Hi~ :) This matte & rhinestone mani is inspired by Katrina's nail art mani here, I love the combination so I decided to try it out myself. I used one coat of Ulta3 black satin on my fourth finger before layering on two coats of Color Club Magic attraction. The rest of my nails were painted with two coats of Orly Matte Vinyl.
The rhinestones were stuck on with a top coat...

Fruit fimo nail art~
Hello~^^ Today I have a nail art using fruit fimo. This was my first time using them and I think there's definitely room for improvement! I applied two coats of Ulta3 watermelon for the base colour then a coat of top coat to stick the fruit fimo and rhinestones with. Application looks sooo messy here in the photo but it actually doesn't look that bad in real life. I still need lots of practice...

Another patchwork mani
Hey~ :) I was out of creative juices the other night but was in a mood for nail art so I based my mani on the patchwork idea by the awesome Erika over at Chloe's Nails.
I applied two coats of Zoya Gloria then taped off my nails before applying one thicker coat of Spotsgirl Galaxy. The polishes were reversed on my fourth nail. I'm sitting on the fence with this mani, I don't love...

JITNB meets glitter gradient tips
Hi~ :) I've returned to Uni for the semester now so boo, I probably won't have as much time as I want on nails any more. It's going to be a busy year ahead with lots of pracs in school settings (omg, how scary T__T) so nail polish choices may be more neutral and boring during that period. I'm going to go all out before that starts though :D.
In all honesty, I wasn't too happy with this mani at first,...

A random nail art design
Hello~ Wow, the weekend has just flown by! I was super busy and didn't have much time for my nails but things have finally calmed down again.
I quite liked how the nail art turned out this time, but I'm sad that the polish wrinkled :(. I guess I didn't leave enough time for it to dry before going to shower.
And the polishes I used:
Essie Turquoise & Caicos
Glossyblossom Nail art two way...

Blue steeeeeel!
Hello~^^ Today I have a polish which looked absolutely spectacular in the bottle but was so disappointing on the nail :(.
This is my first Mode Cosmetics polish and I had such high expectations of it colour-wise since it looked so stunning in the bottle. Sadly, the pretty blue shimmer just didn't transfer on to the nail. Shown are two coats of Blue Steel and sealed with a top coat.
See...

Rainbow nails~
Hello~:D I'm seriously really in love with my current nails, THEY'RE SO COOL!♥ I recently stumbled across some Korean nail/beauty blogs and am totally blown away by some of the bloggers' nail art. The mani I'm showing you today is based on this one, isn't it pretty? *___* While it's written in Korean, the photos are definitely more than enough to understand the tutorial :).
Obviously my nails and...

Review: Lincoln park after dark suede
Hi~^^ One thing I love about suede polishes is that they dry extremely fast! I didn't have much time for nails last night but I didn't want to have naked nails so I pulled out OPI Lincoln park after dark suede. Too bad the wear isn't so good - all I did was type a little bit (for my assignment due tomorrow~eek!) and go to bed. I woke up this morning and there was already minor tip wear on my nails...

Tag~a little bit about me :)
I was tagged by Freshie from Polish Freshie awhile ago and have finally gotten around to posting this, haha. I'm bad with my tags, I know :(.
Questions:
1. When and how did you start your love for polish?
My nail polish obsession started around the beginning of last year while I was on a quest to find a black polish! I was really into black polish back then because I thought it was so chic and really wanted to be an owner of one :P. Well, I found it in SaSa while I was on my holiday in Hong Kong!...

Spacey nails~!
Hello~ :) I was feeling quite space inspired today and thought I'd try my hand at a spacey manicure. I've actually attempted this once before but it turned out terrible so I never posted it on my blog :P. I quite like the outcome this time though!
First two photos are taken indoors under natural light, the following two taken under the sun. (Please ignore my horrible clean up, I was getting lazy...

Mummy may I funky french
Hello :)~ My nails are finally growing out of their broken state, yay! Unfortunately my left index finger suffered the worst breakage and still hasn't fully recovered yet so no photos with it included for now :P. Below is two coats of China Glaze Mummy may I?. I then applied Orly Matte Vinyl for the tips.
I realise many people don't bother clicking on photos for larger resolutions (myself...

Chi Chi Hung Up
Hi~This is another notd from the vault; my nails have been breaking a lot recently and while I'm itching to polish them, they're in terrible, terrible shape :(.
Below is two coats of Chi Chi Hung up. I bought this polish on a whim, mostly because it was on sale (Chi Chi polishes are normally around $12 and this was on sale for $5, I think) and I just can't pass by a bargain :P. Plus it's a purple...

My first Golden Rose
Awhile ago, my mum went back to Hong Kong and came back with a few polishes for me :). One of the polishes she bought was Gold Rose #39. As soon as I applied it, I thought the shade was really similar to Zoya Crystal's base colour. I love it all the same though, I really do think blue is beginning to grow on me too :). First photo is taken indoors with natural light and the following...

Chinese New Year mani
Hello~Happy Chinese New Year! :D February 3rd this year marks the new year of the lunar calendar and in celebration of CNY, I did a mani for it. It's really simple and I'm sad that I didn't have enough time for it but I love it all the same :).
I applied two coats of Maybelline NY's Candy Apple to incorporate the theme colour of CNY~red! Then to jazz things up Nubar 2010 was applied....

Review: Zoya Valerie
Hey all~ I have received a few requests in my giveaway form to post more review-like posts, so here's my first attempt. Let me know what you think of it, anything to add/take away?
Today I have for you another polish from Zoya's Flame collection. Valerie is an extremely pretty purple with copper- gold flecks suspended in it which unfortunately does not show up on the nail. While I am an...
