Sponge dabbed Ombre

I found out that when doing gradient nails, it really helps to paint the base white, an extra effort but really paints the pictures loud :)

Nails Accessories Review- Part 1

It's always exciting to try out new products that may bring about magical effects or multiple convenience to your DIY sessions. Here are some to consider, and some to consider not?
 
1) OPI Correct and clean up
Its a simple invention, a pen-like eraser for small errors on your cuticles/sides. I deliberately over-painted on my little toe and used the pen.
 
What's Good?
It's filled with polish remover and a flattened tip that lets you clean up the flawed edges. Much friendlier than using a traditional Q tip that has round tip. The flat shape allows u to reach the inner sides easily :)
 
What's Not?
The tip is kind of hard, so the removal isnt very smooth. Probably because my errors were quite thick, so it erased along with a little polish on the body. Need to wipe away the stains on tissue too, an additional step.
 
 





2) Nail-dry Protector
Comes in a set of 10. Allows you to clip on your fingers so that they dont accidentally knock onto each other.

What's Good?
Really easy to use, clip it on and it serves its purpose while you maybe read a book or drink some tea.
Especially useful when you have nail art on or thick layers of polish

What's Not?
Tedious to put on 10 of them. Yes i admit i'm lazy.. Also, if u do bend your fingers, the tip can come into contact with all sorts of danger. So its only defence is against the neighbouring finger!

3) Nail Art Do it yourself!
A set of 2 colours with 3 uses
 
What's Good?
A brush, a thin tip and beads. All in a pen! Oh i love the packaging as well :)
 
What's Not?
 Well the colour combi is really neon, and I find it hard to match any design. but that's a biased compain.. Oh and it doesnt stand firm like a bottle so when u are using the brush end, u better ensure the polish dont spill!
