[Nail Art] Cherry Blossom Pink

It feels good to be back from hiatus! =)

Today was such a nice sunny day, so I took some pictures of cherry blossoms on my way home.

So this is my inspiration for today's belated update...Will you forgive me??T_T

I photographed the flower by using a Android application called Retro Camera.

It's pretty neat!

Today's nail art is going to be....(drum roll, please~)

A glittery pink gradient with cute cherry blossom designs! =D

__________________________________________________________________________________

 Today's materials:

• Vaseline
• Sponge
• Pin needle
• Aluminum foil
• Base coat
• Clear polish
• Silver glitter polish
• White polish
• Pink polish
• Gold glitter art pen

 Step 1: Apply base coat

Like we always do ;D

Step 2: Apply Vaseline on your skin

To easily clean the upcoming mess! =O

 Step 3: Apply pink polish to sponge

By the edge of course!

 Step 4: Tap the sponge onto the nail horizontally

And tap away to make a nice pretty gradient~

 Step 5: Remove the excess polish on the sides of the nails

Easily removed thanks to Vaseline! <3

 Step 6: Apply silver glitter polish

Just over the gradient only!

 Step 7: After pouring some white polish on aluminum foil, dip the pin tip

Make sure you have just enough so it won't drip on the wrong place of your nail! =(

 Step 8: Make five white dots in a pentagonal arrangement

Like any cherry blossom petals would look like. =)

 Step 9: Lay pin needle 30 degrees from your nail and lightly scrape the middle of the circles

Away from the center in a radiating format! >=D

 Step 10: Apply gold glitter in the center of the flower petals with an art pen

You always need some sort of yellow tone for the pollen-producing organ of the flower.
(Asian nerd talk!) =D

 Step 11: Apply clear coat

Always neccessary for a long lasting nail art! ;)

Complete!

[Nail Art] Vintage Newspaper

I finally passed that miserable Korean driving test and earned my permit! >=D

Thanks to my friend who needed a French-to-English translation from a website, I decided to give the brand new technique a try.

It did not result as nicely as I wished, but what can I say; it was my first try. ;D

Middle and ring finger design got messed up... =(

________________________________________________________________________________

 Today you will need:

• newspaper
• scissors
• clear polish
• nude-color polish
• base coat
• hand sanitizer or drinking alcohol (anything with mostly ethanol)

 Step 1: Cut newspaper big enough to cover the nails

I had trouble finding an article without death, war, and/or politics as topics... -_-

Step 2: Apply base coat

 Step 3: Apply nude color polish

 Step 4: Apply ethanol product on the nails

Make sure it is just enough to dampen the surface! ;)

 Step 5: Paste the newspaper on the nail

Press it down and don't shift it around!

Step 6: Apply a little more ethanol product on newspaper

I got lazy on this step for my middle and ring finger...

That's why those don't look as pretty. =(

 Step 7: Carefully peel the newspaper

Nicely done!! >=D

Now repeat steps 4~7!!

 Step 8: Apply clear coat

The fonts darken when top coat is applied! =D

Complete!

Ignore my middle and ring finger design, please... T_T
