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!

Something neon orange and fluorescent pink;

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy

Pink and Blue Neons;

Glamour by YOLI2UL - 825

Finally something much less neon;

Nails Inc - New York Noir

$2.70 - LadyQueen

This item was sent for reviewing purposes, that doesn't mean my opinion was influenced by this. Lady Queen were kind enough to offer my readers a 15% off code from their site, if you would like to use this it is ETLC15

Nails: Crushed Floam

I hoped that the Girly Floam base would have shown up better, but it doesn't seem to contrast enough with the Crushed Grape. So I stuck on some rhinestones to try and make the accent stand out more.

Ninja Polish - Girly Floam
Leighton Denny - Crushed Grape

3mm Rhinestones
Striping Tape

Swatch: OPI - Pink Nail Envy (Hawaiian Orchid)

OPI have recently brought out some new shades of the Nail Envy. While the colour versions used to be exclusive to QVC (at least in the UK) now there is three new shades. Below is two coats shown, and the idea is you get all of the benefits of the normal Nail Envy but with the bonus of a nail colour.

EDIT: OPI have renamed Pink Nail Envy to Hawaiian Orchid, and is no longer a QVC exclusive.

Colour: Pink
Finish: Cream
Opacity: Two Coats

This Pink Nail Envy has all of the benefits of standard Nail Envy but in a colour which is great for time saving. Pink Envy I think is only available through QVC.
