When Classic Meets Techno Nail Design

Hey guys!!! So I dug my old digital camera out and finally decided to put it to good use! My family abandoned that camera years ago because we got a DSLR. Because I’m such a noob, I’m still not familiar with the functions and this is the main reason why I’ve not used it for any of my nail swatches yet. The digital camera that I’ll be using from today onwards will be Panasonic DMC-FX10. It’s actually a really old model and it has only about 7 megapixels (I think). At least that is better than my current iPhone 4 that I’ve been using from the start to take pics of my nails. Amazing, isn’t it?

Anyway, let me know if this camera has an improvement to my swatches because if not, I will switch back to using my iPhone 4, lol. I like this digital camera much better because it can zoom in w/o making my pics blurry. But, it doesn’t really have that ‘bright’ factor that I always have in my swatches.

Okay…. back to nails. You should have noticed the weird title of this nail design and yes, I AM NOT THAT CREATIVE in naming all my nail designs :P It gets harder and harder after every nail art post, trust me! I am inspired by ClaraH and here’s my rendition of it. :) I’m definitely going to redo this and this time without the accent glitter nails. Also, I think the leaves of my roses are so awkward!! I should have drawn a pair for a rose.

I am using Dior Blue Label as a base for my accent nails, topped with Barry M Blue Glitter. OMG… Barry M Blue Glitter is so densely packed, it is more of a turquoise fine glitter in a clear base! I did a blue base underneath because I thought most glitter will be sparse and randomly spread out but this one is such a beautiful exception. LOVE! <3

The base colour on my other nails is Barry M Strawberry Ice-cream, I apologise for the colour difference because no matter how I photograph it, the colour doesn’t show up! :/ It is actually a bubblegum pink.

Roses are drawn with acrylic paint. Other colours used will be listed under the tags section.

Dior Blue Label

What a lovely day it is!! I’m dying to try Barry M nail paints and also more Essie nail polishes! (I know I mentioned that I don’t really like Essie but a few I’ve gotten from Smoochiezz sort of changed my mind!) My local mall is selling lovely shades of Essie like Coat Azure, Van D’ Go, Turquoise and Caicos and I think I might pick them up soon! :)

Dior Blue Label is a blue-grey with very light and fine silver shimmer. Honestly, the shimmer is very hard to see, I had to put my bottle directly under the sun and squint my eyes. If I wasn’t that particular, I would have said that this is a creme polish. The shimmer is somewhat hidden!

And I have to say I love Dior brushes. They’re insanely huge for a polish wand and I initially thought that it’s gonna get polish in my cuticles and flood them. But, I was able to control the brush really well (because it is angled)
