Review: KKCenterHK N.Nail Silver Heart Flower Laser Nail Foil Transfer [NNAIL-E45] by melaniesfancies

I received this item in exchange for an honest review.

Here it is... my first manicure post in almost exactly a month! Yikes! Yep, I went about 3 weeks without painting my nails even once. I believe before I've mentioned I get kind of weird around my birthday? Well, it's gone and passed so hopefully I'll get back to normal and post manicures more often again.. hope I get over this manicure funk soon.

Anyway, my last manicure post was a KKCenterHK water decal review and today I have another review for one of their products. This time I picked out 2 foils to review, because I love their foil so much. First up is product number N.Nail Silver Heart Flower Laser Nail Foil Transfer [NNAIL-E45].

Here's what the nail foil looks like. Pretty neat, right?

 For some reason, this foil made me think of Chibi Moon's Pink Sugar Heart Attack (Sailor Moon reference!) so I decided to start this manicure with 2 coats of Milani Digital, a really gorgeous pink holo. I had a really neat idea for this manicure, but it turned out not to go so well. Here's what I started with. Gorgeous, right?

I had this really neat idea of cutting out one of the hearts, then cutting it in half. I tried putting one half on one nail, the other on the other nail next to it. This didn't go so well because this foil is kind of awful to work with. It doesn't lay flat at all, so it tends to wrinkle which means when you lift it from your nail, there's still a lot of chunks of the foil missing so you can't really get a nice clean pattern with it like you can with some of their other foils. BIG TIME BUMMER!

So that definitely did not work out. I've had this experience in the past with one of their other foils and I know from experience this means a few problems: everywhere the foil doesn't stick you're left with a gluey residue which doesn't wash off well but everything sticks to it. So you can either use the glue and then apply top coat over the foil (which is what I did) or you can nix the glue and use top coat instead to stick the foil to the nails. The problem with applying the top coat over the foil is you lose a lot of the holo effect. This still turned out looking pretty neat (my boyfriend said it reminded him of the paint jobs on some of the old toy cars) but it definitely wasn't what I was hoping for. So this was very disappointing! Oh yeah.. also, the top coat did eat the foil a little bit, another boo hoo!

After I realized my original idea wasn't going to work, I kind of just applied this foil randomly on all of my nails :D 

So I still have one more foil to review for you guys this week. I haven't tested it out yet, so hopefully it works much better than this one!

KKCenterHk Review: N.Nail Butterfly Dot Pattern Nail Foil Transfer [NNAIL-E31] by melaniesfancies

I received this item in exchange for an honest review.

I have one more nail foil to review today, and I'm happy to say this one worked so much better than the foil I reviewed yesterday.

This item is number N.Nail Butterfly Dot Pattern Nail Foil Transfer [NNAIL-E31]

This foil is clear, with pretty butterfly images surrounded by silver dots which actually have a little bit of a holo effect to them. I had absolutely no problems with this foil. It worked as expected and applied easily. I didn't use top coat over these since top coat can ruin foils sometimes, so the foil only lasted a few hours and by the next day I was scraping off the remaining foil. So that's something to keep in mind if you're looking for something permanent, but for something fun to last you just a few hours or a day, this works perfectly. I started out with 2 coats of Zoya Dream, then applied top coat before applying the foil so now I have a fresh manicure to do something else with. Seems like a winning situation to me :)

Originally I was going to do a green manicure with this foil, but my friend +Narmai Nan asked me to do a blue manicure for National Autism Awareness month, so I decided to use Zoya Dream instead. I thought the all blue butterflies would look nice for this, too :)  You'll see more of this polish again some other time, that's for certain!

Ok, so I think you can see from my pictures, this foil did wrinkle a tiny little bit but in comparison to the foil I used yesterday this wasn't so bad!

 
 I kind of like this look with the foil on all nails, because it looks kind of.. vintage, I guess? But I also like it as just an accent. That's one of the nice things about this foil, you can do a lot of different stuff with it!

This foil is $6.92 on KKCenterHk's Web site for the foil alone. You can also buy it and the glue for a couple more dollars.

Paznokcie podwójnie miętowe. Double mint nails. by polish-my-nail

Takie śliczne, miętowe cyrkonie przyszły do mnie z KKCenterHk.
Chciałam początkowo nałożyć je na biały lakier, ale zdecydowanie bardziej podobają mi się w połączeniu z tą miętą od Hean 174. Pasują do siebie idealnie. Z daleka nie rzucają eis w oczy, ale pięknie połyskują.

Look at those lovely, mint zircons that arrived from KKCenterHk.
At first I wanted to apply them on white polish, but I think they look so much better together with this mint from Hean 174. They fit perfectly. From a distance You can see them much but they give a lovely sparkle.

Cyrkonie zapakowane są w wygodny i dosyć duży słoiczek. Są bardzo male (2 mm), co mi się podoba i bez problemu trzymają się paznokci. Wystarczy nałożyć je na mokry lakier, lub odrobinę op coatu i lekko docisnąć. Po wyschnięciu przykryć dodatkowo top coatem. Tak zabezpieczone trzymały się aż do zmycia, czyli 4 dni. 

The zircons come in a pretty big jar. They are very tine (2 mm) which I like and they stick to the nails nicely. You just have to apply them on still wet nail polish or a little bit of top coat and after that dries seal it with a layer of top coat. Protected this way they stayed on my nails until I was removing the whole manicure, which is 4 days.

Cyrkonie możecie zamówić TU. Do wyboru są tez inne kolory KLIK.
