Feeling a bit Kawaii

Super bright in the first photo. The second one is more accurate.
Notice the lumpy pinky? I thought my seche vite was dry enough... it wasn't.

Anyway, this is super girly. I love it. I've had the beads for a while now, but never got around to using any of them. The stars I got from a confetti pack. It had all the rainbow colors. Although I have discovered that the color bleeds when you add the top coat. So... yeah.... I don't use any of the colored stars. Just the silver and golds.

I have Essie, Fiji as the base and Klean Colors, Holo Pink for the stripes. I am not a fan of this Essie. I put on 3 coats of Fiji and it still could have used a 4th. I stopped at 3 cause I thought the streaks wouldn't be noticeable since I was adding stripes. Wrong! I can still see bare spots between the stripes.

Nailene French Tip guides and Nail Art stickers

This is an absolute must for me. I suck at doing a freestyle french tip. When ever I try, they always turn out sloppy. So when Nailene sent me some guides to review, I was excited. Actually I use the regular french tip guides and they sent me these tips and toes, but hey no complaints here. I've been wanting some toe guides but can never find them in the stores.

The only draw back with the guides is that the adhesive is a bit too strong. No matter how long I wait between using my base coat and the guides, they always seem to rip my base coat off when removing the guides. But I did discover an easy fix for this.

I was watching a few reviews on youtube for the "Smartnails Nail Stencils" and in every single review, they said to first place to stencil on your skin to take the harshness off the glue. So easy and simple. I immediately thought of doing that with the french tip guides. I place the guide on my skin 2-3 times. The amount of glue left after that is similar to the glue on a post-it. Perfect for the nail.



I was also given some nail art stickers. This is what I was most excited for. I mean, who doesn't love decals? There have been times when I've wanted to have gorgeous nails but just didn't feel like creating something complicated. Nail art stickers are definitely the way to go.

Here is a really simple, cute nail art design I did using the french tip guides and the nail art stickers.



I also have a review of the french tip pens coming soon. So keep and eye out for that ass well.

Klean Colors Haul

This is my first time buying Klean Colors. I found them at the dollar store >_<
And it wasn't just any dollar store, it was one of those "Everything is a dollar" dollar stores. I love those. They are a goldmine! This particular one I love cause they have a full display of Art Decos, L.A. Colors and tons of accessories like glass files. Well, I went in and spotted a new display of Klean Colors. So of course, I had to buy some.


Neon Aqua -- This is a gorgeous shade of blue. The color is similar to L.A Color's Static Electricity. Pigmentation is very good too, it was opaque in just one coat.


Charcoal -- I like this one. It has a nice pigment and was opaque in one coat. It also has a matte finish to it. That surprised me since there is no label saying its a matte polish.


True Purple -- Oh I just had to get this. I love purple. This is medium dark purple and is opaque in 2 coats. I think the name is a perfect way to describe it. True purple, ah that it be. Love it, simply gorgeous.


Gold Bright -- Love, love, love this one! I've been searching for a perfect shade of gold. I've used this twice already. Its a shimmer, but not to overwhelming and is opaque in 2-3 coats.


Plum -- Its a semi dark purple and was opaque in two coats. I haven't used this one yet. But I am looking forward to it.


Mocha -- I've been needing more neutral colors. This is a creamy dark shade of tan and is opaque in 1 coat.

And I just had to get a picture of my dog. He just looked so cute.
