Blue Jeans Mani

Recently I received some nail studs for review in the mail from KK Center HK. The studs in question reminded me of the rivets on Blue Jeans, so I set out to create a Denim manicure to show them off.
To create the base look for the denim, I started off with a base of SinfulShine Break Away. I then used my fan brush to create vertical lines on my nails with a combination of Sinful Colors Sugar Rush, SinfulShine Most Sinful, and Break Away. I then painted on some stitching detail with China Glaze Kalahari Kiss (which you can see below) and finished everything off with my Revlon Matte Top Coat.
As far as the studs go, they are just too big! They are so big, that they are impractical. I can't imagine anyone being able to comfortably wear these on their nails. There is no curve to them, so they stick up on the sides, which you can see in my middle picture. I think the design itself is really cute, I just wish they were about 1/2 the size. The stud on my middle finger didn't last more than one hour before it got caught on something and came off. The one on my thumb was gone this morning when I got up, so it's lost in the sheets somewhere. Sadly, I don't feel I can recommend these, but I did love the other studs they sent for review.
If you would like to see these studs for yourself, click here. Be sure to visit their store here as they have lots of other fun items for sale as well.
What do you think of my denim look? Does it look real?
Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee

Pink Studded Triangles

Hi all! Today I'm really excited to show you a look that kind of made my camera freak out a little bit. ;-) KKCenterHK recently sent over some products for me to review and today I'm going to show you the Circular Nail Studs in 2mm Pink. These studs are the perfect size, you can easily wear more than one on a nail and they are a juicy light pink color. Lets take a look at the nails. I've never had the opportunity to use studs on my nails before, so I was very excited to take these on a test run.
For the base of the nails I used Essie Off the Shoulder. Once that was dry, I taped out a big triangle using Scotch Tape and painted it with China Glaze Pool Party, a bright neon pink. After Pool Party dried, I taped off an even smaller triangle and filled it in with Butter London Snog. At the top of each triangle I placed a stud. To place the studs, I dotted on some Seche Vite top coat, placed the studs, waited a few moments, then topped the whole look with more Seche Vite.
Overall, I really like this look. The studs were great. They didn't catch on anything and wore easily. They also put up with a lot of abuse before one finally popped off.
If you are interested in getting these studs, you can find them here. There are 50pcs in a pack for $4.23.
Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee
