Review: Blue flocking / velvet powder Manicure Kit from Bornprettystore

Hello everybody!

It's been two months since I last posted, but work takes up almost all my time. And between hectic work hours I prefer sleeping :)) I still do my nails, once a week and most of the times, without stamping...

But last week I received from Bornprettystore something  that I wanted to try for a long time: Blue Flocking Velvet Powder Manicure Kit. This is how it looks like:

The set contains:

One Sweet Color pink Calcium-fortified base coat
One Sweet color blue nail polish
One Blue Velvet powder
One Brush
One tweezer  

Here is a closer look:


As you can see, the blue polish has some pink fine glitter, which I think it looks great.




So, I began applying the base coat:


Then I added one coat of blue polish:



Then I added the second coat (one nail at a time) and started applying the powder:



This is how my nails looked like after applying the powder:



I started cleaning the powder with the brush provided and here is the result:




 

I love the result and I have received many, many compliments! The colour is amazing and the texture is very smooth and velvet like :)

You can buy this set here, and you can use my coupon code (ALEXAK31) for 10% off!! You can find it here in 14 different colours!

Along with this set I have received a pair of moustache earrings and a moustache ring!



Do you like moustache accesories?

Have you tried flocking / velvet powder? Would you try it?

I hope you liked my post and I hope you will keep following my blog even if I post so rarely!

Thanks for reading!

Review: KKcenterHk image plate B34

Hello everybody!

I know it has been a long, long time since I last posted, but due some unfortunate events in my life, I wasn't able to post these couple of months. These past months I haven't done my nails (I didn't have the mood, nor the time to do so), but now I am starting to get back to normal and I hope you will still be by my side (I would really appreciate some feedback from you, guys!)

I know this is a long overdue review, but here it is.

A few month ago I received image plate B34 from KKCenterHK.com. This is how it arrived:



I also received a scraper and stamp set.



The image plate comes with a plastic film on it (you have to remove it so you can use the image plate):


And here is how the designs look stamped (as usual, I used  Konad Special polish and normal polish)



And a detail:


I also did a manicure using OPI - Cajun Shrimp and this image plate:




If you liked the image plate, you can buy it here.

What do you think?
What is your favorite design from this image plate?

NOTD: Essence - Hard to resist

Hello Ladies!

Here is a swatch of Essence - Hard to resist. I had this on my hard drive for some time and I wanted to share it with you.


 The pictures are taken after I wore this polish for 3 days (that's why you can see some minor tip wear)

 

If you are a blue lover (like myself), you will adore this color!

Do you own it? 
Which is your favorite blue polish?

NOTD: China Glaze - Wicked style

Hello!

Because I am a nail polish addict, I couldn't resist the temptation and bought 2 polishes from China Glaze's Electropop spring collection.

I ordered them from BeautyInTheBottle and got them a few weeks ago!

Here is a picture of the two polishes I bought: Wicked Style and Gaga for Green:

 
And now, I want to show you one of them: Wicked style:





 



As you can see, it's a bright, tropical color, which will be perfect for spring and summer. I think it's a shade between pink and coral, and, although I am not a "pink person", I really like this one!

What do you think?
