Lacquered nails

Finally, i made my mind to start a page just for my nails and also a blog solely on my nail art passion.
From now on, ALL my nail blogs will be at a new blog. Click here.

Thanks for reading!

Nail art : Cherry

This nail art was pretty simple and fun looking. I did this Cherry nail art on my house-mate's toes. She's the

kinda person who like floral motives and something simple or elegant. As we were glancing through some

pictures of nail art I saved, we found this ....

 

And here's my outcome on my friend's nails....

My friend loved this nail art on her.

What about you ? Do you like this?

Nail Art : Strip Tape Nail Art

I saw a similar nail art in my collections of like/to-do nail art album.

I chose this nail art that i saw in some nail blog...

And this was my outcome....

I chose a totally different color from the picture sample. I wanted something different.

Leave a comment and tell me what you think.. =D

Nail Art : Peach with Elianto's Black Shatter

Elianto now have their own Shatter edition, I bought the Black Shatter and I tried on.

After applying the peach color I chose, I did some white sponging and the tip of the nail. Lastly I applied the black shatter polish and the effect was really nice.

Then, I sealed everything with top coat polish. 

Nail Art : Mommy's Flower Designs

Every week since I got back home, I have been pimping mum's toe nails. The best person to do my nail arts on and also practice and try out new designs I have on my mind. So the above two pictures are the designs I have tried on my mum's toe nails.

It was pretty much simple and turned out super beautiful!

Nail Art : Sponging & Sugar Spun/String

Exam's was over & I wanted to do nail art before I go back home. I wanted to something different and as I was reading some nail blogs, , I came by this fun nail art, sugar spun or string nail art.

Steps to do this nail art :

1. For the base color I used Elianto's dark blue fine glitter nail polish. You can use and dark or bright base color.

2. I chose two colors to do sponging at the opposite end corners of the nail. Face shop's Baby blue and Skin food's turquoise. Once I have done the sponging on the nail, both colors turned out darker than the original color because of the dark base color I chose.

3. Then I chose a bright pink from Face Shop. I first dropped a few drops on my palette then waited for few minutes to let the polish to become bit tacky and once stretch using the dotting tool, it will have like string like or cheesy like strings.  Once you get the strings you start placing on the nail where you like it best. 

4. And I sealed the whole nail art with top coat to give a glossy look. But when i applied the top coat the strings on my nails turned out like it has ben pressed or become a bit flattened out.

You can also try without top coat, it will give you a better 3D effect of the strings and a matte finish from the sponging.

Try this nail art, results was pretty satisfying for me!

Nail Art : Multicolored Nail Art

My friend posted this picture on my facebook and asked if I could do this for her. So I made my attempt on this nail art which is simple sponging technique.

 

Here is my outcome for the attempt :

I painted the base color with the color like in the picture and did sponging at the tip above halfway up the nail. I'm not so sure on how t turned out. Do let me know what you think of the nail art.

Nail Art : Dots Blast!

I love dots, and moreover with different colors, I love 'em! I saw something like this nail art somewhere in a blog and I was intending to try them for sometime now. So, I tried these nail art on my nails 1st then this was my 2nd one  as my friend requested to do it for her.

I used creamy purple color from Elianto. For ring finger and thumb I used white nail polish and I topped it with a pearl nail polish. I painted the white nail polish below to give the pearl color more opaque.

Then, i chose a range of colors I want to use on. I then made small and bigger dots on the nails with different color. and I was much satisfied with the second attempt than the first.

Nail Art : Purple Glam Gold French Manicure

This is a simple one. My friend has short nails but too afraid to try anything as she thinks nail art only can be done who has long nails. Well, perhaps that was just wrong! With this nail art, her short nails looks absolutely gorgeous and cute. Don't you just love how her nails look, I do!

I used Purple nail polish from Face Shop for RM 4.90 and the gold color I used at the tip from Elianto for RM5.50.

Nail Art : Blue Marbling Taped Tip

Blue is indeed a beautiful color. The color of sky. A bright cheerful color. I tried a dry Marbling tip on my friend's toes. And turned out pretty nice.

For this nail art, I used the tape technique. For the small toes I taped to make a french manicure marbling tip art. But for the big toe, I made a crown like cut out on the tape and stick on the toe nail. For this, I used a 1st aid tape but it was rather too sticky.

After sticking the tape on the position I preferred, i then painted royal blur nail polish and added white dots to it. I then used a tip of a pin to make the swirls(picture above).

I then topped it off with a top coat to seal the art and also gives a glossy shiny look to it.

Nail Art : Polka Dot Flower

Vila's choice of nail art is mostly flowery or something simple and catchy. And, I had the right idea of nail art in my mind when I painted royal blue nail polish on her toe nails.

I then made dots and the corners of the toe (picture above) and drag to the center and makes a flower. And this was just the start of the design I had on my mind.

And then, I added some flower dots on the rest of the toes and the main big toe I covered the spaces with colored dots. I then stick on stones to the center of the flower.

I finished the nail art with a top coat to seal the design and give it a glossy shiny look.

Pretty simple!

Nail Art : Purple Pink Pearly Dry Marbling

Dry marbling is really fun. I like how the colors take effect after making the freehand swirls and pattern. I made another design on my friends toe nails, and I love the effect very much. Not a big fan of pink but I pretty much would have this design on my feet, for sure.

Exactly the same steps as Ocenia dry marbling nail art. Instead of using white nail polish for the swirls, here I used a light pearl nail polish with is not that opaque.

Here are the steps :

Step 1 : Paint your nails with base coat.
Step 2 : Paint 1st half of your nail with color A
Step 3 : Paint 2nd half of your nail with color B

Both nail polish should not be too much or too little. Paint you nails like you would with one color.

Step 4 : Use color C which will give a obvious/ beautiful swirls and effects on the nails. Slowly drop really small tiny dots on random area, again not too much.

For this nail art I used a pearl color instead.

Step 5 : Use a sharp pointed object, safety pin or thumbtack, I used a safety pin, the sharp end. Then I quickly made swirls or you can do any type of  effects/patterns you like on your nails.

Do it before your nail polishes get dried one. If it does, the you wont be able to get the maximum swirl effects.

Once done, let them to dry just a little bit and then finish it off with top coat to seal the nail art and also a glossy shiny look.

Here is the outcome !

 Like it ? I pretty much loved it.

Thanks for reading! =)

Ocenia Nail Art

Yesterday I made this new nail art as I was kin of bored and I was in the mood of doing some nail art on my nails. While I was watching Housefull ( Hindi movie), I took out my nail polishes and my tools out. I already had this dry marbling nail art idea in my mind and I first tried it out on my forefinger. I was really happy with the color combo and the swirly effect.

Step 1 : Paint your nails with base coat.
Step 2 : Paint 1st half of your nail with color A
Step 3 : Paint 2nd half of your nail with color B

Both nail polish should not be too much or too little. Paint you nails like you would with one color.

Step 4 : Use color C which will give a obvious/ beautiful swirls and effects on the nails. Slowly drop really small tiny dots on random area, again not too much.
Step 5 : Use a sharp pointed object, safety pin or thumbtack, I used a safety pin, the sharp end. Then I quickly made swirls or you can do any type of  effects/patterns you like on your nails.

Do it before your nail polishes get dried. If it does, the you wont be able to get the maximum swirl effects.

Once done, let them to dry just a little bit and then finish it off with top coat to seal the nail art and also a glossy shiny look.

My outcome was superb, check 'em out !

DIY Nail Art

Recently, I found a new hobby/talent in me which is doing nail art. It all started few months back when i was painting my nails for an event in my university. I 1st painted my nails in Royal Blue Nail Polish I bought from Elianto. I mostly buy my nail polishes from there as its easy to use, dries fast and long lasting too, not to forget its just RM5.50. Once I have applied the color, I was thinking of why not try nail art on this when I have ample of time today. And taadaaa! my 1st nail art was made. Picture is as below. 

I have also posted up the pictures on nail art I have done so far. enjoy viewing them =)

7th Month and still counting!!!

It's been such a great 7 months to be with man that I truly in love with. I wonder, i mean looking back on those years, from the time i was 18 till now i'm 22. I feel so much better which the reason to it is being with a better man that not only never fails to make me laugh and angry and even smile when i say his name but a man that loves me for who i am. It's so joyous thing for me to still be with a man that i truly love till now and still counting for 7 months. i normally never lasted more than 3 months but this is just great. Numbers may be not a big issue for some but for me the months is the duration that not only telling me how long i have been but it actually proves to me that how much i love him and he loves me too. So. like i have always done. I sent him a card. Reached a lil' late but it reached. Love you hun!

+ Mum's Birthday +

I have sent this card to mum on her  46th Birthday. She loved the card as yellow was her favourite colour.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM !

LOVE YOU !
