[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] 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] Spring Yellow

This past week was hitting 10 degrees Celsius!
The weather was really nice.

I feel the Spring coming~ Yay! =D

Now, let's place the cold Winter aside and prepare ourselves for sunshine-filled Spring, shall we? ;)
  
 A little bit of Sandra in the sun~ [Mambo No.5 - Lou Bega]
_________________________________________________________________________________
 
The materials you'll need:
  • clear polish
  • base coat
  • white polish
  • yellow polish
  • silver glitter art pen
  • pastel blue polish
  • pastel green polish
  • big & small pins
We will be using the pins for the polka dots!
Just you wait~ ;D

Step 1: Apply the base coat

We know this will be routine. ;)
Always apply the base coat before polishing colors!

Step 2: Apply the yellow polish

Geez, this yellow polish took three layers to look solid! >=(

Step 3: Use the big pin to make pastel green polka dots

Make that two dots with enough space for two more small dots in between~

Step 4: Use the small pin to make white polka dots between the pastel green

See what I mean? ;D

Step 5 (Optional): Alternate between pastel green and pastel blue polka dots on each finger

Well, this is if  you wanted to do so. =)
If not, go either blue or green all the way! >_<

Step 6: Apply glitter lines around the linear dots

Without it, it can look a little too plain and/or sloppy so I would recommend adding the glitter lines. :)

Step 7: Finish the nail art with a clear polish

Nail art always lasts longer when clear coat is applied. =D

And there you have it!
Your new Spring time yellow nail art!
