SmART Nails Stencils: Review & Giveaway

* The following products were sent to me for my honest review. The giveaway prizes are from SmART Nails For more information, please visit my disclosure policy.*  
Hey y'all!
Today I have eight stencil designs from SmART Nails to show you, along with an awesome giveaway!

First, let's talk about my overall experience with the stencils. Overall, I was impressed. This was my first time using stencils, so there was a learning curve. You can tell from my photos below that some designs were easier to work with than others, but it was nothing unbearable. The only problem I had was a user error! You should let your base color be completely dry before you apply the stencils. My base color wasn't completely dry some of the times, so I had to repair the base with a striping brush and my polish color.
All of the stencils retail for $1.99USD and there are 10 in each package. You can clean them and use them more than once {I used mine twice and then threw them away}, so they are definitely worth the price.

No Tools Needed Halloween Nail Art: Ghosts

Hello Lacquer Lovers!
Today I have a spooky nail art look that is perfect for those just entering the nail art community or seasoned pros and there are no nail art tools needed!


For this look you need 4 things: a orange polish, a white polish, a black polish, and something to make dots with, such as a bobby pin or tooth pick.
I used FingerPaints Iconic Orange, Wet n Wild French White Creme, Rimmel London Black Satin, and a bobby pin.

First, start off with two coats of your orange polish. Then, using your white polish, make an "S" shape on one side of your nail and fill it in. To make the ghost faces use a bobby pin to dot the eyes and mouth on with the black polish.


This look is super easy and can be done in ten minutes or less!
If you try this look out, show me on my facebook page or tag me on Instagram (@samantha_faye16). I'd love to see!

Galaxy Nails!

Hello Lacquer Lovers!
The universe is a beautiful thing; I, for one, believe that it is one piece of art! Today this nail art look is inspired by the galaxies!


I used Essie Aruba Blue as my base color. Then I took Above the Curve Risen Angel, Too Cute-icle Beach Blanket, Cutoffs and Bikini, and Orly Oh Cabana Boy and painted them on lightly in different locations on the nail. I used China Glaze Fairy Dust to blend the colors together. To finish up the look I used FingerPaints Santa's Magic in different locations.

This look is very easy to recreate and is the perfect place to start if you're just getting into nail art or if you are a seasoned pro! :)
