Pink Carmine Circle Glitter

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

Hey y'all!

Today's post features N.NAIL 2.5mm Circle Glitter-Pink Carmine [NNAIL-HB96-2-5mm] from KKCenterHK!

These glitters, in the color pink carmine, are 2.5 mm in size. They also are on the thicker side when it comes to height. 

I placed twelve of these glitters on my ring finger to create a disco ball effect. To top the look off, I put one glitter at the base of the other nails. 

 The base color used is an unnamed neon pink from Color Club.

These glitters retail for $2.50 USD, and as you can see in the picture above, you get a large tub full. There are many colors to chose from on KKCenterHK's site.

Overall, I really like these glitters. They create a dimensional look when in the light, almost like a disco ball. I will definitely use these again and I have a feeling you'll see these in a nail art look soon! ;)

Hey y'all!
Today I have a quick #notd post featuring Zoya Haven and some studs from KKCenterHK and Born Pretty Store!

The star studs are from KKCenterHK! They are the N.NAIL Studs Star Silver 4mm Nail Art Decorations [NNAIL-DRN619] and they retail for $2.50USD. They have a slight curve to them, so they sit perfectly on your nail. These studs lasted until I changed my manicure (about four days) and did not budge! 

The rhinestones are from Born Pretty Store! They are from the 400Pcs 1.2mm/2mm/3mm/4mm Silver Round Rhinestones for Acrylic UV Gel Nail Art wheel and they retail for $3.95USD. These rhinestones wore like iron. They stayed on the entire time I wore this manicure and didn't come off at all! I believe all nail art enthusiasts should have a wheel like this as it provides so many options!

Gothic Lace Nail Art Foil

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

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a gothic lace style manicure using N.Nail Noble Black Lace Flower Nail Foil Transfer [NNAIL-E32] from KKCenterHK. 

I applied the foil over two coats of Sinful Colors Hazard with Ciate Foil Fix. 
The foil set I received had a small bottle of foil glue, but the brush was too long for the bottle, bending it to the point of no return. 

The foil has a beautiful design. There are multiple flower designs all over the foil with a honey comb style background. 
Nail foils are super easy to use and a little goes a long way!

I'll be back on Sunday! :)

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!

Mustache Nail Stickers

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

Hello Lacquer Lovers! 

Today I'm reviewing the 3D Nail Seal Beard Series Beard Pattern Nail Seal-440 [3D-440] from KKCenterHK. They retail for $1.00USD.

I was so excited when this showed up at my door, but once I put them on, I was very disappointed.

Here you can see four of seven nail designs from the package over Sinful Colors Thimbleberry. 

These designs are easy to apply and are the perfect size were the perfect size for my nails, but the quality was lacking. As soon as I top coated this manicure for photos,

the designs started to shrink up, bubble, and it almost seemed like they were melting. Have you ever put nail polish on styrofoam? It melts right through it.  That is exactly what the reaction reminded me of. 

Do you have any tips for nail stickers? Let me know in the comments!

Pink Bows

* 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 a subtle and simple nail art look, using the N.NAIL QA29 Stamping Plate from KKCenterHK. 

I started the manicure off with two coats of Zoya Rue, which is a subtle blush color. Then, using Sally Hansen Pink Punk and the QA29 plate, I stamped on one of the bow patterns all over my nails.  I topped the look off with China Glaze Fairy Dust to give it an extra sparkle. 

The stamping plate is sold on KKCenterHK's website for $3.00USD. As there are many cute bow designs on the plate, I'm sure it will show up in furture posts.

Do you have any stamping advice? Let me know in the comments below!

Laser Purple Studs

  * 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 a manicure featuring N.NAIL Studs Square Laser Purple 3mm Nail Art Decorations [NNAIL-DRN656] from KKCenterHK.

These 3mm studs retail for $2.50 USD, and I believe they are well worth it! Each package contains around 50 pieces, so that means they are around $0.05 USD each! They are very versatile and can be used in a multitude of manicures. 

I put one stud in the center of each nail. The base color shown is Sinful Colors Candy Coated.

(The following picture turned out weird and I can seem to edit it right. :( Sorry.) 

Overall, I have been super impressed with KKCenterHK! They pull through every time! :)

Summer Stamping with KKCenterHK

 * 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 two stamping items to share with you from KKCenterHK. Overall, I was impressed with both products and would definitely order them in the future.

The first item I used was the N.NAIL Summer Beach Bikini Shell Sun Seaweed Soft Stamping [NNAIL-SPPNGA09]. This soft stamper features a rope, wheel, anchor, seashells, seaweed, a bikini, and a sun image. To use this stamper, paint the polish over the image and dab it on paper until the excess is gone. Then, you can stamp it directly onto your nail. It takes a lot of practice, so be patient. This soft stamper retails for $7.79USD. 

I used the rope and anchor images for this mani, along with some random drugstore polishes.

The second item I used was the N.Nail Mini Size Iron Scraper & Size Stamp Set [JR1140], which retails for $4.05USD. This is the perfect sized mini stamper, as it is not too large or too small. The only compliant I have is that the scraper is not an iron scraper as the website says, it is a plastic scraper. Besides that, I was impressed.

I used Winstonia Plate W111, along with some random drugstore polishes. 

You can order these directly from KKCenterHK here: kkcenterhk.com.

That is all I have for today Lacquer Lovers! I'll be back later this week with some other cool reviews. :)

kkcenterhk Review: Heart Studs & Candy Studs

 * 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 two more products to show you from kkcenterhk! 

For this look I used two coats of an unlabeled Color Club and one coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust.

On my accent nail I have both N.NAIL DRN784, which are the hearts, and N.NAIL DRN808, which are the candy colored studs. 

The heart studs were the perfect size for my nails and the candy colored studs were too! 

I applied them on top of the wet China Glaze Fairy Dust, waited until it dried, and then applied top coat.

 I tested this look out and found that the studs have awesome staying power if applied correctly! I ended up picking them off about three days in, but I'm sure they would have lasted a lot longer!

Overall I really loved these studs! I'm sure y'all will see these in many more posts to come!

New Year Nail Art with kkcenterhk

 * The following nail art brushes and studs were sent to me for my honest review. For more information, please visit my disclosure policy.*

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

I hope y'all had a great Christmas! Now that Christmas is over, we can focus on the new year! New year =  new nail art!

Today I have two different nail art looks, made with products from kkcenterhk! 

The first nail art look is very simple, yet edgy and perfect for the new year!

I used N.NAIL Studs Square Matte Silver 5mm Nail Art Decorations [NNAIL-DRN648] from kkcenterhk. They retail for $4.75USD and each package has approximately fifty pieces. 

 I liked these studs and I will definitely use them again.

 My base color was Rimmel London Black Satin.

For my second nail art look I chose to do a freehand skittle with the N.NAIL 15 Pieces Pink Handle Nail Art Nail Art Brush [JR1131] from kkcenterhk. I absolutely love this look, and plan to wear it to ring in the new year!

  I love these nail art brushes! This is the first set that I have ever owned and I plan to use them forever! They retail for $13.50USD, which is a decent price for fifteen synthetic fiber nail art brushes!

This is the package they came in. It houses them in a nice, compact way, so that is how I will keep them stored. They also have a plastic safeguard to keep the bristles in shape (all brushes but the fan brushes have these). They also seemed very durable.
I named these brushes for tutorial purposes. kkcenterhk did not label or name each individual brush.

 Brushes 1-6 are liner and detailing brushes.

Brushes 7-8 are fan brushes and 9 is a dotting tool.

Brushes 10-15 are stroke brushes.

 I used three polishes for this look- Wet n Wild French White Creme, Rimmel London Black Satin, and an unlabeled Pure Ice silver.

Index- I used brushes 3 and 9.

Middle- I used brush 5.

Ring- I used brushes 9 and 14.

Pinkie- I used brush 8.
