Hello Kitty Water Decals!

Hey all! Today I would like to show you my adventures with water decals! :D It was so much fun and once you get the hang of it it's super easy heh. Also they are super cute, and it's as detailed as Konad, but with color!
 
As the base I used Come To Poppy from OPI's Nice Stems collection. A swatch and nail art post can be found here

Also took the opportunity to make a video tutorial out of this. I used a different format this time, without any talking but just words and music heh. It's alot easier to edit this way and it didn't take 1 hour like it did the other videos. What do you guys think? I'm quite proud of it heh.


Anyways, 5/5 thumbs up for water decal! I just love the detail and it's nice to go all out uber girly for once :) If you're interested in getting water decals you can check it out at my shop here. Understand this took a long time coming shall try to blog more often whee! Till next time, Byee~

Orange Gradient Nail Art Tutorial!

Hi all! It's been a while since I posted, and I do have exciting things lined up today! So, last week, I went around to filming and editing a gradient tutorial! *clap clap*

So, to start off with, I had a base color using Etude House's HD nail polish (OR205) in Orange. I have previously a swatch on it, you can check it out here. To do the gradient I used a favourite of mine, China Glaze's Dreamsicle. A swatch and nail art post can be found here.

Without further ado, here's my video!


I'm thinking of not talking altogether while doing nail art. It really takes up a lot of my concentration and I sound all distracted and unenthusiastic.

More photos! I took this right after I finished doing my nails so I didn't have time to scrap off the top coat that got onto my cuticles. 

A blurry shot to shot off the wonderful flashes of colour from Dreamsicle!

Aaand fun with water decals. I've already filmed that tutorial and I have yet to edit it! Aren't you guys just to excited heh.

That's all for today! I have to get working on my water decal video editing and do lots of stuff! To buy water decals, click here. Go ahead, show my shop some love. You know you want to. Till next time, Byee~

Sea-themed Nails

Hi again! Ever since I bought 3D Steel Balls as stock for my shop I have always wanted to try them. And once again, I decided on a sea themed nail art. Some how sea-themed nail art is the easiest haha. Did one previously here you can go check it out if you want :)

So anyway! I used China Glaze's Sea Spray (check out swatch/nail art I did here) as a base colour and China Glaze's Blue Hawaiin glitter polish for the gradient look. Did it while I was studying. Best time to do gradients by the way, I can put on a layer of polish for each page. And that stops the polish from dragging when you put a new coat of polish on layers that are not that dry.

This is what I ended up with after I put on the steel beads. After the exams I'm really going to put up a tutorial for gradients and apply 3D Steel Balls. Honest. I love that it pops out and seems to stick there on its own. So pretty too.

Here's a more colour accurate picture. Please ignore the smudges at the edges of my nails. There wasn't that much going on on this hand because I was still getting the hang of it.

And here, is my left hand! My favourite finger (if you can put it that way) for this nail art is probably on my index finger. Very swishy looking if you ask me. 

Here's a clearer picture. I love it and the gradient really turned out well! So pretty. Can't wait to try it again! Wonder what colours I should use for a gradient tutorial. What do you guys think?

So that's all for today! I daresay the next nail art will still be a gradient, so that I can film a tutorial. Should I still put the steel balls in then? Hmmm...Before you go, if you're interested in getting the steel balls from me you can go to my shop, the link takes you straight to the item. Go like the page too! So that you can participate in giveaways! Till next time, Byee~
