Moderndoll Eye Mystic Black Contact Lenses (tutorial/ review)

Hi guys, I received a package last week and it came from Bornprettystore.. We all know that they sell nail art tools. but they also sell some beauty products nowadays. I really like the doll eye look contact lens that they sent me. I made a review/tutorial using it. 

Product Decription:
Specifications: 
DIA:18.2MM BC:8.6MM

WEIGHT:35G
Thin edge design

Extreme comfort & UV Protection

Easy adaption

Sandwich Technologic-color inside
Can be worn for 6 months, as long as they are cared for properly. 

model: aya, my sister

photographed / reviewed by : yours truly



Here's how to use contact lenses properly:
1. First you have to wash your hands with soap and water, make sure your hands are clean and there is no residue of any oil or lotion because that could irritate your eyes.

 2. Using contact lens holder, place the contact lens into the tip of your pointer finger.
 3. With your eyes wide open, put the contact lens into the center portion of your eye.
4. After you are finished using them,make sure to clean it before putting them back on the lens case filled with adequate lens care solution.

 tada! here's the before and after look! 
* You can easily distinguish the difference between an eye with contact lens and one without. The eyes are more vibrant and bright.
 Final outcome!!! 

NOTE: This product was sent to me as a gift. I made this review based on my own ideas and preference on how to use them. My opinions about the quality of the said products are based on my personal judgements and the outcome of my usage.

WIC by Herôme - Colourful Curaçao collection

Hello everyone! :-) For this post I have swatches from Dutch brand WIC by Herôme. Every now and then WIC comes up with a limited collection. And I'm always very excited to see them because they often contain interesting colors or finishes that really stand out against their core collection which mostly consists of cremes. This time I'm showing you the Colourful Curaçao collection, a mix of bright shimmers and two frosts, let's have a look at the polishes then!



Kontiki Beach - A lovely violet shimmer. The formula was amazing and it needed two coats for coverage. Usually I'm more drawn to blue-toned purples but I think Kontiki Beach is just gorgeous!



Mambo Beach - A typical old-fashioned pink frost that our mommies used to wear a few decades ago... (Though it appears much more orangy on the pictures.) I tried to be open-minded when I swatched this polish, but I really don't like it. That color combined with the frosty finish is just so dated. The good thing however, is that brushstrokes were easy to avoid. I applied two coats and as you can see, the frosty finish is almost perfectly smooth.



Blue Bay - The second frost in this collection, a silver with small hints of blue/purple. The color was hard to capture in my pictures though, in real life it's less purple and more silver. Blue Bay looked quite interesting in the bottle, but unfortunately it's not that pretty on the nails. I used two coats for coverage and extreme brushstrokes were just inevitable. :-( 



Cabana Beach - A bright turquoise shimmer. Ooh, I love this one! The color, formula and application are great. The only thing that would make Cabana Beach even better is if it covers in less than three coats, other than that it's perfect!



Banda Bou - I was most excited to try out this polish. The dusty, yellow-toned green color is already interesting, but then there's that subtle silver pearly finish that completes it. Yellow-toned greens normally aren't my cup of tea, but this one I like. Look at that unusual color and finish. ^^ I applied 2-3 coats.



Daaibooi Beach - Last but certainly not least! Daaibooi Beach is a rich, blue-toned green shimmer. It's quite an unusual color for a spring collection, but who cares when it's this pretty, it has so much depth! This one also needed three (thin) coats, but you can probably get away with two thicker ones as well.

So here you have it, WIC's Colourful Curaçao collection. I honestly like the whole collection except for the two frosts, but I'm glad to see WIC has the courage to try something different, who knows what they'll come up with next time. What do you think of these polishes?

W.I.C. nail polishes are available in the Herôme online shop for €7.50 per bottle of 0.7ml/0.2 fl.oz., or 12.50 for two. Shipping is worldwide.

These polishes were sent to me for review.

Full Tribal Mani


Hello everyone! And happy Mother's Day to all the mommies out there. :-) Yesterday I already showed you my tribal accent nail. And as much as I liked it, I couldn't stop wondering how a full mani with the black and white pattern would look, et voilà! ^^ I had a lot of fun working on it and I can't wait to do it again in different colors, any color schemes you suggest?

Black and White Tribal


Oooh, more tribal nails! I hope you don't mind. :-) I just love how detailed it looks with only little effort, especially if you use it for an accent nail only. Also it's a cute eyecatcher that way and a great excuse for being lazy, haha. The tribal print was freehanded with a white striper polish over black and the purple is OPI's Planks A Lot. Thanks for stopping by!

Gold Tribal





Hi everyone! I hadn't done a freehand design in a while so today I made a detailed tribal pattern on a few accent nails. The basecolor is the lovely Westside Warrior from China Glaze and I used a gold striper polish (Janet #115) for the nail art. Though it looks pretty detailed it was really simple to make. I drew a few stripes on each nail and then I filled in the bigger stripes with dots or zigzags, that's it! I hope you like it. :)
