december nails

some of the work i did for myself and customer last month!

p/s* i'm loving my life my job and happy new year to every loved ones! :)

turqoise french

I'm so far so good on my new job and working life of not sleeping and waking up early, how about you?

So i think my company is fine with nail polish, that means i *finger cross* can change my painting as often as i can like how it use to be~ but i guess i will still remain it at once a week -- i need more time to be on bed now. >< getting elder.. :(

Back to the topic, french~ <3

Got this new color from Elianto few days ago, love it but too bad it doesnt suit my skin tone. >< it made my finger looks grey and dark, but i still love it, how?! 

So in stead of making it full, i cut it down to french which the color stays far from my skin (hope you get that..) and added some konad on the lines in nude..

acrylic rose from nails to watch now <3

Nice or not?!

tehee, blinged my watch as you can see from previous post, and i dont feel satisfied yet. so the ending was, more bling~! haha...

i hope the stones stay. :p

11.45pm over here, got to go~ sleeping early with 8hours made my skin condition better now, love~ :p

See ya^^

Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day to single ones couple ones available one not available one or even it's complicated one~ ♥

To be honest i have no idea at all what to do for this love love day, but i found this design from Nevertoomuchglotter's blog post very familiar to my 3D rose french last year, so i thought i could redo it again.. :p

Elianto Thistle35

Long time no step by step photos, but forgive me for the not-so-nice lighting today, it's already late night when i finish this mani..

zzZ..

Light purple as base.. (and the color makes me hand looks yellowish and darker, grrhh..)

Nature Republic GR603

Cover the tips randomly with mint color polish.

till this step it looks a bit like strawberry, hehe...

Next just outline (i use dotting tool) the mint into abstract roses shapes (mine failed, lol), top coat it and you're done~ fast and easy!

Once again, Happy tine tine day with your loves one~ 
^^ /

and i shall go date my bed now, kekeke..

Dior Vernis 467

It's time to drop the anchor~!

Because i have no idea how should i name this design.. lolx..



Hey sailors~ ^^/
Weather's been quite cool lately, make me lazy to get out of bed.. @v@
but too bad i have to, cause it's study week now! which means my exam is getting nearer.. :(

Anyhoo, let's talk about nails first, haha...


You probably get the idea from the previous picture..
paint your nails french and entire nails as your preference or go on randomly..
I'm using blue and white, but there's other color for nautical so you can choose what you like..




Next draw thin lines at the outline of the french with the 'opposite' color ( for white base use blue, white for blue base), but i don't have much patient that day so i grab my black thin tip brush to replace blue.. :p



Finish up with thicker 'lines' after the thin lines..




for the ring finger, let's add a cute anchor! ^^
you can use stones, or purely nail polish to dot it or draw it out, but for my level of polish drawing, i still prefer to use beads, haha..



Seal with top coat and you're done~~ ^^v

i think i'm gonna do all the design in it until i get another copy of nail magazine.. lolx..

Ok, back to study! >v<

Sneak a pee poo~ 0005

Nautical shall we? ^^

sweety white polka~

Ello guys~ ^^ hehe, just realized i have not been updating for 10days! >v<>

So i finally took off the fakies and my nails is 'crunchy and crispy' after frequent filing and sometimes removing 3D acrylic or stones peels off few layers of my nails too. i'm gonna chop them all short shortly, but at the mean while since i barely succeed to keep my nails long, i decided to do some nail art for long nails. :)



Inspiration taken from July's Nail Up.



Start with white polish as base...
I dont understand why bubble always like to visit my nails?! ><
amazing thing is that they will turn to bigger bubble after a day or two. ggrrhhh...



I dont have big flakes as shown in the mag, so i replace with what i have.
mix gold and bronze flake to stick on with dotting tools, but too bad not much difference they all looks like gold color.



pick few nails that you would like to draw the bow. you can stick stones or acrylic, but i want something simple and fast, so i use silver thin tip brush to outline the bow, then fill in the space with pastel color polish..



done~! ^^

***

Anyway, did this design before the white polka, but thinks it's not really to my style and not cute or sweet or cool enough so i remove it right after i finish doing it. :p


Do stay toon will update again tomorrow~ ^^/

Bronzygolden bling & Stones in garden

Hey everyone! Sorry for keep you all waiting, here comes my sparkle shimmer blingblingbling nails in 2 different designs~ ^^

#1
Am still wearing my fakies since they are still sticking nicely..
This 1st design is more 'low-profile' and simple but still having the bling-ness at the same time..


The base is actually nude color from the fakies' french.
Added a layer of silver shimmer gradient.
Used bronze and gold flakes in between the nude and gradient..






Idea and inspiration taken from Cynful Nail's blog.
Credit to her chrome stars inlays post..

#2
And here comes the Japanese style's bling! hahaha...



Hehe, got a lot of praise from friends and tutors on both designs, so proud of myself, but who knows they are both so easy and fast?! lolx..



ok, ignore me.
stop praising yourself Rachel........... >v<


Using the same silver shimmer polish like the #1 one but on the entire nails.
Then stick on stones, beads and the flowers as your preference..



This time taken the idea from Cynful Nail's pink florals acrylic post..

***

And since the lighting and feeling is so right that evening, took more photos of the 'background' decoration, haha..
These are actually my ear rings, background 'image' is my denim dress^^





And how's my new header? ^^
edited the blog template to match with it as well, as the previous orange flake light bg doesn't go well with blue header.. :p

Till next time! everyone be safe and take care~^^

pastel french nails~

Hi there~ ( ^^)/ i'm back again~hehe..

This time, pastel french with black base, an modified design i saw from Wan's blog on the post about Dolly wink's new polishes..



First i started with black polish as base..



Then pastel peach orange with curve shown in the picture as french..


1 big dot of same pastel polish on the middle, and 2tiny one on each side..
Cute not??? ^^

Oh by the way the background was actually my new top i got from online shopping, it's a white T with leopard face on it. but the leopard looks a bit emo rather than fierce, lolx..




Ok, actually i just got my nails painted with another design and i can't wait to share it up!
But since i have no class tomorrow and assignments decided to release me for few days from it, so, i shall not stuck too many nails of mine to you guys 1st, hehe...

Night and Ohayo~~~!! (^^)/

Pastel french~

I'm so sorry for not updating~!! ><

Been busy with my animation assignment till no day no night, sleeping had been upside down "everywhere", wake up in the afternoon and start working, dig myself in Adobe Flash till the next morning, sleep, wake up at noon again.. @@ reason being is midnight is always the best time to concentrate and that's when the internet line is the smoothest so i can download or search for any references i want.. :)

So end up Rachel has pretty panda eyes with huge pores on my face.. >v<

But guess what? i've been praised by lecturer on my effort in front of the class, hehe...

I have to admit i'm kinda nail polish addicted lately. Since i got not much time for leisure activities, i have to cut off the time of doing manicure as well. But the thing is, i can't stand staring on my naked nails for more than half a day. =.="

So to have something fast and simple, i decided to take out all my pastel creamy polishes and do a colourful french nails~^^

Ok just a short post. Most probably new updates tomorrow after class~

A very good morning and sleep tight sweet dream to everyone.. :)

Muacks^^

Flowery lace~

Tadaa~~~ Sorry for keeping you all waiting, shall i present to you my dearest friend Amelia's mani from me mE ME~~~ ^^ lolx..

Ahem, i apologies that i didn't snap nice photo for whole set of nails, this is so far the only one that looks better, but taken before we completed the 'look', haha..

Konad m71 with dark purple,

And how could we miss out my cute 3D roses~?!

(ah, getting more 'proud' of my creation, lolx...)

She came out with this pretty idea and me to 'illustrate' it onto her nails, haha..

So who's next??? XP

** Ok this is my last set of manicure to post before i remove what i'm wearing now, so, till then dont miss me so much~ haha..

Sneak a peek poo~ 0002
