To Nude: ILY

From: Black

HeHe^^

I was trying to be creative with the title and intro....you didn't get it did you! =P

Translation = I really think nude colours and black polish should just get married cause they compliment each other so well!! XD

So...I decided to try out a tape mani as well as needle dragging with these 2 colours! =)

It looks really messy eh! >< but that's how I started off =S

I used the giant rhinestones my bro gave me but I don't think they are suited for nails >< I had to do some patch work after I took the tape off since I had to paint a couple of layers of the nude polish to make it opaque but it came pretty well don't you think so! ^^ I wished I had made the lines evener tho =P

So this is my right hand and as you can see I decided to try needle dragging out! I think the only kinda successful one that came out is the pointer finger... Probably because I used 2 different brands of black polish and I used an orange stick instead of a needle to do it! XP

I'm quite happy with the final results!! 

I tend to paint both my hands nowadays! ^^

Feeling super proud of myself at the moment! =P

That's it for this post and I'll have good news to share with you guys soon!! 

Cheers!

Back To School

Hi Everyone!!!

So...it's 1.45AM now so technically my first day of class was yesterday!! =P

If you guys didn't already know but I like painting my nails to occasions so for the start of the new semester...I painted converse shoes on my nails!! ^^ 

Most students own a pair of converse shoes or something of a similar style and I've been wanting to do this design for a while now since it's just 
SUPER COOL!! XD

I googled for some designs and decided on this! It kinda looks weird since my nails are square and shoes are usually rounded!! =P
 I sooooo love pastel colours!! 8D

Start of the sem!! Shall promise to constantly update CRNailz!! =)

Cheers!!

GLEE Inspired

Hey GLEE lovers!!
So...I recently watched GLEE!! 

It was the BEST episode so far!!

It was all about not giving in to bullying and peer pressure and suicide is never the answer to ones problem! The song!! Super inspirational!! 

So this mani is inspired by their regional outfits! =)

THE RESULT!!

Red, Gold, Black and Silver...

GREAT COMBO!!

^^

I am proud to say that I am a really big 

GLEEK!!

GLEE to me is a very inspirational show that combines the happenings of high school, society and music! =) I have cried, laughed and shown so many different kinds of expressions while watching GLEE and I can say that I DO relate to the characters in GLEE! =)

Now...I can say that...

I HAVE CHANGED!

in a very good way! 

=)

Sorry to bomb you guys with this emotional stuff but I just had to share it since it is sort of a turning point in my life and I'm glad that it finally came! =)

Here's a song to commemorate this joyous mani!

Glad You Came by The Warblers!!

Cheers!

Nail Biters Corner #03

Ello All!!

So this is the THIRD 'Nail Biters Corner' post!! 

^^

I don't know if this applies to all nail biters but since I started biting my nails from a young age... my nails are uber thin now...
probably cause it didn't really get to grow properly for a long time. 

Some nail bloggers encourage filing the whole nail to remove dirt and leftover polish and natural oils rite but I don't do that...
not that I DON'T...I actually CAN'T file my nails... 

The last time I filed my nail was when I got caught by this guy in a shopping mall trying to sell his homemade cuticle oil...he also wanted to sell me this mani pedi set so he just grabbed my hand and started filing my nail...=.=...WORST MISTAKE EVER!! A week later that nail he filed... BROKE!! really deep at that...all the non-filed nails were fine... 
that's how thin my nails are! ><

This was taken with my phone so please excuse the bad quality ><
It broke really deep in a you can see...='(

I haven't found anything to make my nails thicker and I'm not sure there is such a thing but I found the second best thing!

OPI Nail Envy! 

I heard of Nail Envy from a friend when I started doing nail art and at the time my nails were not only thin but peeling too >< My thumbs were always the worst! It would peel from the corners and get snagged on every little thing!! 

When I finally decided to get nail envy I honestly had to think really hard since I didn't know there were more than ONE type of nail envy till I checked the website...=S

The first nail envy I got was Maintenance Nail Envy. 

I chose this type because it was the latest one at the time and the description held some promise but it didn't really work out for me...=(

Of course I used up the whole bottle before getting a new one...
waste not want not ya know!

The next nail envy I got was Matte Nail Envy! 

The time that I ordered that type I still had a lot of hope for Maintenance Nail Envy and wanted my dad to use it and since it would be matte he wouldn't mind it so much but he didn't try it in the end. Matte Nail Envy had the same formula as Original Nail Envy with the only different that it dried matte...
well...not really XD

My third and current nail envy is Soft & Thin Nail Envy!

I just love this polish! Not only are my nails stronger now but they stopped peeling! My thumb nails are especially thankful! I guess you have to get the nail envy that's suited for your current nail situation! ^^

But...for an ex-nail biter when one problem is solved 
there is yet another problem to face..

I'll get to that in the next post of 'Nail Biters Corner'!

>.^

Cheers!

Purple Madness

HARLOOOOOO

So it's 2.40AM in KL so I'm kinda hyper a little...

Anywayzzz...I painted my friend Melanie's nails for her earlier and it was a super purple mani since she couldn't decide on a design and colour!! XD

This is the result of that! 

I'm actually quite satisfied with it! It was based from a design I did before! XD

It's supposed to be leopard and zebra print just in case you didn't know...=P

I was also trying out the silver art pen I bought from faceshop and I LOVE IT!!

I shall do a review on it in another post oh! and it gave me a reason to use my purple rhinestones too! The rhinestones on her fourth nail is kinda senget crooked since I was painting her nails from an awkward direction =P and I was using seche vite to stick them on so they stuck on really fast so I couldn't really adjust them...hmmph!

Ya know what...I was transferring the pics of the polish swatches and designs I did while my photoshop was on the fritz from my camera to my lappie and... THERE'S A LOT!! ><

Gonna be posting a lot so....YEAH!! ^^

Nail Biters Corner #03 is coming soon too so sit tight!! 

Cheers!

OPI Shimmers

Hey All!!

So here are some of the swatches from Nail Polish Spree 03!!

I actually ordered these for my friend...

OPI SHIMMERS!!!

I forgot to take photos of the individual bottles ><

I'll be swatching the first and fourth polishes!!

OPI Pink Before You Leap & OPI Animal-istic

OPI Animal-istic

This polish is orange red based shimmer polish. I'm not really one for shimmers and sad to say that this polish didn't make it on my favorite list...=( 

If it were just a red shimmer polish I might like it more but this has a strong orange feel to it and the shimmer doesn't stand out...=(

OPI Pink Before You Leap

This is a sheer peachy pink shimmer polish. I like this more than Animal-istic but shimmer seriously isn't my cup of tea =( I think this polish would be best layered on top of a more opaque colour. The swatch is 3 layers and you can still see my nail =( I tried matching it with some of my polishes but nothing looked nice hence no layered mani pics =( but I love the shimmer =)

I'll be posting the rest soon so sit tight! =)

Cheers!

Wedding not wedding inspired

HiHi^^

Sorry for the long non-posts session but my photoshop was on the fritz ><

I couldn't watermark my photos =( 

It's fixed now! XD So back to blogging!!

I guess you're probably waiting for a wedding inspired nail design because of the title but did you read it carefully? It says NOT wedding inspired =P

OK! Enough with the shenanigans!!

ON TO THE PICS!!

So...what I meant by 'wedding not wedding inspired' was...

 THIS!!

This was the door gift at my cousin's wedding =)

I put off doing this design for a month+ LOL 

I mixed a shimmer and glitter polish get that colour 

but I think it would have been nicer with gold khrome polish =S 

now you know why I want China Glaze 2030

I really love rhinestones right now!! ><

Anyone know where to buy or order studs from in Malaysia??

That's it for this post!!

Since my photoshop is up and running again the swatches

Cheers!
