Review: LadyQueen - Penguin Nail Stickers QJ-3D-606*

 

This sheet of nail stickers is from LadyQueen. There are four different designs and you get six of each design. Three are penguins, and I think the other two are seals.

They are stickers so all you need to do is peel them off the backing and stick them to your nails. I like to use a top coat to seal them in so they don't get caught in my hair.

I know it is still August so summer here in the northern hemisphere but I had to add some snowflakes to these penguin nail art!

I also used the seal stickers for a French manicure twist;

Swatch: Barry M Croc Effect - Burgundy

This is the Burgundy Croc Effect polish, I have already swatched the black one here, and compared the finish / effect to the crackle effect Barry M Polishes here.

So the basic idea is this is a polish you paint over another polish which isn't dry, has to be touch dry but not 100% dry. It takes longer than the ordinary crackle type polishes as well.

I have swatched this over a navy and a pink polish to show how it works. Basically it isn't very opaque and so you will have to use it over lighter colour bases.

 

I did notice a bit of a weird thing happening... it split quicker over my nail bed. I imagine it is something to do with my body heat.
