Nail Art Part 1

MOYOU LONDON STAMPING SET

Review

For the past year I've been into nail art and I have been fascinated with Moyou London. Everyone in the nail stamping community loves the plates and guess what? I am no exception!  I received this stamping set as a Christmas gift from hubby.

These set comes with 2 stamping plates, 1 scraper, 1 stamper and 3 stamping polishes with an instruction booklet. This is the perfect gift for someone who is new to nail stamping or it just starting to build up their stamping collection.

I started off with a Konad stamper, a few round plates but I wasn't getting very good results so I researched online and came across the brand Moyou London to be popular.  I really love their plates, they are edged very well, transferred perfectly and come in an unique rectangular shaped plate.

Their stamper is white and round, squishier than others I've tried. The scraper is quite small but works well and it is super cute.

Their nail stamping polishes are of high quality, just like the Konad ones.

Here are some sample manicures I've done using Moyou London stamping kit:

In conclusion, this is a great started nail stamping set, I highly recommended to anyone interested in trying out nail art stamping.

Sensationail Review

I was dying to try this product for a long time. My husband gave me the french manicure Sensationail for my birthday this year. It was a bit difficult to follow the steps and to use the strips for the first time. I was disappointed when it first chipped after only 3 days. I blamed it on my poor application (even thought I followed all the instructions) but when I attempted a second time around, the same thing happened.

Trying without the white plastic strips worked a lot better. I only used the pink that came in the kit and voila, chipped free nails for 7 days.  Although the box said up to 2 weeks wear, but because I am a stay home mom and do a lot of washing up and cleaning without gloves (sometimes I do use it), it didn't last the full 2 weeks.

Overall, I was pleased to see that my manicure lasted a whole week without chipping. The best part is that I could apply a regular nail polish colour on top and change the look. Even better, I managed to practice nail stamping on my Sensationails and take off whatever didn't come out right. I will recommend this product to someone who is patience, has at least an hour to do their nails and who will dedicate the time for the take off process which can take sometime.

May/June Favorite random products

 

My favorite nail product: Nailene Calcium Gel Tip Kit

I absolutely love this product.  The product is described as odorless advance nail strengthening system; it comes with 2 sets of style tips: French or Naturals.  

I used the French style tips for my birthday in June and they looked amazing, it was so easy to apply and lasted quite a long time considering my 24/7 tear and wear as a mom. I have a very sensitive sense of smell, the product is not completely odorless but it doesn’t bother me at all.  I have also been using it to repair any broken nails and it last until I am ready to fix it. I will highly recommend this product to anyone, it is easy to apply, fast drying and easy removal as long as you follow their instructions.

Cloth diapers: Pop ins

I recently got the Close parent: Pop in new generation little box + bamboo. These are reusable nappies that come in a box of 5 in the bright palette colors.   I have been using them for a few weeks now and I really like them. When I first started cloth diapering my son, I never heard of them, the popular ones were the Tots bots but in all honesty, I prefer the Pop ins. 

The absorbency is great with the bamboo fabric, a natural hypoallergenic material.  The rise is really high which means that it now fits my toddler. It will get really small and the largest setting truly will fit until potty training.  The little box comes with a night time booster that keeps my baby dry for 10 hours! The shell is fast drying but the bamboo insert does take quite a bit longer, this heat wave helps a lot.

The main features of the nappy are: 

• ·         Waterproof shell allows the baby’s bottom breathe

• ·         Double gusset to protect against leaky legs

• ·         Absorbent panel draws and holds more wetness in the middle of the nappy

• ·         Soft waistband for a secure & comfortable fit

• ·         Simple aplix fastening for faster change time

• ·         Removable soaker and booster pop in or out for different absorbency and fast drying

In overall, I believe the pop ins are a good quality nappy, so far I had no leaks day or night, fast drying and enough room for my toddler to grow into.

Disposable nappy liners: Boots Brand

I am pleasantly surprised by these liners. They are strong and soft. They don’t disintegrate like other liners do.  It comes in a handy plastic packing like disposable wipes and it is easy to pull them out. My only complaint will be that they are too long.
