MilvArt Red Metal Decals

Hi lovelies!

It's time for some more MilvArt decals! This time I have some gorgeous red metal decals - F141 - in a few different patterns:

MilvArt Cute Spring Water Decals

Hi lovelies!

Last week I showed you these beautiful gold foil water decals and today I have the cutest spring mani with design N-879. 

Incidental Twin "Tiny Alpha" and MilvArt Geometric Water Decals

Hello lovelies!

I have two separate product reviews in one post today, which sounds like a matter of efficiency (or laziness), but actually happened for the sole reason, that the two products just went beautifully together! Take a look to find out what I mean: 

Lady Queen Abstract Water Decals

Hello lovelies!

Today I have some full nail wrapping water decals from Lady Queen for you. I chose number 1575, because I fell in love with the colour/design combo!

Owls, Flowers & Lots of Pink!

Hi lovelies!

Did a fun mani today!

This was very simple. The owl is a decal from BPS, which has a clear background, so I put it over two coats of Sinful Colors "Snow Me White". The other nails have a base of Rimmel "Funtime Fuchsia", 2 coats. Then I grabbed stamping plate BP-78 and BPS baby pink stamping polish and voilà! Top coat and done. I really recommend this stamping polish, it stamps super easily!

The pics have all been taken in my lightbox, as the entire day was so dreary, that there simply wasn't enough light! This mani sure improved my day, though ;) Oh  if you want to go and get these pretties, be sure to use discount coupon code SXDQ10 at checkout!

So what do you think? Do you like my decal-stamp combo?

Residual Halloween Manis - Oops!

Hello lovelies!

I meant to post these Friday and Saturday, in time for and on the time of Halloween, but both days I was not feeling well at all, so I couldn't muster up the strength to post these. Therefore I'll show them now and perhaps you can use them as inspiration for next year! 

Let's start with a mani that was loosely inspired by Cosmetic Sanctuary. I did not have her awesome vinyls or her awesome nail charm (I ordered one, but it hasn't arrived yet), so I created this:

Lady Queen Halloween Decals

Hello lovelies!

A while ago, I was approached by webshop LadyQueen and they asked me to review some of their products. They offer a wide variety of nail art items, including lots of Halloween stuff, so I went kinda nuts in that area! Today I have some of their super cool water decals to show you:

Halloween Decals - Mix 'n Match

Hi lovelies!

Recently BPS had a water decal super sale, so I got some plaid designed ones and one of the five patterns was orange and purple - Halloween colours! So I paired them with actual halloween decals and this is the result!

Friends on Friday - Decals & Doodles

Hello lovelies!

Did my friend's and my sister's nails :) Let's start with my sister, for whom I used BPS decals that I have previously showed you; I just knew she was going to love them!

BPS Sunset water decals

Hi lovelies!

Today I have more water decals from bornprettystore.com to show. Remember last week's? Using the same tools as last time, I applied these beautiful sunset water decals. Unfortunately I have not been feeling well today (girl trouble means migraines in my case), so it did not quite turn out the way I wanted, but at least I did something productive today ;)

Water decals & tools from BornPrettyStore.com!

Hello lovelies!

Some goodies from bornprettystore.com are here to feast your eyes on! They're tools and decals for awesome manicures:

Ganapati & LynBDesigns "I'm not myself, you see"

Hello lovelies!

Today happens to be the birthday of one of my friends from India, thus she is beginning a new cycle around the Sun. This inspired me to post this today, since today's mani features Ganapati, god of many good things and especially good beginnings. 

Girly floral NailThins

Hello lovelies!

A while back, I won these floral NailThins from Pretty Darn Nails! (Speaking of which.. Did you enter my giveaways yet?! GO GO GO!) I created this cute mani with them:

The Hundredth Post - Celebrating with Preenification Nail Art Water Slide Decals review :) [very pic heavy]

Hello lovelies and welcome for our one hundredth blog post!

We hereby present you Preenification's Nail Art Water Slide Decals!

A while ago, Preenification posted on instagram that she was looking for nail bloggers to try out her nail decals, so I did not have to think twice! Yes please, pretty pretty! So she sent me 5 sets to try out:

Exciting! So I started thinking up designs. The decals come with instructions and are really easy to use. You cut them out, soak them in water for half a minute and lift them carefully off the paper. I used a pair of tweezers to do that and place them on the nails. Make sure your base of nail polish is completely dry before placing on the decals. Then seal them with a layer of top coat. Here goes!

 676

 Catrice "Aretha's R-E-S-P-I-N-K" with Essence "Alpha Better Gamma" and Etos white sponged on.

Although soooo pretty, The decals didn't pop because I used white as the base. I tried again over a dark base, so that you can really see the decals in all their beauty :) This is Essence "Prom-berry" with "Cool Breeze" (swatches here):

172

 This is Rimmel "Sky High" with dotticure in various colours.

Or, just the decals:

SY - 189

A ruffian with Essence "Prom-berry" and "Hello Marshmallow!"

Catrice "Hugo Moss"

 Our frankened polish "Pocahontas", Aretha's R-E-S-P-I-N-K and 

Essence "Upper Green Side"

The beauty of the decals w.r.t. stickers is that they are so thin, they blend into the design as if painted on. It is beautiful. A nice and quick way to prettify your nails! The best way for these decals to pop is to think about the background colour; when too similar, the decals will fade into the background colour. This almost happened in my first design..

I had so much fun with these! They are specifically designed for nails, each decal will fit perfectly while enhancing the shape and length of you nail. PERFECT!

You can buy them here (the ones I reviewed will be up soon). 

This is her instagram page for more pretty pictures and she is setting up a Youtube channel and a website up too! She ships worldwide (while based in the UK) and since the decals are really lightweight, it won't cost much :) With one set of decals, you can decorate 20 nails. They're 2 pounds, or 2.50 euros or 3 USD! Cheap and easy DIY nail art :)

I had a great time with these and I hope to review more in the future!
