Purple & pink gradient stamped

Hello everyone. Today's post is inspired by the amazingly talented Cathy over at More Nail Polish. When I saw her gradient with stamping manicure, I knew I would have to give it a shot myself. I decided to use OPI A grape fit and Australis K-pop for the gradient, before layering with Alanna Renee Milky way. For my ring and middle fingers, I painted A grape fit and K-pop randomly over the nail before stamping with BM-410 and Ulta3 Black satin.

I'm really in love with the gradient look right now, so expect to see some more nail looks featuring this technique ;)

Thanks for reading.

Shopping the Stash: P for Picture Polish

Hey ladies! I have been finding that whenever I reach for a Picture Polish to wear, I am always taken in by the beauty of Kryptonite. I can say I'm not the only one taken in by the beauty of this green polish because there are always plenty of compliments to follow ;) What can I say, Cathy and The Girls behind Picture Polish have definitely created a stunner!

Are you as taken in by Kryptonite as I am? :)

Thanks for dropping by.

A blue and white nail request

Hi ladies. One of my colleagues at work requested for some blue and white nails so I went along with it and came up with this skittle :)

On my pinky & index, I have two coats of OPI Can't find my Czechbook. I layered OPI Pirouette my whistle onto my index finger and took a dotting tool for the dots on my pinky. My middle finger and thumb have two coats of China Glaze Caribbean blue. On my ring finger, I applied two coats of Ulta3 Lily white and then layered two coats of Picture Polish Splash over it.

Simple, but effective - that's what I love so much about the skittle nail look :)

Thanks for reading.

Shopping the stash: O for Ozotic

Hi everyone :) Here is a quick post featuring the gorgeous Ozotic 914. The duochrome effect isn't the strongest, but I still love the subtle shift from blue to purple.

Do you own any of the Ozotic Scatter Chromes? :)

Chinese New Year 2014

Hey everyone! This is a belated Chinese New Year post to show you the simple nails I had welcoming in the year of the Horse :) This manicure is inspired by the talented @nailsbywenz over on Instagram. I didn't have any flower nail stickers so I decided to freehand them instead and added a gold rhinestone from Born Pretty Store as an accent.

I applied OPI The thrill of Brazil at the tips on all of my nails except for my ring and thumb. As the accent nails, I have two coats of OPI Love.Angel.Baby.Music and finished the look off with top coat.

I love how rhinestones can be used to add a little more interest to nail art like flowers :) You can find a pack of three different rhinestone shape wheels on Born Pretty Store for $8.58. I also have a discount coupon PIJ61 for an extra 10% off , on top of the free shipping BPS offers worldwide.

Thank you for reading.

Ulta3 Triple Threat

Hey there! There's just something so satisfying with wearing a simple manicure after a series of nail art looks - or in my case, when still in a nail art slump haha. It really helps with rediscovering some forgotten gems in the stash ;) This was two coats of Ulta3 Triple threat.

What do you do when you're lacking inspiration?

Thanks for reading!

Shopping the Stash: N for Nfu Oh

Hello everyone! I do believe I'm starting to get my blogging mojo back, as well as some sort of inspiration, so I'm hoping I'll be back soon :) In the meantime, here is another shopping the stash post for when I had absolutely no idea what to paint on my nails :P I applied two coats of OPI Keeping Suzi at bay and then layered a coat of Nfu Oh #52 over it.

Ahhh, I will never get sick of flakies ♥

Thanks for reading!
