Laser Purple Studs

  * The following products were sent to me for my honest review. For more information, please visit my disclosure policy.*

Hello Lacquer Lovers!
Today I have a manicure featuring N.NAIL Studs Square Laser Purple 3mm Nail Art Decorations [NNAIL-DRN656] from KKCenterHK.


These 3mm studs retail for $2.50 USD, and I believe they are well worth it! Each package contains around 50 pieces, so that means they are around $0.05 USD each! They are very versatile and can be used in a multitude of manicures. 
I put one stud in the center of each nail. The base color shown is Sinful Colors Candy Coated.
(The following picture turned out weird and I can seem to edit it right. :( Sorry.) 


Overall, I have been super impressed with KKCenterHK! They pull through every time! :)

Twinsie Thursday: Nimbus Nails

Hello Lacquer Lovers! Here is today's Twinsie Thursday post! I hope you like it as much as I do. :)

Hey lovelies!
Here I am again for this month's Twinsie Thursday! We're doing Nimbus Nails, following the tutorial  by The Nailasaurus. We decided to use purples, blues and teals.. Samantha came up with that and it is truly perfect!

I used a white base of Essie Blanc, and then dabbed on the colours with a cotton swab drenched in acetone. I started with Bourjois "Bleu Fabuleux", then Catrice "Heavy Metallilac", then Rimmel "Sky High" (which turned out a bit more blue than teal in the sunlight, but hey) and then NYC "Lavender Cupcake". I topped it off with SV and applied a metal appliqué that you can buy with 10% discount using my code SXDQ10.


I hope you like it! I do and like Samantha says, I can't wait to try this with all kinds of different colours! Now go check out Samantha's amazing nails on my blog!
Will be seeing you in July, because I'm going on holiday in June! Happy summer to you all! :)

Zoya Tickled & Bubbly Collections

  * The following products were sent to me for my honest review. For more information, please visit my disclosure policy.*

Hello Lacquer Lovers!
Today I have the Tickled and Bubbly collections from Zoya! I loved all of these polishes! A+ Zoya! 

All photos were taken in a mix of natural and artificial light. No base coats or top coats were used.

First up, the Tickled collection!
All six polishes had a wonderful formula and were opaque in two coats! If you are a creme lover, then these should be at the top of your 'must get' list!

Zoya Kirtridge

Zoya Rooney

Zoya Wendy

Zoya Rocha

 Zoya Tilda

Zoya Ling


Next up, the Bubbly collection!
I swatched these over their matching Tickled counterparts, as I liked them layered! I used one coat on top of the two coats of the Tickled polishes. On their own, they would be opaque in two coats.
