A New Phase in Life

Hey guys,

Good news! I got a new job! :)

I did not plan this mani but it fit in the sense that it was finally time to spread my wings.

Colours Used:

Base Coat | Essence Ultra Strong Nail Hardener
Teal | Pa A72
Glitter | Etude House
Gold - China Glaze Passion
Black - Acrylic Paint / Laval
Top Coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

A not so white mani for the White Night!

Hey guys!

Apparently yesterday, February 23, 2013 was Melbourne's first Nuit Blanche a.k.a White Night!! 

I totally did not know it existed and probably wouldn't have known that it was going on if I didn't have plans to yum cha with my friend. 

Melbourne CBD is CROWDED!!!

and I mean 

CROWDED!!!!

I have never seen so many people in the city before! 

It felt like the Connaught Pasar Malam cause it was so packed.

=P

My NOTD yesterday.

I thought I would try the Burberry design!
It turned out really messy in the end ><

Darn it! 

Back to White Night!

Here are some pics! 

^^

There were laser shows on a lot of old buildings! 

It was so awesome!! 

XD

Cheers!!

X'Mas '12 - Santa Claus is coming to town~

HoHoHo!!

Merry Christ...oops a little too early huh XP

Oh well!

As promised, here comes a Christmas mani! XD

Santa Claus is coming to town~~~tonight~~~ 

Santa nails is what I have on my nails now XD

I kinda made the belt a little too big thus only 2 button on his coat. LOL 

I think the gold sash and the initials on the buckle give it a nice touch no? 

Here's one mani! 

Keep an eye out on the others!

Cheers!

Roses never get old~

Hello All!!

^^

Rose designs never get old...don't you think so?

I got this design from a girl on instagram!

Go check her designs out if you have the app!

@thedarylyn

The pics with the '@chronosz' watermark can all be found on my instagram! =)

I had a lot of fun with this mani! 

Roses are just plain cool to paint on you nails!! XD

Oh! I'm really into yellow now! Totally love using my Chinaglaze Happy-Go-Lucky polish! 

^^

On a different note!

I did this mani when I was just too plain lazy to draw nail art =P 

Matte chrome silver french tips! ^^

That's all for now! 

Stay tuned for more!!
Cheers!!

Dye It Right

Hey All!! 

Sorry I haven't been updating and all but I had a lot to do and I was recently in a traffic accident so...do forgive me ><


So! I did this mani a while ago...probably a week ago =P

So this is my left hand...I used Color Combo's CBL104 a.k.a. white polish as the base and stamped 4 different colours on top! ^^ It kinda looked like a 'dyed T-shirt'...ya know...the ones where you take a plain white T and dip it in cloth dye to form a pattern on the shirt XD Hence the title! =P

This is obviously my right hand...I didn't want to do the same colour and pattern so opted for green and yellow stripes...in a way =P


This actually all started because I wanted to try out this stamping technique this korean nail blogger uses...again...i lost the link to her blog cause my lappie crashed on me...AGAIN!!! sighhh i'll TRY to remember to save the link the next time I find it....sighhhhh
anyway...so she uses a 'i think' NOT cosmetic sponge cause you can see the texture in her photo tutorials and it soooo does not look the same as mine ><


I usually use cosmetic sponges and it sometimes peels off when it's too wet and the texture changes thus changing the pattern of the polish when I stamp it on my nails >< So...what I did was went out and looked for a relatively HARD sponge and I found one! I really wanted to try it out!!

Check out my sponge and nails when I was doing the stamping XD

Messy eh...well...nothing a little cleaning can' fix XD 


Hope you liked this somewhat tutorial/advice/nail art post! XD
Cheers!

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!

^^

French Apples

Apples!!

So apple manis have been on my 'To-Do List' for quite some time now...

I was actually planning on doing a french hello kitty mani but...

My alpine snow is like 1/4 of the bottle and it's all goopy...

I already ordered a new bottle but it didn't make the latest shipment so I gotta wait ANOTHER MONTH!! T____T 
A nail polish addict should always have white polish at hand! ><

So...I chose to do a mani that doesn't have that much white in it! =)

I actually found the inspiration from this korean nail blogger...her designs are AWESOME!!

After google-ing somemore I found another apple nail art design by 'chelle from cosmeticcupcake.com

After finding her blog...I am IN LOVE! Her designs are AWESOME!!! XD

I guess not having white polish came in handy 
since I found a really cool nail blogger! =D

I hope you like this mani cause I'm thinking of doing more fruit manis!! 

^^

Cheers!

Valentines Blues

Hey everyone...

I know I'm a day late for Valentines but I've got an excuse!

I had the flu on Valentines Day! 

T_______T

I did this mani with a fever so please excuse the plain ugliness ><"

My friend gave me the idea with stick people 

connected by the red thread of fate! =)

I really love my thumb nail since there are a lot of rhinestones on it! ^^

So...since I was sick and still am...=(

I spent Valentines Day at home...sleeping...with a fever...

OH! On a different note!! 

I am now a Yuberactive Brands Knight! XD

I got the news the night before Valentines!
I'm so excited!! I get to represent brands like Rimmel and SALLY HANSEN!!

Can I just say that for a nail blogger...getting free nail polish is...THE BOMB!! 

But I don't really know what it's gonna be like to be a brands knight till I actually 

go for the briefing and stuff so....EXCITED!!!! ^^

That's it for now! Please let me get well soon! ><

Cheers!

I Would Cut My Heart Out For You~

I know how cheesy the title to this post is...=.="...I think so too..

but I thought it would fit this mani LOL

Sorry for the recent no posts but I'm thinking of doing a few Valentines designs

so they'll be more to update! XD

I so wish I had a nail wheel so it would be easier ><

but I don't know where to get one in KL and I don't have paypal so can't ebay it =(

Anywayz...ON TO THE MANI!!

I wonder if I should have made the lines thinner...?

I like this design very much =)
As the title of the post goes~

"I would cut my heart out for you"

I especially like the heart and the scissors! XD

Happy early Valentines to all you love birds out there!!

^^

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!

Sleepy~~

This is one of the manis on my 'to-do list' =D

I really wanted to do this mani because i like the 

sleeping Zzzz you always see in cartoons! XD

As for inspiration, I googled of course! ^^

This is my inspiration~~

And here are my nails!! 

A sleepy girl and flower wallpaper

I painted dark blue flowers at first but it didn't seem right to me 

so I painted white highlights onto them! XD

My friend says it looks like pajamas =P

A closer look at the girl!

I really enjoy drawing cartoons now! =)

Check one of the to-do list! XD

Cheers!

X'Mas Mani 08 - A Christmas Carol

In my previous post, I mentioned that I had already painted 

'Dickens Christmas Carol' themed nails.

HERE THEY ARE! ^^

I got the inspiration from the 2009 Disney's A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey!

I think the Ghost of Christmas Future is wrong though..=(

Looks more like Assassin Creed to me ><

I tried my best. Nothing else to be done. =)

Cheers!

& Happy Holidays!
