Review: LadyQueen - Shell Studs 5mm Silver*

These shell shaped studs are from LadyQueen, they are silver in colour and are 5mm in size. They also come in gold and in 3mm and 5mm in both colours. There are twenty studs within the pack.

The shells are hollow underneath so they stick to the nail by the perimeter of the shell. They don't stick out from the nail too much either which is always good.

To use these I stuck them to wet topcoat but you could stick them down with nail glue. Another tip would be to seal them in to the nail with topcoat.

With these nails I used a pearl stud as well as some caviar beads to help accent the shell nail;

I used some plain round studs as well as the shell studs for these nails;

Review: LadyQueen - Fluorescent Studs*

This wheel is from LadyQueen and contains six different fluorescent coloured studs. Of each colour there are both square studs and round studs. The square studs are 3mm and the round ones are 2mm.

Some nail accessories are overly 3D which makes wearing them a little difficult. These studs aren't huge and don't stick out too much and as such are easy to wear.

In the past I have been known to paint plain silver studs so that they were the colour I wanted, these studs mean I don't have to fiddle about painting tiny squares, waiting for them to dry before applying them. Also they come in fluorescent colours which I don't own in nail polish, so couldn't DIY myself.

To use these I just stick them to my nails while my top coat is still wet, you could use nail glue for a more secure fix. You can use top coat over the top of the studs to seal them in to the nail which will help them to last longer.

Below are some nail designs I have done using the studs, clearly I was feeling the summer when I used these studs!
