Winstonia Designer Nail Wraps Review

The lovely Sherry from Winstonia sent me some amazing Designer Nail Wraps to try out. I loved all the nail wrap design's. It was hard to choose which to try first. I applied Keep it Classy because they were oober adorable. I applied the black and silver nail wraps first. After 14 days I swapped them for the red and silver ones.

Each package contains 20 ultra thin nail wraps and a small pink file.These nail wraps are very easy to apply. The step by step instructions are simple and easy to follow. It should take around 15 mins to apply. For me it took less than that.

Each package comes with a variety of sizes for your nails. Make sure you pick the right size for your nails or it could get difficult to apply without getting air bubbles. I determined which nail wrap would fit which nail before taking it off the sheet. If they are too big for your nails I recommend cutting the sheet with the nail wrap still on it and shape it to your nail size. Cutting them to size if necessary worked perfectly for me.

I applied a top coat after each nail wrap was applied and filed down. I tried doing it when I was done with all of them but I noticed they work better if you apply the top coat right away. One thing to note is that I did not apply a top coat to the plain black nail wrap because it just didn't come out looking too nice. It could have just been my top coat but it's your choice. I used the OPI top coat. Even without a top coat it stayed on the full time I wore them. They didn't come off what so ever. The only problem i had with these is that I got some air bubbles but I believe that it was because I didn't flatten the nail wrap enough. So when applying, apply as much pressure as possible to avoid getting air bubbles.

One thing i loved about using these nail wraps is that it's less of a hassle then doing the actual design yourself. No smudges and worring about the polish chipping. One of the biggest pluses is it looks as though you have glitter nail polish but without having to spend hours applying and removing it. We all know that glitter polish is a pain to take off but with these you can easily remove them.

All of the Winstonia nail wraps are beautifully designed. I highly recommend these to annyone. They are affordable, adorable, and fashionable. Winstonia not only has Nail Wraps but also a big variety of other nail art supplies so check them out. If you would like to view or purchase these I have put the links below.

Blue Flowers Manicure

Artist block! I Lacked major inspiration the last few days.While I was browsing pinterest I found some images that I could use as inspiration. I was on pinterest for a long while.Looking up random pictures and came across a beautiful picture of flowers and patterns which inspired today's mani.

Decided to share the process it took to achieve this manicure with some pictures. They are pretty much self explanatory but feel free to ask questions if your not entirely sure how I did something.

I used the Winstonia brushes I reviewed earlier. If you haven't read my review be sure to check it out. ♡

For the coloring of the flowers as well as the outlines I used acrylic paint. Paint seen in the picture is what I used. I believe there only 63 cents at Michael's craft store.

Winstonia Brushes

The lovely people at winstonia sent me there brushes. I absolutely LOVE them. The package comes with four brushes: three striping brushes and one flat brush. I used the 3 striping brushes to do my manicure.The brushes were very thin so it was perfect for small details. I used them to color the flowers.
I also used the longer striping brush to do the lines around the flowers. Overall these brushes are excellent. They have really pretty blue handles and the striping brushes come in three different sizes.  The flat brush could be used for a variety of things. I used it to clean up around my nails and it worked perfectly. I would honestly recommend them to everyone they are great quality, inexpensive and there perfect for any kind of nail art.

Lion King Nails

This was one of my favorite movies when I was little.I decided to go with Nala and simba since i did these in honor of Valentine's day. And I went with safari themed background for the rest of the nails.

Safari Nail Art

For these nails I was inspired by a picture from pinterest. It didn't have a watermark to properly credit. I did a gradient using nail polish as well as acrylic paint. I then painted the silhouettes of the animals. I lately applied a matte top coat.

Skull and Roses

I really like the theme of skull and roses on nails. I did both of these with that theme but tried different combinations of colors and placement. I probably will do more with this theme because you can never go wrong with these.I just love it.

Valentines Day Manicures

Love, happiness and heartbreak is what I associated FEBURARY with this year. Although not everyone feels excited or happy with valentines day, I took the liberty to portray the bad and good of Valentine's Day.
