Nail art #4 - Mutated hearts

I thought I'd try my hand at some more nail art, this time making use of my newly bought dotting tools. To my dismay, I was not very coordinated and so ended up with many mutated looking hearts on my nails. Polishes used: Ulta3 - Spring Blossom Maybelline - Dark chocolate The heart on my fourth finger is from a polish I picked up from SaSa back in Hong Kong earlier this year. It's black with yellow...

Gradation nails

This design was a failed attempt at gradation nails :(. I started off with Sally Hansen's HD Pixel Pretty, then began to layer the TBN polish on top of it. TBN's Purple Rain is a sheer purple, but a very, very pretty shade ♥. I'm definitely going to wear it as a full mani in the future! The gradation didn't turn out the way I expected; Purple Rain's layers were really apparent even after...

Ulta3 - Wildberry

Phew, it's finally Friday! I've been rushing to finish an essay this past week, hence the lack of posts, but it's finally  the weekend and I can slow down now :). Despite not posting, I did manage to find some time to do my nails! Ladies, behold Ulta3's Wildberry. I don't think my camera was able to capture this beauty clearly, the polish is in fact is a very dark shade of purple. So dark...

Nail art #3 - Plaid nails

My attempt at plaid nails was semi successful :). Polishes used: Base - CG's Light as air Green - CG's Re-Freshmint White stripes - Glossyblossom's White I'm quite pleased with the result in that the colours came out really well. I was doubtful at first with using Re-Freshmint over Light as air, but after I applied the white stripes, the colours came together really well. This was a rather...

Nail art #2 - Space inspired nails

Initially, I had intended to do a space-y sort of nail art. Except it kind of didn't work out the way I had wanted and so this is just simply 'space inspired gone wrong'. Polishes used: Black - Maybelline Dark Chocolate Silver - Eclipse no.527 Glitter - mwah Magnetic Hearts - Jordana Lilac Hearts The glitter seemed a bit lonely on the black, so I decided to add some...

China Glaze 2NITE

I am in lurveeeee *____*. I've read so many amazing reviews of CG's OMG collection, but I never expected to be so blown away by it. It's such a nice and sunny day today that I decided to pull out CG's 2NITE to see how it looked. Absolutely gobsmacked. My jaw dropped. Because how fantastic is this holo polish?! Under the sun: This was two coats of 2NITE, no topcoat. I love this shade...

Sportsgirl - Galaxy

OMGOMGOMG. This polish is so much love. Despite the fact that I was wrong about it being a purply-vampy colour, I was blown away still. I mean, how can anyone resist red glitter (and smooth too!!!) in black jelly?! I sure can't anyway. Photo blurred to show the awesome red glitter! For some reason, most of the photos I took showed the black to be purple o__o. And the red glitter showed up as...

Natural spring

Yay, I've finally done my nails again :D. It's been a disappointing week though. A couple of weeks ago, I discovered that my right thumb had a tear on the left side; and to make matters worse, it was towards the middle of my nail :(. After a week of carefully wrapping it in bandaides to avoid it being caught on anything, I finally gave up on waiting for it to grow out and filed my thumbnail down....

A mini haul

I had initially promised myself to go on a polish ban, but that obviously failed. I just couldn't resist the sales :P. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to go out for a movie today...nahh XD. With flash: Without flash: Top row: Sportsgirl's Galaxy Bottom row: mwah's Mood, Devilish, Magnetic, Thrillseeker. All Australian brands :). I'm most excited about Galaxy actually, because looking...

Nail art #1 - Skittling with a twist

Initially, I had thought to simply go with a skittle manicure this time, but after surfing the net for some inspiration, I changed my design to this. From pinky to thumb: Ulta3 Spring Blossom, Ulta3 Spring Fling, China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, Ulta3 Spring Shower, China Glaze Light as Air. The white dots are Ulta3 Lily White and the glittery silver stripe is Eclipse no.527. Ulta3 is an Australian...
