#Nailartsep 26 - Water colour/Water marbling

Me again! 

More of @californails #nailartsep challenge on Instagram!

For the 26th, the theme was water colour and there is a nail art technique to create a beautiful water colour effect on your nails which I tried out of course.

I did a trial run before painting the actual mani which ended in DISASTER.

Didn't get the chance to take a photo of it but you wouldn't want to see it anyway...you would go blind...*just kidding* XD

I followed this Youtube tute for the water colour effect!

Maybe you guys would get a better result than I did!

Getting back onto the challenge!

Since the water colour did not work I decided to do some water marbling =)

Like a lot of others, my first time water marbling was HORRIBLE!

This is probably my fourth or fifth time doing it and I think I've improved a lot.

I still need to find out how to get a nice pattern onto my nail though XD

Here's what I got.

I am obviously still in love with this polish but on the other hand, my choice of colours was seriously BAD! I don't think the colours gelled at all! The middle finger would be the best among the lot. 

That's it for this post!

More to come!
Cheers!

#Nailartsep 22 - Nature

Hey guys...

I feel like *flip table*-ing on myself! 

I wrote on instagram that I would post this the day after challenge but no such thing...

I can't really recall why the mani is so bad, I know there were multiple things going wrong the day before thus the horrible effort nature mani. 

Yeah...so obviously I am still experimenting with the konad plates.

FYI! I received my parcel from Bundle Monster and am in LOVE with the patterns! ^^

I think among all the nails, the little finger looks the most presentable.

I wish that I could finish all my assignments so that I could concentrate on nail art but that's just me dreaming! Another 3 more weeks and another life challenge is waiting for me after that! Nail art will forever be my salvation from the hardships of life. Although, you can tell what kind of mood I'm in from the details of the mani! =P

Anywayz, I am 3 posts late with @californails #nailartsep challenge so I better get to blogging!

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!

Miss Ashleigh Thermal Polish Kryptonite Swatch

I've got a good one for you guys! 

Remember Miss Ashleigh's Thermal Polish Thermal Polish Supernova?

Yup! This awesome thermal polish chocked full of glitter!

Well! I got another one from her recently!

Kryptonite!

From the name, one can already tell that the polish is green in colour.

Unless you haven't heard of Superman

Like all Miss Ashleigh polishes, you get a beautiful opaque shade with 2 layers. 

It doesn't chip as fast as other nail polish and it's healthier than other store bought polishes. 

Enough talk! Here comes the photos!

Kryptonite is a green based polish with a slight shimmer. It is dark green when cold and bright green when hot. As usual, my body temperature is so hot that I usually get a nice french looking mani as can be seen on the bottom left of the collage above. French mani in bottle! Cool rite! XD 

I was also playing around with studs since I haven't used them much and this is what came out of it!

Seriously amazing how I can have so many different types of manis with one polish!

I absolutely love it! I could stare at my nails all day and I did!

Check out her polishes at

Cheers for now!

#Nailartsep 19 - Feathers

'Even though it hurts, I can't slow down

Walls are closing in and I hit the ground

Whispers of tomorrow echo in my mind

Just one last time~~~'

Sorry for the singing hello but I'm seriously addicted to David Guetta's song Just One Last Time at the moment. Oh yes and I am late once again with posting. Gonna get hectic with the end of my final semester but I'll pull through. I CAN and I WILL!

For the 19th of September, the theme was feathers. 

I did a really nice feather design before coupled with a dream catcher...I think...It was so hard to find the photo in my phone gallery!

Remembering that mani kinda made my head swell and in the end was wayyyyyyy too confident with drawing the feathers and it ended up super crappy. =(

The final result!

 As you can see, I am still super curious about konad. There was a feather design on one of the plates so tried it out. Was going for a 'leaves falling in Autumn' kind of feel. The colour was so light that you can't really see the feathers but it's the better compared to the free hand feathers. The yellow feather is the worst! It looks like a durian now...

I realize that I am getting very lazy in my designs. I have to admit that assignments are piling up but nail art is way for me to relax. Doesn't really help when the design comes out bad but @californails nail art challenge gives me something to paint. If I had to think of my own themes to paint then I think I would be stressed out of my mind by now! 

A lot more posts are coming your way people! 

Get prepared!

Cheers!

#Nailartsep 16 - Fav. Flower

Hello all!

Today is Malaysia Day and I'm a Malaysian NOT in Malaysia...

Oh well!

So for @californails #nailartsep Day 16, the theme is my favorite flower. 

And what is my favorite flower?

It is...

A SUNFLOWER!

This................ISN'T 

my favorite mani and I have to say that I am so sad for my favorite flower for painting it so badly...=(

I used China Glaze Happy-Go-Lucky for the flowers with was sunny enough but it was really hard to tell where the petals ended. So, I used China Glaze Solar Power which is a darker gold shimmer polish to outline the petals which did not work so well. =(

It became worse when I added the gold stud...

I outlined the petals with black polish this the morning after just to see if this would look better. 

I could only do one nail since I had to rush for class. 

I do think that it looks so much better after the black outline was added.

I think the yellow only petals would work with acrylic which I wish I have but don't. ><

I guess that's it for this post! 

Can't wait to do the next theme!

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!
