review: kkcenterhk full nail water decals by iloveprettycolours

Hey everyone! 

Today's post is going to be all about these green gradient nail wraps that I got from  KKCenterHK.

The package contains 12 nail wraps and a small nail file to file off the excess. There are many different variations, but I decided to try out the gradient ones.

Once removed, you can see that all of the nail wraps are adhered to the sheet. There are no score lines, so that means that you will have to cut them by hand.

The tools you will need in order to apply the wraps are the following:

• the wraps
• a nail file and/or buffer
• scissors
• any tool that will help you smooth them out
• top coat

First off, you start by cutting each wrap. This process will take about 5 minutes. If you are not really capable of handling scissors (like me), you probably will end up with crooked edges :) I'd suggest leaving just a bit less than 1 mm space around the wrap and you will be okay. Then, you just need to choose the right size for each finger and you're ready for application.

Afterwards, you want to dip your nail wrap in a small cup of water (or place it on a wet sponge). After a couple of seconds, the wrap will come of its backing and will be ready for application. I applied a thin layer of top coat underneath the wrap, even though it's not written in the instructions, because when I tried without a base layer it wouldn't stick at all. After you smooth the wrap on your nail, the instructions say to apply a top coat. However, the top coat that I used crinkled the wraps and they didn't turn out nice looking :( Not applying top coat is also not an option, mostly because the wraps are really thin and they will chip in a couple of hours tops.

You get a nice looking dark green to light green gradient, but unfortunately in order to get the full gradient you need to have really long nails.

Even with a nice top coat, the wraps don't last too long, you'll get chips here and there and overall they are way to thin to be handled.

What I really loved about them is they can be removed really easy with a bit of polish remover. It says on the packaging that they are made with 100% polish, so when you remove them, instead of getting little pieces of plastic or whatnot, they disintegrate with the help of your polish remover.

Pros
• great variety of designs
• application is moderately easy
• they don't leave sticky residues once removed
• can be removed using regular polish remover

Cons
• slight sizing issues with each piece - you may need to trim them down
• crinkling after application of top coat - might be my mistake, though
• the wraps aren't scored, so you have to cut them by hand
• they don't last too long


Overall, my opinion is a bit here and there about this product. They have a couple of minor issues that when combined, make these wraps a bit difficult to handle, especially if you are looking for an easy manicure that looks good. They didn't look too bad even when they crinkled, but like I previously mentioned that might have been my mistake.
If you want to try them for yourself and see if they work, you can get these water decals here for $3.70. You can see the other designs here.

Galaxie florale by cocosnailss

Aujourd'hui on va ENCORE parler water decals, vous en avez peut-être marre, non? J'avoue préférer le freehand, mais ces petits derniers ont quand même de gros avantages, surtout quand on a pas trop de temps devant soi.

Je sais vraiment pas pourquoi, mais quand j'ai choisi mes produits sur KkcenterHK, j'ai pris ces WD. Ils m'avaient l'air sympas, mais en même temps j'ai grave hésité, par peur qu'ils ne soient pas si faciles à porter... Le motif me fait penser à une légère galaxie, avec quelques roses toutes douces, j'aime assez l'idée d'associer les deux. 

Mais bon, comme prévu, c'était pas une mince affaire pour savoir comment les assortir... Finalement, j'ai pas vraiment réfléchi, cette manucure est née d'elle-même, comme ça, comme une grande^^ Ca ne me ressemble pas vraiment, mais je trouve le résultat de loin plutôt cool. Après je porterais pas ça une semaine entière non plus hein...

En base on a donc le beau Poetic Hues de Color Club, fidèle allié. Ces WD ne nécessitent pas de base de couleur en dessous, mais vu que je suis partie sur une mini ruffian, j'étais un peu dans l'obligation d'en poser une^^

J'ai simplement mis les water decals un peu plus bas que d'habitude pour créer la ruffian (je crois d'ailleurs qu'en fait, j'en avais jamais fait avant aujourd'hui ! Pourtant je trouve ça super classe ! mais pas forcément sur moi ^^). Puis j'ai recouvert d'une couche d'OPI - Servin Up Sparkle, afin d'accentuer cet effet de galaxie.

J'ai éviter le full look, en posant simplement un strass sur le pouce et le ptit doigt, et voilà, c'était fini !

J'ai conscience de la bizarrerie de cette manucure quand même, c'est plutôt inhabituel, et c'est pas vraiment mon style, mais je suis contente d'avoir trouvé quelque chose pour assortir ces jolis WD. Je pense qu'avec du noir ils pourraient être pas mal aussi ! Et vous, qu'est-ce que vous en pensez? Vous auriez fait quoi à ma place pour les assortir? 

N'oubliez pas le code promo cocosnailss pour 10% sur kkcenterHK :)

PS: excusez mes moignons en guise d'ongles, j'ai tellement hâte qu'ils repoussent! Mais fini l'usine pour au moins 2/3 semaines, alors ils sont tranquilles :)

KKCenterHK's ANE-NAIL Flower Transfer Sticker Decals by tornadocalli

Review: KKCenterHK Water Transfer Stickers by asmallbudgetbeauty

Over the weekend I tried out the Cute Dot and Bow water transfer stickers from KKCenterHK. Basically they are just like water decals, the are just made to cover your whole nail.

It comes with a strip of 12 water transfer stickers (decals) and a 'smoothing tool' which is just a small nail file. Below is what the strip looked like after I had cut the individual decals.

The directions say to clean, cut & trim to fit, soak & apply, smooth and apply top coat. It also says to peel off the protective film, but there was no protective film on mine. So I followed all the directions and the decal would not stay on my nail, it just kept sliding off, so I went to their website to see if there were any tips. On their website it says to soak the decal for 10-15 minutes, ain't nobody got time for that LOL and they will come off a lot sooner. It also says to dry the decal off with something so I used a cotton ball, it did help keep it from sliding around, but it still did not adhere to my nail. The second issue I had was the decals were so long and my nails are not, so most of the bow got trimmed off.

For me these were a fail, I didn't ever bother with putting top coat on them, I just took the photo and peeled them off. The packaging says by applying a top coat the decals will last up to 7 days, and only 1-2 days with out. Maybe they would have worked better if I had applied a base coat, the instructions did not say anything about it so I didn't do it. I also think they should have a long and short version so us nubby girls could use these too with out loosing any details.

Water Decals by 9mluniverse

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Maggie from KKCenterHk. She wanted me to review something nail related, and I had to choose between stickers, stamping plates and water decals. I went with the last ones, as the title says.

I had never used decals before, and was a bit afraid  of messing up the application, but I did it exactly like the instructions said and it all went smoothly.

Mine were this model, they come in a strip like the one shown below (I forgot to take a photo before using them, so I'll just take the one from the site xD), 12 to be exact, and you can choose from 6 different sizes.

None of them fit my nails, so I had to cut them until they did, but that's pretty easy to do. Unless you're awfully lazy...xD

But enough blahblah and let's move on to the photos.

On top of the decals, I applied Seche Vite and had no problems with it wrinkling them or whatever.
I had them on my nails for 3 full days, and here's how my right hand looked before I took them out.

Not bad, I'd say. They held on pretty well, apart from the obvious tipwear.

I really liked my first experience with decals and I'm sure I'll order some more in the future.

KKCenterHk Nail Decal Strips by goingtotheshowing

Today I have for you a review from KKCenterHk. KKCenterHk is a online based shop that provide many different cosmetic products which vary from false eyelashes, wigs and makeup products. And this what they have kindly sent to me. 

This nail strip is in: ANE-NAIL 12 Pcs Lotus Flower Transfer Sticker Decals & Files and you can find it here.

"Brand New With Original Retail Packing Box
100% Authentic
Approx.Length : 3cm/ 30mm/ 1.1"
Water Transfer Sticker
Easy To Apply, Zero Dry Time!!
Kit Includes: 12 Nail Tip Sheets And 1 Smoothing Tool
Water Decals are Not Sticky!!"

This was my first time using nail strips and I cannot even tell you how easy these nail strips were to apply. I did not have to look for a tutorial. Instead I simply followed the pictured instructions above and it seriously was as easy as 1, 2, 3.

These nail strips were flexible but as soon as they dried, they did become a bit stiff. The excess strip was very easy to file off as well as to remove. In the instructions it states that you should trim the strip according to the size of your nail, but I didn't have to trim much since it fit very nicely.

The only problem that I had was once I took it off the packaging and attempted to put them on my nail and file off the excess, it kept slipping off my nail which gave me rigid edges. Other than that, if you are a first time user I recommend these. Though they do acquire some tricks these could not have been any simpler to use.

KKCenterHk has a huge variety of strips which is great, except leaves you wanting so many! The instructions listed on the back of the packaging were simple to understand and very easy to apply. After applying my top coat Out The Door, these strips lasted on my nails for roughly a week with very minor tip wear.  Overall, I recommend these and think they are very nice.

You can purchase these strips here for $8.00 USD. 

You can also use the coupon code "totheshowing10" for a 10% discount off your purchase and expires January 31, 2013.
