Rose water decals

Hello~ :) Woohoo, I've finally finished exams and am ready to party haha ♥ I wore this mani into my exam and was constantly distracted by it...good thing it was an easy exam :P The full nail water decals are from Viva la nails and part of the blogger sample pack I received awhile ago.

I spent waaay too much time trying to get the water decals to work though, they just refused to dry and stick onto my nails! :( And on top of that, I ruined my pinky one and had to make do with left over decals. Because of the oopsies I made, I used some rhinestones and bullion beads I received from Born Pretty Store - a nail art etailer - to cover them up. I loove the rhinestones, they're so easy to use :)

And a picture of the rhinestone wheel. My favourite has got to be the beautiful light blue under the purple rhinestones on the left. It seriously flashes so many colours ♥

Alluring courage

Hi~ :) I'm lame and decided to combine the two polish names to create my post title. Hopefully my mani sort of redeems this post :P. I was in one of those 'I dunno what to wear but want to polish my nails' mood and so opted to go with a shade which I have the most number of polishes - purple. Actually, I've never counted but I'm assuming I have more purple than any other shade since I'm a purple lover. Maybe that's something I can do next time I'm bored...hehe :P.

So anyway. Below I have two coats of Ulta3 Allure on my nails and China Glaze C-c-courage on my thumb and fourth finger. C-c-courage was the very first China Glaze polish I ever wore and it also made its debut in my first and second posts of this blog :).

I applied a nail sticker which I received from Born Pretty Store and added a rhinestone and pearl to my middle finger. I quite like how this mani turned out, despite having no idea what to do in the first place!

What do you think of the mani? And more importantly, are you a purple lover? :D

When you're in a rush...

**Thank you blogger, for eating this post up :(. At least it wasn't totally deleted though...**

Hey everyone~ Suede/matte polishes are such useful polishes when you're short for time. They dry extremely quickly and are pretty easy to apply.

Below I have two coats of OPI Lincoln park after dark suede and Zoya Harlow.

Wanting to spice things up, I then added some nail stickers I received from Born Pretty Store.

I finished the mani with a top coat to protect the stickers. Unfortunately they didn't stay on too well this time. This mani didn't even last a day without some of the stickers falling off.

What do you think? Do the polishes look better suede/matte or glossy? ^^ And have a look at my Thank you-Sorry giveaway :) here if you haven't already!

Random nail art with nail stickers~

Hey everyone~^^ I was feeling really random the other day and so tried out some of the nail stickers I received from Born Pretty Store awhile ago.

I applied two coats of Misa Office polish-tics on to my fourth finger and OPI Siberian nights on to my other nails. The flower nail stickers were randomly stuck on and I added a rhinestone to my middle finger. I used the bullion beads to make a design around a pearl before sealing them all with a top coat. I'm not sure I like this, but I don't hate it.

The nail stickers held on well for the 1 1/2 day I had this manicure. The bullion beads however, didn't stay on for long. By the end of the first day, some of them had already fallen off. I'm not sure if it's my lack of experience with them which affected this though, so I might review them again another time.

Checked out my Thank you-Sorry giveaway :) here yet? ^^

Born Pretty Store pretties

Hello~ This is a scheduled post, as you read this I'm probably on my way to camp for the long weekend :). I'm excited to say that I recently received some products from Born Pretty Store to review. The online store is dedicated to stocking mani nail art and other nail related items. They also stock beauty and make up related items so do check it out if you're interested :)

The products I received are:
12 Color 3D Steel Ball Nail Art Glitter Decoration
10 x Flower 3D Nail Art Tips Decals Stickers Manicure
Glitter Silver Line Nail Art Tip Decoration Striping Tape Glue

I thought I'd try out the striping tape first and here's my result. The base polish is China Glaze Wagon trail. Top picture was taken indoors under natural light, the second under the sun. I quite liked how the striping tape added something more to my mani although you can see my inexperience by the dodgy cutting haha. The striping tape stayed on quite well for the two days I wore this mani. I love that they are so simple to use once you're more used to them, I think I'll be ordering some more!

The above product was provided to me for a review. This has in no way influenced my opinion and I have stated my honest thoughts on the product. For more information, please see my disclosure policy.
