Hey darlings!

Today I have for you a very exciting review. I was contacted by Nicole Diary to review some of their nail art water decals, and hey, if its nail art related, I'm in! So here is the result! You can find them on their stores at Amazon and Aliexpress or you can search for "Nicole Diary" on Amazon or Aliexpress. They ship world wide so everyone can benefit from it. I found them to be very affordable, and despite of that they were kindly enough to offer you, my readers, a discount code, so be sure to use the code Sh2016 for a small gift worth $2-$5. Isn't that nice?!

I have never used water decals for my designs, so it was interesting to try them, and let me tell you, if you are looking for an easy, fast and beautiful nail art design, and you don't have much time to sit and start painting, I recommend you give these a try. Application is super fast and easy. Just pick the design you want, you can cut it to fit your nail, remove the plastic over it, dip it in water for 15-20 seconds, remove gently from the paper (like a water tattoo) and apply to the nail pressing gently to position. Wait a few seconds for it to dry and apply a fast drying top coat.
They have everything from simple and pretty designs that you can apply over your favorite nail polish color, to full designs that covers the entire nail. So I think the variety is amazing, and you can always combine your nail art skills with accents of water decals for the most "difficult" part of your design. For some of the full nail designs you don't need a base color (although it is recommended to have a coat of polish underneath, but it won't show) and some have clear background so you can create the look you desire with your nail polish base color.



Now let me show you the designs I tried and how to apply them:

Hello Darlings!

Today I have for you a nail care product review...GERManikure Crystal Nail File. And I know you would say, its a nail file, whats so special about that? Keep on reading and you'll see.

This crystal nail file promises to last a lifetime, so think about it, you'll only need to purchase it once, now that is very good for your pocket as well as for the environment! And if its supposed to last that long, it's suppose to be really good, and in my honest opinion it is. I had mixed feelings about nail files for so long. I have bought cheap sets from ebay, and they are sitting in my drawers since the day I got them. This file, I just used it, and it felt so soft while filing (I hope I make sense), it is not hard on your nails and yet it files pretty quick and very good.

Ethics Behind the Company

Now the thing that pretty much caught my attention, and for me the most amazing thing about this company, is their campaign against child labor. It so amazing that companies do their part in stopping and raising awareness about the struggles that faces our society, even tough we don't see it every day, it happens, so I think this initiative is wonderful. They also avoid the use of plastic and cardboard on their packaging, which contributes to the environment as well.

Where to Get It

You can get this files online at Zamberg website. There is a variety of options, and they have some personalized items, with quotes that are pretty cool, so you can see which one fits your personality as well. I think the price on them is pretty reasonable and affordable, and if you think on the fact of no needing to buy another one ever again... thats a plus!

My Experience 

Hope you find this post helpful, if you did please share it and leave your comments bellow.

Hello Darlings!

How is your week so far?

For today's post I have these nails wraps from Jamberry. It is the first time I tried something like this, because I looove doing nail art myself, on my nails, thats my passion! But let me tell you, this is a great alternative for those who don't have that much time (or patience) in their hand, but still wants their nails to look on point. They have so many designs to choose from, as well as solid color wraps, so there is something for everyone.


I was approached by Desiree on Twitter to try this, so if you are interested or want to learn more about the product, you can contact her here.





**I was not paid to do this post or give certain information, this is my own opinions and reactions about this product that was sent to me to try, and I provide you with the information so that you can do your own research if you like**

I hope you enjoy this post. Take care!

Hey Darlings!

It's time for another wonderful collaboration with my beautiful nail crew! This month's theme: Rainbows!

Aren't you fascinated when you see a beautiful, colorful rainbow? Isn't it wonderful and one of the most beautiful things on earth? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.. I mean..what isn't there not to love??!!

Besides all the beauty behind the colors of the rainbow, to my believe, I think it also reflects the dimensions and variety of individuals, there is always something for everyone...I hope I'm making a little sense here...I think I got carried away lol...

OK, enough of my little non sense... Lets talk NAILS!

Here are the beautiful manicures me and my friends did, reflecting each and everyone unique personalities and style trough the rainbow theme (see this is what I meant before lol)

Feel free to visit these talented ladies over at their social plataforms (mainly Instagram):








For the rainbow I used acrylic paints (Do I have to say "in all the colors of the rainbow?! lol)



Also in this manicure:



Let me know what you think about this and if you love rainbows as we do! Don't forget to share!!

Thank You!

Hello Darlings!

So today my post is dedicated to Earth Day. Somewhere on the web a recently read "We are living at this planet as if we have another one to move to later" and if you stop and think about it, it is so true! I believe everyone can do something to take care of this, our own space in the universe. That little corner that was given to us to live on, benefit from, and grow on, and the least we can do is take care of it in the best way we can. As I said everyone can do something. Just by spreading the word and creating consciousness, we are already doing a part on it. You can also visit the official website for Earth Day (which is celebrated on April 22, but it can and it should be any day of the year) and see how you can take part of this.

And now for the nail art!




 And on the other hand...

  


Hey darlings!

Today I have for you some wonderful swatches. It is the Wet n' Wild Spring 2016 Collection. Ever since I had a look at this collection, I knew right away I needed these colors in my life, so I went on a hunt. I couldn't find it anywhere near me, so I ordered them online on the Wet n' Wild website, and let me tell you, I was amazed by the time they took to get here! (I think it was within a week, so I was pretty happy about that). Enough of my story...let's talk about the collection.

** Please note that this post was not in any way sponsored, neither I was asked to do it, I just liked the colors a lot and wanted to talk about it and show you, so I bought them my self and now we are here** 




Ok, so lets get into it. The collection has four beautiful pastel shades, very easy to apply, with a wide brush that covers most of the nail in one swipe. The shades are:Breeze on By, Lay Out in Lavender, Love Fest, and Kiss my Mints.  They sure scream SPRING!!


Check out the You Tube video I uploaded ;) :


Breeze on By:

This is a light blue shade. Easily apply in two coats. All I can say is, that is goooorgeous!





Lay Out in Lavender:

The purple - ish lavender shade of the collection. Two coats for opacity. Very pretty, almost with a pink tone. With my love for purple, I am totally in love with this one.





Love Fest:

This one represents the light pink in the collection. Two coats, it is almost sheer but it looks very delicate and stunning.





Kiss my Mints:

I think it is safe to say that this one is my favorite of all 4! Ever since I saw the swatches online, I fell in love with it. It is the most opaque of all, so you'll see in the first coat it almost covers completely, although two coats gives the perfect coverage.  Love this shade!!





So, do I think you need this colors? Yes I do! They Nailed it with this collection, and hey they are very affordable too! So if you come across any of this shades, don't miss the chance to grab one, or two or four lol.



Well thats it for this post, let me know if you like it and if you have any suggestions! Don't forget to share, take care!

Happy Painting!!
