Zig-Zag Chevron by chitchatnails

Hello Lovely Ladies,
I hope you are starting the week energized from a good weekend?  I had the weekend off (as did Peter!!!! – rare occurance in our household).  Thanks to my sister and her husband, the kids were well taken care of , and we went for a lovely lunch and then headed to watch “Argo” (what a great sit-at-the-edge-of-your-seat movie documenting a historical event).
On to today’s manicure:

For today, I have a Full Nail Patch review for KKCenterHk Thus far I have been showing you their water decals, but I’m quite happy that they carry full nail decals/patches as well.

(nail patch- 16 Pcs Sticker For Fingers Toes (W189) [nail patch- W189])

This package of 16 nail patches can be used to create a full manicure (with a few extras just to make sure that the patches fit the size of your nail), or they can be worn as accent nails (which is the way I intend on using them).

Please NOTE:

These are patches/decals with a ‘glue’ base rather than being made out of nail polish.  What this means is that they will adhere to your nail and can stretch to fit the sides of your nail.  They will also NOT dry out like real-nail polish decals do so you can use one at a time and not worry about having to dispose of the rest of the package BUT, because they are blue based, they also will not wear as long as the promised 12-days of real-polish nail appliques.

How to:

1. Pick a patch that fits the width of your nail best (you don’t want to pick one that is too wide or you will end up covering your cuticles, a patch that is too narrow will show the sides of your nails.  (There are plenty of sizes to choose from, but you can also just cut along the sides of the decal to make them narrower if you need).

2. Remove the patch and place it (rounded side) against the base of your cuticles.

3. Rub the decal down the center to make it stick, and then towards the edges.  I didn’t realize (until it was too late) that these decals are strong but stretchy so I could have stretched them a bit at the sides to prevent a little bit of lifted edges (that is a first-time user error, not a defect of the product).

4.  When the decal is nice and firmly attached to your nail, use a nailfile to file down the excess from the tip of your nail (I file in a downard motion).

These decals create really neat effects, and are perfect for someone like me who doesn’t have the freehand-precision to create even lines

To create this Skittlette manicure I painted my nails with China Glaze VII;he pinky is a layering of silver glitters.

I continue to be amazed at the wide range of nail-art decals and patches that KKCenterHk carries, you can purchase these full nail patches HERE.
