Holographic Gel Nails- EZ Dip Nails Deluxe HOLO Pure Kit Review

Hello,

Mirror powders and holo powders are all the rage these days and i personally love them. I always wanted gel nail with strong holo effect. I know there are holographic gel polishes available in the market but the effect isn't as awesome as regular holographic polish. Thanks to these new products, we can now have strong holo effect gel nails. I have reviewed two different holo powders previously and today's post have another gorgeous holographic powder. 

This is EZ Dip Nails "HOLO Pure" holographic powder. I got it in a deluxe kit which include gel base, gel top , one gel color, five swatch sticks and an applicator along-with a 2 gm jar of holo pure holographic powder.

Review and Swatches: Ostar Nails Rainbow Carnival Kit(Holographic Powders)

Hello, 

Mirror powders and Holographic powders are so in boom these days. Every nail brand and suppliers are releasing new powder products every day. If you dont know, what i am talking about here, Mirror powders are a powder product which when applied on a gel polish base, gives a reflective chrome finish. Mirror powders avaibke currently are meant to work with gel polish only but many bloggers and testers found a way to make them work with regular polish though from the results i have seen, the powder works best with gel products only. Holographic powder, as the name suggests gives a holo finish. Today's post showing two different kind of holographic powders from the company calles Ostar Nails.

Hello everyone, 

Today's post has a unique stamping plate from a newer brand Ejiubas. Ejiubas is an online store which sells nail art, beauty and fashion products. The store was founded in 2013. I saw their stamping plates last year but because i was busy and was irregular in doing nail arts, i couldnt get hold of these beautiful plates. 

These plates are etched on both sides and that makes them unique. Currently there are 4 collection of stamping plates available on the website. Each collection has 2 stamping plates which are etched on both sides. I got the first set "wonders of life" to review. I also got their silicon nail mat along with the stamping plates. First lets look at the nail art i did using these products:

Feather Nails: Born Pretty Store Nail Foils Nail Art

Hello, 

I am very happy about today's manicure and how it turned out. Nail foils are hit or miss among nail artists. Foils are fun for those who do gel manicures and apply a gel top coat over foil for amazing bling. But for regular top coat users, foils are horror because they crinkle and lost their sparkle when topped with a regular top coat. Water based top coats are suitable for foils(also picture polish revolution) but i dont have any so i decided to top the foil with a gel top coat and it didn't mess the foil and that is why i am happy about this foil manicure.

CICI & SISI Acrylic Stamping Plate "Wedding Season" + El Corazon Magic Golden Fleece

Hello

I have been mia last week here. I did manicures but i couldn't post them. One of the reason is that i am still figuring out best time to publish the posts. Anyway, today i have a very cool stamping plate review. This is "Wedding Season" Stamping plate from CICI & SISI and this plate is cool because it is made of transparent acrylic material instead of traditional steel plates. Now on the website there are two smaller size square plates in this collection named Wedding Season 1 and Wedding Season 2. I have this one big plate because it is sample plate which is sent to bloggers/vloggers. Here's take a look:

Lady Queen is an online store, which sell quite a variety of items from nailart to beauty, accessories and even home&garden stuff. They asked me to choose few beauty products, of-course i went with nail-art related products. I chose two hehe plates and one nail decoration wheel and i will be showing them all in coming days. 

Today, i have a nailart i did with HeHe 040 stamping plate. This is a classic round stamping plate with buffet style images. The images in this are basically watermarble and some random faces. Have a look:

Review: Jord Wood Watch

Hello, 

I know I am writing after a long time but I am all settled down and back to blogging now. Today's post is quite unusual post for the blog because i have never did an accessory review post ever but I thought this will be a great post to restart my blogging. 

I have been contacted by Jord Watches about to do a review for their watch. I was a watch person in my college days but after that i kinda stopped wearing watches so when I first got the mail about reviewing a watch, i was in little dilemma that should i do that or not. I checked the website and oh- my- god, I instantly fall in love with these watches. They look so unique and chic. So, I made up my mind that i have to review them and know more about them and said yes.

I chose Sully Red Sandalwood watch. Let's take a look :

Fun Lacquer Cheers To The Holidays(H) Swatch and Review

Hello,

Today, I have gorgeous swatches to share. Singaporean nail polish brand FUN Lacquer released Christmas 2015 collection in late october 2015. This collection has six polishes, three of them are multi-chrome and the other three are holographic versions of same shades. Name of shades in the collection are Cheers to the holidays, Desire, Frost, Cheers to the holidays(H), Desire(H) and Frost(H). I bought the holographic versions from the collection and today i am sharing swatches of Cheers To The Holidays(H).
FUN Christmas 2015 collection


Fun cheers to the holidays(h) review
Cheers To The Holidays(H) is a holographic multi-chrome nail polish. It shifts colors from red, orange, purple to blue. The polish doesnt need to be layered on a black base. It is opaque in 2-3 coats. I applied three thin coats. The polish dries semi textured cause of high volume of holographic pigments, that is why it requires good amount of top coat for a smooth finish. I applied two generous coats of hk girl top coat. Colour shift in the polish is amazing as well as the holographic glitters.

Removal of the polish is easy, doesnt required foil method, a simple cotton dipped in nail polish remover is sufficient.

Cheers to the holidays(h) costs $12.90. It is currently unavailable at FUN Lacquer website but it might be available at distributors stores. You can find the list of authorized distributors here.

Have a nice day.
