First set of nails for the week! I let my nails rest over the first week of 2015 because I haven’t really been doing so. For this design, I used Ciate’s Pepperminty as the base and for the 1st stamp, I used white nail polish on Konad stamp m60 (criss cross) followed by black nail...

New Year Nails – Glitter and Shooting ‘Stars’
It’s going to be 2015 and to celebrate that fact, my nails for this week are extra bling bling! I used OPI’s “Shine For Me” on my thumb, index and pinky and in 3 coats so that it’s opaque. If you do not want to put on so many coats (removing glitter can be a...

3rd Christmas Themed Nails for 2014 – Tree, Present & Bauble
Was inspired by 3 different nail designs by others and decided to do a combination of what I liked into this week’s design. As the base, I used Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel ‘Birthday Suit 110’ for 8 fingers. Thumb: use 2 pieces of tape to tape up a triangle. I then painted on Sally Hansen...

To me, this adds in another dimension of texture and contrast while being relatively simple and classy. So for the above, I used:Ciate PeppermintInnisfree ...

Limited Edition Hello Kitty 40th Anniversary Nail Haul
I really shouldn’t. But I did. I couldn’t resist buying this limited edition Hello Kitty 40th Anniversary nail set (S$40) when I went to Sephora after work. I had an extra 20% discount thanks to my Black Sephora card, which really helped to push me into grabbing this for myself. Although I went into Sephora...

Blue & White China Nails
I decided to try out this design which kinda reminds me of Blue and White porcelain. My colleague asked me whether I used correction fluid to draw the design, to which I gave her this expression: (-_-). The answer is NO. I used a white nail art pen from The FaceShop, which is really one...
