Gold glitter tips

Hi ladies~ My baby step back into nail art after 2 weeks of nothingness involves something pretty simple - glitter tips! I applied two coats of OPI Honk if you love OPI which is a mini and I absolutely despise it cos I can't control the brush as well! :( Anyway. I wasn't all too fond of this darkened red-purple shade so I decided to add a little more to it, and glitter it was. Two coats of China...

Why so blue?

Hi everyone! After two weeks of naked nails, I'm back with a mani :) My applying skills have deteriorated, lol - application was a little messier than normal. I decided to go with a blue mani since I was in the mood for a navy blue. Of course, China Glaze First mate fits this criteria only too well. I love this one coater crème <3. I applied two coats of First mate (only out of...

Australis Mint Condition Lip Gloss

Hello gorgeous people :) Imagine my surprise when I received a lovely package a few weeks ago from Australis! Sitting in the box amidst a blanket of Minties (mmm, yummo!) were six of Australis' new Mint Condition Lip Gloss (Geddit? Minties for Mint Condition? :D). I have a small collection of various lip glosses in my room but I honestly haven't worn many for quite some time now. Since...

Spring flowers

Hi ladies~ Sorry for the brief absence, I'm still struggling through my pile of assignments! Why is it that they never end? :( I still haven't painted my nails - it's moving onto two weeks of naked nails now, woah! And so this post features a mani from the good old vault :) I started off with two coats of China Glaze Re-fresh mint. I then used my dotting tool for the white dots (Ulta3 lily white)...

My Alias

Hello lovelies~ Sorry for the lack of posting lately, I've been extremely swamped with uni assignments and what I'm blaming for my loss in motivation to paint my nails. I've been sporting naked nails for a week now, can you believe that? The horror! Not to worry though, I have a beauty which I didn't share earlier. Don't know why though! I recently combined with my friend and ordered some nail polishes...

Seeing red

Hi ladies~^^ For me, I find red too bright of a shade to wear on my nails and that it draws too much attention. I felt like being brave the other day though and decided to once again step outside my comfort zone.  For this manicure, I applied two coats of Orly Ruby to my nails. Ruby is an opaque creme polish and not too bright too ^^ On my accent nails I applied three coats of OPI The...

Spicing up the black

Hey lovelies :) I was in the mood for a dark mani a few days ago and so reached for my black nail polishes. Not wanting a pure black mani, I used some layering polishes to spice it up a bit and here is the result! I applied one coat of Ulta3 black satin onto my nails and then layered with China Glaze White cap and OPI Servin' up sparkle. Onto my accent nails,...

Choose meeee!

Hey~ :) Firstly, thanks to the awesome people who left me suggestions after my previous post. I've since contacted the Google team and they have removed all of my posts from the other blog, yay! And moving onto nail polish :P Ahh, I can't believe I've put off wearing Essence Choose me! for so long. Despite seeing so many glorious photos of it, it stayed in my untried box for over 3 months!...

Posts being stolen :(

Hey everyone~ I just found out from the lovely Em that my posts are being stolen by another person. It's shocking for me that anyone would do such a thing, especially when they're straight out copying and pasting my posts (including my name at the end of each post)! As I watermark my photos, I'm not too worried about that - actually, if this weren't so serious it'd be funny since the blog name is Cool Nail Art Designs (*ahem* not Polish Infatuated). Unfortunately what the person is doing is totally...

Australian Series: Sunshine and yellow

Hello~ Lame title, onto the pretty nails :P. I haven't ever worn yellow fully on my tips before so I thought it was time to try it out! I applied three coats of Ulta3 spring blossom onto my nails and two coats of Face of Australia Gold onto my accent nails. I then applied one thick coat of OPI Servin' up sparkle to bling up the mani :) Both mani photos were taken under direct sunlight. Gold leaned...
