Nails Redesigned Vinyl and Mani Bomb Review

Hello everyone!

I have been sucking this month with blog posts but I have soooo much to share, new brands, new polishes, new everything! But first...Lets talk nail vinyls! Who doesn't love them? They are so much fun and so easy to work with. I think they are just great for easy nail art! I remember when I first tried nail vinyls and I had no idea what a topcoat was. Every time I applied them I would peel off the polish because I never used a topcoat. I HIGHLY recommend you use a fast drying topcoat such as SecheVite or HK Girl.

This is my second review of Nails Redesigned you can find the first one HERE. Like always, most of the items shown here will have direct links. Nails Redesigned has a new website and a NEW hand care line called Calm Your Tips Hand Care. Super creative name right?!

I also apologize ahead of time I forgot to jot down which polishes I used. I will try my best to remember them though.

Ok! Shall we start? For this mani I used these square swirls that I could not find a link for. These were so easy to use! 

I think I have said this before but it's best to sponge on the polish than to just paint over the vinyls. This way it is least likely to leak through and mess up your base. 

For this mani I used:

• The Vinyls, of course
• China Glaze Petal to the Metal
• China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely
• China Sun of a Peach

These vinyls were probably one of my favorites from the pack. There is so much you can do we these! You can make each diamond a different color, all one color, or a gradient like I did!

For this mani I used:

• Vinyls, Fishnet Shield
• China Glaze Highlight of My Summer 
• China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle

For this mani I used:

• Vinyl, Heart Stencil
• NCLA Redicalist 

For this mani I used:

• Vinyls, (could not find link)
• Color Club Eternal Beauty
• Color Club Blue Heaven
• Color Club Cloud Nine

For this mani I used:

• Vinyls, Could not find link
• China Glaze DJ Blue My Mind

This is part of the Hand Care line. This Mani Bomb smelled AMAZING!! I swear when I opened the packaged that's all I could smell. The mani bomb was pretty hard to remove from the baggy so I ripped it open and it went flying. It hit my countertop then bounced and landed on the floor. Did it break? NOPE! It was still in tact after it went flying! I'm impressed

I did not take a picture of my nails because they looked a bit beat up but they smelled amazing afterwards and my cuticles were soft and the blue stains around my nails from a previous nail polish were gone. My favorite part was seeing how milky the water looked after the mani bomb dissolved. 

This is after it hit my table and the floor! No dents! 

Overall what do you think? Are you a fan of nail vinyls?! Make sure to check out Nails Redesigned awesome vinyls and awesome nail care goodies!

Short Review Friday Anchor Studs

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Short Review Friday part 2! Yay! I'm actually kinda late on posting this (almost saturday) :/ oops but I wanted to keep the tradition going! I was recently sent some awesome nail art goodies by BornPrettyStore! I have been shopping from there for quite a while now so I was very excited when they contacted me.

This week I will be reviewing these amazing Anchor Nail Studs that I recieved from BornPrettyStore. Of course, as always, I will have direct links to everything I used for this mani. You can also receive 10% off BornPrettyStore using my code 'RAK31'. 

I really loved these studs! I am NOT good at doing freehand nail art. I cannot draw. Last time I tried to write an anchor I failed. These are a super easy and fast way to make your mani look like you actually tried haha

The down fall was that they peeled off super quick. I think it might've been because it got caught in my hair then I peeled if off my nail because it was lifting. I would highly recommend a 2nd topcoat layer. 

Overall, the anchors are a great size. I had no trouble applying them on my nail and they aren't thick either! I don't think the anchors are reusable but they come in a pack of 50! 

More about the Anchor Studs:

• These are sold at BornPrettyStore.com 
• They come in a pack of 50Pcs for $3.19
• They come in gold or silver

More about the mani:

• I purchased the Chevron Vinyls from nailvinyls.com 
• The blue nail polish is from Pahlish 'Sailing the Hispaniola'  (no longer sold)
• The gold  on my pinky is Fun Lacquer 'King'

Let me know what you think about my Short Review Friday pt. 2! and also what you think about my manicure. Don't forget to use my code for 10% off your next purchase at BornPrettyStore they have a lot of awesome nail art stuff!

Until next time,

Nails Redesigned Vinyls

I have quite a few nail art manis to you today. Sara from Nails Redesigned was kind enough to send me some of her nail vinyls to play around with. I will be showing a lot of pictures today and i'll try to have links for all the products i've used, including the nail polishes. I'm a nail vinyl lover! I think they are super easy to use and also super easy to do different designs with!

Hope you enjoy! :)

First off I have the base for my first mani.

For this mani I used:

• KBShimmer Radiant Orchid
• Cirque Colors Xochitl

The color in the pictures may very, that's just my lighting.

• Nails Redesigned Swirls
• These come in a set of 50. 25 swirls to the right and 25 swirls to the left. 
• Prior to using them I applied Cirque Colors Liquid Laminate Top coat 
• Make sure you let the top coat completely dry before placing the swirls on your base color
• Once you place the swirls, apply your polish of choice (different color from your base) and remove the swirls immediately after applying the nail polish
• Wait to dry and apply a fast drying top coat of your choice
• I highly recommend Cirque Colors top coat!

Next I have another mani with the same swirl design but with different colors

For this mani I used: 

• KBShimmer Let's Not Coral
• KBShimmer Life Rose On
• I did a watermarble for this mani. You can find many videos on Instagram and Youtube on how to watermarble :)

I added the same swirls listed above. You can't really see it but it was still fun to do :)

Next on the list are Nail Redesigned Quatrefoil Nail Vinyls. I looooveeee these! These are so fun to use and play with! I went with a more simple look but there is so much you can do with these.

For this mani I used:

• OPI Miss You-Niverse
• OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby
• The set for these vinyls include 20 stencils
• They are super easy to use
• All you do is place them over your desired base coat, paint over them and remove immediately. 

I decided to add another mani using the same vinyls. 

For this mani I used:

• L'Oreal Masked Affair (apparently impossible to find online and in stores)
• Azature Light Lilac Diamond

Last but not least are the Wide Chevron Vinyls. Not gonna lie, i've never used large chevrons before so they were definitely something new for me but I ended up really like them! These come in a set of 100. 

For this mani I used:

•  Stardust Polish Apple Blossom
• Stardust Polish Blue Skies
• Stardust Polish Ocean Waves
• Stardust Polish Read My Tulips
• Stardust Polish Dawn 2.0
• Rica Blackout

I really liked this mani. I like the multiple colors and how the black makes it stand out!

 Lastly, this is a mani that didn't really like. It's fun but ehh it's not that great. I did post it because i really like the colors.

For this mani I used:

• Orly MirorrBall
• PolisHaus Bella

Make sure to check out Nails Redesigned and look through all of her other nail vinyls! They are great and as you can see...easy to use for nail art!! :D 

Until next time, bye bye :D 

Good evening everyone :D

I decided to create another blog post before the month ends. This is part of my new year resolution, blogging. I will also try to find links for all of the products i've used.

Here is the simple mani I did. Hope you like it :)

 I originally started this mani with a swatch. This color is such a beautiful bright blue! I was very impressed with how easy the application was (2 coats). It's very creamy and also very shiny! This is Color Club Bright Night

I have seen a lot of negative space manis going around so I figured I would give it a try. Unfortunately I don't think my nails are in very good shape to be shown nude so I used OPI Samoan Sand as a base for one of my accent nails. I also used OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby for a double accent nail.  

I'm also not a huge fan when it comes to spending 8-10 dollars on white or black nail polish and i've found that SinfulColors has the perfect white nail polish (in my opinion). This is SinfulColors Snow Me White which I used over OPI Samoan Sand. Last but not least. In order to get those perfect lines I used NailVinyls Straight Variety pack. These vinyls are perffffeeeeeccctttt for negative space. 

*Not featured is the topcoat I used which is HK Girl Topcoat and the clean up brush I use from Jolie Polish which is currently sold out. 

And the moment you've all been waiting for...here is the final product.

Thank you for reading :D Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything i've missed that you would like to know more about!
