Classy French Tips - Minty-fied!

Hi Guys!

Here's my NOTD (Nails of the day) featuring a classy mint lace french tips.

I'm not the type that really likes french tips especially since my nail beds are so incredibly short but this mani is so YES! Plus who would say no to lace and mint?!?

Shorter nail beds = Longer french tips

Anyway, here are the colours I used for the mani.

Base coat - Essence Ultra Strong Nail Hardener
Mint - Miss Ashleigh Experi-mint
Black - Mundodeunas Stamping Polish
Top Coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl
Nail Vinyls - Teismom

That's it for this post!
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!

Cheers for now!

Catching my Breath for Valentines

You know...

I really wonder what you guys a.k.a my readers think about my oh so corny blog titles!?

Want to know the reason for todays cheesy title?

Well even if you don't, I'm still gonna tell you! XD

'Catching my Breath' is because I was listening to Kelly Clarkson's song at the time and the 'Valentines' is because I'm gonna show you a Valentines design! 

I know I know! 

I haven't been posting so often and more seldom than ever...

Sighhhhhh gonna be flying back to Aussie soon so I'm trying to fit in as much friend, family and boyfie time as I can...I'll probably be back to blogging regularly back in Aussie since I'm so free XD

Anywayz...this is my NOTD a.k.a Nails of the Day!

Yes! This is from my instagram! 

Do follow me at @chronosz if you have one! ^^

I painted this for a wedding and thought plain french would be boring thus added the hearts for a Valentine's day effect! 

I wonder when I'm gonna do a Chinese New Year design...it's the year of the snake and me has no inspiration =S

Oh well!

I'm sure it'll come to me! XD

Cheers!

X'Mas '12 - Prezzies

Hey nail art lovers! ^^

Are you all done with your Christmas shopping yet?

I bet you aren't!! =P

Do you wrap your presents in bright green wrapping paper and tie it with a bright red ribbon? Maybe some of you do and some of you don't. 

Christmas colours are definitely red and green to me. 

Classic never gets old. How ironic.

Here's my Prezzie mani.

I really like this mani! 

I wish I would get a Christmas present wrapped like this XD

Wouldn't it be awesome?! 

Somehow...these days...I've been thinking of doing manis for other people but so far I've only done manis for friends and family. The main reason I don't what to do it to strangers is because I usually take a long time to paint depending on the design. Wouldn't it be so embarrassing to make your customer sit for like 4 hours straight while I paint her nails? Doing my own nails is one thing since I actually enjoy it but sitting down and doing nothing is just frustrating >< 

Sorry about the small rant peeps.

Needed the let out! 

^^

Happy Holidays All!

Cheers!

^^

P/S: Just in case you guys didn't know, I started making accessories and are selling them on etsy.com. XD If you haven't heard of etsy well I suggest you go to www.etsy.com right NOW! =D

Here's one my best sellers!

Antique Silver Infinity Pluggy w/o Chain

One of my buyers told me that she bought this for her best friend as a Christmas present!

I was so happy when she shared it with me though the reason she started a convo with me in the first place was because her package hadn't arrived yet. In the end, the package was at the post office waiting to be collected =P 

If you guys haven't found a present yet for anyone.

If anyone at all, then how about this?

It makes me happy when you guys and everyone else out there likes my nail art designs and the accessories that I make!

X'Mas '12 - A Sweet Candy Cane Christmas

What pops into your head when someone says Christmas?

Presents?

Toys?

Santa?

How about candy canes!!

Christmas is just not complete unless you have had a candy cane! 

I remember this one Christmas when my aunt brought home a gigantic candy cane for me and it took me months to finish it! MONTHS!! It was THAT big >< 

Here's a candy cane mani that's a bit too big! 

^^

Not sure if you guys can tell from the pics but I used wayyyyyyy too many layers of polish for this mani although it looks like a pretty normal french mani...it has 15 layers of polish ><

Why 15?

It's because I was really excited on trying out the jelly mani thing since I got a set of OPI mini NYC Ballet Petites and it ended up like that...

In the end, I could actually peel them off my nail completely intact as it was!

=P

I forgot to take a pic of them tho ><

Oh well!

So as a reminder to you! Go get some candy canes and share them around!

Cheers!

Roses never get old~

I got this design from a girl on instagram!

@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!!

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!

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!

Watermelon anyone?

There was watermelon at home so I guess I got kinda inspired =P

I haven't tried watermelon nails before so I experimented a bit =)

I'm starting to really like taking my nails from this angle!

This was my first design...the fimos didn't stick well >< 

Some fell out when I was asleep and I had to stick others on to replace them =(

The seeds were a challenge for me since blacks didn't really look like seeds...

I didn't know where to position them either =S

All in all it came out well XD

I took this right after I painted them...

Not so clear when I take the photo under my table lamp =(

This is under sunlight...

As usual my right hand has posing issues! >=/

This the second design I did...I think the plain watermelon skin nails are nice...

but the sliced watermelon design looks kinda weird to me =S

This is it for this post!

Tell me which design you prefer! XD

Cheers!
