Hello! I have a review for you today of some purple marquise studs from KKCenterHk.com. These studs retail at $4.73 (so about £3? So bad at currency conversion!) and you get 50 or so in a pack, and their postage and packaging prices are pennies, which is good news. Also, KKCenterHK have kindly provided a discount code for you all to use, so enter "nuthinbutanailthing" and you'll get yourself 10% off. Even better!
Anyway, onto the nails...I thought I'd give these are try as I am a big fan of studs, but I haven't tried out any marquise shaped studs before. The studs aren't flat backed, but they have a little rim on the edge, so they press down into your polish pretty well.
First off, the shape of the studs totally screamed out flowers to me, so I decided to use them to do a couple of little half flowers at the base of my nail. I used a small gold stud for the centre of the flower and then positioned the purple studs around them. I used w7 suede effect in Golden Suede as a base colour and I love how the purple flowers go with it, it works really well.
Next, I decided to try out Sinful Colors Apple, which has been sat waiting patiently... I just put the studs at the base of my nail this time. Again, I like the colour contrast, I think this goes pretty well.
Finally, this one isn't particularly inspired, but I couldn't show all the same design on my nails for each manicure! So this time, I tried out Sinful Colors Midnight Blue, put a stud at the base of my nail, then added some diamond shaped diamantes. I don't think this really worked as well because the colours are quite similar, I think the studs need to be contrasting with the polish to stand out nicely. So this might work better with a different base polish. (This blue is gorgeous though, isn't it?! Love!)
