Born Pretty Store 3D Acrylic Rose Mold;

hi; wow, 3 posts in one week? yup, im just as surprised :P

a while ago, Nicole over at Born Pretty Store sent me a package that included a 3D Acrylic Rose Mold.


here's a picture of the mold in the package [on the left] and the mold out of the package [on the right].


here is the mani i did: the pink is 3 coats of Etude House's PK010 Pinkade; the silver gradient was done with Studio M's Sex Symbol; i added some rhinestones and pearls; i used white acrylic powder [which didnt really turn out white, but its ok] and the rose mold; then i accented the tips of the rose with white acrylic paint; and topped the mani off with a coat of clear gel polish.


here is another angle of the mani; its not color accurate, but ughh! i just looooved this mani ! :D it was super sparkly irl; the pictures dont do any justice! i think i'll probably do another mani like this soon :)

CVS 6-in-1 Manicure Tool Review;

hi~ a while ago, Megan of Health Enterprises sent me a CVS 6-in-1 Manicure Tool.


the tool contains 'a dual-sided cuticle pusher and cleaning stick, nail brush, nail clippers and a dual-sided nail buffer and nail file' and is sold in CVS stores.


here's how the manicure tool looks from above and from the side.

i've had the chance to use the cuticle pusher and i like it. its very smooth and works really well~ ooh, also, the handle is made of silicon so its really comfy.

a big thanks to Megan of Health Enterprises for the tool. be sure to check out the Health Enterprises facebook.

have a good one!,

MASH 15 Piece Nail Art Brush Set Review;

hi~ so, about a month ago, Logan over at MASH Nails kindly sent me a MASH Professional 15 piece Nail Art Brush Set for review.

the packaging is so nice!~





the brushes still have the plastic coverings/tubes on them.

lets take a closer look at the brushes;

the bottom is a really tiny dotting tool :)




fan brushes~ i havent used fan brushes for any of my nail art but maybe i should start now :)








the bottom brush is already my favorite :D i did a bad job cleaning the tip from the previous use .. thats why the brush is still dirty :P

i've been able to use a few of the brushes to do some manis lately .. and i already love them ! seriously, if you're into nail art, planning on doing nail art, need new brushes, or want to try new brushes ... this MASH Professional 15 piece Nail Art Brush Set is so worth the $9.99 !

a big thanks to Logan of MASH Nails for sending me the set. be sure to check out the MASH Nails website to check out their items; they have more nail art supplies as well~

have a good one!,
