Colours Used:

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

That's it for this post!

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.

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!

Pokemon Fever

Hey all!

Haven't edited the latest mani but watch out for it on my instagram @chronosz

In the meantime, remember my Easter Togepi nails? 

Well, I didn't stop at just togepi and I've been meaning to do a pokemon mani for quite some time. If some of you don't remember easter togepi, here's a photo for you guys! 

The second pokemon I painted was Pikachu! Chuuuuuuu~~~~

All the designs are done using acrylic paint and I usually paint a layer of white to make the colours of the design pop. The trouble with acrylic paint is that sometimes, it needs a thick layer to get full coverage and poor pikachu succumbed to this disease. It was the only pokemon that was lumpy. *cries in a corner*

On the other hand! I tried painting pokemon so that's an accomplishment. The third pocket monster I painted was Bulbasaur! Bulba!!!! Truthfully, I always pick bulbasaur as my primary pokemon cause nature power man and he's so cute! Bulbasaur came out pretty nicely and is one of my favourites although I did make his bulb a little too big. I really need to work on my dimensions. 

The last pokemon was supposed to be Charmander but it didn't work out and I didn't like what I painted so Charmander is not in the photo. *You have failed to capture charmander*

Back to the drawing board with that one but oh well, at least I tried. Maybe I should just have a collage of failed designs...nahhhhhh

That's it for this post! 
Cheers!

Have An Easter Togepi!

Hi all! 

Happy Early Easter! I actually had the urge to paint pokemon since I haven't attempted it before and since Easter is coming...how about a cute egg pokemon?! 😆

Please welcome to the blog - Easter Togepi! 

I'm actually quite impressed with the overall result considering that I haven't painted free hand for a while. 

Colours Used :

Base | Gelist Clear Gel Base, Pa 
White | OPI
Other colours | Acrylic Paint 

I shall attempt to paint other pokemons soon! 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

Happy St Patty's Day!

Hi guys! 

I'm finally back from Japan and coincidentally I'm just in time for St Patty's Day!

I couldn't wait to start using my new polishes I got from Japan! These are the colours I used:

Yellow - Bon Bon
Green - Bon Bon
Clover - Sally Hansen
Glitter - Pa
Top Coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl
Base Coat - Essie Nail Hardener 
Gel Base - Gelist Clear Base 

Yes...I started using gel! I'm quite happy with the gel since it makes my nail hard and strong. I'm still looking for a new brand of nail polish remover and a place that sells 100% pure acetone...

Look forward to my nail haul from Japan! I'm so excited and you should be too! 

That's it for this post! 
Cheers!
