It looks kinda uneven here & i know my stem is a little too thick! accident do happens.. haha!… but a top coat will do the trick to make it all even and smooth!

Have some ice cream?

Heeelloooo! Today, I’m so excited to share with you a cute polish that was inspired by Cutepolish!

Do you prefer to view the video first!!? i think the video is very clear and she made steps so simple to achieve!!

So after watching her video, i started to dig out all my tools and colours! This time round, i used only 1 nail polish colour and the rest are nail paint (is this the term used??)! I nearly forgot i’d bought this nail paint quite some time back in 2012! So, now we can start!!

20130506-230800.jpg

Like what was advised, a based coat is a must to protect your nails! after base coat, i applied OPI’s Sparrow me The Drama (Pirates of the Caribbean Collection)! This is the lightest pink i have in my stash!

20130506-230858.jpg

Ain’t that bad.. still looks like my strawberry ice cream after my matt top coat! Got my matt top coat from Etude House (it was about S$10 i think..) Just a reasonable coat and you can see you ice cream foaming! LOL~ BTW, does top coat affects the colour? Because i feels that this pink looks lighter after i applied my matt top coat. It looks much darker in the bottle.. *ponder*

20130506-231839.jpg

So with my nail paint, i start to dot the chocolate sauce like how cute polish does it! Not that bad.. this nail paint are pretty opaque and dries quite fast..! Although my chocolate sauce ain’t very good looking but i think my sprinkles looks worst! hahahaha!!!

20130506-232103.jpg

But with the top coat, A GOOD TOP COAT, it looks much better now! At least the chocolate sauce looks more like a chocolate sauce now – tho the sprinkles din look any better! hahaha!

20130506-232927.jpg

Looking from far, i think it’s great!!! hahahahaha!! Try to do your chocolate sauce today and start admiring them!

You can follow cutepolish from HERE (youtube) or HERE (facebook) for great nail art design!!!

UPDATE!! UPDATE!!

Hope u guys like my taro ice cream too!! 😀

Oriental Valentine!

What can you come up with using this few colors?? Well i tried and i managed to get something that fits the CNY mood that we’re having now and the coming-soon Valentine!!

Seriously, i like Etude House 3-in-1 packed polish! They all comes in great combination of colours. Previously i had one of the Juicy Cocktail collection called Princess Marry, it look gorgeous!! Now this Christmas Miracle (from my BFF) looks stunning too!!

So what do we do first?? Base coat of course! After the base, paint your nails RED! In this nail art, i used Santa Red. Its a bright red with a bit gold-ish duochrome.. It looks more golden while in the bottle, not very obvious when you applied on your nails.. BUT still, its a very pretty color!

Before i forget, i like the polish brush too.. its flat brush! i think the 3-in-1 packed polish all have flat brush.. this made it lot easier to apply polishes~! ^_^

20130203-221441.jpg

Eeew~! Unglam!! hahahah! yes, some days when i have very shaky hands but still wana paint my nails, this is what happen!!! Polish all over my cuticles. T_T but fear not!! Cuz with the aid of an orange stick (and a lil cotton), this unglam polish will be *poof* gone!

And next, i grabbed my black polish and a thin brush to start drawing tree brunches on my nails.. Remember, brunches need not be straight lines.. i haven seen any 180 deg STRAIGHT brunches before.. lol!

20130203-221452.jpg

So after brunches is drawn, you can pick up your orange stick again and start dipping for glitters!!! Just place a few (or ONE) glitters at selective spot to make it looks like little flower (for my nail art, it’s cherry blossom that I’m trying to imitate,,)

20130203-221505.jpg

You can see, my drawing skill seriously need rooms of improvement!! HAHAH but looking at it from far, it’s still pretty nice!! >_<

20130203-221619.jpg

So now that the cherry blossom is done, i used Golden Bell to add some glamor to it..  Golden Bell is … AMAZING!

(Indoor lighting)

It’s filled with mirco glitters, medium hexagon glitters, small hexagon glitters.. comparing this with Etude’s Marry Gold, i can say Golden Bell is more “golden” than Marry Gold. But one thing about Marry Gold that i like is that, it has a little holo effect!!! NICE tooooo!

Closer look at my cherry blossom?? hahaha it look so pathetic!

But still thanks for reading this humble post! i promise to practice more

 

Nude Bling Bling Nails!

Bought this some times back but haven’t really got a chance to use it.. Over the weekend i decided to remove my colorful nails and do something more to nude tone. tada~~ and i found this pack lying in my basket of new polishes… GOTTA GIVE IT A TRY no matter what!!20120730-221835.jpg

You can achive beautiful gradient nails with Etude House Juicy Cocktail Gradation Nails polish.. Each pack comes in 3 little bottle. Application was easy for mi. It does not have broad brush like OPI but definitely is a bigger(broader) brush than China Glaze..20120730-221852.jpg

20120730-222058.jpg

So here…. the nude color first then the micro glitter then the big bling bling one! This time i used 3 coat of base color as it was rather sheer and my nails line are seen thru.. but i ltr realise it doesn’t matter in fact as i will be appling my microglitz and big bling bling polish.. oh well~!

20120730-223018.jpg

I dun have much photo to spam for this as it is a nth too fascinating nail art. (But still..) i submit below pic for The Polish Well Fashion Contest!!20120730-223100.jpg

Definitely looking fwd to the results~~~ 4 more hrs to goooo!!!
