It's the Great Pumpkin!

Hey Y'all! This is my last Halloween design I created for this year's series. =( This design is based on Charlie Brown's Halloween story It's the Great Pumpkin! I made a couple of holographic glitter mixes for the background. I made a green with the holographic that were Olive color and some chunky dark green glitter for the grass. I used light green & olive foil for the leaves. I made a blue holographic mix with the small blue hexagons for the sky. For this design I wanted to try some inlaid 3d acrylic sculpture to give some depth by making a few pumpkins & the moon. Hope you all like it!

The Grudge Acrylic Nail Art

Hey Y'all! This is my Halloween design based on the movie The Grudge. I made Kayako's eye embedded into my thumb and Toshio's face on my ring finger. To create the background I made a red & black glitter mix with red holographic, small red hexagons, small black hexagons & tiny black rectangles. I also added a few large black hexagons on all the finger except the thumb. Hope you all enjoy!

Ringu part 2

Hey Y'all! This is the 2nd Ring inspired design I created for Halloween. I decided to try making her coming out of the well!



I used the same products as part one of the design. Sorry this post is short! I have a few I want to add before the night is over. Have a safe & happy Halloween!

Nail art #18 - Can't breathe, like freeze...

Lots of ♥♥♥ to you if you get my post title :PPP. Lol I'm so sad, but this totally came to mind; oh Kpop ♥.

Anyway. Happy Halloween! :) I had meant to post a more halloween-esque manicure today, but I just had to try out the corset look after watching this video. I don't think mine came out as well though. Oh well :P.

I used Ulta3's Snazzle for this manicure and it is such a lovely silver foil. It's also not one of those extremely in your face silvers, so that just makes it all the more awesome. The black polish is from Maybelline Colorama's Dark Chocolate and Candy Apple for the red.

And here's a macro shot of Snazzle to show the foil.

NOTD: Bring it on + RAOK from my friend Jovis

Hi again,

i just remembered that i forgot to post this mani. i made it last Tuesday. the design was inspired by the movie Bring it On. well i love that movie a lot. whenever i got bored, i always find myself watching movies (which i already did watched before) and Bring it On is always a very good choice for me. i love cheerleading and dancing and stuffs like that. i'm really amaze by the stunts and routines that they do. i simply love cheering squads. well this design was from the first part of Bring it On. the team Toros and Clovers

not really good in free hand but i love it.

and also, later this afternoon, me and my Gorgeous friend, Jovis met at the mall. i gave her the LV decal that i bought last last week and in return she gave me a wonderful Pink Maybelline lipstick.

looks really chic and girly. so cute. thanks Jovis. so that's all for today

snacks instead of nail polish hauls

Hi everyone,

last Wednesday,  i was about to buy some new nail polish hauls. i found a bunch of nice and wonderful polishes but me and my boyfriend got hungry so we decided to eat first before buying the polishes. after eating, we went on the mall's supermarket to check if there is a "Tanduay Ice" (it is an alcoholic drink but the taste is more of like a soda) and guess what, i just found myself buying yummy snacks.

yummy yummy gummy bears =)

i love eating. and when i found my all time favorite candy, the Gummy Bears, i grabbed it w/o any hesitation well it's been a long time since i bought them. i miss eating gummy bears. but you know what? all those goodies costs 800 pesos. aww too bad i can't buy the polishes that i saw. anyway there's always a "Next Time" =)

Nail art #17 - A bit of this and that ♥

Heyyyy! I just heard from a friend that one of my assignments due next week has been extended to mid Novemeber so I'm celebrating by not working on it and blogging :P. I'm also on the road to recovery now so I felt up for a little nail art today :). Just something random I came up with since I was in a cheerful mood today.

I used two coats of China Glaze's Light as air for my first, fourth and fifth fingers as well as the leopard prints on my third finger. For the base on that finger, I applied two coats of Ulta3's Lily White. I used Maybelline's Dark Chocolate for the black line and and leopard prints. White stripes are done by using my Glossyblossom striper. Oh, the glitter is from mwah's Magnetic.

I'm really happy with this mani overall and I especially love how the leopard prints turned out. I can't believe how easy they are to do! More of them coming in the future now, haha :P.

Men Manicure

Not many men regard male manicure as an essential part of beauty grooming. But, if the modern man finds neat appearance and good looks important in his pursuit of success, then neat nails becomes inevitable.
In earlier days, women assessed men by the cleanliness of his shoes. Today, women like men who dress well and well-attended--men with clean hands and trimmed nails.
A good manicure will ensure that one's nails are clean, neat and trim. Here are easy at-home steps manicure to give nails a trimmed appearance.

Easy Do-It-Yourself Male Manicure

Before starting, make sure to get a Male Manicure Grooming Kit that contains nail brush, orange sticks, emery board, nail buffer, nail filer, and cuticle nipper including a fingernail clipper.
To prepare, cut nails using a fingernail clipper to ideal length then shape nails with an emery board. Remember to cut straight across. File away rough edges so the tips are smooth and round. Brush nails gently to remove dirt from underneath the nail tips, along the nail folds and across the nail plates.

My first Essie polish :)

I very rarely do fall severely sick, but it seems the weather's ability to be decisive has affected me (either be hot OR cold, darn it!). I didn't get to enjoy my weekend nor catchup on my last couple of assignments and I apologise in advance for the lack of updates that'll probably take place in the next couple of weeks on this blog. Life and such, you know?

Anyway, I did manage to try out my first bottle of Essie polish before I fell sick. Behold, Essie's Turquoise & Caicos

Please ignore the huge gap between the polish and my cuticles, the photo was taken on the fourth day. I can't say I'm overly impressed with the formula of the polish, it was a bit too runny for me and goodness, it required three coats and there's still some VNL. For the $10+ I paid for this, I had expected better. Still, the polish is a lovely turquoise colour and I'd definitely wear this again in the future - such a delightful spring shade :).

SMOKING KILLS!! and in time, you might surely suffer respiratory infections. so LESSEN or much better STOP smoking. love yourself don't wait until it's too late.

My work place, My nailart Station

Hi everyone,

i'm feeling fine now but i don't have time to do my nails today because of my classes. so i'll just share you my cute little work place where i spend most of my time doing nail arts. my room is really small (and so does my height lol!) but each of my things has it's own place. sometimes my room looks really untidy but then before going to bed i assure that everything is neat and clean.

so this is my work place. actually this was my study table and i usually put my laptop in this table but since laptops are portable, i usually surf, blog and play games on my bed. so i decided to use this table as my nail art station. it is quite small but i fit in. my hands are small and i am small too. lol!

that's me on the mirror. Oh, i placed that mirror in there because... i simply love mirrors =)

 Let's get closer, that's the left side to the center side of my station. i have my acrylic paints in there, my palette, the plastic thing that i use in making my self made stickers, my practice fingers, my nail decorations (such as rhinestones, glitters, uncut fimos, molded acrylics and stuffs like that) was placed on that transparent container thing, my brushes (nail art and acrylic brushes) and dotter tool, rhinestone picker, wooden stick and twizers are placed on the transparent little container that i filled in with shells as a support for them.

Let's get closer to the right side of my station. on the top i have my nail treatments and stuffs that i use for my home spa. the acetone that i used for cleaning my image plates, my power file and under it is my nail art stamping machine. on the green container i have my edge cutter (cutting acrylics and fake nails), nail file and buffer, scissors, nail glue and a glue that i use for sticking my fake nails on my practice fingers, cutter for my fimos, measuring spoon which i use for mixing acrylic powders and a foot file.

this is closer view (left side) of the above image. in here i have my acrylic liquid and powder. those powder on the small containers is my own mixed color. behind it was my acrylic molds and sponges. my cotton balls and pads and also my Q-tips has it's own container but i only filled it up when i'm about to do my nail arts.

this is the closer view (center part) of the above image. i have here my fimos, my nail art pen's (i have sally hansen and the faceshop nailart pen's in black and white), my nail art decals, stickers, stripping tape and nail forms. my 2 way nail art pen and brush. my fake nails (the brown container is also my fake nails), art deco nail art polish, my special polish for stamping, my primer, image plates, stamper and my scraper.

under my table is a cabinet where i place my nail polishes. i have local brands and also some branded ones. i sorted it out according to its color so that i can find it easily when i need to use them.

i don't really have a huge collection of my nail art stuffs. that's all that i have for now. but i'm still waiting for my aunt,which will visit us (she's from California) and will arrive here on Nov. 2, she bought me a bunch of new hauls and it'll be added up to my collection. well, that's it for now.

Thank you for reading

Nail art #16 - A sailor went to sea sea sea

In an attempt to reflect the sunny and warm days we had a couple of days ago, I tried my hand at some nautical themed nail art. I can't say I did  brilliantly though. Don't you just hate it when a beautifully planned out design in your head just doesn't translate onto your nails?

I applied two coats Savvy by DB's Cobalt and used Glossyblossom's nail art striper in White for the nail art. I made use of my rhinestones to form an anchor shape on my fourth finger and topped everything off with my Poshe top coat. I can't believe it streaked my stripes on my fifth finger! Oh Poshe :(.

I was alright with my result at first, but after looking at it the next morning, I began to dislike it. I don't even know why. -sigh- I really need to stop with the fail art and produce better nail art.

Love at 1st Bite

Hey Y'all! This is a vampy design I made for Halloween! Sexy Vampire mouth. =) This design is the 3rd in my Halloween series on my new nail art channel I named 3Dnailart. Please be sure to check it out & subscribe. That is where I have been uploading all my design and will upload to from here on out.

Anyway...onto what I used to make this design. I made an iridescent red glitter acrylic which I used as the pool of blood & drops on the tip. Then I filled the rest in with a black acrylic I made with mica powder from Coastal Scents mixed with black glitter. After I encapsulated the tip I made the vampire lips with red acrylic and the fangs with white.

Hope y'all like it!
