Jewel-toned

12:00 PM
Whenever I'm painting my own nails, there's only one thing I stay away from, and that's glitter. It takes forever to remove, so I prefer living without it. However, there are base coat options that take most of the pain away, if you're looking into it yourself.  But my usual sparkle-sensitive mind wanted a bit of shine this time, so I took out the foils and flakies I...

After Christmas

1:50 AM
The plan was to paint my nails before Christmas - that totally didn't happen. Heheh. My sis had a pile of wrapping paper on her desk after her meet up with her friends, and I reaaaaaally wanted this particular motif on my nails. So I did the thing. Swapped out the golden stars for golden dots instead. The entire nail art got way too...

I was looking for a little bit of calm before I went to sleep the other day, so I decided to paint my nails. I've got a bunch of polish I have yet to use on any design, so I decided to stay away from acrylic colours for this one.  Both colours are Essie, the blue is Truth or Flare, and the gold...

Yes so my left thumbnail broke badly from bowling some weeks back (no regrets), so now they're all short and neat. I think I'll round them for my next look. Wanted them square for now. The base colour's one that I had for...

Ayyyy it's been a while.  I had the idea for this look a couple of weeks back, and finally got around to painting them when I had a free moment. Right now, it's been a week since I painted them and my left thumb nail has since broken a few times. This means I'm gonna have to cut all my nails short soon! Not sure...

Let's cut to the chase! Here's the look:The base looks like a jelly nude shade, but it isn't. It's Butter London's Foundation Base Coat that Wendy got me for my birthday last year (thanks!). It's meant to be used as a base coat that adds a little of colour, so you'd need less coats of your actual base colour to achieve its true...

Valentine's

7:32 AM
Since the mirrored nails trend is dying down, I figured I'd try something a little different with this bunch of cellophane paper that I got from Daiso. The pack came with 7 pieces of cellophane of different colours, but the prettiest one was this shade of pink: Also, I shamelessly went outside to take a picture of my nails against the side of...
