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.

Magestical Fleur De Lis Long Drop Earrings Review, Nail Art, & Giveaway

 * The following products were sent to me for my honest review. For more information, please visit my disclosure policy.*

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have something a little different for you- a jewelry review, along with nail art to match, and a giveaway!

 

Source: http://www.majestical.com/Long-Drop-Earrings-p/efe0031-fb.htm

I received the Fleur De Lis Long Drop Earrings from Magestical.com. They retail for $8.50USD.

These earrings have a length of about 12 inches and they would match great with a little black dress.

I did try these on, but I have very sensitive ears. I lasted maybe a minute with them on and then had to remove them due to the reaction it was causing with my ears (Ouch!). With that said, if you have sensitive ears, these are not for you.

Of course, I had to do some nail art based off of these. 

I chose to go with a very simple look. I used OPI Glitzerland and SOPI It's Real 18K Gold Top Coat, along with clear and gold rhinestones. 

This look accents the earrings perfectly, as the colors are spot on!

 Now onto the giveaway!

This is open international. You will win a $20.00USD gift voucher to Magestical.com. This giveaway is opens today and closes April 6, 2014 at 11:59pm.

Good luck! :)
