Girly Mani/ Ideas

KKCenterHk Review: 3D Nail Seal

Hey everyone! For today I'll be reviewing another product that KKCenterHk sent me!

I chose these adorable hello kitty glitter 3D nail seals which in my opinion are just like nail stickers! Enjoy!

*Discount code for 10% off KKCenterHK purchase: NailAddict93
*Link to 3D Nail Seal: Hello Kitty

-China Glaze: Splish Splash
-Revlon: Whimsical
-The Color Workshop: Sheer Purple w/ Holo Glitter
-3D Nail Seal
-Sally Hansen Insta-Dri

My thoughts:
-Thinnest nail sticker I've used
-Super easy to work w/ and place
-No air bubbles
-They don't curl up/lift once top coat is applied
-I love that you can barely notice there is a nail sticker there!
-Slight Defect: They are supposed to be glow in the dark, however mine did not glow. I do not mind  though because they are still so adorable!

Overall great product and great quality! :)

Franken Blogger Series Part 1: Purple Castle

Hello beautiful ladies! A couple weeks ago, I decided to try my first franken and couldn't decide on what color or polishes to use. Then I thought why not choose to do them by someone who inspires me and has helped me a lot here on blogger.
I chose to do a franken inspired by Lydia from Sekhmet's Purple Castle. We both decided Purple Castle would be a great name for the polish!
Its a light purple with pink undertones, large, medium, and small silver/holo hex glitters, purple glitters, blue glitters, silver shimmers, orange and green flakies, and blue and purple hex glitter! Enjoy!

*There will be 2 more frankens inspired by Katee from A Girl and Her Polish and Jenni from Gold Speck Nails

Pink Wednesday-Swatch & Review

Hey everyone! For this pink Wednesday I wanted to do a quick swatch & review  of a polish (Revlon: Starry Pink) my boyfriend bought me while shopping for my giveaway!
*Before I forget, if you haven't entered my Valentine's Day Giveaway or Lydia's Valentines Day Giveaway make sure to do so!!!
Review: 
-The color is a light pale pink with a bit of an lilac undertone with large silver hex glitters as well as small ones
-The formula is a bit sheer, so full opacity can be reached with 3 coats (As I did below)
- Layered on itself, it creates a gorgeous glitter sandwich!
-If you prefer not to use 3 coats, I suggest to use an opaque pale pink first then use this on top
-It is a pain in the *** to remove (even after using the foil method & the other way)
-Overall, I love this polish! Im a sucker for polishes that look great alone without stamping or stuff like that!

-Revlon: Starry Pink
-Sally Hansen: Anti- Chip Top Coat

12 Days of Christmas: Day 1- Sugar Plum Fairy

Hey guys! So i wanted to do something similar to the challenge i did for Halloween (10 days of Halloween). It was originally supposed to be 13 day of Halloween but i got sick so i changed the title. Anyways i really enjoyed doing that so i thought why not do something similar for Christmas!! I chose 12 day because of the that one song you always hear around the holidays. Some of these are Christmas related & some are just inspired by winter!
* I apologize in advance if i dont get to do 12 post because I am moving & ill be pretty busy
* For day one i was trying to come up with an idea & my little sister is obsessed with the song "Sugar Plum Fairy" from the nutcracker so i was like thats perfect! Enjoy :)

*I chose these polished because the first polish was a gorgeous plum color (as you can see its a purple & pink duochrome) & then glitter because of the fair part!
