ぐでたま- Gudetama~

Hey all! こにちわ!

Now then! I'm quite excited to show you my latest mani which is Gudetama inspired! Just in case you don't know who or what is Gudetama - here's a short intro. 

(Photo source : mochimochiland.com)

Gudetama is one os Sanrio's latest character featuring a lazy egg. This is one of Sanrio's more comical than cute characters but is still super kawaii! 可愛いいい~ With his lazy face always on, Gudetama will teach you all the ways an egg can be lazy! 

Anywayz, I totally love Gudetama cause he's cute so cute! I'm very happy with how the design turned out and I must say this is one of my best detailed nail art to date! I love painting 2D characters! =D

Without further a do, I present my nails! 



Here's a close up of the individual nails. 






And here's a short picture tutorial for the gudetama hanging from the chopsticks. 





Colours used:

Base coat - Essence Ultra Strong Nail Hardener 
Base colour - OPI Alpine Snow & Pa 
Design - Acrylic Paint 
Top Coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl 
Gel Gudetama - Ace Gel 

I am attempting another 2D character next so look forward to that but I think I'll try and keep Gudetama on for as long as possible! 

That's all for this post! 
Cheers!

Bon Bon 37 & 38 Review

Hey guys! 

This is wayyyyy overdue but better late than never rite?! These two polishes are from my Japan Nail Polish Haul from a month back and they are Bon Bon polishes!! No...the bottles are not the shape of bon bons sadly...anyways! Here are the swatches.


From left: Bon Bon 38 & 37


Bon Bon 37 is a kiwi green pastel colour that is opaque in three to four coats. I quite like the colour when opaque and in hindsight, it might have been a better idea to paint it over a coat of white. As for application (applies for Bon Bon 38 also), it was extremely streaky...I had to get a gigantic dollop of polish to cover the nail evenly. Thank goodness it turned out nice and thin. 


Bon Bon 38 is a bright yellow pastel and I will never use it again! Why? It stains...really really REALLY bad! I would have to stay that it's in the same league with Sinful Colors Pistache... Mind you that I was wearing a clear gel base under the yellow and the difference of colour of my right and left hanf nails once removed was very apparent! 

My verdict for the polishes...2/5...they wasn't much choice where I went and worse yet that it stained my naila so badly...

That's it for this post! I hope it didn't disappoint you guys much...
Cheers!
