Triple Color Free Hand!


Hi guys! For this nail art I did everything free hand and even tried to use rhinestones to jazz it up a little. Here's a pictorial :)

Right, as a base color I had Bogie from China Glaze, which was a mistake, it made everything that much darker and ancient looking. You can click here for a swatch.

Then going diagonally I used a no brand polish that was a present from my cousin. (It's Rainbow brand I don't even know if Sasa still sells them it's ancient)

To top it all off I went diagonally again with Nubar's Purple Beach. I have no idea why I sandwiched that pink between two deep purples...it just makes the whole nail art so dark. You can click here for a swatch of Purple Beach.

Then after that just border the lines of the colors with rhinestones. This actually allows you more freedom in freehanding. The rhinestones would cover up any wonky lines you might have accidentally made. But putting so many is such hard work...so I only did it on my thumb and ring finger. You can click here to see all the different nail art designs I've done using rhinestones :)

As you can see my thumb's color lines are parallel to each other as opposed to dividing my nails into 3 triangles like my other fingers. You can really do it any way you want it as long as your brush is thin enough :)

That's all for today, sorry my hiatus took longer than expected :/ But! As usual, if you haven't already do like my Facebook page (which is also a shop) so that you have the latest on what nail art I'm doing and blog posts that come up. Do follow my blog if you like what you see here :) Till next time then, Byee~

Nubar duo chromes, Glitter Gal 3D Holos and Konading fun!

Hi all!

In the previous post I mentioned that I have bought new nail polish and I can't wait to show all of you! Recently I have discovered a local retailer of quality nail products, she owns an online shop called Mei Mei's Signatures, and she offers Glitter Gal nail polish as well as Nfu Oh's top coats. It's awesome!

Ok so having discovered her shop, I decided to get myself some holographic nail polish. I'm not gonna lie, it did cost a pretty penny but it was a gift from Mr Meep. So..YEY!

Let's move on to the good stuff. I bought two duo chromes from Nubar, Wildlife and Purple Beach, and two 3D Holographic nail polish from Glitter Gal, in Deep Purple and Green. Now I sorta made a mistake at buying Green from the 3D Holo collection, I really wanted a deep green and this looked more like a silver than anything else. But if you look at the swatches, the rainbow holo shows up really well on the silvery surface. Who can complain with holos like these!?

When I got my package I was so excited that I immediately applied all the colours onto my two hands. The above photo is Nubar duo chromes and the below photo is Glitter Gal's 3D holos. Look at the mini rainbows in Glitter Gal's polishes! The only complain I have about the Nubar duo chromes is that it really is only one colours, except when you put your fingers at different angles. I bought Wildlife for the beautiful olive green, really, but usually all I see is the copper. It is still wonderful to apply though :)
 I have Purple Beach on my index finger, and Wildlife on my middle finger.
 There's Glitter Gal's Green on my pinky, and Deep Purple on my ring finger.

Since you can't really see what the duochrome color is, here are two angled photos of Purple Beach, it's a mixture of a deep grey-green with purple (which you can see at the lower part of the nail).

And here are two angled photos of Wildlife. See what I mean about the wonderful olive green? If only it's like this most of the time. You can see the copper at the lower part of the nail.

I had this mani for about a week and I was really reluctant to remove them cos it was just so pretty! So I jazzed it up with Konad plate M57's zebra print! 

Here it is with the Nubar duo chromes :) 
An angled view to see a little bit of duo chrome action!
I kinda like having white zebra stripes on dark colours :D     






Here it is with Glitter Gal's 3D holo polish! :)
Isn't it just so cute and pretty?!
So that's all for today people! Till next time, byee~
