Nailene Bedazzled Nail Art - Review

Hey ladies,

I have some awesome nail stickers to share with you that were sent to be from Nailene. This set of Bedazzled Nail art is there Earth Angel collection which is a great assortment of over 100 stickers which include hearts, stars, flowers and more. I also really like the different styles of stickers this pack includes; rhinestones, 3-d, and regular flat.


My previous experience with Nailene's stickers have been great, they apply great and don't budge. Usually they don't even look like stickers, they blend well once a topcoat is added to seal them in. I used Nailene Acrylic Strong topcoat, which added high gloss and sealed in the sticker perfectly.

The stickers I decided to use were the 3-D ones, they look like little metal droplets :)
Unfortunately I did have some minor issues with these stickers.

- Stiffness - these stickers tend to be thicker and stiffer than the original ones, this can make them not as flexible to bend to the shape of your nail bed. Also be very careful when peeling off of the backing, I used my tweezers and it was so stiff it flew up from the tension and I lost it!

- variety (reflection) I used these stickers on my ring fingers so naturally I would want to use the reflecting pattern on the other for a matching look. Unfortunately, the design I chose only came in one design, no reflections.
*note* for most of the other stickers included in this pack, this was not the problem.

Although these were minor issues I still love the look and wear on these bumpy little guys! (which, by the way, are not even all that bumpy!) After a couple of days I did see notice wear on the middle of the circles, but this has been from regular activities I do throughout the day (there is a little black dot in the middle of some of the 3-d circles.)

My overall opinion on these stickers is still love despite my minor issues. Who can deny little metal droplets on your nails!

What do you think about these stickers? What do you think of the polish ;) Think you guys can guess what it is? Full review of this polish with MANY photos to come soon :)

Nail mail

Hey Ladies,

I hope you are still with me! I have been crazy busy this week, I hope to get back to my regular posting schedule on Monday, I'll be getting posts ready for next week over the weekend.

It figures that the week I'm super busy I get the most nail mail! Today I have some samples from Viva La Nails and more products from Nailene.

Below are my new nail stickers! Very pretty and floral.


Next are my water decals, very vibrant and pretty, I got some flowers (colour & black and white) and butterflies :)


Next a sequins, If thats the right word for them. They are glittery and pretty, from left to right top to bottom I have: blue opalescent shells, teal circle outline sequins, opalescent and transparent hearts and black moons. The moons are the coolest! they flash red green and blue!


More sparklies! they look like they are on fire they sparkle so much. Left to right, to to bottom, yellow bar glitter , silver pieces of glitter, red pieces of glitter (all of them flash all the colors of the rainbow!) and pink circle glitter.

Below are the latest products I have received from Nailene. These items include the Acrylic Strong topcoat, Bedazzle (Earth Angel) Nail Art and Couture Runway Design False nails.

I have been wanted to try out the Acrylic strong topcoat for so long, will definitely use this on my next mani. The earth angel stickers have these cool metal looking droplets that literally look like melted metal, they are sooo awesome!

I look so forward to trying and playing around with these new products! Have a great weekend :)
