello Kitty Kitty KT Halloween Ghost Pumpkin Candy $2.56

N.NAIL Ethnic Geometry Stripe Butterfly Soft Stamping $7.79

kkCenterHK - Hello Kitty Water Decals - Rubber Stamper

With every nail art design, I find myself drawn to the JulieG polish. This time is no exception. The colors used here are Beach Bonfire, White Orchid, and Black Sheep. Who says you can't have a Beach Bonfire in the fall? Especially since it's still in the 70s here in Florida!

JulieG Nail Color: Beach Bonfire | White Orchid | Black Sheep

I started out by painting all my nails with 2 coats of Beach Bonfire and I let that completely dry. Here comes the stamping part. These are different than your usual stamping plates and rubger stampers. This is everything all in one and it's quite awesome. Here are the steps:

Make sure your stamper is clean of any oils and debris
Paint your first color over the desired image and blot the excess on a piece of paper
Using a toothpick, pick off the color in the image design where you want to add additional color.
Paint your 2nd color and blot off the excess on a piece of paper.
Gently roll it on your nail just like normal.

Here is the section of water decals I used for this mani. I LOVE these and they are perfect for a cute and simple Halloween manicure. To use these, cut out the section you want. Keep the plastic film on top. Use a cottom swab dipped in water and gently wet the paper backing. The deals should slide right off and you can place them anywhere on your nail. Smooth it down gently and apply a top coat.

Here is the final mani! What do you think? I'm going to have to practice using this stamper but for my first go I think it turned out nice. I'm interested to try out the full nail image. Stay tuned because I'll probably do another post using this.

kkCenterHK: Nail Art Bows and Glitter - Review

Wednesday, September 25, 2013

Hello everyone! Today I have another review for nail art items from kkCenterHK. This time I thought it would be fun to try out some nail art bows. I didn't have any before this one so I wanted to choose a color that was out of my comfort zone and something that I could wear often. Below are the two products I chose and was sent to review.

BLUESEA Bow Shaped Pink White Yellow Nail Art Decorations

EBALAY Nobility Gold Shiny Glitter Nail Polish

Anytime I do nail art, I always end up choosing a JulieG Nail color. Is that a coincidence? Probably not. This time I chose to use Shoe-A-Holic as a base. It is a slightly darker pink that what is on the bows and it's also a good base for the gold and while glitters in this glitter polish.

So, I started out with 2 coats of Shoe-A-Holic. I applied the glitter topper with just 1 coat. This topper container white hexes of different sizes, white bar glitters, gold hexes, and multidimensional purple glitters. It is sort of a thick polish, but it applied real smooth and the glitter to base ratio isn't too bad.

For my ring finger, accent finger, I applied a top coat and then gently applied the 3D nail art bow. It stuck to my nail just fine with top coat, but if you want to make sure it stays on, you can also apply it with nail glue.

When the glitter polish has dried, apply the top coat on top of that and you're done!

I really enjoyed these two products. The quality is there and it's really fricking adorable! I don't own a glitter topper like this one so I'll probably be using it quite often.
