kkcenterhk Love Black and White Water Decals

Hi lovelies!

I know, I know, it’s been quite some time that I was not able to post anything on this blog. And I’m sorry for the very long wait. My travel to and from work is killing me, that whenever I get to have time off, I’d rather lie in bed the whole day. Anyway, I’d still like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who stayed in this blog. Thank you.

For today, I wanted to show you some reviews. A couple of months ago, I received some nail art implements. As you all would have notices, I have never tried nail decals. All my designs have been hand painted. So imagine my excitement when I received a card saying that I have a parcel waiting for me in the post office. I was expecting about 2 or 3 nail decals. Much to my delight, when I opened the envelope, I was welcomed by not 2 or 3 nail designs, but 8 of them! Yes, you read it right, eight. I had a face-splitting grin.

Then I have this Bow Button Knot water decals. It consists of 10 black and 10 white “shoe-lace” like water decals. The photo does not capture the white one very well since it has the same color as the background.

I also received a “shattered glass” water decals. I am not really sure if this is a water decals. The item looks like a sticker to me. It’s not pre-cut as well, so I’m not sure how this works. I’m still finding it out.

This post will also show you a quick tutorial and a review of the Love White and black decals.

kkcenterhk Love Black and White Water Decals on Caronia Kiwi

Here's what you need to start up.

Initial Set up

You’ll need:

• Tweezers
• A small container with water
• Base and Top coat
• Nail polish (a color of your choice)

First, you’d need to make sure your nails are clean: free or dirt, oil or alcohol. Prepare all your tools and cut out the designs to make it easier for you to apply. I lined up the cut-outs according to how I wanted them on my nails.

Once everything is set, apply your base coat to protect your natural nails, and paint in your polish color of choice. For this review, I used Caronia Kiwi. Make sure your polish is completely dry before continuing on with the next step.

Place one of the cut outs on the container with the water and allow it to float in about 30 seconds. Once your sure that it is thoroughly wet, you can go ahead and pick it up. Be careful in removing the sticker in its paper backing, the sticker is very sensitive, and one wrong move, it will end up in waste.

You can choose to use tweezers in picking up the design and setting it on your nails. I chose to use just my finger with the wrong side up. I find that easier. Carefully place the design the way you want it on your nails. The reason why you need to have your polish completely dry is so that you can move the decals on top of your nails until your satisfied in its position. Once your happy with the way they look on your nails, finish your design with a top coat to protect your design and add shine.

And that’s it! Easy huh? This nail design works best for people who’d want to design their own nails but does not have patience in drawing them.

What I love about this design is that they stay on your nails for a good one week. Well, maybe longer. I change my polish every week so that’s the longest they can stay. Just make sure you cover it with a top coat to make sure it last.

You just have to be very, very careful in handling the decals. They are very thin and fragile. That’s why I prefer using just my fingers to pick them up. Tweezers might crumple them up and bye-bye decals. But if you find it easy to control using tweezers, then by all means, use them. J

Day 13 – Animal Print

Welcome to day 13 of the challenge. What I have for you today are some animal print.

I was thinking of doing a cow’s print for today’s challenge. But after seeing Chalkboard Nails’ design for this challenge, I got inspired and thought of doing the cow print some other time. She created a not so famous animal print. So I did some research and this is my result.

Day 13 - Animal Print

After doing the nails, it looked more of a Nemo (clownfish) to me. Is that what you think of as well? Here is my inspiration for this design.

Day 13 - Animal Print

This pattern is from a Red Milk Snake. I used Essence Perfectly True as my base color. I striped in some red and black polish for the skin. I think the proportions is not more of the snake’s that is why it look liked Nemo. 

Even if it looked like Nemo, I still think it will pass for this challenge since he is an animal. I did have a hard time controlling the brush specially with a shaky hand like mine. But I still love the design.

Does it look like a Clownfish or a Red Milk Snake?

Colors used:

Essence Perfectly True

Red 2 way nail pen

Sassy Nail Art brush Black

Crawling Spiders

Hello! I know I have been missing in action for the last couple of days. We don’t have a decent internet connection at home that’s why I’m not able to post my nail designs. But I want to make it up to you by posting my Halloween nails.

For the next this post and the next one, I will be sharing the nail designs I made for Halloween. Both designs are actually done with Simply Rins’ nail art tutorial.

Let me start with the design I made on my own nails, the crawling spider.

Crawling Spiders

You can find the tutorial on Simply Rins’ website. I really love how she drew the spiders. As a twist on what she did, instead of making them all crawl from my nail bed, I decided to make it from different sides.

Even though I think my nails do look good for Halloween, I still think they look like black crabs because of the fat feet.

I also decided to change the eye color on each nail to give them different personality.

What do you guys think about the design?
