759 Too Too Hot | Tempted To Love

ok.. i think i have not shown you my latest nail art that i tried doing.. this time its not any linear or polka dots.. its an insect. erm wait.. ladybug an insect rite?? *raise brow* its a simple nail art that doesnt need much skills in fact..

I know i know… u muz be thinking y is my ladybug shaking!!!?? LOL. this is the result of bad nail day! i had try many colors last weekend but nth turn out nice.. shaky hands.. spoiler accidents.. then i decided to gv up and just try doing something that i saw on youtube the other day.. which is this ladybug! you can watch the youtube tutorial HERE.

When i wanted to do this.. i realise… i do not have a black polish! so i pull out my thin brush art polish to TRY painting sth!

Index finger: i used my new Essie Too Too Hot as base color because i wanted a more vibrant looking bug.. then i used my thin brush polish to start drawing and dotting tools to start dotting.. and result is wat u see…

Middle finger: i don know wat am i thinking.. i tot dotting mite be easier to draw the lines, so i starting dotting throughout!! result!! jaggered bug!

i did some photo effect so what u see here mite not be true to color..

20 Mar 2012: adding a tutorial video by cutepolish here to share. This is whr im inspired, but i think she’ll wana cry if she get to see this! wat a shaky ladybug i have here!! LOL!!

Update on 26 Jan 2013: My sincere apologies! seems like i cant link actual video here anymore from cutepolish! i don’t know why.. but trust me, you can still click the video link to access her tutorial in youtube! 😀 They are all as great!

I have 4 similar colours…!!! Am I crazy for this tone or wat!?!! Hahahaha..! Coincidence purchase la!! It’s only when I brought home my CG high hopes thn I realize this amazing finding!

Well.. Since I have them, I decided to do a simple comparison! Not too complex as im not a professional nail blogger anyway.. Chey~~ hahaha! (pardon mi! I muz be slpy! Blogging at the hour is a struggle! *yawn*) I took photos of my nails aft applying the every coat..

Names of the polish had been indicated in the photo so I will not be introducing them again.. You can do a google search if you would like to have more details..

Well, applying all these first coat made mi falls in love with Essie almost immediately! It’s so solid ! I think 1 coat is more than enuff! The red looks young and cheery but not childish!! U wun look like one “ah lian” when wearing Too Too Hot! Hahahaha!! (Now I know y Essie is so hot!) Love this new babe!! 2nd in my favorite list is OPI’s latest Holland Collection, Red Lights Ahead… Where?!! Din expect to like this colour tho… I think the color is very very close to Too Too Hot!! Putting both together I would say TTH is a sweeter tone of red (probably not too obvious in my pic) while RLH is more to bright red? And both have a teeni weeni touch of deep orange.. That makes both.. Orangie red.. The common term ppl use to describe this kinda red I guess would be “coral red”…

~~(Gona turn in now… Shall cont tmr!!!!! Stay tune!! Lol!)~~

China Glaze High Hope is also another color that got mi so excited to the extend of walking back to the stall to grab one after I see my sis applying it!!!! The eye catching orangie hot pink is definitely a no-regret buy for mi!!! 1 coat is good as well!!!

As compared to these 3, I’m His Coral-Friend seems to hv lose out a bit here.. The lacquer is much ‘thinner’ than the others.. As u can see, juz one coat ain’t enuff; nail tip is still visible.. But it sure is a multipurpose color. LOL! Y I say that?? Cuz its color look so gentle yet so bright.. It seems to be able to bring out that lil naughtiness under your gentle character! Lolx!

What u see above is after applying the 2nd coat.. What do u think??? Not much a diff for Too Too Hot, High Hope & Red Lights Ahead… Where? .. But for Coral-Friend, I believe u now can see that it’s slight thicker and nail tip not that obvious now..

Think I’m gona do Essie Too Too Hot some day soooooon!!
