Zippers!

Author: marta  //  Category: China Glaze, Cult Nails, KKCenterHk, Orly

Hello Lovely Ladies,

(Yesterday was the London and Area blogger meetup and I hope to put a little post up about it sometime this week.  All I have to say for now is that it far surpassed my expectations, and it was a VERY memorable event for me ;) )

For today, I would like to show you a product that was sent to me from KKCenterHk.  This is a, new to me, online e-tailer that carries all sorts of REALLY unique nail art/nail accessories items!  I actually got THREE products from KKCenterHk, but will focus on the Gold Zipper Water Decals for today:

(N.NAIL Zipper Water Decals Nail Art Metallic Gold- WDHHC086)

This package contains 20 Gold Zipper Water decals.  The gold zippers are REALLY metallic and highly reflective on your nail creating a really lovely effect.  These water decals are NON-Sticky so when you go to apply them onto your nail (I put together a water decal application photo-tutorial HERE) they are VERY easy to position/slide into place before you seal them with topcoat.

I started out by selecting two water decals and cutting them out.  Using them as a template (by placing them dry -still attached to the white backing- against my nail) I got a better idea of how far down my nail to paint my base color; my base color was ONE coat of Cult Nails Time Traveler.

I then used the saran wrap technique with China Glaze Electric Beat and Orly Au Champagne.  On the pinky finger I added two gold Cult Nails round studs.

* * *

I placed the water decals (one at a time) into a small bowl with lukewarm water submerging them completely.  After 20 seconds I used tweezers to remove the decal from the water and gently slid it off of the white backing and onto my nail.  I used nail clippers to trim the decal by the edges where it was a little longer.  I then dabbed the decal dry with a Kleenex before applying a topcoat.

If you use a decal on EACH nail this package will last you for two full manicures (as there are 20 decals).  However, if you work it into your manicure as accent nails you can actually get quite a bit of wear out of this package of water decals.

If you are interested in picking up a package of these Gold Zipper Water Decals from KKCenterHk you may do so HERE.  And as a bonus you may use coupon code: CHITCHAT for 10% off of your entire purchase ;)

Do you use Water Decals in your manicures?

Have you ever shopped at KKCenterHk before?

THANK YOU FOR READING!

    When I clicked this link, I let out a noise that made everyone in the room go What! I love this everything about it from the base which looks like denim WOW and the zippers are fantastic these are now on my buy list , you are so clever missy! :D

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      LOL… sorry for frightening the people around you ;)

    I saw this mani when you posted it on Twitter (Instagram?) and LOVED it! I couldn’t wait for you to publish it here, so I could see WHAT THE HECK did you use :D I can see now that you got in touch with one of my favorite online stores ;) You did an amazing job with the colors, technique.. everything! One of my favorite manis from you ;)

    I have actaully received seven (!!) products to review from that company a while ago and I have yet to play with three of them :) They were THE ONLY online store so far interested in making a “collaboration” with me (sending me products for review) – being a baby blogger is so hard! – , so that easily makes them my favorite :D I can’t wait to see what else you got!

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      This online store is new to me (but I know that you received a number of awesome goodies from them). I LOVE how unique their items are… honestly! And I don’t know if you got yours in a lovely old-fashioned envelope but I found that to be quite charming :D
      I like it when companies are willing to reach out to talented bloggers and not always rely on numbers :D
      (I have really AWESOME skull water decals – which I will post on this week, and silver peacock feathers ;) next week)

  • http://glittericity.blogspot.com/ Amanda | Glittericity

    Holy cow, Marta, you’ve really outdone yourself this time! That looks SO awesome! :)

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Yaaay! Thank you soo much. I’m very glad you like it :D

  • Pink Pamalamma

    This is so great!! I love how you paired the zippers with the blues, giving it a denim jeans look! Super cute!

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Thank you :D I’m very glad you like it. :D I appreciate your comment

  • Kimber_Bling

    Marta you are a genius!!! This is thinking waaaay outside the box and I love it! Great work :)

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Don’t know if I deserve the title of “genius” but I’ll soak in it for just a second. Thank you :D
      I had NO idea this manicure would be so well received … honestly :D

  • http://polishetcetera.blogspot.com/ Rebecca

    I love this! The saran wrap technique makes the perfect denim, and then the zippers and studs? Awesome!

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      THANK YOU! The saran wrap technique is actually really quick and relatively easy :D Glad you like the combo

  • Lillibit NAW

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Yaay… This etailer really does seem to have some UNIQUE items to choose from. I stand by the water decals and their good quality. I have a set of skull decals and peacock feathers that I will post on VERY shortly. Please remember to use the code CHITCHAT to save 10% ;) when/if you do place an order (no benefit to me BUT you could save a few cents ;) )

  • Lou is Perfectly Polished

    Marta these are so clever. They look amazing. I am definately going to order and give this a try. Inspirational as always :) xx

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      THANK YOU.
      I am glad you enjoyed this post enough to want to give it a try in the future. Please remember to use the code to save just a little bit (safe the difference for a coffee ;) on me lol)

  • emlangille

    I definitely need to try out water decals! I haven’t before but this look is SO cute. I love it <3

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      WHAT!?!?! Never tried water decals?!? Oh we must change that! ;)

  • http://twitter.com/KLenz85 Karen Lenz

    I LOVE this Marta! I remember we talked about the zippers and I was basicly indifferent, you changed all that!! I love these :) Also I’m in the same boat as Nusa, I have a great fondness for KKCenterHK for providing my little blog with products to review. Excellent look!!

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Yaay. These truly are lovely! And I know that the pack only has 20 decals BUT for accent nails they can carry quite a long way ;)
      I remember that feeling of alliance and appreciation for a company that is willing to send their product to GREAT new/up and coming blogs ;)
      That is to be applauded for sure!

  • http://polishedindulgence.blogspot.com Carmela

    THIS IS AWESOME!!! Was it the same kind of water decals like the ones from Born Pretty? I’m really, really interested in these zipper ones! I love the look you did! It really does look like denim! This is easily one of my fave manis and I have promptly bookmarked it in my “to try” folder. :D

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Yes, these water decals work/apply just the same as the BP Store ones BUT these zippers have a highly metallic/reflective finish rather than just being colorful ;)
      I’m so glad that this manicure is so well received :D I didn’t expect it to be such a “hit” ;)

  • Maria Zaytseva

    So jeansy!!) You’re amazingly creative)

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta
