It’s not my cleanest work but ah well…my white polish insists on being pink and the Ciate Snowglobe glitter doesn’t show up well on photos. Anyhows, I opted for something really simple for my nails this week. Majulah Singapura!

Monarch Butterfly Wing Nails
Design by +cutepolish but I modified it. Instead of using textured nail polishes, I opted for 3 different smooth polishes – bright orange (Model’s own), pastel purple (Canmake) and dark pink (Innisfree).

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 of the week – Psychedelic Trees and Flowers
Yet another design by the super creative Robin Moses, I did a slight variation of hers but I still kept to the same colour palette. Main differences are that I have a purple glitter accent nail and I added mini crystals. My brush work definitely needs a lot more practice but I’m quite happy that...
