Review: 3mm Sparkling Water Opalescent Studs Nail Accessories

These are listed on the Born Pretty Store as "Sparkling Water Drop Flat Back Nail Studs Charming 3D Nail Art Decoration". They come in 3mm and 4mm, these are the 3mm version.

You get a small resealable bag of 10 3mm studs, The description of these are sparkling water drop studs, I would describe them as being opalescent on the base with a clear domed plastic shape over the top. 

These are very pretty to the eye and change depending on the angle you are holding them on, in the way a duo-chrome polish is. Because of this it is very difficult to accurately photograph them!

They are described as being 3D, while they aren't flat they don't stick out too much. To use them I pressed them on to tacky polish, you could use nail glue for a stronger hold. You can use them in a simple nail look of go for something more elaborate such as adding to stamping which I show below.

First I used them as a cuticle accent;

I then thought it would be interesting to use them as an accent to some stamping;
