KKCenterHK Review

Hi all, recently I was asked to do my first review for the online store KKcenterHK .

Their nail art decorations are really cute and there are so many to choose from! I received N.Nail 2.5mm mix star glitter (NNAIL-Mix-Star-2-5-mm) . 

I picked out some of the gold stars for my mani because I like to keep things the same. I'm really happy with how they turned out. The stars were incredibly easy to use and they look really nice. 

Next up was some N.NAIL Studs Circular Pink 2mm Nail Art Decorations (NNAIL-DRN664) .

I've never used studs before but I found it to be extremely easy. Make sure you work with one nail at a time, use a slow dry top coat and place the studs where you want them to be. I then finished it off with a coat of seche vite. Unfortunately the stamping that I did got a little smudged but overall I'm happy with the final results. The studs look really cute as the flower centres too. 

My experience with this company has been very positive and I will definitely be purchasing from them in the future. As an added bonus they have offered my readers a 10% off for orders valid until 31st Jan 2014. Simply use the code "justanotherpolishjunkie" how great is that! 

Thanks for reading, bye for now,

Arcane + Revlon moon candy

Hi all, it's been a while again I know, I've been wearing naked nails for the last week to try and get my cuticles in order (which, by the way, didn't work! I got lazy and kept forgetting to use my cuticle oil). 

Anyway, today I decided to try Arcane Luna Madness. This colour is gorgeous! It's a black jelly base with pink and blue glitter. I'm not a big fan of wearing black nail polish but this one works. I like! 

So after wearing Luna madness all day I went into target this afternoon and found the Revlon moon candy I've been wanting and it was the last one so of course I had to buy it! I kept Luna madness as my undies and put 2 coats of the flakie side on top. WOW! It is so pretty! I can't stop staring at it!

It reminds me of a black opal. Seriously gorgeous! Thanks for reading, bye for now :)

All the Arcane goodness! 

Hi all, last week I received my amazing Arcane order in the mail! It was my Mother's Day present (gosh my 3 year old knows me well haha). I've been a bit slow putting up a post about this but honestly I've been really unhappy with the pictures I took. My cuticles are a mess at the moment and I could never get the colours to show properly in the pictures. Needless to say I was almost not going to post anything but I have changed my mind so you will just need to see my horrible pictures. 

Firstly, this is what I got 

Don't mind my horrible computer table, it's seen better days! These polishes are so gorgeous! I cat wait for the next preorder for Arcane because from what I've seen so far, they are well worth the wait! If you're interested in ordering any from her next lot you can find out details over at Nail Gun XS

The first one I tried was Bated Breath (chosen by my 3 yr old). It is a super cute shimmery pale green filled with more glitter than you would think. 

I really liked this colour. I used 3 coats for the above photo. 

Next up is The Power The Passion. I am soooo in love with this colour! It is a gorgeous deep purple absolutely jam packed with different coloured glitter. 

Definitely not the best picture but you can see the lovely holo glitter in this picture.  Last but not least is An Amorous Disposition. This is another one I am in love with. It's a gorgeous pink with black, pink and silver glitter through it. 

This photo truly doesn't do the colour any justice. It is so amazing when you see it in person! 

So far they are the only ones I have tried but you can bet it won't be long until you see the rest of these babies! The whole collection is just amazing and I'm so glad I was able to get them all! 

Thanks for reading! Bye for now,

Eye shadow pigment nail art

Hi all, I will start off with saying happy Mother's Day to any mums out there. I hope you all had a brilliant day! My little guy made me a card, a bag of potpourri and bought me some nail polish (of course!). 

Today I decided to try something different. I found a tutorial for this from the lovely Bec from Nail Gun XS , it was a guest post she wrote for the Lacquer Heads of Oz blog.

It is basically using loose eye shadow pigments for nail art. Hers look amazing! Mine are ok for a first attempt ;) I only had 2 loose shadows so not a huge choice to make. I used Pretty Serious CGA and a natio one that I can't remember the name of and it's worn off. 

I used china glaze emotion as the base polish for this and I think it was a little too similar to the natio powder for it to really work. Next time I will use something different. 

Here is a pic of the final result. 

And a bit more of a close up just for good measure. 

This nail art is super messy so be prepared for the clean up. The extra acetone totally dried out my cuticles, these pics were taken AFTER using cuticle oil and moisturiser! Overall though I quite like how it turned out and I will definitely do this again... Perhaps after I invest in some more Pretty Serious eye shadows ;) Let me know if you try this, I would love to see what everyone else comes up with. 

Bye for now!

Pretty Serious review

Hi all, it's been a while again, I know, I just haven't done much worth blogging about lately.

Yesterday I received my first Pretty Serious order and I can't believe I waited so long to try this! The polishes are amazing! They go on so smoothly.

I got poltergeist puddle, atomic brain, galaxy invader and phantom planet, plus an eyeshadow (CGA) and a lipgloss (forbidden fruit). So far I've only tried poltergeist puddle and atomic brain but both have been gorgeous!

Today I have some pics of poltergeist puddle for you all. I did take a pic of atomic brain too but it was just a quick one before I had to run off to work so I've left that out for now.

Here is a close up bottle shot. This colour is seriously amazing.

I am loving this brand and will definitely be ordering from them again. The customer service is fantastic and postage was really quick. The eyeshadow is gorgeous and the lipgloss smells so yummy and both go on lovely too.

Thanks for reading! Bye for now,
