Review for 15 Brush Set From KKCenterHk

So; I received this set of 15 brushes from KKCenterHk. I love this kind of sets. They have almost every brush you could possibly need. I already had 2 sets similar to this, one at $2,99 and the other at about $5-8. The set I am reviewing costs $13,50. I've got to say that this set is waaaaay better than the cheaper ones. As someone who buys the cheapest version of everything possible, it pains me to say that the quality of paint brushes shows in the price. The all the brushes are perfectly soft and pointed (at one angle at least). The detail brushes are the textbook definition of perfection. Seriously.
Btw: Use the code "brushmeblush" to get a 10% discount when buying from KKCenterHk.
And to show you these brushes in work I have prepared 4 video tutorials for you.

Stripes and Roses

This is a review for a mixed nail decoration wheel from Born Pretty Store.
I've got to say this is probably my favorite item like ever. It has everything, fimo, little plastic bows, acrylic flowers, pearls and rhinestones. This is perfect if you don't use a lot of 3d decorations but you would like a large selection when you do. The wheel itself is the biggest I own (has a diameter of 8,3 cm). 
Look at that I made an elegant design. It's really nice for a change. Oh, and btw, the leaved do not come with the item, I made them myself from acrylic.
And  don't forget about my coupon code SCL91. 

Patched Up Perfection

So, I got this stamping plate from Born Pretty Store. It's absolutely adorable. The design is so detailed. Stamps perfectly. However it's a few millimeters too small to cover my nails.

Salt Painted Nails Tutorial

So I have finally done a tutorial for this. I would have done one it sooner but, I ran out of matte polish. I had a matte top coat form h&m, it was perfect. It dried so fast and looked so perfect. Every time I go to h&m I buy the matte top coat. I have five of them, only the first one works. The last four have taken ages to dry and dried shiny. Such a shame.
So I got a soft pink matte polish from Born Pretty Store. Gosh, this took ages to dry (6 min). It is completely opaque, which is amazing for a pink polish. Quite easy to apply and smells amaaaazing. So with the help of the tutorial you can have nails that taste and smell sweet (I replaced the salt with powdered sugar).
Video:

There are sooo many more cool designs I could do with matte polish, I need to get more of it...





Mask Water Decal Nails

This is a review for mask water decals from Born Pretty Store.
I really like applying water decals, I don't now why. They are so much thinner and easier to work with than stickers. The also are a lot easier to remove. Anyway, nails:

I Moustache You A Question

... but I am shaving it for later. Gosh, how old is this pun. However I still like it.


This is a review of the moustache 3d decals from Born Pretty Store. The decals are made from plastic and very light. They come in 12 cute colors and you get 2 of each. Which for me is more than enough. An overall great product. The lines however aren't as good as they could be, oh well.
