FF: Glitters

Yes, glitters is the theme for this week FF.
I know most you nail art/polish addict keep a bottle (or more) of glitter polish. I do too. But the ones that I currently have are mostly normal round shape glitters. I'm eager waiting for that day when I can finally own pretty glitters that come with different shapes i.e. hex shape, star shape.

I admit, I love looking at glitter polishes but dislike the mess that needed to be cleaned up post painting. Albeit having tips on how to clean up on glitters, I still find glitter nail polish is a tough one to deal with. How about you?

Here's my version of glittery nail art.
I did a gradient combo of two colors before I added some glitters on it.









I'm in love with this mani that I took lotsa of photos of them. I even thinking of letting them stay for a few days. Will think how am I going to hide my nails from my kids. :)

Giraffe on my nails!

I have never seen a giraffe in real life before. Not that I fancy giraffe much but I do find giraffe's skin pattern interesting. That coming from a person who loves any shades of brown :)

So yeah, I decided to do giraffe skin patten on me nails for this week FF.



I wanted to use the brown polish that I'm holding to draw the brown patches. But it dries very quick and so painting gets difficult. I don't have dark brown acrylic paint as well but much thanks to Art class, I was able to get dark brown color by mixing red, yellow and blue. But I did the mixing separately for each nail. Hence, the different shade of brown. Still, I feel satisfied about it.

Here's a photo of what I did earlier. It isn't my final animal print nail art cos I was actually trying first hand on giraffe print. I love how it turned out though. Might do the rest of the nails tomorrow.



By the way, I'd like to convey my sincere appreciation to Michelle for linking up for the FF: Ikat inspired theme...and also to Ngiau and Vera for posting their ikat inspired nail art on Instagram. Appreciate the support girls.

Let's rawk the animal in you!

Green Ikat inspired nail art

I made another Ikat inspired for my FF: Ikat Inspired theme. I wanted a darker background and also wanted to try the new shade of OPI green I bought recently.

I love this green shade Don't Mess with OPI. And it's creme finish and I just love creme finish polish.


Below are the ikat nail art in green I made. I think I went too much with black on the ring finger and it doesn't look so naturally ikat. In fact, my right nails are much better done than this. Ha!





I purposely left two nails unpainted cos I prefer to show off the beauty of this base color. ^_^

FF: Valentine's Day

My FF is 4 days late. But better late than never.

Since I was not able to paint my nails during the weekend and it's unlikely to have them painted during weekdays as well, I decided to do my FF on my toe nails instead. ^__^



Colors used: Base is Elianto Red, Heart shapes painted using acrylic (red and white mixture) paint.

FF: Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!!!

I know my FF this week is kinda late. But it's Christmas and there are lots to do during Christmas other than painting nails right? ^__^

Anyways, just to show my Christmas nail art. Pretty simple cos I didn't have much time to spare since the rest of the family members are here at home for the long holidays and it is so much fun when the house is filled up with noise and laughter from loved ones.





*nail hug*

FF: Tribal print

TGIF!
Not that I feel it so much since I AM on holiday till end of the year. ^_^

Anyways, here's my FF for this week.
Gotta say, this is the hardest FF so far. I just couldn't get the lines straight and balanced. Wanted to use tape but it will be very time consuming.

Initially, I wanted to incorporate the Aboriginal's art but I couldn't come up with a suitable design. I don't want to end up with having just round/circle design over and over. For now, this will do.

Pardon the not-so-straight lines.




Happy weekend ya'all!

FF Theme: Tribal Print

Happy Monday!

One more weekend before Christmas! Woohoo! Have you thought of any Christmas nail designs to be worn on during Christmas time? Well, if yes, that's good! After this week's FF, it's gonna be all about Christmas. So get your Christmas nail designs ready!

For this week's FF, it's gonna be.... TRIBAL Print!!!

This design is an 'acquired taste' I must say cos it usually involves loud colors and complicated lines and strokes that can make the design look messy or 'crowded'. But, if you are able to pick one with great color combo and lines/dots that are less crowded....this tribal print can look so great on your nails.

FF: Green Gold gradient

Hi!

I hope you guys had fun ogling at my Christmas nails as much as I do. And I have actually did four more Christmas designs but more on blue color theme. Anyways, that have to wait.

This week's Friday Fingers, I went for green and gold. I wanted to do blue again cos I'm just so in love with Revlon's Midnight Affair. But I have not been pulling out green in ages so I thought, why not?

I used Sally Hansen's Emerald City as base. Upon dry, I sponged on Faceshop GR502 followed by Faceshop GL111 . I topped them off with Faceshop 05 and a coat of Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat. On my ring finger, since I couldn't get rid of my pride on being able to create a Christmas design of my own... I have to show off this one again. ^__^


If you noticed, I did not paint plain green in one or two of my finger nails like I normally do. Having all nails painted with fancy nail art seem to attract attention so I usually paint one or two nails with plain base color to tone down the attention. However, for this nail art today...I think having plain green on one or two nails could draw more attention. And somehow, I feel the gold is able to tone down the attraction so that's why I did gradient on all nails. Besides, the snow man nail art is already the feature nail on my fingers. ^__^



I have to say that I really enjoy doing this week's FF and like how it turned out on my nails.

What do you think?

FF: Inspired by Design

This week's FF was supposed to be fun for me. But I got carried away with too many inspired designs in mind and ended up doing something common to my previous works. I even got pissed off during the progress because I was a bit rushing and ruined my first attempt. Even on my second attempt, I smudged a bit of the blue dots. *sigh*

Anyways, enjoy my FF this week.





The design on my blue polka dot dress that inspired this week's FF. Instead of using lighter blue, I opted for this Revlon Midnight Blue color. Some bad lighting here, couldn't see the beauty of this dark blue hue.

FF: Fusion French

Hey!

I am so happy that today is officially the start of my month-long school holiday. More time to plan for Christmas and definitely, time for nails. Ha!

Here's my Friday Fingers for this week. A simple French with some dots to add a little twist to the classic French. I opted for this dark red base and gold for the tips and dots.





How do you do your French?

FF Theme: Fusion French

Hi!
Apologies for the late post on the FF theme for this week. If it's not Lizee who reminded me about it, I would have kept delaying till it's already Friday.

Anyways, as suggested by her (Lizee), this week's FF theme will be French Manicure. But, let's ditch the conventional French OK? Let's go outside the box and do some twist on it. You know, like adding dots or lines or marble or more colors instead of the usual nude and white or ANYTHING to your French. More fun that way I think.

*Updated: Linky Tools is back.

1. Copy the badge above.

FF: Neon Colors

Friday Fingers time!

I didn't have much time to spend this week since it's the final week before holiday and usually is the most busiest and crucial week. I think nail marbling has become very handy to me since the Eureka moment and I've been doing it like a piece of cake. No kidding!

So for this week FF: Neon Colors, I picked orange and lime green colors and did nail marbling with a lil' bit of dots detailing on the marble design. Why orange? Simply because our school's annual dinner picked Orange (and black) as the theme color. So Orange/Lime Green wet marble nail art is just fit for the theme. :)



Although, I have to admit I am not really impressed of how this nail result turned out. I just didn't have time to 're-produce' a new design, in time for FF. But anyways, hope you enjoy looking at my FF not-so Neon Colors design.

Check out those participating bloggers' Friday Fingers below!

FF Theme: Neon Colors

Hi!

In previous FF, Edith said something about using too much of pink for her nail art creation and wanted to try other colors such as blue. Well, that sparks an idea.

I have to admit that I, too, don't usually use bright and attention seeker colors. The only attention seeker color that I am fond of is bright red. Other than that are just pink and purple shades. The recent dark blue nail art that i wore for my cousin wedding shows that I am able to pull such colors. So yeah, why not try out to be more adventurous with bright and fancy colors. Go bold. Go NEON COLORS!

You can paint all shades of neon colors.
Or, you can pick just one.
Say yellow.

1. Copy the badge above.
2. Paste the badge on your FF: Neon Colors post and insert the URL link of this page (FF theme: Neon Colors) on the badge.

Friday Fingers: Flower Power

Hello!

Back for Friday Fingers although at the time I'm posting this, it's already 20 minutes past Friday. Things have been quite tight this week but gladly to say that I can pretty breathe properly now.

I wanted to do Cherry Blossom but reckon it'd be boring to see same thing from me. Daisy's the choice and just love how Simply Rins did her daisies nail art. Determine to paint my nails like hers, I tried painting on fake nail. I thought I did get it pretty close to hers. It's a different case when I tried it on my nails though.





They look more like a hybrid of daisy and chrysanthemum. Ha!

I chose dark red as base cos I'm gonna attend a Hen Party tomorrow and it's a themed party; Pirates theme to be exact. Bright fancy colors don't really go well with Pirates. I think.

But I must say, these daisies are pretty easy to do except when doing on my right finger nails. Well, what's new about that?

Enjoy weekend!
