[Nail Art] Citrus Delight

I am back after yet another failure on my driving test... sigh

Anyways, I am hearing that bright colors are trendy these days~

Since the only bright color I have from my palette is orange, today's nail art will be very fruity! ;D

By the way, I made lemon tea a couple of days ago, and it was successful!

I might upload the recipe later~ ^^


Yummy~~

 Today's materials are:

• clear polish
• base coat
• gold glitter polish
• orange polish
• white nail art pen
• vaseline
• pin (or anyting with a small round end)

 Step 1: Apply base coat

 Step 2: Apply orange polish

Make sure you draw it circular!

 Step 3: Draw the white part of the fruit with white nail art pen

 Just like an orange~

Step 4: Use pin to add random orange circles on leftover space

I would be most effective with minimum number of circles with varying sizes! =)

 Step 5: Apply gold glitter polish just over the orange (the fruit)

Just a thin layer because you don't want too much glitter to ruin the design. =(

 Step 6: Apply clear coat

The funny thing is, with the same design, you can pick yellow to do lemon or pick green to do lime! =D

[Nail Art] Chic Zebra Print

A couple of days ago, I went to Everland and it was fun!!! =D

The last time I had been there was years ago, and I found the Safari very entertaining.

So, today's design is going to be..........Drum roll please~

Zebra Print!!!!! >_<

Heck yes! Also, I am actually thinking about uploading a leopard print next week!

We'll see how it turns out! ;D

Lion King music in the background~

 Today's necessary items are:

• Base coat
• Clear polish
• White polish
• Glitter polish (preferably silver)
• Black nail art pen
• Sponge
• Vaseline

 Step 1: Apply base coat

This is very important because it lessens the damage to your nails!

 Step 2: Paste vaseline on the skin of each finger

This will save us time from removing the nail polish on the skin after sponge dapping.

 Step 3: Apply white polish on the edge of the sponge

Are you ready for the mess? >=D

 Step 4: Dap the sponge diagonally until the end of the nail is coloured

We don't want to leave any ugly white end of our nails to show, do we? ;)

 Step 5: Apply glitter polish on the edge of the sponge

Just as we did with the white polish~

 Step 6: Dap the sponge diagonally fading into the white gradient

Just like the Saint Patrick's Gradient~

Step 7: Draw zebra pattern diagonally with black nail art pen

Start from the sides then lightly lift the art pen to narrow the ends.

Step 8: Apply clear coat

Let it dry and we're done! =D

Tada! Here is our chic end result! >_<

We'll see you next weekend!!

[Nail Art] Saint Patrick's Day Gradient

Yikes! This one's very overdue! o_o

My bad, I had to go take a driver's test a couple of days ago.

 
Everything is computerized...Especially the scoring...

And I screwed up at the last bit of the course! Blarg!

 
I hate you, parallel parking!!! >=(

Aside all the complaining, Saint Patrick's Day is here! =D

Saint Patrick's Day is an Irish holiday celebrating the introduction of Christianity in Ireland. Saint Patrick was actually from Roman Britain around the 4th century and was kidnapped by Irish raiders when he was sixteen. Eventually, he fled back to Britain only to return to Ireland to Spread the word of God.

I love Wikipedia. >=D

Instead of the cliche clover patterns, I decided to go for a two-tone gradient.

It will be more easy to match with your outfits the next day. ovo

My only green polish was very light so I decided to use yellow also!

 The materials you need:

• Glitter polish
• Base coat
• Clear polish
• Green polish (preferably light)
• Yellow polish
• Vaseline (our lifesaver)
• Sponge (any type would suffice)

 Step 1: Apply the bast coat

Like we always do~

Step 2: Apply vaseline on the skin of every finger

Dapping the sponge can make a mess on the sides of your fingers! =(

Step 3: Apply yellow polish on the straight edge of the sponge

Are you ready for the next step? =D

Step4: Dap the painted sponge on to the nail

Work your way from the tip of the nail to 2/3 of the way up.

This is so the yellow can look faded on the middle of your nail as you tap from the tip. ;)

Step 5: Apply the green polish on another edge of the sponge

Let's reuse 'em!! =D

Step 6: Dap the painted sponge to the nail

It is basically the same process as the yellow, but let the green fade about the middle of your nail! =)

Step 7: Remove the mess on the sides of each finger

Vaseline does help alot in these kind of situations, doesn't it? >=D

Step 8: Apply glitter polish

Make sure not to let the glitter cover up the colors!

Just a thin layer should do just fine. ;D

Step 9: Apply clear polish

Get a habit of doing this step because it does have a function!

Nail arts with clear coat tend to last few more days than nail arts without it. =O

Voila! No more worries about getting pinched to death! Yay! =D

The Pinchfest is on!!! >=D

[Nail Art] White Day Hearts

 Uh oh! White Day is on its way! >=O

For those of you who do not know what White Day is, it is another dreadful day for we singles like Valentine's Day except only that it is on March 14th. T^T

Alright, this what this day is about:

On Valentine's Day, the girl (and yes, I mean girl) gives chocolates to a guy.

On White Day, that guy decides whether or not to give candies to the girl who gave him chocolate.

This is a way for the guy to reply a "yes" for love relationship x3

Why would the girl give the chocolate in the first place?

Because she wants to date him!!

If he replies with candy, tadaaa!

We singles have another eyesore to deal with! xp

For those girls awaiting their Valentines' reply, here's another nail art fit for the occation~

 Omg... The glitter took forever...

The materials you will need:

• clear coat
• base coat
• white polish
• pink polish
• gold glitter art pen

Step 1: Apply base coat

Like always~ ;)

Step 2: Apply pink polish

I wish I had a brighter pink... T_T

Step 3: Dab heart shapes with white polish

There are two ways to do this.
First, flatten the brush and dab into a V shape.
Second, flatten the brush and draw out the V shape using the skinny side.

Use the technique that works for you. =)

Step 4: Outline hearts with gold glitter art pen

Using glitter art pen can actually cover up a lot of the mess we made while making the hearts! >=D
