A England Love Is Enough from Heavenly Quotes collection - Review and swatches

*PR samples

Hello lovelies,

Today I want to show you another new A England shade called Love Is Enough. It is an addition to the Heavenly Quotes collection. It seems like Adina, the creator of A England brand keeps working relentlessly on new shades because each new shade is just another gem.

Love Is Enough - dark olive green foil base with gold and silver foil flecks. It's a very interesting yet not bold shade (compared to neons or brights of course). The formula was slightly sheerer so I have applied two thicker coats. It applied well without streaks or patches and dried quite fast. I've applied Seche Vite topcoat to get the best possible shine.

I've compared Love Is Enough to OPI Number One Nemesis because I thought they are identical. The truth is, they are very similar but OPI is darker and has a little bit less of the foil flecks.

I've tried to apply silver embossed stickers I received from Born Pretty Store. My past experience wasn't very good as the sticker usually don't stick to my nail properly because it's very curved. This time I've applied the stickers along the nail and they seemed to stick well.

Stickers are available here, you can use 10% discount code LHJ61.

Review of Born Pretty Store Embossed Texture stickers over Clinique Party Red

*PR Sample
Hello lovelies,

Hope you'll all well! Today I'd like to show you an experiment but it is also a review. Every time I went to a hobby/craft shop I've been checking out scrap booking stickers but never really purchased them because they seemed a bit big for nails. But I've always wanted to try them mind and had that nagging feeling somewhere in the back of my mind. So when I was approached by Born Pretty Store if I'd like to try and review their stickers, I was very pleased to say yes!

I have combined two ways of using the stickers - the first one is to stick the stickers on top of the painted nail and the second one sponging silver nail polish over the sticker and then removing it.

I have used Clinique Party Red as a base colour, A England Camelot for the sponged accent nail and Born Pretty Store Embossed Texture stickers.

Don't forget that you can use 10% off discount code LHJ61 for any purchase.

At first glance this seems like a great idea. the stickers look pretty, they are small enough to go on the nail BUT they just don't adhere properly at the edges. I just couldn't make them stick and the ends kept peeling off. I've tried wet polish, nail glue, polishing over it, nothing has worked :( The stickers are too thick for curved nails and they don't keep the shape when bended. I guess I'll have to use them just for decorating photo album. I'm disappointed to say that I can't recommend this product for use on nails.

EDIT: Apparently the stickers work better with UV gel nails so if you're wearing those you might find these stickers will work or you.

First time I tried Nail Stickers! Pictures and review :)

Hey guys, I've had a chance to try Nail stickers from Fashion For Nails e-shop and here are some pictures. Fashion For Nails has the widest range of nail stickers available online so it is worth checking out!

I've never tried nail stickers before, only saw few so I can't compare application.These 3D stickers are very nicely made, good details and they stick nicely too. I've used one thick coat of Seche Vite over them and it fixed them nicely for few days. Overally I like them but I think I will always prefer stamping nail art. I've applied them over CND Veronica from the newest Jason Wu collection.


All the nail stickers I've got for trying
