Hey!
Sorry to have been gone so long.
I took a bit of an unexpected break from blogging for a few reasons, just one of which being that all my nails decided they were going to break off and look terrible so I needed to give them a bit of a break. I took the time off to work on a couple of other things too but now my nails are back in fighting form I am so glad to be able to do my nails and blog again.
Today I have a review for you.
A while back I received this Nail Stud Wheel from the Born Pretty Store to review.
I love anything with studs so I could not wait to experiment with these!
As you can see there are 12 sections each holding a different stud making it ideal if you are yet to try nail studs. There are plenty to play with in each section, and I love that there is a mix of Gold, Silver and Black studs in there along with different sizes and shapes.
I wanted to do something to show as many of the different types of studs as I could get away with in one design and here's what I came up with.

I used Barry M Gelly Effect Lychee and Barry M Black for the nail art then applied a coat of Barry M All In One Basecoat/Topcoat/Nail Hardener over the top and applied the studs while that was still wet. Once they were all in place I let them dry for a little while then finished with a coat of China Glaze No-Chip Top Coat.
The studs lie quite flat to the nail and aren't too big which helps them last longer on the nail without catching on anything, mine lasted a full three days before I lost the first stud.
I have been so impressed with this little wheel of wonder that I have used studs in almost every design I've done since they arrived, so expect to see a lot more of them!
