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;

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 413 (BM413)

This stamping plate is from the forth Bundle Monster set, the first CYO (create your own). It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp, comes covered with a blue cellophane sticker which you have to peel off before use.

On BM413 there are six small images. I really like this plate, lots of sugar skulls and skeletons. Very Halloween appropriate. I had problems getting the delicate skull cluster across, again working quickly helped.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 412 (BM412)

This stamping plate is from the forth Bundle Monster set, the first CYO (create your own). It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp, comes covered with a blue cellophane sticker which you have to peel off before use.

On BM412 there are three full nail images and three smaller ones. The cat image is so cute! All imaged stamped well other than the owl which I had to work quickly to stamp across.

Review: LadyQueen - Rhinestones Flower Square Pentagram Bow Drop Circle*

This wheel is from LadyQueen and contains six different silver with a opalescent finish studs. Standard circles, stars, tear drops, squares, flowers and bows. They are small, measuring around 2mm each.

Some nail accessories are overly 3D which makes wearing tricky. These studs aren't huge and don't stick out too much and so are easy to wear.

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 if you like.

Below are some nail designs I have done using the studs, 

Simple Tear Drop;

Denim Star Studded Nails;

Marble Flower Studded Nails;

Also LadyQueen sent a pack of three adjustable rings, they are more of a C shape ring than a traditional adjustable ring so they don't pinch. As they are adjustable you can wear them as mid rings or as normal rings.

Nail Art Decorations - $4.75
Pack of 3 Rings - $5

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
