#Nailartsep 26 - Water colour/Water marbling

Me again! 

More of @californails #nailartsep challenge on Instagram!

For the 26th, the theme was water colour and there is a nail art technique to create a beautiful water colour effect on your nails which I tried out of course.

I did a trial run before painting the actual mani which ended in DISASTER.

Didn't get the chance to take a photo of it but you wouldn't want to see it anyway...you would go blind...*just kidding* XD

I followed this Youtube tute for the water colour effect!

Maybe you guys would get a better result than I did!

Getting back onto the challenge!

Since the water colour did not work I decided to do some water marbling =)

Like a lot of others, my first time water marbling was HORRIBLE!

This is probably my fourth or fifth time doing it and I think I've improved a lot.

I still need to find out how to get a nice pattern onto my nail though XD

Here's what I got.

I am obviously still in love with this polish but on the other hand, my choice of colours was seriously BAD! I don't think the colours gelled at all! The middle finger would be the best among the lot. 

That's it for this post!

More to come!
Cheers!

#Nailartsep 22 - Nature

Hey guys...

I feel like *flip table*-ing on myself! 

I wrote on instagram that I would post this the day after challenge but no such thing...

I can't really recall why the mani is so bad, I know there were multiple things going wrong the day before thus the horrible effort nature mani. 

Yeah...so obviously I am still experimenting with the konad plates.

FYI! I received my parcel from Bundle Monster and am in LOVE with the patterns! ^^

I think among all the nails, the little finger looks the most presentable.

I wish that I could finish all my assignments so that I could concentrate on nail art but that's just me dreaming! Another 3 more weeks and another life challenge is waiting for me after that! Nail art will forever be my salvation from the hardships of life. Although, you can tell what kind of mood I'm in from the details of the mani! =P

Anywayz, I am 3 posts late with @californails #nailartsep challenge so I better get to blogging!

Cheers!

Sinful Colors Pistache Swatch

Hey strangers! 
Here's another swatch for you.
I bought this the same time as the Sally Hansen Wool Knot polish. 
I love Sinful Colors!
Kinda because it's cheap and the colours are nice ^^
Anywayz...

The name of the polish 'Pistache' is quite fitting. 
It's the perfect shade of a pistachio! =P
I really love this colour.
Like all other Sinful Colors polishes, it takes a couple of layers for a nice opaque coat.

HOWEVER!
I sadly must inform you that this polish 
STAINS!
BAD! 

Was super shocked when I removed this,
I had to look at it from different angles to see whether I was imagining it or not...TT
This is what it looked like after I removed it.

Not really clear in the photo but I assure you it is quite bad...
So paint this polish at your own risk! 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

3D Dots

Hello all!

Wonder when the last time blogged was? I thought I would mix it up a bit and put everything on the left! XD 

Anywayz, I saw this cool mani on @slacquerr on instagram and tried it out for myself! 

She called them 3D Dots so I shall just go with it! XD 

It looks nice yeah? Feel like experimenting with it a little.

Hopefully it turns out well! ^^

If any of you want to paint this, it's really simple!

1. Paint a base colour of your choice.

2. Use your dotting tool to make blacks dots.

3. Use the same size dotting tool to dot white onto the black dots at an angle, leaving a little of the black dot visible. (This creates a 3D effect)

4. Finally, top it off with a top coat of your choosing! (I like Seche Vite FYI) 

And that's how you do it! 

Hope you guys will have fun with this mani as I did! 

Cheers! 

^^

P/S: I really like how this post came out...I might stick to this format! XD 

Funky lonely leopard

Yo!

I was supposed to post this yesterday but I had a headache and couldn't do it =S

Anyway...my parents left for Malaysia yesterday and me ish all alonezzz in Aussie land...

Class hasn't even started yet so I have even more time than usual thus more blogging XD

So here's the NOTD

The colour in the pic is a bit off because of the lighting but it's actually Sinful Colors - Easy Going...it's supposed to be a light violet pink...the leopard came out pretty well though ^^

I painted this after my parents left and I had nothing else to do...

Thinking whether should I paint my nails everyday or not but if I do then my nails suffer and I don't want that...

First world nail dilemmas...sighhhhhh

That's it for this post! 

Check ya guys out later!! 

Cheers!
