A different type of butterfly

Hey all! 
You guys have seen butterfly wing manis rite? 
If you haven't then go ask Mr. Google cause he know ALL! XD

I was getting quite bored of the normal type of butterfly wing manis.
Which I categorize as a colour as base (to your liking) with black polish to shape the wings and dots (preferably white) to pattern the wings. 

So I decided to experiment a bit and try something different.
Somehow or another the word "apple" came into mind thus the colours; yellow, red and black. Yellow for the filling, red for the skin and black for the seeds.

This is NOT how I envisioned it. 


It actually doesn't look like butterfly wings. 
FAILURE!
But failure is needed to succeed! 
Maybe a different colour combi would be better and I don't mean the mundane combi.

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

P/S: My middle finger nail on my left hand kinda split from the skin a bit so it hurts...won't be painting my nails until it heals.

3D Dots

Hello all!

Wonder when the last time blogged was? I thought I would mix it up a bit and put everything on the left! XD 

Anywayz, I saw this cool mani on @slacquerr on instagram and tried it out for myself! 

She called them 3D Dots so I shall just go with it! XD 

It looks nice yeah? Feel like experimenting with it a little.

Hopefully it turns out well! ^^


If any of you want to paint this, it's really simple!

1. Paint a base colour of your choice.

2. Use your dotting tool to make blacks dots.

3. Use the same size dotting tool to dot white onto the black dots at an angle, leaving a little of the black dot visible. (This creates a 3D effect)

4. Finally, top it off with a top coat of your choosing! (I like Seche Vite FYI) 


And that's how you do it! 

Hope you guys will have fun with this mani as I did! 

Cheers! 
^^


P/S: I really like how this post came out...I might stick to this format! XD

Butter London Jasper Swatch

Elo Elo!
A friend just asked my why I do not update my blog regularly...
My answer: Lazy ahhhhh

Which is so true! 
So this post is for you! 
=P


First I have to tell you guys a story.

Once upon a time on a nice sunny day. I had Sunday brunch with my girl friends at this cozy french cafe called Roule Galette. This cafe sold yummy crepes and I like them. When we reached the cafe, there were no tables open. As we waited outside the cafe for a table, across the road was a cute little boutique called 'Lady Petrova'. This shop sold cute dress, shoes, and accessories. One of my friends was instantly entranced by it and suddenly found herself walking into it with me following her. As I went deeper into the boutique, I found a small stand with nail polish on it and the closer I got to it, the more excited I got! 


IT WAS A RACK OF BUTTER LONDON POLISHES!!

I have seen so many Butter London nail polish swatches and I they all looked so pretty. When I finally got one I was really excited. Trying not to get a polish similar to the others I already own. I got a bottle of Butter London Jasper.



Jasper is a light pastel yellow and it is absolutely beautiful.
I had to paint 3 layers to get an even and opaque shade though. 

I actually saw a similar colour from Sinful Colours and I plan to get it for comparison but not this month.

Why not this month?

Stay tuned!

Cheers!
