X'Mas Mani 04 - Sparkling Poinsettias

I know I was supposed to paint Nightmare before Christmas themed nails but I have to attend a relatives wedding tonight and skulls don't actually scream congratulations...=(

So instead of Jack Skellington, I opted for another X'Mas Mani!

Christmas Flowers! or Poinsettias!

I actually looked through a lot of photos of the actually flower and A LOT of tutorials to do the design! 

but i ended up experimenting with the design while I was painting the flowers so...

So all the flowers are different designs as you can see...
I'm quite disappointed with the colour combo but I did my best with them!!

Right hand has a posing problem


From the designs on my right hand you can tell which design I like best! ^^


One more X'Mas mani DOWN! 


What do you think about this mani though? TELL ME! ><


Cheers! 


See you in halloween town >=)

X'Mas Mani 03 - Hot X'Tree

I got invites to Hot Magazine's Christmas party held at Porto Romano!

As you can see from my previous posts that I like to paint my nails according to the event so....

Christmas Tree!!! 

with a side of ornaments and candy canes =D

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! 

Crossing it off the list! 

Christmas Tree

Till the next design! 

Cheers!

X'Mas Mani 02 - Sweet Candy Canes

Welcome back to X'Mas Manis!

This time I decided on candy canes!

I wish I had one now...

As you can see I did some water marbling for this design!

This is the second time I've attempted water marbling 

and am quite proud of myself right now =)

I got the idea after a friend of mine posted 

a tutorial by cutepolish on my facebook!

I thought candy canes were the perfect excuse to do it 

but it didn't come out as I wanted but still AWESOME! XD

I painted a coat of OPI's Alpine Snow on all my nails beforehand.

I used Sally Hansen's Emerald Green and Elianto's Chili Red to do the marbling.

For the other nails, I painted a coat of Sasatine's G683 for the x'mas glitter! 

Then I painted the stripes using the same colours for the marbling!

I had to do the marbling a few times before I got a pattern I liked! 

Marbling is hard...I guess that means I need more practice! =P

What design shall I attempt next?

Keep following and find out!

Cheers!

X'Mas Mani 01 - Snowflakes & GIfts

and golden ribbons on the rest! =)

For the 12 days of X'mas~

I saw this post on tumblr a couple of weeks ago...

I really want to do this! 

The list is already on my sidebar so you can keep track of 
what I've already done

and what I'll be doing!

The first mani will be posted later tonight!

So look forward to it! ^^

Kiwi Green

I had an interview today to be a brand ambassador and one of the brands was

SALLY HANSEN!

So I especially used Sally Hansen for this mani! 

Say Hello to Kiwi Nails!! XD

The only Sally Hansen polishes I had were green...

I used Sally Hansen's Green with Envy for the base. 

You can see the swatches here.

The white is OPI's Alpine Snow. The darker green colour beneath the black polish is Sally Hansen's Emerald City and I used OPI's I Only Date Werewolves.

I actually got the idea for this from a post in tumblr...

After google-ing the photo I found that the original post is from cutepolish.

You can check out her Kiwi blog post or 

check out her tutorial on how to paint it!

I did mine a bit differently but it managed to look kiwi enough 

for my friends and family! ^^

I'll be attempting the 12 days of X'Mas Challenge 

so look out for X'Mas manis!!

Cheers!

Music, Piano, The Orchestra

My brother took my parents and I to watch the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra today! 

sorry about the glare >< 

I was going to draw instruments but I was too tired so I opted for piano keys! =)
I'll still do the instrument mani though! 
*adds to To-Do- List*

I used OPI Alpine Snow for the base colour then I painted a layer of glitter on it...
The glitter isn't obvious in the photo...I applied it to make the nice shiny surface of the keys! XD

The glitter is from Etude House's Nymph Aura Collection! =)
Then I used OPI I Only Date Werewolves to paint the notes and keys! XD

Simple but still awesome! XD

Shall be doing Kiwi nails soon for my interview on Wednesday!

SO STAY TUNED!

Cheers!
