Random nail art

Hello~^^ This mani is seriously a bit of this and that - I had no clue what I wanted when I started and...this was the result, lol.

I quite like how everything just fell into place, sometimes simplicity is the best <3. Shown is two coats of Sally Hansen Mosaic creme.

The polishes used:
Sally Hansen Mosaic creme
Glossyblossom Nail art two way striper in white
mwah Magnetic

Wedding nails

Hey all~ :D No, it wasn't me getting married, I was just attending a friend's wedding :P

The mani was inspired by Jasmine's over at Preposterously's Nail Blog. I had previously attempted this mani and failed miserably but I was adamant for it to work this time. I love how it's sparkly and blingy with the glitter but also not too eye catching and suitable for a wedding ^^

The following polishes were used:
Ulta3 antique copper
Color Club Magic attraction
L.A. Colors Sparkling diamonds
mwah Magnetic

Just fyi, Sparkling diamond is a PAIN to remove! Even with the foil method. Besides that though, I adored the mani <3.

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.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway here :).

Nail art #12

It's a wonder how simply dotting and striping can make a manicure look so much better. I was out of ideas for nail art but was in the mood for some, so what better than to combine the basics?

(I do apologise for the lack of clean up.)

Shown above is three coats of mwah's Thrillseeker. I then used Glossyblossom's nail art polish in White to paint the stripes and dots. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the outcome :).

I'll be returning to Uni soon so I don't know how much time I'll have from now on to spend on nail art. Hopefully this won't be my last for awhile still...

Thanks for dropping by!

Nail art #2 - Space inspired nails

Initially, I had intended to do a space-y sort of nail art. Except it kind of didn't work out the way I had wanted and so this is just simply 'space inspired gone wrong'.

Polishes used:

Black - Maybelline Dark Chocolate

Silver - Eclipse no.527

Glitter - mwah Magnetic

Hearts - Jordana Lilac Hearts

The glitter seemed a bit lonely on the black, so I decided to add some hearts to it. Error alert. Since when were there hearts floating around in space? :/ It did make the nail less boring, but the damage was done. I must invest in some star nail stickers.

Perhaps I should paint gold glitter onto my fourth finger instead next time.

I'm not terribly proud of my work, but eh. Lots of Uni work to catch up on now :(.

Thanks for dropping by.

Natural spring

Yay, I've finally done my nails again :D. It's been a disappointing week though. A couple of weeks ago, I discovered that my right thumb had a tear on the left side; and to make matters worse, it was towards the middle of my nail :(. After a week of carefully wrapping it in bandaides to avoid it being caught on anything, I finally gave up on waiting for it to grow out and filed my thumbnail down. They're currenly nubs, and at a rather peculiar shape too. *sigh*

Anyway, after almost a week of bare nails (I wanted to let them 'breathe' after three weeks worth of polishing) I could resist no longer and pulled out a pastel pink polish for my manicure. Unfortunately, this pink was the sheerest nail polish ever. Even after two thick coats and one thin coat, I still had VNL. In an attempt to cover it up, I pulled out my new silver glitter from Jay Jays called Magnetic and applied a glitter gradient.

(I do apologise for the lobster fingers, unfortunately this was the only photo which showed the polish shade the truest. )

I think after this I understand why I tend to stay away from pink polishes. I'm in no way a pink hater, in fact, I own many things which are pink, ranging from my clothes (lots of them!) to my wallet lol. Pink polishes just look horrible on me. Maybe I should just stick to my purples (love love LOVE ♥) and darker shades. Maybe...

Thanks for dropping by :).

A mini haul

I had initially promised myself to go on a polish ban, but that obviously failed. I just couldn't resist the sales :P. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to go out for a movie today...nahh XD.

With flash:

Without flash:

Top row: Sportsgirl's Galaxy
Bottom row: mwah's Mood, Devilish, Magnetic, Thrillseeker.

All Australian brands :). I'm most excited about Galaxy actually, because looking from the bottle, the shade seems almost like a vampy purple polish. It's high up on my list of 'potentials' for my next manicure! :D

Thanks for dropping by ^^.
