How to Revive an Old Manicure {ft. KKCenterHk}

   * The following nail art foil was sent to me for my honest review. For more information, please visit my disclosure policy.*

 Hello Lacquer Lovers! 

Do you ever need to redo your manicure, but don't have the time? Today I will show you how to revive your old manicure in seconds thanks to KKCenterHK!

To revive your old manicure using nail art foils you will need three things: top coat, nail foils, and nail foil glue.

I used NYC Grand Central Station, N.NAIL Lovely Flower Sea Nail Foil Transfer [NNAIL-E28], and nail foil glue {I used Ciate Foil Fix}. The foil set I received had a small bottle of foil glue, but the brush was too long for the bottle and was bent.

{Optional}

First, you want to top coat your old manicure so you have a smooth surface. This is especially important if you have any chips. I didn't do this step, as my polish had not chipped yet.
My base color is OPI I Think in Pink.

Next, apply your foil glue. You can apply it all over the nail or in a design. I chose to do a chevron french manicure. Wait until the glue is tacky and apply the nail foil. Apply top coat to seal in the foil.

Tada! You have now revived your old manicure! This is the way to go if your pinched on time, as it took me less than ten minutes total!

Influenster Uni VoxBox

  * 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 the Uni VoxBox from Influenster to review! This box had a lot of things packed in it, so lets get straight to the review!

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-On Manicure: $5.99 for colors & $7.99 for patterns

 This was a very interesting experience! While I may have the unpopular opinion with these, I was less than impressed. I got the color 130 Control Freak. I loved the color, but I felt as the nails looked unnatural on me. The sizes weren't completely right for my nails. Also, this ruined my nails - it peeled off 2 layers. :(

NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Forever Fuchsia: $1.99

 I'm such a bad blogger. I lost my pictures to this. Oops! Check out my Instagram later next week and maybe you will catch a sneak peek! :)

I liked the color and the formula was great. Good job NYC! 

Pilot Acroball PureWhite: $4.59 (3pk), $6.24 (4pk), & $7.49 (5pk)

I got the white and tangerine pen, as seen above.

I'll be honest, this pen did not move mountains for me. It was just a nice pen. There are other pens for less than this price that I like more; therefore, I will not seek out this pen in the future.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation: $4.99 - $5.49

I ADORE Rimmel's Stay Matte powder, but this product didn't work out for me. I got the color 200 Beige, which is similar to my skin tone, so that was a plus. I liked the consistency and you only need a little bit to do your entire face! I did have some issues with this product though. I have super sensitive skin, so finding face products that don't burn my skin or break me out is a daunting task. This product didn't even make it to pictures, as it burnt my face. I really wish this product would have worked out! :(

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance: $3.99 - $4.99

The Influenster card says "Play without limits. Introducing NEW Playtex Sport Fresh Balance with Ordor Shield technology. It's designed to neutralize odors for ultimate freshness on and off the field. Combined with a 360 [degree] design for Sport Level Protection, you can go the distance. Play On". 

Red Rose REAL TEA Premium Water Enhancer: $4.49

Okay y'all- I have not been in love with the idea of flavored tea. Ever. It's just so unapealling, as I am a southern girl who loves her sweet tea! 

I got the BlackCurant Rasberry flavor. If you take my opinion in any level of seriousness, please do not spend you $4.49 on this product, unless you'd like to drink something that tastes like straight cough syrup.

 

I loved the idea of this box, but I ended up a little disappointed. The two highlights of this box, for me at least, were the lipstick and the pen. 

What do you think of this VoxBox? Let me know below! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
