Product Review: KKCenterHK Triangle Studs

OH HAY THERE!

Long time no talk, I've been a bad blog mom....but don't worry, I'm back!!

^_^

Today I have a product review for these amazing Triangle Silver Studs* from kkcenterhk!

 These studs are 5mm in size, and each package contains approximately 50 pieces of these hardcore studs.

For this mani, I created the gradient with China Glaze- Tart-y For The Party and Aquadelic

What a great colour combination!

My thoughts:

Studs are awesome. Soon, I will be hoarding all shapes and sizes...I just know it!

They are a great way to instantly spice up a manicure!

Depending on the shape and size of your nails, they may or may not stick out on the edges.
I would recommend securing the studs with either nail glue, or a good amount of topcoat to seal it in!

But of course, I couldn't just leave it at that...

Ahh....MUCH BETTER!

NOW....

Here comes the exciting part!

Where can I get this exciting product, you might ask...

May Flowers

HEY GANG!

I have a short post for you today!

We've moved onto the acrylic portion of the course in nail school...and I thought I'd try my hand at some 3D acrylic art! Starting with some May flowers....after April showers (get it? ha?)

I incorporated gold chains and studs into each tip to tie everything together.

This gradient is so pretty, I almost didn't want to do anything with it!

But I'm glad I did....

^_^

Did you know...

That there is only ONE MONTH LEFT until I become a CERTIFIED NAIL TECHNICIAN?

I am beyond excited.

That's all for me today!

Have a SPLENDID day, friends!

RAWR SHOP- Roses, Glitters, and Awesomeness

HEY GANG!

Hope you're all having a great week so far! Today I have a RAWR Shop mani to show you.

Amanda came for a visit couple of days ago, and this was the outcome.

This is a gel set, we gave her a wee bit of length using Amore International products.

For the art, we used China Glaze's Turned Up Turquoise, Flip Flop Fantasy, and Fairy Dust. 

I also created a glittery fade using Platinum and Paradise from Michael's

I may or may not have a glitter problem....

Amanda wears colours VERY well. So basically everything looks great on her.

...and roses...everybody loves roses!!

This, I find, is a great way to introduce nail art to those who have yet to experience the awesomeness of it all.

and quite honestly...what girl doesn't like a little bit a lot of glitter?

Well folks, that's all for me today! Hope you enjoy your nails, Amanda!

Have a fantastic day, pretty friends of mine!

Naked Tribal ft. Fundraiser Night!

Hello ladies...and maybe gentlemen??

HAPPY FRIDAY!

My nail school had a fundraiser/open house yesterday and we were offering basic polish and nail art!

I wanted to wear something simple on my nails...but things escalated quickly...and next thing you know I ended up with these..... 

This is just acrylic paint with glitter and clear gel polish over top.

I would say that they're rather simple? They just look complicated...hahaha

I find it really hard to look at my nails because they're so short....it's almost awkward not having claws....

...The Fundraiser...

I lucked out last night! All my clients were THANKFULLY all very adventurous!

The sentence "Just do whatever you want!" was thrown around a lot...and that's just how I like it.

This mani was my first and FAVOURITE of the night...

Because I am Winnie. It only made sense that I forget to pack sponges with me...

but this awesome lady requested galaxy and roses on her nails so excitedly, I had to make it happen....

You guys. I did a set of galaxy nails WITHOUT sponges!

I used my fingers to dab on the "galaxy" elements...some of the nails look like EARTH!!

Here are some more manis I did through out the night:

All in all, it was a very fun night. I had a great time, and managed to hand out 2 business cards!

By the way,

I finally found some "above knuckle" rings on ebay....I am in love with them....

Really, they're toe rings....but it's essentially the same thing...and for $2...I'm not complaining! ^_^

Want them? --> HERE you go

Well that's all for me today! 

Have a SUPER DUPER FUN weekend!

MOD POP Nail Art

*pat pat pat*

OMG...I'm alive?! I'M ALIVE!!!! 

I think my trip to LA totally killed me...

If you follow me on Instagram, you would know that I managed to make it back with only one nail lifting...I also discovered that if you jam your claw like finger in the door, it hurts a lot....

So I took off my claws in hopes to finally grow out my natural nails...

Well let's just say that it's been 2 weeks with these stubbies....and I feel like....a part of me's gone missing...

I probably give myself another week or so until I put the claws back on....

hehehehe

Now...About this mani...

I picked up Sparitual's Knowledge Is Power a while back...I've been obsessed with it since I brought it home.

I know this design has been done many-a-times by a lot of amazing nail artists out there...But this colour screams pop art to me...I wanted to do something...but not completely cover it?

VOILA!

This way, I can stare at it all the time, and have a constant shine? WIN!

Wearing this mani also makes me feel like a cartoon character...

If Sparitual is available in your area, be sure to pick this colour up for the summer.

You won't regret it.

That's all for me today!

Have a fantabulous day, lovers!

Vacation Time!

I'll give you three guesses on where I'm going.....

^_^

They decided to let me out of Canada and go to LA for a stagette this weekend! lol

(Warning: Winnie on the loose!!)

Since I can never make up my mind on what to do for vacation nails....I figured I'd just put everything on.

This is Random Winnie at its finest.

.....and you know what? I love every single one of them!

I thought the LA thing was borderline corny....but after I put on the roses, they look like they belong!

Get it? Vancouver to LA? HA? Ok....I'll stop.

Really not much more to say about the craziness here, besides...I really hope my nails don't break while I'm there....because I would cry....really loud....

Do I have any lovers in LA?

Wanna hang out? LET'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's all for me today!

Have a fantastic Easter weekend!
