What a Teese!


So tonight...I'm going to see Dita von Teese!!! I'm SO excited- I've wanted to see her act for YEARS! Today's manicure was inspired by the Fashion Against AIDS! Tshirt that she designed for H&M a while back...



It kinda reminds me a little bit of Patrick Nagel's art, with the dark brows, white skin, etc.



I used OPI Alpine Snow Matte as a base, with American Apparel Hassid for the black and China Glaze Salsa for the lips and lip print on the thumb. Sealed it with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Burlesque!!!!! YES!!!

China Glaze - LOL

Hi everyone! It's friday again! I'm really looking forward to this weekend, it's Easter! Do you have any plans?

Perhaps you've noticed: I filed my nails down a bit. It wasn't really on purpose though! Haha. They will grow.

When I showed you China Glaze's DV8 the other day I mentioned LOL too. LOL is a gorgeous purple holographic polish, from the same collection as DV8: the OMG collection. I don't wear this one as often as I'd like, because of my issues with its application. Applying LOL is really something I loathe, they should've called this one PITA, nothing to LOL about I'd say. Major cuticle drag. I find I don't have this issue when I skip base coat, not really an option for me but it may work for others! It is totally opaque in 2 coats though, and the color IS stunning, I'll give 'm that.

It is one of those holographics that look really dull in normal lighting, I don't need my holos to be in your face, but a subtle rainbow makes me happy any day. So if you really like your holo to be holo, LOL is not for you.

So what do you think of this polish? If you happen to own it too, please share your opinions with me?

Flaming O's


Hey all!! Hope that this Friday finds you well! :) Today's nail design came to me through an after-dream haze as I was waking up this morning. I have absolutely NO idea what put it in my head, but it came out and colored my nails. :-P No complaints, they make me chuckle- flamingo lawn ornaments! lol



I used Orly Snowcone as a base, with Massini Power Pack for the Flamingos, American Apparel Manila and American Apparel Hassid for the beaks, American Apparel Hassid for the eyes, and 'legs'. For the shadow on the body, I used a mix of the Massini Power Pack and Color Club Ms. Socialite. For the grass, I used Nubar Forest for the background grass, and Green Scene for the foreground grass. Topped it off with two lovely coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Breath of spring

Hello my Sweet nail Art Lovers.
I called this manicure "A breath of Spring" because even that it is gray, it still look a lot like spring to me.
I know my writing kind of suck last several months, but i am doing so much writing for my final paper that my mind just go wiped to write something for blog. Pictures are more important, right? Who even reads all the crap that i am writing :D

SPRING CREATIONS

On these nails I was going for a layered 3d look. First I embedded gems into the acrylic. Then I also used an impression tool to make big purple circles. When I was finished filing I added 3d lavender acrylic dots and used polish to paint black dots.



On these nails the stars are temporary tattoos. I want to let all of my clients know that I bought a bunch of temporary tattoos that I am very anxious to use so watch out! Temporary tattoo nail art to be cont.....

This is a real 3D dried flower.


Assault & Battery


Today's post is my first tutorial!!! YAYYYYY!! Everyone asked for one, and this is for you!! Today's NAILS were inspired by the batteries I just bought for my clock. :-D Enjoy!!



I used American Apparel Hassid as a base, with Milani Sassy Brassy for the tops, and Sally Hansen All the White Stuff for the lettering. Topped it off with Seche Vite top coat.

More bridal nails...

2 sets of bridal nails with flowers and crystals. One of gel, another acrylic.

The most common question would always be: Which is better? Gel or acrylic? My answer: Both are equally good, except that they are of different texture and the method of extending them is slightly different. Variety of colours are also different. And all these explain why I would always advise which is more suitable only after you have chosen your nail design. Ultimately, my job is to make your nails last as long as possible with minimal or without colour chipping, crystals dropping etc. :)


Champagne glitter gel and white flowers with a tinge of yellow.


You can't really see the champagne glitter in the picture but it does sparkle like mad in real, and thus making this set of nails really pretty and bridal!


Clear pink glitter acrylic nails with simple flowers and tons of blings of different sizes. This set looks really sweet and glittery in real cos of the clear pink glitter base.


I hope you girls can see the pink glitter more clearly here. :)
