Awesome blogs~

Found these 2 blogs while hanging around at others nail blogs and they are really awesome~! ^^

The first one is * Cynful Nails * . It's interesting about the name cause her name is Cynthia and so she change 'sinful' to 'Cynful'.
She's from Singapore and she is a home based nail 'stylist' 'designer' 'artist' ? someone let me know what's the word for it, hee... -.-"'

I got to say i love love love all the pattern she creates with tons of ribbons hearts and full with glitter though i've mention i don't like pink, but for hers it does make my wanna go for pink!
Also for the pedi, now i got somewhere to get inspiration~ hehe... ^^v




The next blog is Mitsue with her * Mini Nail Blog * . She's japanese but currently living at Australia. The way she types is very kawaii and i'm wondering how old is she..

She also owns a web site called * Create Magical Nails * showing lessons and designs. I've been watching YouTube clips to learn everything about nails but her blogs did a good job in explaning different kinds of mani steps by steps, with caring little tips~^^



And by reading their blogs make me even 'exhausted' to try acrylic nails! but sadly i haven seen any stores selling acrylic stuff here. ><


Haih.. :'{

Blue and white~

Ok, the nail stickers is not really working to me, 2 of it peels off a lil bit the next morning, maybe the top coat didn't stick well, can't stand cause it keeps coming out half way so i tear it out.. T.T
So.... just did another one and luckily the line is still steady so get to upload on time..


Like the few post ago i use nail polish to draw on plastice bag and wait for it to dry, then stick on my nails.. i only remember to take photo after i take some white ones out, hehe...


2 coats of dark sparkle blue on each nails except ring finger, leave it for white polish..


After they are dried, apply clear polish on the place you wanna stick the pattern on,
black pattern on white nail and white pattern on dark blue ones..

I added dots on tips like french nail..


And oh ya, the pattern i draw is from what i've drawn few weeks ago..
I place the plastic bag on the drawing and kinda follow some of the pattern..



Product used:
*TheFaceShop base coat
*Elianto White 02

*Elianto Twillight zone40
*SkinFood Pedicure sparkle 05
*Konad Top coat

Bling bling sticker nails~

I'm having flu currently and it makes me feel dizzy and sleepy the whole day, i don't really have mood to think of designs so i thought i'd try out this nail stickers. i bought it quite some time ago cause i've seen a lot of these in night market here and it's cheap, but haven got the feeling putting it on cause it makes me feels like i'm 'faking' on doing nail art..



I decided to stick the bottom design one, as that is the only design i like from the entire bunch of these stickers and in this set too, lol..


Clean your nails,
measure the sticker with your nails,
cut out the exceed part on the edges according to the length of your nails,
apply a clear coat and stick it onto your nail when the polish is almost dry to let it stick better to your nails..
last, apply one more layer of clear polish or top coat to protect the stickers..

It only comes with 1size of sticker for each finger, see my thumb one? there's plenty of gap even though i tried to even up both side's space on each nails cause my nail plate is slightly bigger than the sticker, hope it make sense, haha..


Since this is the first time i try on this sticker thingy, i will see how long can it last on my nails..



I like the bling bling silver glitter the most, tehee...
Flu flu faster go away, i don't wanna keep sleeping nap-ing, what a waste of time.. -.-"'

Greeny orange~

Separate nails into 2 parts horizontally, 2 coats of green sparkle on the upper one..


apply orange sparkle on the bottom part,
then add a line of silver glitter in between of the 2 colors..


Next while waiting for the polish to dry, take a olive polish and draw some curve lines on a plastic bag and wait to dry..

Tried to use this same method on hard plastic box with acrylic paint before but didn't really success cause acrylic sticks stronger on plastic than nail polish so it's hard to take it out..
At the end i just took out 1 from the plastic box but it's spoilt , the rest are still there.. XP

Then saw video clips from Tanja using this way to do nails too and make me wanna try it again, and yeah~ Bingo~ tehee...

Use tweezers to take the polish up from plastic bag..


apply coat of clear polish on the nail
then continue using the tweezers or orange stick to stick it on the nail..


Added some glitter also..
top coat then done~


Product used:
*no-brand dark green sparkle
*TheFaceShop Twinkle orange
*Silver glitter thin tips polish
*SkinFood pedicure sparkle 02
*Artpac white nylon series no.1
*plastic bag



And ya, i like Tanja's video~ :)

Olive-m71 on toes~

Tehee, my toe nails on my blog, though not the 1st time (at the other blog of mine~) but still feel very shy to show them... >v< My 'naked' toe nails.. XP



After base coat follow by 2 coats of olive green polish by Skin Food..


wait till the 2 coats is dried, stamp this m71 image with black sparkle polish..


top coat and done~
Feel weird to see my toes like this... lol..




Product used:
*TheFaceShop base coat
*SkinFood Pedicure sparkle 02
*SkinFood BW701
*Konad top coat


i just started to paint my toe nails 2 month ago cause i usually only wear sneaker or shoes that wouldn't show my toes but i think it's time to give it a try..
Normally i'll keep polish on toe nails longer than fingers', around 1 week i guess cause it can stay longer than on finger..

Plain black sparkle~

Was having problem on uploading photos last night so can only make it today..

This was the black sparkle i bought few days ago from Skin Food and im so excited to wear it after i remove the previous one..


Product used:
*TheFaceShop base coat
*Skin Food BW701
*Revlon double twist base & top coat

Decided not to add any pattern on it to let it stands out by its own, tehee...
This is also been ages i leave plain polish like this, cause i always thinks they should be fun and creative by making new designs...




Does anyone knows how to prevent nail polish away from bubble after applying them on nails?
I always face this problem and could not find a solution... ><
I try stop shaking the bottle, apply thin layers by layers as i always apply 1 thick coat of polish to save time waiting it to dry, but still the bubbles come out, why..............

My fakies thumb last week cause it peel off a lot i have to cut it short to prevent from peeling again, but make the skin around pain, so stick the fakies on to protect it..



Wanted to do pedi tonight but seems that i let my toe nails cover with polish too long, so decided to leave it for few days first... :)
