KKCenterhk Nail Foil Stickers – (swatches & review)
Hey Guys!
I was contacted once upon a time by KKCenterhk asking if I wanted to review one of their products. I ended up choosing one of their nail patch designs, No. W033 – a swirling rainbowish metallic pattern. ^_^
KKCenterhk Nail Patches – No. W033
They took a little while to arrive, which I expected since they came from overseas. The packaging is great! They come in this really cool looking flat packing envelope with holographic lettering. 
The instructions on the back are very straight forward. If you click the first picture in this sequence you’ll see the full instructions enlarged. This was my first attempt at applying stick-on nail decals so I was excited to see how they turned out!
That was also the day that I learned I am not at ALL good with applying nail decals. 
They looked FANTASTIC on the sheet but man… Applying these things is harder than it looks, at least for me it was. My application turned into a rippled, rough edged mess. 
The sheets themselves were way too big for my bitty fingers so I had to cut them down to size quite a bit. I think this product would be better suited for someone with wider nails.
This is honestly the only picture I took of the manicure that make it look even somewhat decent. I see other people using stick-on decals like this all the time and their manis look fabulous! It must just take practice and patience that I lacked today, lol! My ring finger turned out the best, but the other nails (especially my pinky) were so rippled around the sides. I’m thinking that I didn’t trim off the sides enough to prevent the rippled effect.

Final Thoughts:
I really wanted this product to work for me because KKCenterhk has some really great designs for their nail patches! I don’t want to give up just yet because again this was my first attempt, I’m hoping that if I purchase nail patches in the future I’ll get better results.
I can say that removal was fairly easy. I just used soap and water and a little elbow grease and they came off pretty easily. There was a little sticky residue left after removal from the adhesive but it came off quickly with a cuticle stick.
If you want to see an example of how these look when they’re applied like a boss, check out Bregje’s post [HERE] at Oooh, Shinies!

oh you also have these stickers! they look super pretty but yeah, it’s not that easy to apply if you have to cut them because they are too wide. If they are the perfect size, it’s much easier…
I had some water decals and applied them quite easily except for the nail I had to cut the pattern…however, I’m not sure about their lasting power…so I’m a bit afraid to wear water decals or stickers to go out for work for example…
but I think it could look great as an accent nail or sth like that… -

Man… these look so pretty from afar but the close-up view looks like a) they’re super hard to apply perfectly and b) to me, it looks just like you stuck a sticker on your nails. I know that’s sorta (exactly) what these are, but I just don’t think they should look like it, ya know what I mean? Too bad. :/

Super cute pattern. Claire’s also has nail stickers and they come 20 in a pack. I also have tiny hands and nails and they worked perfectly for me! And what’s even better is that they cost from 5 – 10 bucks (depending on designs with or without bling) and are usually BOGO 50% off!!! I’m wearing a matte black amd gold glitter animal print as I type!!! Sorry for the long post lol. Love your blog

Hey there,
I’m a new follower–I started when you were doing the 31 day challenge with LTHP. Anyway, I was going to comment that these decals (no matter which brand) do not work for me either. They work great for people who have flat nail beds but if you have any significant curve (either along the length of the nail or across from side to side, which my nails do both), they will never lay very well (plus I have a lot of surface area to cover and they are never wide enough for me). It’s because you’re taking something flat and trying to smooth it out over a curve. You know if you take a table cloth and drape it over a round table, it has all those curves and waves in the fabric that’s hanging down? Same kind of principle. The only way they might fit on the nail is if you made tiny slits (or cut out super skinny wedges) in the decal where it wants to ripple. But that’s really a lot of work for such a small reward. I wish they worked better.

OMG the designs on these are SO COOL! It was tricky the first time I applied nail decals. I found that stretching the design gently while applying it over my nail helped, smoothing as I applied. Something else I learned after my second try was to really try my best to wrap the tips of my nails by using the included file in a kinda downward motion after really pressing the design against the tips of my nails. I am still not getting the 100% perfect results I want but I did such a better job the second and third time around.
I don’t think these would work for me because I have very rectangular nails. I think these would be too wide for me. OMG I love the design on these though! It’s so awesome!
