On the left is my review for the star glitters. I call this Reaching for the Stars. It reminds me about my goals and dreams that I have for my future (:x Corny I know). Anyways so the base for this is Borghese Tutti Gelati topped with open flakes of stars in light pearl pink and yellow from Viva La Nails.
To apply the stars, I used on a wooden cuticle stick with a dab of top coat to be able to pick up the stars individually and I created diagonal tips with the stars as well as a whole nail full of stars. :)
The name for this one is a lyric from a Ricky Martin song, and you could probably guess it, Float like a Butterfly and Sting like a Bee. :) The base is 2 coats of Quirius Cotton Candy.
The black butterflies are nail stickers had little rhinestones on it, which I thought they were really cute. It's really easy to take off and apply onto your nails and it isn't complicated and it does not bubble up or anything like that!
The other butterflies were a surprise to me. Does anyone remember when they were young and they would have those fake tattoos that you apply by just putting water and holding it onto your arm? That's what these butterfly nail arts are! At first I was trying to peel it off like a regular nail art sticker and then it hit me. These were adorable and they are sooo easy to apply! Just dab on some water with your fingertip and hold it there for a few seconds and voila~ you got yourself a butterfly on your nails! :)
This one I call it Home Improvement. Because from the sample back I used, it reminded me of the stones that people use to create a path on their lawn or backyard. :) The base is 2 coats of Sephora by OPI Never Enough Shoes.
To apply this, I simply took one of my fingers from my free hand to stamp some onto my fingertip and then sprinkled it on the nail. I did this carefully to create tips as well.
I really like this and I think I'm going to try to create a path with this in the future. :) Very easy to do it yourself
hope you enjoyed and there will be a further review on more products from the sample pack!

ReplyDeletedid the crushed shells stay on your nails..and was it painful? as in did you scratch youself with the crushed shells. i'm still trying to figure out what to design with my viva nail items
shortwidenails: Thanks! :) Well, I can't tell you that for sure because I took them off after I did it because I wanted to do more swatches haha. But when I took it off after photographing them, it wasn't painful at all! But the next time I use them, I'll be sure to let you know! Yeah at first I had trouble deciding what to do since the package was overwhelming for me and my mind had to adjust haha. I'm glad you liked it.
