*All photos/videos shown with a fast dry top coat unless otherwise stated.
Bees Knees Lacquer-Gengar Style
Described as a pale purple base with holo flakes, gold iridescent flakes, and a scattering of matte black flakes.
Shown here in 2 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. If you have more of a free edge than I do then you may need 3 coats for full opacity. Dries with some texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.
Night Owl Lacquer-Sloth Kisses
Described as a clear base with violet/pink/gold shifting shimmer and micro flakies in taupe, rose gold metallic and holographic.
Shown here in 2 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. If you have more of a free edge than I do then you may need 3 coats for full opacity. Dries smoothly with no texture however a top coat is still recommended for a full, glossy finish.
Fair Maiden-Shake Your Tailfeathers!
Described as a bold blue base with color shifting shimmer green-violet, packed with iridescent and multichrome flakes.
Shown here in 3 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. Dries with some texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.
Ribbits Skickits-Waterslide Decals
$8.00
Instructions:
1. Paint nails, let dry completely.
2. Cut out the desired image.(Try cutting as close as possible to the image)
3. Place in warm water for 5-10 seconds.
4. Using your thumb & index finger slide the paper backing from the image.
5. Lightly dampen the back of the decal.
6. Place image on your nail, pressing down to remove any air bubbles.
7. Seal it with a top coat.
Tip:
If you prefer to use the decal over a colored/darker polish it's best to paint the back of the image with white polish/acrylic paint letting it dry before applying it to the nail.
Disclaimer: I did experience some staining on my nails from the decals. I wore the mani for about 24 hours and with a base coat plus a couple layers of polish underneath but it didn't prevent it. However, this has never happened before in the years I have reviewed and used these decals! I do need to state that my physical health has been wreaking havoc on my nails causing them to be extremely porous, brittle and weak and I believe this may be why it absorbed some of the colorant from the decals since that is the only thing different in play here. Kristy has assured me that she hasn't changed the paper nor ink used on her decals so that is just another reason I believe it is my nails causing the staining to occur so easily. But I did want and need to be transparent just in case others have similar issues with their nails and don't want to risk staining.
Ribbits Stickits-Acetone Additive
A scented glycerin and oil mixer that you mix with your acetone to prevent drying from pure acetone.
Using this makes it so your nails and cuticles aren't left with that yukky white residue, dry nails and dry cuticles. This is an 15ml bottle in the scent of "Squishmallows" which is described as a Toasted Coconut Smores with a sweet, rich blend of coconut, chocolate, graham crackers with a butter cream and vanilla base.
Ingredients: Glycerin, Distilled Water, Fragrance Oil, Polysorbate 80, and Jojoba Oil
