Birdie Blues

Happy Monday all,

*yawnnnn*

Yup, that's sounds like the normal Monday morning response. Le boyfriend suggested painting my nails blue because you know...Monday blues...hahahahhaha

Well I take anything that sounds good. So, I did a blue with white french gradient tips. It reminded me of clouds and how fluffy they are and how nice it would be to sleep on them...

*yawnnnnn*

This post is making me sleepy...but gradients to be are a bit boring now so I did some stamping. Making use of my Moyou London Zodiac Plate, I stamped on a bird on a branch. =) 

Looks really good with the gradient. Like looking up from under a tree with a bird perched on a branch and the cloudy blue sky as the background.  

Colours used:

Base coat - Essence Ultra Strong Nail Hardener

White - OPI Alpine Snow

Blue - Miss Ashleigh Baby's Got The Blues

Black - Mundodeunas 

Top Coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl 

That's it for this post! 

Cheers! 

A Popsicle Wedding!

Hey guys! 

I am currently in Jakarta now on a short trip with the le boyfriend to do a little sightseeing and to attend his friend's wedding. While I'm in the hotel, I might as well share my mani for the wedding! 

Base Coat - Essie Nail Hardener Top Coat
White - OPI Alpine Snow 
Coral - Essie Tart Deco
Pink - Picture Polish Watermelon 
Top Coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl 
White Heart - Ace Gel 

I recently went to a seminar by Yoko Matsuda on gel designs hosted by Haru Global Beauty. I learnt how to make the icing gel then. It was such an amazing experience especially since it was my first time handling gel! 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

羊年快乐! Happy Chinese New Year!

Hi Everyone!

Happy Chinese New Year! (although it's already the 8th day of new year) =P

I'll be flying off to Japan tomorrow for a 2 week holiday and I am super duper excited but leaving tomorrow means I won't be with the fam for chap goh meh (15th and last day of new year). Darn you cheap flight tickets! Sad as I may be for missing 5 days of new year at home, I'll have that much and more fun in Japan especially since we've been planning it for a year!

Anyways! Here's my mani on the 1st and 3rd day of CNY! I wanted to get a gel base mani but it just didn't work out especially with the pricing...

I decided to go with a mani inspired by @svetasanders on instagram which features gold nail polish and coincidentally or NOT i purchased the OPI Gwen Stephani 18k No Doubt Gold polish! The gradient didn't really work for me though =P

Colours Used: 

Red - OPI Big Apple Red
White - OPI Alpine Snow
Gold - OPI No Doubt 18k Gold
Top Coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl
Base Coat - Essie Nail Hardener

For the 3rd day, I went with one that I experimented with before. I actually wanted to double stamp it but red just didn't mix well so I left it with white and gold bamboo in the end. 

Colours Used:

White - OPI Alpine Snow
Gold - China Glaze Passion
Top Coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl
Base Coat - Essie Nail Hardener
Stamped with MoYou London Suki Plate

I'll be posting my Japan mani when I reach Japan hopefully! Can't wait to share it with you guys since it'll be my last CNY mani for the year!

That's it for this post! 
Have a Happy Goat Year! Mehhhhh
Cheers!

A new month and a new challenge! - LacquerDreams #HalloweenChallenge2013 - Day 1 - Ghosts

Hey all!

So it's finally Ocotober! 

The months just seem to past by so fast, I have less than a month of my degree life to go through and into reality I go! 

This month, the challenges all revolve around Halloween and of course @californails came out with a challenge of her own but I decided to challenge myself to LacquerDreams' which I found from @nadeekay's profile instead. 

DO NOT BE AFRAID OF CHANGE!

Not to sound mean but @califonails challenge for the month has much easier themes than LacquerDreams' challenge. As you can see, the first theme is GHOSTS!

*BOO*

Did I scare you? =P 

I really love this mani! 

The ombre turned out well, the shape of the stamp is clear on the pointer finger, and the ghosts are cute and scary! Well, that's what I think =)

It looks better with the Instagram filter too!

Am I right or am I RIGHT! 

That's it for this post!

Look forward to the next theme!

Cheers!

^^

Konad, konad, & more konad!

Phew!

This is my third post in a row for the night!
Not really a big achievement but I'm supposed to be in bed right now ><

Anywayz...so I got to more stamping with my konad plates.

Quite happy with the turnout!

Looks pretty good yeah!

The plates I used from the left:

m79 m73 m78 m60

Kinda order Bundle Monster plates a while ago.

My hand just moved on their own and clicked the order button on the website! >< 

Can't wait for them to arrive! 

I've always seen BM designs all over and they are amazing but it isn't just the design that makes the mani amazing but the person who painted it. The nail artist is the person that controls the design. 

That's it for this post! 

More to come for sure!

Cheers!

#Nailartsep 13 - Glitter

Another day, another mani.

So today's theme is glitter!

I'm not really a big fan of glitter especially since removing it is such a hassle.

I don't really like this mani...I was going for a simple look but I really wanted to play with the studs I just bought thus it came out like this.

Yeah...

I really like the stud gradient but as usual, nothing can stick on my nail.

I might consider using nail glue but I don't like what it does to the nail.

I've been using top coat to stick fimos, studs and rhinestones on.

The glitter is OPI Teenage Dream!

I haven't used this polish in so long...I remember the first time I ordered a set of OPI minis and it was the Katy Perry series!

I really want the Mariah Carey liquid sand series as well as the OPI neon generation set! 

><

Can't wait to get them!!

That's it for this mani!

Cheers!

Better late then never 21st

Hey guys! 

If you follow my instagram @chronosz, then you'll know that I just had my 21st birthday on the 11th of November XD I didn't really know what to paint for my special day but I think anything would be good since no mani can express the happiness I felt that day =)

Happy 21st Birthday to me! 

XD

I've know for months now that I have so many pending manis to share with all you nail lovers and I always thought a post a day would do the trick but I don't think that'll work anymore so I'm just going to post as many as I want whenever I want! 

^^

Cheers! 

Singapore

Hey everyone!!! I'm finally back to posting after my Singapore shopping trip! 

I got some polishes from Singapore and shall be doing the swatches SOON!

Other than that...MY NAIL POLISH ORDER ARRIVED!! ^^

That means I have MORE colours to swatch for you guys 

and MORE designs to try out! 

There is also the fact that Chinese New Year is coming up!!

I've already got a few designs I'm planning on doing for the occasion!! XD

*excited*

Anywayzzz...I didn't want to go to Singapore with bare nails so I painted something I THOUGHT would last me the week...

it didn't even last 2 days in the end cause of my itchy fingers...=(

Decided to do a blue gradient! =)

Gradients usually last a long while because 

of the glitter unless you do it without glitter XD

I've done a red gradient before...

There it is! XD 

Nails were shorter then! 

Turned out pretty nice especially since I had the shades to do it! XD

Well! That's it for this post! MORE to come!! ^^

Cheers!

I got the idea from the poster!

The tree was so cute I couldn't resist!! 

Well this also counts as one of the 12 Days of X'Mas Manis!
