Heheeeee I got to do Shelley's nails again! This time it's in anticipation of Christmas, and it's made to match designs on a typical festive sweater. All colours were drawn using acrylic on OPI's Alpine Snow. Halfway through the design we both realised that sweater designs were a lot like aztec ones... Except for the odd reindeer bust. If you want to recreate...

This is another manicure I did for the new Christmas temp at work, Wan En! She's adorbs and so she got a design that matched. The base was incidentally the same mint that I used on Janice's manicure ; it's Michelle Nail Colour in D16. It's not the true mint colour that matches Cath Kidston exactly, but it came very close.  And here's...

Alrighty school's out, no more excuses. I've got 3 manicures to show you this week, and they'll be posted at intervals all through this week. For the week after, I plan to review a few Born Pretty Store products that they've so graciously provided to me. Right now I can't seem to capture the colour of the polish well on camera, so I'll...

I didn't expect this manicure to look festive, but it kinda does, oddly. For this mani, I used a jelly white base (OPI's Funny Bunny) which I had lying around for the longest time but could never find a use for it. Till now, that is. I only used 2 coats for the design, so it's not entirely opaque. Gives it a bit...

So this is a new thing I'd like to do.. There are some things I'd love to mention, but I'm worried it would make my nail art posts too long. So instead, I've made a new section to talk about trends and things that's happening in the nail art scene. Before I sound too legit for my liking, bear in mind that I'm...

Man, I've missed you guys. Since I don't understand the concept of free time any more, I'm going to challenge myself to blog once a week again (crazy, I know!). If I don't have time to do my nails, I'll be talking about manicures out there that I'm crazy about. The list is exhaustive, so I figured it wouldn't be hard to start.....

Blogging on the bus again! It's been near impossible to rest this week, but thankfully I still found time to paint my nails. About 2 weeks ago, we had a product trainer from LUSH UK by the name of Katie. She's gorgeous, inspiring, and driven - frankly it was mesmerizing to meet her. Apart from all the goodies we got (fresh from the...

I almost refuse to say Happy Birthday Singapore because of reasons, so therefore I wish you a Happy National Day! I'm really only mildly patriotic; I love my country but I'm not one to go all out. Although, I'm in the bus to work right now wearing red and white (it's the work attire today, alright?!). Since I'm on an iPhone 5 right...

I know I've prolly said this before on my blog, but I do miss painting my nails. My hands seem to shake more these days, maybe it's because it's been so long since I've painted. To challenge myself, I wanted to paint the most intricate rose I possibly could - and here's the result: I'm going to be keeping these for a week,...

YES HELLO I HAVE MISSED BEING ON HERE. I love skipping base colours. It makes me take more care of my nails because they'll have to look healthy under the design that goes on top. I'm jumping right in to this post hahaha. There was no prior planning for this design, I just wanted something remotely lace-like, that wouldn't require a base colour,...

I couldn't find my camera for the past 3 days, and I was getting ready for the worst when I realized my sis is on a project which requires her to take pictures - so the camera was with her this whole time. Silly me. I thought I'd lost it in the mountain of mess that is my work table. Seriously, it's embarrassing...

When I posted about being available for manicures on Instagram, I had no idea how fully booked my week would be. At most, I was expecting a few good friends to get their nails done, but as of right now, I have 7 girls booked over 4 days, and 1 more settling on a time slot. On top of that, I'll be working...
