Creepy/Cute Nail Art BLUESEA-RL10D

So I got some products for review last week and I already used the AWESOME nail foil. KKCenterHK also sent me these cool little eyeballs. They fall under a category they call bluesea, which I assume is some term I am not familiar with that means raised sticker decall thing. They arent stickers persay but they remind me of those stickers that are covered in the semi-hard gel to make them cabochon like... gosh this explaination is killing me! Heres a close up picture:



These are a hard plastic cab eye, pretty cool if you ask me! They have a bunch of other ones that are a lot more conventional like bows and butterflies and little square picture things. Go to their website http://www.kkcenterhk.com/index.html and you can find them with the product number BLUESEA-RL10D or just click here for a direct link they are called Roundlet Eyeball.

So I picked a gruesome product so I could do this idea I have had in my mind for forever of gruesome kawaii-like creatures. I wanted blood, gore, zombification, and whatever. This is what I came up with:


I tried to match the eyeball with his other eyeball and make it look like it was hanging on, if i had added some red string or something it might have looked a bit better. But I like the way it turned out!



Want to see the rest? Of course you do!


creepy, morbid, cute, silly, deadly, nail art, zombicorn, gross, adorable




I am super thrilled with how these came out. So the thumb nail is a bunny with an eyepatch:

You cant see it very well but he's got pinked cheeks and ears... super adorable! Then next guy is a punk zombicorn (unicorn)


Hes got bloodshot eyes, dirty blood covered teeth, and a gothic spike/stud for a horn. EEk he might be my favorite. The middle finger has the cute little dude with his eyeball handing out. The ring finger is a nondescript purple dude with a knife stabbing him.


He was a toughie, It took some real persuasion to get my little brother to part with a lego knife when he knew I was going to cut the blade off... yeesh. But I think it was pretty worth it! The last guy is a little dead Nemo


Hes got a little hook hanging out of his mouth and his last dying bubbles are drifting upwards!

So overall I really liked these nails. The eyeball was just what I was looking for. The only drawback is that mine is not re-usable the eyeball design has no protection and peeled right off when I pulled it from the nail... maybe there is a better way to use it... maybe a bit of topcoat to seal it in?
Either way I dont mind four bucks for a really specific one use item... I would rather it be multi use but it is what it is. You guys can get 10% off your order if you use the code NAILFREAK now until the end of next January.

What do you think of my morbid mani, cute right?

KleanColor Blue Maniacs Set

I bought my first Kleancolors last night, I had only heard of Chunky Holo Purple before and I found the Kolor Revolution Set at Ross after I went to vote. There were a bunch of other sets too and they were all $4 bucks. I bought Kolor Revolution and Blue Maniacs. I have been looking at blue polishes lately and thought the colors would make a good ombre nail (like The New Black sets). The Kleancolor set came with six polishes but I used these five:
From the left: Lake Mist, Shining Sea, Kawaii Stuff, Cobalt, Peacock-a-boo. The formula is ok and the ingredient list is free of the big 3... so there's a win, but they smell terrible! The brushes are kinda stumpy so it makes for semi-difficult application and the polishes dry a bit dull. All that said, these colors are great!!! 
I put Lake Mist, a light blue shimmer, on the pinky. The ring finger has Shining Sea, which looked like a glitter in the bottle, but is more of a glass fleck. Kawaii Stuff is on the middle and it looks much darker than in the bottle, but I like that better; it is a rich blue cream. On the pointer is Cobalt. It is a rich deep blue shimmer, very intense (after top coat). On the thumb is Peacock-a-boo. I have no idea what this name means. Its not a peacock color, it isnt duo-chrome, and it doesnt have any peacock characteristics... Its beautiful though! These are two coats of each (sorry about the middle, I didnt do any cuticle clean up).

I'm not a huge fan of pastel colors, so Lake Mist isnt my fave. But I love the turquoise sparkly Shining Sea! Kawaii Stuff will be good in spring/summer, its as pale "pastel" as I'd like, meaning not pastel at all. Cobalt will be a regular, it's got a great saturated color, very good shimmer, and it's just electric in the right light. Peacock-a-boo is an intense navy color. I wouldnt call it a shimmer, more of a foil speckle kind of thing, its a great blue for fall so I will probably use it again before the season is over.

(By the way, I mentioned that the set came with six polishes, but I obviously only have five fingers... I left out Blue Pearl. Its very similar to Lake Mist but slightly different shades, Pearl is a bit more shimmery and slightly more periwinkle. I imagine it will come out a bit darker than it is in the bottle like Kawaii Stuff did.)

I liked the Kleancolor polishes... They go on well and have some great colors. The price was right, so that's always a win. What do you think? Have you used this brand before? Do you have a favorite Kleancolor color?
