Nail Water Decal Haul

Just bought several water decal (or sometimes call as nail stickers / nail tattoo) on internet.
I'll share some of it with you, the designs are so cuteeee

 I love butterfly 

(even though, it's all written in Japanese, but I'm not sure it's made in Japan, I assume this is made in China, since the price is cheap)

Barbie, who can resist it?

Disney Princesses (so cute)

Big sheet ^.^

I got 3 different brand, and the price are quite the same around 80-99 nt (Taiwan dollar) or under 35,000 IDR (so cheapppp for those big sheet of water decal). I've seen the water decal brand Sha-nails (I think it's made in Japan and the price is 600 nt for only half of this big sheet water decal) 

At the back of the sheet the have simple instruction on how to use it

I've used this brand (Ble nail sticker) before, this quite good and cheap  

This brand is "Poetry Jas" when I read the instruction, I just.......

Simple Snake Skin Nail art (Stamping Nail)

Chinese New Year 2013 - The year of Water Snake.

So excited about this coming years, cause there will be a longgg holiday in here, Taiwan. So to celebrate the chinese new year I try the snake skin nail, I use 2 different methods. 

The first method: 

1. I paint 2 coats of china Glaze 'Nude' 

2. Then used a garlic or vegetable net wrapped around my finger

3. Then using a sponge I dabbed OPI 'Pros&brons' and 'Warm&Fozzie' all over the nail 

4. finally I use Konad stamping nail M57 plate then sec he vite top coat  and this is the final result:

The 2nd method I used, is very simple, just use the sponge and dabbed OPI 'Pros&brons' and 'Warm&Fozzie' all over the nail 

*Ops, the glitter can be very messy

And here is the result;

So easy and simple right ^.^

Are you also excited for the Chinese New Year? what will be on your nails?

Etude House Etoinette Versailles Nails review

I'm sure, most of you already heard of Etude House's Etoinette collection, so I grab the nail series from that collection

They have 2 choices of nail set from this collection. I got mine in #01 Versailles Rose

and the other one that I didn't buy is purple based color 

*this pic I got from Etude House Taiwan website: www.etudehouse.com.tw

Anyway, let's look inside the box :

We have 3 nail polishes: Mint Leaf, White Rose Dew, Water Rose (from left to right)  @ 4ml and 1 sheet of nail sticker (but I would call it nail tattoo- cause you have to soak in the sticker first in order to use it) 

The swatches:

Mint Leaf, White Rose Dew, Water Rose (from left to right)- 2 coats without top coat, no flash and taken indoor.

I love mint leaf color so much, It's pastel green but it has gold shimmer in it, so beautiful. The water rose, it's pastel coral pink color, the color didn't flatter my skin, It looks off for my skin. 

For mint leaf and water rose 2 coats + 1 coat of white rose dew, and for the middle finger 3 coats of white rose dewe, without top coat, no flash and taken indoor.

WOW!! I love the GLITTER (white rose dew) so much, the glitter are mix of small round, big round chunky and even square gold glitter. I LOVE IT!!!. This glitter make the water rose (my index finger) looks very pretty (I love it with the glitter, not to wear it alone). 

In conclusion: 

What make me love this nail pack;

1. The color combo are pretty, it's feel like spring/summer
2. The Glitter nails are amazing 
3. The bottle are slim and light, make it easier to carry on for traveling 
4. The princess craving on top of the bottle make it look so cute and girly (and the cap is pink ^.^)
5. They gave nail tattoo instead of cheap nail sticker

The cons:

- The price is slightly expensive than the other series pack. As far as I know they usually sold nail pack (as dolly 3 steps nails series, juicy cocktail series) for 290 nt and for this collection I got mine for 380 nt.   Is it over pricing?
