Bubble Trees

Hey all! 

Here's the continuation of yesterday's mani! 

I call them bubble trees!! The best part is that I have a picture tutorial for you guys so you can paint them yourself! This is probably my first time making a tutorial so bear with the bad photos and instructions! Here we go! 

1. Use Christmas colours (or any colour you like) using the Nimbus Bubbles technique (tutorial on The Nailasauraus)
2. Overlap lightning nail vinyls (i'm using ones from Teismom) with the lightning facing out until it forms a tree shape
3. Cut off the excess at the top until it is pointed
4. Paint over the sides of the vinyls, making sure that you do not get any polish on the middle and the bottom of the nail as there will be exposed areas
5. Remove the vinyls and apply your favourite top coat (I'm using Glisten & Glow HK Girl)

That's it! I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and I will see you soon! 

P/S: Don't forget to tag me @chronosz on instagram if you used the tutorial! 

Cheers! 

May You Have A Bubble Christmas!

Hey guys!

So I just finished Day 2 of Blogilates #Decemburn Calender! I have a love hate relationship with cardio...

Anyway! I decided to do something with my current mani but I shall leave it till tomorrow to show you guys that mani!

First, let me share my current mani. I tried out Nailasaurus's youtube tutorial on the nimbus bubbles technique. I definitely need more practice but practice makes perfect as they say.

Colours used:

White - OPI Alpine Snow
Red - OPI Big Apple Red
Green - Sally Hansen Emerald City

Look forward to the surprise tomorrow! 

Cheers!

Snow in Santorini

Hey all!

I've got a lot of swatches for you and I can't wait to share them! I'm still editing the photos so please be a little more patient k! :)

For now how about my NOTD featuring Miss Ashleighs new texture polish See You In Santorini! 

Some negative space and snow sounded really good so I painted it! I painted the snowflakes with white acrylic paint using a detailing brush from Faburnails and the negative space using nail vinyls from teismom! Do check them out! 

When I did the swatch for See You In Santorini, I liked it a lot better matted. In this mani, I matted the pointer finger.

What do you guys think? Matte or gloss?

That's it for this post! Stay tuned for the swatches!

Cheers!

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!

X'Mas '12 - A very Domo Christmas

Jingle bells~ Jingle bells~

Elo!! 

It's sounds like it's going to be a very merry Christmas!

You know why?

Because for the first time in my life, I'm going out for Christmas dinner with my boyfriend and friends! though it's a few days earlier 

Speak of the devil! 

I got the inspiration for this X'Mas mani from one of the girlfriends I'll be having dinner with! XD

You see rite...she was wearing this Domo t-shirt when we went out a while back then I kept staring at it for some reason then it finally hit me!! I should paint Domo Christmas nails!! XD 

So that's how this mani came to be! =D

Kinda failed on the floppy Christmas hats tho >< 

Oh well!! Domo is still Domo in the end and he is excited for X'Mas!! 

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!
