Allo polish Pals, How are you today? I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I'm sorry for being a bad blog monkey, things have been kind of weird.... I'm doing ok with the exercise and healthy eating, mostly. But today I just hit a road block.. I didn't want to do anything, I didn't 'feel' like anything. I know home sickness gets easier in time and keeping busy is usually good for me. I guess today I just needed to chill a little. I was stuck in a rut (too many manicures ideas in my head is dangerous) today but that all changed when I had a little cheer up nail mail from The Born Pretty Store. Today I am going to be showing you my first manicure using these beautiful gems, “2mm-5mm delicate dropping heart design, 3d rhinestones”. Ooh, ohh!! come see!

These beautiful gems come in a large nail art wheel and contain and contain different sized gems in heart shape, water droplet shade and as a normal round stud. This set includes 350 pieces, yummy, right?! Maybe you might find them quite large for your nails but I find they fit nicely on me, they lie neatly and flatly onto the nail bed. The studs are acrylic resin. You get two different colours, As you'll see here I am wearing the gems which are the lightest in colour, they are gorgeous iridescent which gleam a light spectrum of colours. The second type of studs in this wheel are blue based but shifts beautifully through the rainbow giving a really gorgeous effect to manicures. I am in love with these as I used to wear two glass heart pendant's which would match them perfectly.
These studs are a real winner in my eyes.
For this manicure I began by applying two coats of Color Club's 'Cloud Nine' to all my nails excluding my ring finger. I then used tape to section off my selected area's and applied Barry M's 'Pearl' from the silk collection. I then applied my top coat of China Glaze's 'First And Last' and applied my gems using tweezers. For my ring finger I switched the colours, that's all.
What do you think of these beautiful iridescent studs? Have you tried any studs like this before; how would/did you chose to wear them?
Have a great night!
Love
Ithi
