Pardon the messiness of this as I had to use a sponge for the gradient shading and I took this photo before cleaning the sides up. I normally don’t bother cleaning the side bits up because after 1 day, it’ll naturally drop off due to all the washing of hands/shampooing of hair etc. This design...

Nails For The Week – Feathered Accent
I wanted something bright and simple but yet I still couldn’t get over how pretty the feathers turn out on the nails. Hence, I had a feathered accent nails, which I furthered highlighted with gold glitter polish. For the rest of the fingers, I used a bright orange by Model’s Own.

Easter themed nails
Good Friday to everyone! I got a bit lazy with my nails this week. I wanted to decorate the fingers with stripes and spots like my index finger (although the middle one was planned) but I was feeling impatient and didn’t want to wait for paint to dry. When people think of Easter, they always...

Nails for the week – 23 Feb 2014, Falling Glitter with Cross
Daiso has caused me to spend a lot of money. This time round, it’s yet another nail item. I spotted the gold nail stickers of crosses and Fleur de lis. Only S$2…couldn’t resist. So, I didn’t want any gothic nails so I decided to go with something rather simple. I used a heck of a...

2 Nail Designs In A Day
It first started with this: I was trying out something really bling and was a variation of a design that I saw in a magazine. Alas, there was a lot of bling and too little time. In other words, I didn’t wait long enough for the inner layers to dry before hopping off to the...

Nails for the week – Kitty Cat!
Decided to do something really cute after CNY and went for this Kitty design! The original by +elleandish // Janelle used grey for the cat, which I don’t have so I substituted it with brown. On hindsight, I should’ve used white for the eyes as well so that it’s more visible. Also, I should’ve used...
