KkCenterhk Nail decal tutorial

Hi guys, I received a pack last week, decals from KkCenterhk, it's just now that I was able to make a review of it because last friday (august 5) my son Jaem celebrated his 6th bday. I was so busy then, and this week is his 1st periodical test.. Happy birthday to all august celebrants... Anyway here's the decal design I picked to review, I chose floral design.. As you all know I really like bright and lively colors ( mainly green!)..

NOTE: This product was sent to me as a gift. I made this review based on my own ideas and preference on how to use them. My opinions about the quality of the said products are based on my personal judgements and the outcome of my usage.

X&D nail decal is very fun and easy to use.. You don't need to go to a salon,

all you need to do is.

1. Clean your nails, remove excess oil, and buff it. It's up to you if you want to use basecoat or not.

I used china glaze for the base. Let dry.

2. Remove the thin protective plastic cover and cut the decals.

3. Soak it on water for a second.

4. Place it on your nails and remove excess water.

5. Use nailfile to remove the excess decal. Add top coat.

Tada!

And here's the finished product. Save time and money!

You can purchase X&D full nail art water decals for only $4.50, just visit KkCenterhk for more nail and beauty products.. Hope you like it! God bless...

P.S happy birthday to my niece Cielo. She's celebrating her bday today.. this mani is for you and for all those who are celebrating their birthday! God bless...

Review + Some nail tips and NOTDS

Hello dear Readers!

Another product for review I received came from Budgetgadgets. BudgetGadgets is an online retailer/wholesaler located in Shenzhen, China. They are selling quality electronic gadgets and services at wholesale price w/ free shipping anywhere!

They sell lots of accessories including gadgets for use at home and hobbies...

You

can visit their site @ BudgetGadgets.com..

P.S.

You will get 5% discount when you shop by using my coupon code artofnail5OFF..

Btw, the package includes a battery operated nail dryer and nail decorator.

In my case. It is difficult to maintain my long real nails and avoid cracks and chipping. So I used

transparent acrylic powder. 1st I applied acrylic powder on the tip of the inner part of my nails to support my long nails. Then I used the nail buffer to

flatten it and get rid of the excess acrylic powder. I'm satisfied with the nail buffer/decorator because it includes different shapes to select from

. Which ever is appropriate for your nails, it's very useful for me because it helps me easily clean up the excess acrylic powder which has hardened on my long nails.. You can't even notice that I applied acrylic support on the inner part of

my nails.. You can see the difference in the picture.. Before and after I used the nail buffer/decorator you will notice it's much smoother...

UP

Hi all! Belated happy hearts day everyone! ♥♥♥ Hope you had a lovely valentine, as for me I'm very very happy.. ☻ Anyway, Summer is fast approching here in the Philippines... It's very hot here nowadays. For summer nails, I made a simple mani using dried flowers. If you wish to buy some of them, Born Pretty have lots of nail art stuff including dried flowers. I love dried flowers so much. It looks like a lil'garden on my nails. I got the idea of hot air balloon from thriszha, I remember she made a manicure using this image plate last year. I also used konad m57 i.p. cloud design. It reminds me of the Disney movie "Up", my son love that movie so much that he used to watch it every night before going to sleep. He likes Kevin the big bird and the kid named Russell was so cute!

I like the finished product, it's really meant for summer.. Hope you like it too! God Bless you all!!

Hello Kitty Nails + Random NOTD

HI ALL!! I know many of you guys like hello kitty! Who doesn't'?! I love hello kitty.. Eversince I was in high school I've been collecting hello kitty stickers.. She's super cute right!? hehehe... I looked at my collection this morning and suddenly, an idea sparked in my head, a hello kitty inspired nail design.. I used to have a hello kitty bookmark that looks like the nail design that I made! Btw, I drew a hello kitty on the tip of my nails, using a very thin brush which came from Bornprettystore. I love that brush because it is very firm and the stroke is very accurate, making my freehand drawing hassle free... I don't have any problem using it... I also used m60 konad image plate, china glaze "lemon fizz" and china glaze "sugar high". Then I added a glittery top coat... It's very cute... Love my thumb nails...
