Drag marbling

Hello~ :) Awhile ago, I tried out drag marbling and it looks so pretty when done correctly, haha! As usual, Colette over at My Simple Little Pleasures was a great inspiration for this mani. I started off with two thick coats of OPI You don't know Jacques over my base coat and then used my dotting tool to place three random dots of Ulta3 spring shower onto the wet...

Matte leopard print

Hi everyone~ Firstly, thank you so much for the positive response regarding a future giveaway :). I'm really happy to know that a majority of you all don't mind polishes which have been used lightly. Hopefully I'll be able to get around to getting the rest of the polishes soon and posting about the giveaway - I'm undecided at the moment whether it should be a thank you giveaway for reaching 300+ followers...

Put on the crack!

Hello~! I've had a super crappy day (yay) but I'm feeling better now so I thought I'd get this post up ^^ Before removing Not like the movies I swatched one coat of OPI Black shatter over it just to see what it'd look like. I'm not sure I like how it's covering up the glorious duochrome, but I'm pleasantly surprised by Black shatter! My initial reaction to the crackle polishes was...lets just...

Duochromeeeeeeee!

Hey everyone~ :) I have my first polish from Anita's awesome package and it's none other than a duochrome! I seriously cannot get enough of them, and this one is exceptionally pretty <3. Shown is thin three coats of OPI Not like the movies. I'm normally not a fan of polishes which require 3 or more coats (I'm spoilt like that) but I forgive this one totally. It even has slight VNL at three...

Some more layering with White Cap :D

Hello~ :) I know I said life is getting hectic in my previous post but I'm so proud of how productive I was today that I'm allowing myself to blog. Honestly, you have no idea how much I usually procrastinate. Weirdly enough, I got a lot of work done at Uni so here I am! :D Below is two thick coats of Color Club Coastal creme, taken under artificial light with flash. I would have probably done better...

More randomness

Hey~ :) This was another easy nail art design I decided to do to jazz up my otherwise plain mani. I applied two coats of Sportsgirl Supernatural on my nails. For my accent nail I applied two coats of Ulta3 black satin and used Glossyblossom nail art striper in violet to do the stripes. Simple mani, but I like it :) My life is becoming a lot more hectic now with assignments due in...

Green layering success! ♥

Hello~ :D I am so happy with this mani I can probably wear it forever! It's nothing fancy, but it is soooooo beautiful I just keep staring at my nails. Like 3-4 times every two minutes, no joke. I love it that much ♥♥♥ I applied two coats of Essie Sew Psyched then layered on a coat of China Glaze White cap and voilà~! Look at this pretty! The photo definitely does not show the mani...

Water marbling

Hello~^^  This is part 2 of the water marbling post. As you can see from my previous post, I had pretty high expectations of my nails turning out beautifully. Unfortunately, I forgot to take into account that my nails are in no way as long and well...my white polish decided to play up and do weird things :S. I thought I'd share this water marble since I would have totally loved the outcome anyway...

Water marbling when done correctly

Hey everyone~! This will be a quick post since I need to run soon - just some water marbling which came out really well when I was trialling on a fake nail. Too bad it didn't turn out so well on my actual nails :(. Anyway, here it is. Colette over at My Simple Little Pleasures is such a great inspiration! Please ignore the dings on the nail, I'm obviously quite clumsy when it comes to...

Ahoy!

Hello~ :) I was really excited with the recent Anchors Away collection by China Glaze and one of the polishes I most looked forward to getting was Ahoy! This polish is a dark raspberry shade with a gorgeous glass flecked shimmer. Unfortunately, my camera totally spazzed with this shade and no matter how many times I tried to photograph my nails, the polish just didn't turn out colour...

Golden Cinnabar

Hi~ I'm supposed to be working on an assignment instead of blogging but I'm sick of it so here I am :P. Just a quick post to show you an old duochrome polish. This is two coats of Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Golden Cinnabar. I'm not so sure I like this polish on me, it looks a bit meh on my skin tone :S. It reminds me so much of autumn though, which is kind of fitting down here in Australia now. I...

Wedding nails

Hey all~ :D No, it wasn't me getting married, I was just attending a friend's wedding :P The mani was inspired by Jasmine's over at Preposterously's Nail Blog. I had previously attempted this mani and failed miserably but I was adamant for it to work this time. I love how it's sparkly and blingy with the glitter but also not too eye catching and suitable for a wedding ^^ The following polishes...

Tutorial: Rainbow nails

Hello :) Awhile back, I posted about my rainbow nails. The mani was inspired by a Korean blog but I did my nails a bit differently to what the photo tutorial shows (I can't read Korean :P) and since Freshie requested for a tutorial, I thought I'd give it a go :) This is my first tutorial so please let me know what you think! Here are the polishes I used: Ulta3 lily white, spring blossom,...
