Simply Chic!

Yongying is my official first pedicure customer! She opted for an express pedicure and she chose OPI Baby It’s ‘Coal’ Outside!, a black shimmer with tiny silver bits!

As I’ve mentioned earlier, she absolutely love embellishments and again chose a gold square stud for her big toes and ss4 crystals for the rest!

Gelish: Jumping Geometry

Shermagne actually decided on polka dot accents on her nails but changed her mind when she saw my new nail art wheel!

This design is from the latest issue of Nail Max or Nail Up! magazine! (I can’t remember from which!)

Photobucket

The base colour is a light grey from AngelPro 14, which in some angles look like a pale, dusty light lilac! All art was done in Gelish, so head to the tabs section to know all the colours used!! :)

So cute! I find that shapes are really in trend this season!

Gelish: Retro Squares!

Rachel requested for this design and I just had to make it happen!

Photobucket

She also chose the colour combi that she wanted and also didn’t want the gold studs as featured.

Photobucket

So I suggested doing a subtle glitter on her green base since it was odd to leave it plain, so that’s Artistic Colour Gloss With It and Gelish Vegas Nights! All nail art was done with gel colours!!! Love them, they look so cute together!

Rachel even mentioned she wanted to corporate yellow in her next Gelish mani! Can’t wait for her next appointment!

Gelish: Slanted French with Abstract Roses

Melissa showed me a photo of the nail design that she wanted (will upload later) and we did a few modifications here and there! She took this photo from a salon at Holland Village!

She chose her own colour combination and decided to keep all the roses at the pink area instead of alternate as white roses will not show up well under a light grey base!

Photobucket

So this is the end result! Used Gelish Make A Difference and Angel.Pro 14 for the base colours and a gold glitter striper for the finishing touches!

I love it when I’m able to recreate a look that my customers want on their nails!

Leopard Toes

Okay… this is my first time doing nail art on my toes!!!!! As usual, I did my favourite print: leopard! I caught this colour combination and design on Nail Venus Winter 2012 (LOL I know right… Japanese are incredibly fast!!) and I had to try it out! :D

I find it really awkward to do art on my toes because I can’t seem to draw on some parts that I can’t reach lol! :/ And I think this is my first time posting up pics of my toes too… LOL

Photobucket

I used Barry M Grey and OPI Isn’t It Precious? as the bases, OPI Glitzerland and pink acrylic paint ;) I added crystals at random places, hahahaha! I think I might need to do a full classic pedicure on myself soon.. I have lots of dead and dry skin!!! :(

Merry X’mas to all!!!! ^^

Gelish: Royal Blood

Hello everyone! I named this set of manicure Royal Blood because I’ve always thought purple is associated with the royal family because purple is a rather sophisticated colour! And… purple is also my favourite ^^

Photobucket

I used Artistic Colour Gloss Fly on the rest of my nails and Artistic Colour Gloss Muse on my accent nails. Muse is a rather funny colour. It’s a light pinkish purple in the bottle but after it cures, it changes it’s colour to a pale greenish lilac. Sounds weird but it’s true! It’s kinda like Princess Tiara from Hand & Harmony which I also own! Lol I ought to slap myself cuz I bought two colours that are almost identical, sigh! I added crystals and a large pearl bead which is unfortunately off-center -.-

Also, I realised that my pinky nail grows the fastest after doing gelish on myself so many times. Weird…

Black Gradient Ribbon Nail Art

What a lovely Sunday!! I spent my entire afternoon doing a few new nail designs on my colour wheel! I’ll post it up in a couple of days :) I was inspired by YouTube videos and my Nail Up! magazine!

So this one was kinda like an impromptu nail design. I wanted to do a gradient design so this is what I’ve came up with! I also decided to use my striping tape for the first time and to me, it was kinda tricky to handle!

Photobucket

I also hand drew a ribbon on my ring finger as an accent nail. :) don’t laugh at the shape of my ribbon please, I’m doing my best with my left hand alrdy! :/

Hope you guys like this one as much as I do! :)

Goodnight!

Barry M Grey

Hello guys! Sorry for the uncalled absence :( I wasn’t in the mood to actually post any photos of my nails because they’re still not in good shape. Also, my camera decided to freak out the last few days and the colour wasn’t depicted correctly. I wouldn’t want to mislead anyone in my swatches just because of the colour error. Anyway, now I’m back with my usual nail swatches :) I hope you don’t mind my nibs on my nails though. And another bad thing about short nails is that I cannot wrap my tips with polish, the polish will flow on my skin and gets messy :/ so I apologise if you can see abit of my nail tip.

I don’t think I will continue doing my loot post from HK because the response wasn’t what I expected, sorry!

Photobucket

Barry M Grey is obviously a grey but a dark and warm one. I like this colour alot, this is great for Fall. Sorry for the lack of adjectives and words to describe this colour but holy crap, its gorgeous! You gotta own this one if you love greys!

I’d like to ask a favour from you guys. I can’t stand looking at my short nails so is there any product/treatment that I can use and purchase in Singapore to help in my nail growth? Thank you if you could help and let me know your opinion! :)

American Apparel Echo Park

Hey guys! I’m blogging at Hongkong so isn’t this awesome??? :D

I went to H&M and the ladies market last night and I practically went crazy. I bought quite a number of things for cheap! Because the Singapore H&M just opened on 3 Sept and it was crazy! The queue is insane because we have to queue to get in, argh. Lots of security guards to and only a few people are allowed to go in at a time. Kinda retarded because the store is going to be there for at least a few years so stop queuing people! Lol.

Haha excessive rant, lol. Anyway I removed my gelish mani because it chipped on me last week so I peeled them off even though I know it isn’t nice haha!

Photobucket

American Apparel Echo Park is soft neutral grey creme, very light and flattering! This was 2 coats!

Essie Fair Game

Hello! Sorry for the late postings these days, I’ve been busy with school work! Anyway I have exciting news to share! The Halloween Horrors team contacted me and said I was shortlisted from my auditions! (WOOHOOOO!!!) so I need to attend a briefing tomorrow and a training camp next weekend in order to be on the scare actors team! I’m already looking forward for this year’s Halloween :D

They actually sent me an email saying I was not selected the day before and I was feeling kinda bummed out. They apologized for the error the day after and voila… I’m IN!!!! :D

Lol ok sorry for the long intro, I get too hyped up at times! :P

Photobucket

Essie Fair Game is a frosty gunmetal blue-grey with silver shimmer. Frost polishes are my least favorite but I don’t know why I bought this but I’m loving it! The brush strokes wasn’t that visible on the nail which I’m really surprised at because frosty polishes always have this poison factor that most of us dislike.

Anyway I really like the colour of this one and how it looks on me! I did 2 coats here and application was a breeze. But exactly 12 hours later, I had an enormous chip at my thumb and subsequently on my ring finger as well. I guess Essie doesn’t last a day on me :/ how I wish the formula was as good as the colour!

I need to go finish up my tutorials now because I need to study for an important test this coming Tuesday! ;) Goodnight!
