Flower Water Marble

It's been awhile since I last did water marbling. The process is kind of tedious and as I mentioned in previous post, time is too precious to spent on nails for hours. Ha!

Turned out, I rather spent time on nails for hours. By doing two designs back to back. Ha!

Colors used:

Essie Wicked
NYX Girls Algae

Colors used:
China Glaze Heart of the Matter

Whimsical peacock feather

I wanted something easy to do yet beautiful enough to look at before I go for my short trip to the big city. Time was pretty tight for me even though it was the holiday. So, all I think of was to have a manicure that doesn't require much time to do.

So I had some glitters over plain base and then had my accent nail painted with peacock feather. I learned the design via Instagram. Gotta get back with you on the Instagrammer who inspired me.

 

Colors used:
OPI Samoan Sand (base)
Essie A Cut Above glitter
Black acrylic paint

Fan brush nail art

My first attempt on fan brush nail art. I bought this fan brush unknowing what its purpose is until I saw a pretty nail art by SimpleNailArtDesigns using fan brush.







The only difficulty I found here was that my fan brush tend to clump on its end making the lines look horribly fat instead of perfect thin lines. Will try again with different type of fan brush.

Half moon gradient

It has been a month since my last entry. Well, there were few things happened recently which includes an unfortunate event. But hey, I'm trying to catch up here. ^__^

So to kick off with my nail painting again, I was inspired to do this half moon nail design. I have seen it a few times before by several nail bloggers including those in my Instagram. But when I found thenailsaurus on Insta (how could I missed it on her blog?) and saw her half moon gradient nails, I could resist no more.







Still long way to perfect half moon but for now, I am happy I finally did it.

Colors/Materials used:
Essie All Tied Up (base)
Essie Wicked
Make up sponge
Reinforcement rings

Malaysia flag

Oh dear, I'm so lagging behind in this blog. Haven't been put up anything for ONE month? Yikes.

Anyways, my nail art activity isn't as sluggish as my post in here. In fact, I've been doing almost every two days just because I have joined the 31 Days nail challenge. But funny how, that (the challenge) too is lagging behind. I'm still on Day 10 whilst it's already the 24th of this month. Double yikes.

Here's my Malaysia flag in conjunction with the National Day (31st Aug) and Malaysia Day (16th Sept). If one really have to scrutinize the flag, it isn't drawn accurately i.e. the red and white stripes aren't same size. But, that's the best I could come up with (so far). I even drew hibiscus flower which is the national flower for Malaysia. Hee.










Next up will be my 31 Days nail challenge...well, 10 nail arts so far.
