KKCenter HK - Review of N.Nail Blue Peony Decals

**Products in this post were provided for an honest review**

OMG I LOVE THESE!


When KKCenterHK let me pick some products, I was drawn to these. I love anything that looks like old blue and white china, so when I saw the peony design I just had to ask for them!

These come with no instructions and they also come attached as one sheet of 10 so if you cut wrong, or if you mess one up, you're pretty screwed. But for the price of only $2.82 they are definitely worth a go!


I cut mine up and soaked them in water until the decals would slide off easily. I used tweezers to pick up each sheet and place it on the nail. Each decal is quite long - I had to carefully file off the end of each to fit my nail once they had dried in place. They are 2.3cm in length, which is a fair size I think! One thing I didn't anticipate was that theyre not blue and white, the blue design is there but if you want blue and white, you will need to apply over a white base.

I have them here over 2 coats of Revlon 'Sneak' which is a pale pastel blue. I think they look really cute!


I am super impressed with these - I really like them. Theyre beautifully delicate and elegant and suitable for any occasion. Just something special that is easy to do and quick to apply. What can't you like?

What do you think? Have you ordered anything from KKCenterHK before? Anything you've had your eye on?

Back to School NAC - Day 6 Free for All and Fake Tattoo Review

**part of this post was sent for me for my honest review**

Hello all!

Got my free for all nails for you today. I am so excited to show you these as they use some fantastic products that I was sent by Fake Tattoos. They were kind enough to send me two separate packs - the very cute Hearts and Bows pack, and the Ocean Design. Each pack contains at least 62 tattoos on 2 sheets with clear instructions on how to apply. They cost £6 a set, with free delivery worldwide.

Now you may think.. hang on, her nails are supposed to be school related, she'll definitely pick the Hearts and Bows.. but no, the Ocean Design have some surprise designs that I wouldn't call ocean related, but fit perfectly with the school theme - paper aeroplanes!


When I saw these, I just had to use them! I have never used Nail Tattoos before, but they were so simple to use and easy to place. They work just as temporary tattoos do. Cut out your design, remove the plastic layer over the surface, place design side down on your nail and then wet thoroughly. Hold in place for around 1-2 minutes and then peel away the paper to leave the design on your nail. Top coat to protect your design for longer. Perfect!


The designs are a lovely size - I tested them on my newly shortened nails. The base is 3 coats of Butter London - Cream Tea, Sally Hansen and Bondi NY Fuschia-tastic. They fit really well - I placed mine not directly centre (as part of the full mani design) however they would fit on centre of nail, or possibly two if placed carefully.


I wore these for 5 days before removing them along with my otherwise freehanded design. They lasted perfectly - the tattoos stayed perfectly on the nail with no wear, lifting or smudging of any kind. What do you think of them? I love them! I will have some more designs for you in the next week!

Don't forget to check out everyone else's free for all nails!

Ciaté Mini Mani Month and Water Decals

So i've finally had chance to try each of my advent polishes - here is Angel Wings which i got Day 5. Angel Wings is a sheer, shimmery white polish. Here I have used two coats which has given near enough full coverage. I decided to play about - I tested out another of my Sparkly Nails decals - just on my thumb - my nails are quite short at the moment so many of the decals won't fit on my little stubs. Don't want to use them all at once until I've managed to grow my nails long enough to showcase them properly!

I think it might be the polish but these decals didn't need sealing - they applied straight on then dabbed dry in seconds - excellent.

The colours from Mini Mani Month are available full size at Ciaté.

The decals are available for £1.55 a pack from Sparkly Nails.

I think theyre really sweet!
