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~

Nail Art Failure :(

Hi everyone! Today features one of my nail art fails. Well, I fell in love with one of the products in my shop, the black lace nail sticker the moment I saw it and during exam period I thought I'd give it a try!

Well, being so stressed out nothing appealed to me. Nothing! Unbelievable considering how many colours I have. So I decided to make it simple and just do a nude with lace french tip look. Except I forgot I needed long nails. And that's how I ended up with this.

Booo :(

On the bright side! My next nail art is a screaming success! (to me) Coming in the next post!

Etude House Petite Darling with Rhinestones

Hey all! Recently I've noticed alot of girls favouring a pink/nude base with a glitter gradient french tip and rhinestones are the base. Looking at that makes me want to do it too, but I didn't want to use pink. I was in the mood for brown! So I attempted to do it using the brown I got from Etude house. 

I did not manage to put on the glitter gradient tip because I just couldn't find a glitter that suited this special shade of brown. I did, however find rhinestones that seem to suit this gem of a brown. For a swatch, click here. So this brown is from Etude House, BR305. And the rhinestones can be bought from my shop, here.

Once again, this brown is really something to behold. It's a little watery, but once applied and dried it really looks remarkable. There's nothing else to say. This is my favourite brown of all time. I love the smoothness and flatness of the nail polish and it's just such a unique colour. 

I think I might try a sea water themed nail art again. I feel like a blue this time. Maybe when I have time whee~. That's all for today! Till next time, Byee~

Adventures with Magnetic Nail Polish!

Hi guys! So, a week ago an online package arrived and I received my cheapo Magnetic nail polish in Red! I couldn't wait to try it out I was so excited! Here are the results. :) 

After a while though I decided to use nail stickers on it, and I ended up with this. I think it looks really classy! :) This is what it looks like under the sun. 

Two pictures because the color is just gorgeous. I'm not really one for reds, but this was a deep deep metallic red and I think the depth that magnetic effect gives really helps to bring out the nail stickers hehe.

 

I love this so much that it makes me want to do this nail art again just looking at the pictures. Well maybe next time. Just to say though, I think magnetic nail polish takes time to master. You have to put on a coat of polish thick enough so that it is is still flowy enough to be attracted to the magnet you place over it...That's hard for me because I always build up the polish in thin coats. 

OK! Now on to the next nail art, which is what I have on now :) See you in the next post!

Nfu Oh 61 Swatch

Hi all! It's gonna be a short post, I A while ago I bought my very first Nfu Oh! It's a colour 61, which means it's a black jelly with rainbow flakies. These are awesome.

Usually they'll reflect off a orange, rusty red colour, but from my thumb you can see a little bit of green going in. And under flourescent lights when you angle your nails just right, you get a bright emerald green. Yes, I tried that on the train and it was beautiful.

I'm so sorry it's not picture heavy, but they chipped before I could take more pictures. I was doing some heavy duty work that day.

Anyways! There's another blog post coming up, it's about magnetic polish whee!! Seeya in the next post, byee~
