Halloween is coming soon and every nail artists are searching for Halloween nails ideas. This cute little mummies are not my original idea. Not knowing who first started it, I can't credit anyone.
Some people use Konad stamp for mummy nails, but I thought it will be too stiff for a cute little mummies. Personally I really like these little guys. They are very cute and a lot of people has been complimenting them. Even my mom likes them! :D
I used OPI Alpine Snow as the white base. Followed by sponging using OPI Strangers Tide and Sinful Colors Nirvana to make it look dirty and muddy. For the black lines I used LA Colors Nail Art in Black. The striper is indeed thick, that's why the lines on the mummy are thick. You can use simple long nail art brush, but it's a hassle.
Hi everyone! As some of you might know, yesterday, 20 Sept, was my birthday! I had a birthday dinner with my family on the 18th because my dad have to go to Malaysia on the 20th. Shucks :(. But anyway, I had a great time! I also got a birthday card from Sara! And an amazing (and also heavy) package from Maria! I will be posting a blog entry about the nail mail / presents from Maria in the future. For now, just enjoy this video of me unwrapping and gasping and squealing...
I know I haven't been updating my so called daily blog, but I have been busy lately, and I hope you understand. Today, I fell sick, and have been spending the day in my bed. Fever, sluggish, headache.. Just everything in one. Why do I get sick after my birthday? Who knows?
OPI Suzi Skis in Pyreness, CG Wireless Holo Top Coat, Nicole One Less Lonely Glitter, Nubar Nail Art Silver Glitter
Anyway, a day before the birthday dinner, I went to our secret nail group and posted that I need an idea for a birthday mani. Something with CG Wireless and gray / purple themed. A lot of you guys wrote amazing ideas to me, and also Maria is so amazing that she even recorded a video of the idea she came up with. But the next day, my mom was rushing me and told me to hurry cause we need to go out and stuff.. So I came up with something quick and simple, which is the picture above. How do you like it? Friends been telling me that they like it, but I was not happy with it. Why? It was hella chunky on the tip cause of the glitters. The next day it chipped and I got mad and peeled it. Then my Chihuahua, Queen, bit me on my thumb, and made a hole on the polish. Lucky it didn't got my nailbed. But yea, that mani lasted 2 days.
I saw that my nails getting yellow-er.. So I trimmed down my nails again.. shorter. My dad told me that I should just cut it all off, well I thought about it, but my nail bed is oval, so if I cut it all off, it will take ages to make a square tip nails again.
Oh! Another thing! My dad has been owing me a new laptop since last year, and apparently he felt bad and got me a brand new laptop for my birthday (THANKS DADDY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!). It is the Asus G74SX. It is super heavy, 5kgs / 10pounds. But the design is super sleek and omg amazing. The spec is amazing high, and review shows that this laptop is one of the best laptop out there. I agree that I am a gamer, and I need the spec to edit videos too. So this laptop is super perfect! (Don't worry my MacBookPro, I won't abandon you, I'll just erase your memory (reformat) and make you useful, somehow...
Thank you everyone of you who wished me happy birthday. I couldn't thank enough!
This has been on my nails for 3 days already. It is 3 coats of OPI Mr. & Mrs. Mimosas and 1 coat of Deborah Lippmann Glitters In The Air. Glitters In The Air is one of the two Deborah Lippmann nail polish I have, and it is my favourite from all Deborah Lippmann's polish. Maybe because I love baby blue and baby pink, maybe cause it has the blue-ish milky base, maybe cause of the name. But I love it. Even though I said that, I totally hate how sheer the polish is. I can almost say that I hate wearing it without another colour as a base. My nail tips shows really clearly and it really uglified the whole thing. So here I have Mr. & Mrs. Mimosas as base coat to hide that ugliness.
Mr. & Mrs. Mimosas is not my favourite nude colour at all. It is very hard to apply on my finger, I don't know if it is because of the formula or is it me, but i keep getting bald spots! 2 coats usually are opaque already but I had to do 3 coats on this particular mani. Don't know why I did that, but i think it was because of some bald spots, just in case.
Overall, I really like this mani. It makes my hand looks more feminine. I don't usually wear nudes or light colour since there was some people who said it doesn't suit my hand. And well I do feel awkward with it. But this mani makes it a whole different experience! I LOVE IT! it's super cute!
Last night i recorded a video for my water marbling technique attempt. A lot of people has been hyped about this technique. And it is a relatively hard technique to be able to be good at. A long time ago I actually tried it for the first time on two nails and I did quite nicely. But it was only two nails! So this time I thought why not make a video on my attempt. I made this attempt along with my Lucky Dip #1 on the last post.
Hi guys! This is my first 'Lucky Dip'! What's a Lucky Dip you ask? Well, it's just a challenge I made for myself by dipping my hand into all my polish stash and pick some colours, and whatever colours I get, I have to do a nailart attempt with those colours.
So this time, I got Essie Mint Candy Apple, OPI Mod-ern Girl, CG Happy Go Lucky. What an odd colour combination, I thought. Today I recorded a video for water marbling attempt, so i thought why not make these colours into water marble nailart too. I went for it and I got quite pretty result! It kinda reminds me of retro dress though.. Don't you think so? It does look RETRO isn't it?
Yea... I totally ruined my index finger.. Just after I put top coat on, my other finger bumped into it.. ;__;
After I cut my nails short, I had no idea on what to do with my nails, so I went for a plain one colour look. From hundreds of polish, I choose OPI Dating a Royal. I always think this blue is super pretty. It is not dark and not light. It's beautiful. Application was nice, as you guys might know, OPI tends to have runny but opaque formula. Over all, I am pretty happy with it.
How do you like 'em?
*Sorry for dull and dirty nails on the image, I took the pic on day 3 after I apply it on my nails, so I had some scratches and dull spot on the nails.*
A few days ago my friend asked me if I am going to put up a picture of my Teal Toes to support Ovarian Cancer Awareness. I was super confused because but I don't have exact teal colour. The only two close teal colour I have is Rimmel Sky High and OPI Ski Teal We Drop. Rimmel Sky High is more to turquoise, but I really love the colour, and it looks teal-ish under dimmed light. OPI Ski Teal We Drop is too dark, and the last time i paint it on my toes, it turns out gooey and ugly.
So I choose Rimmel Sky High for my Teal Toes colour! How do you like the colour? It is my favourite colour from my Rimmel collection. And it is one of my earlier collection from back in middle school ^^
