Zipper Manicure

Hey guys!
Today I got a quick and simple yet eye-catching design for you! To me it looks like a big zipper, but I'm sure there are many other interpretations too :D I got the idea from this manicure by Nicole @ Nail Polish Wars. Go ahead and check her awesome blog out! But come back to see my manicure as well! :P 
I used: Milani 3D Holographics in HD and O.P.I - Swimsuit ... Nailed it! This is one of my favorite color combinations now ;) 
 It's a very easy and yet so cool design, I love it ! 

Btw: I added some extra ways to follow my blog on the right side bar, since GFC will soon not be working anymore. I am also on bloglovin now! A really cool way to follow your favorite blogs ;) 

Thanks for reading and see ya soon! :)

KKCenterHK Water Decals Review

Hello, my lovelies!
I was contacted by Maggie from KKCenterHK some while ago, about reviewing Water Decals for them and after checking out their site I immediately agreed :) The first step was really hard: choosing a sheet of Decals, because they have a lot and they're all gorgeous!! After a few clicks I saw a really cute one and I picked it without thinking twice! 
This is the one they sent me: 
Aren't they cute ?? I love them! 
I never used Water Decals before but the application was very easy and it didn't take much time. 
How to use Water Decals:
- first remove the foil covering the whole sheet of paper
- cut out the pieces you wanna use on your nails
- put them in a bowl of water for about 10 minutes
- using tweezers, carefully remove the pieces from the bowl
- slide off the image and put it on your nails

Now let me explain that last step for you. First I tried to remove the image from the paper using tweezers but I couldn't grab it, cause it's very thin and I almost destroyed it. I found a very, very easy way to apply them though. After removing the paper from the water I used my finger to transfer the image onto my nail. As long as it's wet, the image doesn't stick to anything so you can easily move it back and forth on your nail til it's in place. After it's dry you can finish it off with a TC. 
 I used 2 coats of Catrice - Just Married, applied the Water Decals and sealed it all with a TC. 
I really love the result! The Water Decals are very easy to use, don't take much time to apply and they look like they're painted on your nails. 
You can get these cute Water Decals --here-- for only $2.64. 
But make sure you check all the decals out and some other stuff on their site too!

Maggie was so kind to give me a unique coupon code for you guys, so if you go shop on their website use the Coupon Code: BLGA403RE10  for 10 % off your purchase until 31st Jan 2013

I hope you liked this post! And let me know what you think about Water Decals! ;) 

*I did not get paid to do this post. I received the product from kkcenterhk for free for review purposes only and this is my honest opinion based on my personal experience.

Milani 3D Holographics - Hi-Res

Since I got my very first holographic polishes, I just had to try them immediately! Since I love purple, I chose Milani 3D Hologrpahics - Hi-Res. Oh my, what a beauty!
I used 3 thin coats, application was very smooth and easy, although it has a really thin brush. It's a gorgeous purple holo and I believe the right term is "scattered holo". :P Enough talking, here it is:
 So beautiful, right? I couldn't stop starring at my nails at school :D 
It's the perfect polish, but I have a little problem with it. Maybe someone who owns this polish can help me. I applied base and top coat like always and it chipped the next morning. Now I don't wear polishes for long, but I want it to last at least 1 day! So, is this common for holos? Or for Milani polishes? Or should I just try different base coats/ top coats ? I believe it was just a "bad nail day", but I still want your opinion! :) 
Thanks for your help! ;)
