KKCenterHK Microbeads Review

Hello everyone!

Today I have a review for another product I was sent from KKCenterHK. I've wanted to try the microbead/caviar trend for a while now but didn't really know where to get the supplies, so I choose some to review when I was approached by this company. I choose a beautiful seafoam green colour and wanted to co-ordinate them with my polish colour, you can buy the micro beads from the following link - http://www.kkcenterhk.com/p8422/N.NAIL-Microbeads-Decorations-Nails-Art-Grass-Green-DRN382/product_info.html

For these nails I used two coats of OPI Mermaids Tears for the base on all my nails. For the accent nail I applied a layer of topcoat over my base polish and then dipped my finger into a small pot filled with the micro beads. I then lightly pressed down to make sure all the beads were stuck on securely, removed beads that were stuck to my fingers and then added a layer of topcoat. The whole process took around a minute I'd say, very quick! :)

I really love how the base colour and the beads matched, I think these look so pretty and elegant :) I don't think I'd be able to handle the eads on all of my nails though. I think as an accent nail these add a cute but different look that lots of people will enjoy :)

Thanks for reading :)

52 Week Challenge - Week 5

Hello everyone :)
It's week 5 of the 52 week challenge! It's going so quickly! But I'm really enjoying this challenge. This week we had to do a newspaper manicure. I've wanted to try this out since I first saw it a couple of months back but never had the time so I'm so glad it came up in the challenge, so here's how I did...

I really loved the whole idea of this weeks mani and was so excited to try it out, however I was rather disappointed :( The print on my nails was so faint you could barely see it unless you got really close to it, which most people don't :P

I used 3 coats of OPI Mermaids Tears, which I have been lemming for a while and finally got my hands on! :) I then dipped my finger in vodka (maybe this is why it didn't work so well? You're supposed to use rubbing alcohol) and covered my nail with a strip of newspaper for about 15-30 seconds depending on how long I could wait :P 

This picture is more an accurate representation of the colour of Mermaids Tears, it's a beautiful muted green :)

I'm really glad I got to try out a newspaper mani finally :P But I wanted a very bold print on my nails compared to this :( Have any of you done a successful newspaper mani? If so let me know what you did in the comments, I really want to try this again until I get the results I want :)
