Red Daisies

A friend, Emelda gave a few nail items as Christmas gift. One of them is a nail brush which I have been longing to have. The next day upon receiving the gift, I straight away wipe off my Blue Gradient Clouds to trade with these daisies! I just can't wait.

This daisies design is inspired from Simply Rins. Oh, did I ever told you she painted the most beautiful, almost-like-sticker, daisy flower nail art? Yes, she does.

My first time posting photo of both my hands. Had to drag the hubby to help me with this one.



The new brush helps very much in getting the petal shape I desired although there are still rooms for improvement on this.


Colors used:
OPI Play The Peonies (base), daisies are all painted with acrylic paint.

Blessed Sunday!

Blue Gradient Clouds

You know I am on holiday when I can change my nail color every two days. Ha!

It's raining season here in my place. The clouds look gloomy. While browsing my favourite nail art websites, I stumbled upon Nailside's Cloud series and I'm loving it.





Since I don't have many range of glossy blue nail polish, I've settled with two selection of metallic blue to compliment the only glossy blue color I have. I think the result is not as nice as having all shades in glossy type.

Happy Weekend!

Bleeding nails

Something I did to fill up my time during the holiday. Saw this needle drag technique from Chalkboard Nails and thought I give it a try.

Since Chinese New Year is still around, I thought it'd be best to paint something related with this festival. Saw some peonies decoration when visiting my Chinese friends on first day of CNY and gave this one a try. Didn't come out quite nice cos I am not really good at painting layers/shadows.



Colors I used:
Dior Apparat, OPI Pink Friday, Elianto Coral Light and Sally Hanse Xtreme Wear Black Out.

Later, I decided to ditch the peony and go for dots instead.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Hi everyone!

It's Lunar New Year eve today. I am 'a quarter' Chinese and I celebrate Chinese New Year every year. Since my hubby is also 'a quarter' Chinese, it's even more a festival not to be missed for us.

I was thinking to wear fake nails during the Chinese New Year since my nails are too short to be painted. But my nail glue sucks that my fake nails kept slipping away. So I decided to just paint my short nails and came up with something not too difficult to paint. I got my ideas from Simply Rins!

The fake nails I painted earlier; Cherry Blossoms and a (funny looking) dragon as my accent nail.


My Chinese New Year nails!

Ring finger/accent nail is painted with the Chinese character for dragon (base Elianto gold, chinese character using acrylic paint)

The rest of the nails are painted with swirls resembling round object as Chinese believe round object/shape is good. (base is OPI wocka wocka, swirls painted with acrylic paint)

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

When the nails are too short

This is what I did when my nails are too short to be painted. Fake nails the solution!

I re-created some designs from nail bloggers I frequented as well as design from pattern I saw around the house.

Tribal inspired.


Animal inspired


Flower inspired. The red one is inspired from NailNerd.


The Palm leaves is a design I saw on our kitchen apron. The pink black stripes is a re-creation from one of my fav nail blogger, Nailside.


The ballerina shoe lace is another design inspired from Nailside.


Bejeweled Half Moon is a re-creation from the one did by Polish Vixen on Youtube.


And finally, mt very first splatter nail art! I tried this several times and failed. I thought this was harder than doing marble. But searching through nail tutorials on this particular technique, I finally get to finish not one but two splatter nail art. I am so happy!
