Review: KKCenterHk Pink Little Flower & Colorful Flower Water Decals

Today I am bringing to you another product from KKCenterHk:  Pink Little Flower [WDSY1187] & Colorful Flower [WDSY716]  water decals nail art decorations.  The reason why I am combining this post is because after making one hand set of each water decal look, I thought "Hey I am going to wear one look on one hand and the other one on the other hand."  Sadly when I took these photos I used the same hand to model them haha!  So sorry for the confusion, but on to those decals!

If you are unclear how to use water decals here is a quick tutorial on it:



Basically what you need:

  • A cup/bowl of water obviously
  • Scissors
  • Your water decal sheet.  NOT STICKERS!
  • Paper towel or tissue
  • Tweezers is optional
  • Your nails done

When I mean by done, have your base color done at least so you could apply the decals on them.  They do not need to have a top coat already on them.

Next cut out the design you want for each finger and set them to the side.  When you are ready to start putting these on, remove the protective plastic sheath/layer on it.

Dip your decal into the water carefully, and let it sit in there for a few seconds.  Be sure that your decal does not bob to the bottom or side.  You'll have issues trying to lift it out.


Take the decal out of the water with your tweezers, and place it image side down on to your finger.  Slide the paper back and you will see the image upon your finger.  With the image finger angle it right to where you would want it on your nail.  Like how you use a stamper from a stamp plate rock your finger left and right on that area to put it.  Dab off any access water that may be on it with a paper towel or tissue paper.  Afterwards seal it with your favorite topcoat.

Immense nail art work as needed!

Review: KKCenterHk Microbeads Decorations Nails Art [N.NAIL-DRN382]

Hey beautiful!  *says in my best Joey way* How you doin?  Today I am bringing you another item I have received from KKCenterHk which is their microbeads decorations.  I went for their green grass microbeads [DRN382], since if you know me mint shades are honestly one of my favorites.  This was going to be my first time using microbeads.  I always wanted to try out caviar...fish eggs...microbeaded nails, but I never got the chance to until now.  So thanks to them I was able to experience something different and out of my comfort zone.
How gorgeous is that color of microbeads?  It was fun none the least having them on, but I eventually had to take it off due to the fact I couldn't resist haha.  Though I will be doing occasional accent nails of it time to time.

The bottle size is 5cm x 1cm, and you could do about two looks with it.  What I mean by two looks is basically four hands all nails done by it.  Hope that makes it more clear.  It honestly depends though how you spruce it up.  If it is an occasional accent nail then it will last much longer.

Nail Polish: Essie Mojito Madness

I received this polish from Klout.com and would not be possible without you many followers!  So thank you for making this possible!
I was so excited upon getting one of Essie's summer collection polishes for free.  At first they made it sound like it was more than one, but either way I was happy.  If you know me, you know I love my polishes!
Oh Mojito Madness you are one serious gorgeous lime green color.

I say this would look super nice with some hot fuchsia shade on top of it.  Got to do a nail look with this polish soon. 
I love the formula of Essie nail polishes.  Though sometimes I try to avoid spending $8+ on polishes, they are still worth the grab here and there.
Do you have a favorite Essie polish?  Did you get the Essie perk from Klout?
