Halloween Challenge

Elo all!

So this year I have decided to yet again join another Halloween Challenge! Although...I am a couple of posts late =S

Here are the manis for the first 2 days!

Day 1 - Pumpkins
Day 3 - Skulls & Bones
(Photos at the bottom of the post)

The pumpkin nail art is inspired by Eva @coewless (instagram) from Coewless Nail Polish Blog She does really mind blowing nail arts! Love her!

The skulls and bones design was something I've been waiting to try for a while now. The base is my favourite black polish from the Faceshop and the design is drawn with acrylic paint.

My HK Girl Top Coat became gooey so I used my Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat instead. There was some serious shrinkage going on but I'll leave that for another post.

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

Stamping Fever!

Elo Elo!
I've been super into konad recently and my current fav is Bundle Monster's 'Create Your Own' Collection 2013 (CYO 2013).

Yeah! So those are the plates included in the collection. Who says that freestyle is the only way to go!

I used to be so against using konad since the first time I used it and it turned out to fugly! >< 

But after getting slightly better I wanna find more ways to create manis with them! 

Here are some of the mani I did with the CYO 2013. 

Really like the binary code mani! I really want proper konad polishes now tho. The normal nail polish doesn't stick as much and sometimes ends up super light.

Definitely going to try out more designs and never forgetting to do some freestyle! Venturing out into another style of nail art soon!

That's it for now!

Cheers! ^^

#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!

Nyannnnnnnnnnn

Hello nail art lovers! 
I am back in Melbourne and have access to ALL my polishes now! XD 
What is the first nail art that I did? 
If the title didn't give it away then the mani will do the thick! =P

My friend actually challenged me to do this mani! 
Then I went all Barney Stinson and said, "Challenge Accepted!"
LOL

This was a really fun mani to paint although I did get the proportions wrong again ><
That's it for this mani! Technically this isn't the mani I started the semester with. I painted my favorite Green Apple Mint from Essie topped with Nubar's Black Polkadots! 

Happy Back to School/Uni/College! 
Cheers!
^^ 




Here's the video for fun!! 

Slurrrrrrrp

Elo all! 
As I said in my last post, I am gonna show you my NOTD which has already been removed 

If you couldn't guess the design it's....VITAGEN!!

You gotta love Vitagen! Taste so good! 

My friend gave me the idea...he also gave me another idea which I have not attempted yet but will when I can! 

The shape of the bottle got more distorted the more I drew...=( ...I totally need more practice...

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

Better late then never 21st

Hey guys! 

If you follow my instagram @chronosz, then you'll know that I just had my 21st birthday on the 11th of November XD I didn't really know what to paint for my special day but I think anything would be good since no mani can express the happiness I felt that day =)

Happy 21st Birthday to me! 

XD

I've know for months now that I have so many pending manis to share with all you nail lovers and I always thought a post a day would do the trick but I don't think that'll work anymore so I'm just going to post as many as I want whenever I want! 

^^

Cheers! 

KONY 2012

Hi Everyone!!

From the title of the post you would have already guessed what I painted! XD

And NO! I did not paint KONY on my nails!! =P

Got the inspiration from the KONY 2012 posters on google!

Yeah...so I finally saw the viral video of KONY 2012 that's been going around and I was like "Wowwwww this guy is super good at making videos!! How did he do this effect??!!" I'm a mass comm student so I can't help but think this kind of thoughts =P I'm not really a KONY 2012 supporter and the more that I think about it...the only reason I painted KONY 2012 inspired nails was cause I was uber uninspired at the time and I just saw the video =)

This is one of the few intricate designs I've painted...I'm quite proud of it though I think the fourth nail design is kinda misshapen >< Oh well!!

On a different note...it was my nephew's full moon party last night...and I kinda partied too hard and my nail broke...=.="....the horror!!

 So this is what my nails look like now...

you soooo don't want to see my right hand ><

I won't be painting inspired nail art for a while since it sooo does not work when there's 1 nail shorter than the rest >< 

Please let my nails grow quickly ><

Cheers!

OPI Shimmers

Hey All!!

So here are some of the swatches from Nail Polish Spree 03!!

I actually ordered these for my friend...

OPI SHIMMERS!!!

I forgot to take photos of the individual bottles ><

I'll be swatching the first and fourth polishes!!

OPI Pink Before You Leap & OPI Animal-istic

OPI Animal-istic

This polish is orange red based shimmer polish. I'm not really one for shimmers and sad to say that this polish didn't make it on my favorite list...=( 

If it were just a red shimmer polish I might like it more but this has a strong orange feel to it and the shimmer doesn't stand out...=(

OPI Pink Before You Leap

This is a sheer peachy pink shimmer polish. I like this more than Animal-istic but shimmer seriously isn't my cup of tea =( I think this polish would be best layered on top of a more opaque colour. The swatch is 3 layers and you can still see my nail =( I tried matching it with some of my polishes but nothing looked nice hence no layered mani pics =( but I love the shimmer =)

I'll be posting the rest soon so sit tight! =)

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!
