I'm loving these studs from Born Pretty (product page). They sit quite flat on the nail unlike bullion which sticks out quite a bit.
I'm a picker so these are ideal for me because I'm not niggling at them all day, desperate to scrape them off like I am with bullion and basically anything else I stick on my nails. It doesn't normally take that impulse more than a few hours to completely overwhelm my brain so that I have to cave in and pick away at them until they're all off haha! I'm sure a lot of you know what I'm talking about!
I'm not sure about this design - I probably wouldn't wear it again to be honest but I'm glad I tried it. Maybe there's just a bit too much going on for my taste or it didn't turn out quite how I imagined it in my head. Either way, I think it's worthy of a spot in stud week!
I used Rimmel Blue Vogue as a base colour. I painted one coat on each nail and painted on the second coat of colour one nail at a time, sticking on the studs while the second coat was still tacky. I used Barry M Gold Foil on a striping brush to draw the cornery line things!

ReplyDeleteI love these posts! The studs are awesome! I might have to buy some ASAP! This design is so cool and tough, but still refined and glamorous. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo cool!!
ReplyDeleteI really love it!
These are my favorite so far! Definitely buying some studs this week x
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT. It's great, I wish I were so amazingly talented at nail art, but I guess I have to count myself happy for the days I don't mess my nails up before they dry!
ReplyDeleteI blinkin glove these Sammy, I know ful well I'd be the same about the picking so daren't try it, they'd be off within 2 seconds of finishing!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love these studs!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really great, I like the studs! Don't think I would try it myself though because I'm afraid my nails will get caught everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThese studs are really great, they give a lot of possibilities for nice desgins, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI think it looks fabulous! I'm really loving stud week, and I'm glad you mentioned the urge to pick. I'd had the same thought and concern about wearing these!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this look! So edgy! I also like the deep blue- it's a nice alternative to a basic black :)
ReplyDeleteGawd Sammy!!! No way there is too much going on!!! It's absolutely gorgeous!! It reminds me of an abstract GB flag a bit! This just keeps getting better and better every day :)
ReplyDeletethis is lovelyyyyy! Kind of like nails Lady Gaga would wear methinks :)
ReplyDeleteI have some studs too, but i never got them to stick to my nails...maybe i'll try your trick of waiting till the polish is tacky :)

ReplyDeleteLoving Stud Week.
xXx
Like it a lot. Maybe a TAD busy. That's what I thought at first. But it's actually just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome! Up close I could kind of see what you meant, a "maybe..." but when I saw it from farther away, the normal distance, I think it looks great! Also, the phrase "cornery line things" made me giggle. :D
ReplyDeletelove your nail designs!!!
ReplyDeleteI really do like this...it's kinda funky. Even if it didn't come out the way you envisioned, it's still pretty bad-azz'd
ReplyDeleteI think they look great! Perhaps for a night out or a concert or something like that :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these studs! You've got some great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'm like you-I'd so be picking these off! But this is so cool! Sammy you rock!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely stunning!
