Pink and girly!

Other than bridal nails, I also did quite a bit of fun designs.


Baby pink with black hearts, lace, polka dots and finally pink n white bows! Other than the embossed bows, the decos are all embedded within the gel. ;)
Design from Nail Max.


Pink leopard prints inlays! Can you see the glitter? Hehe. I have the prints in black as well.


And this is the design I love most! I also gotta love her nail bed size cos they are wide enough to create this lovely design. Heh. ;D

SPREE 2 CLOSED

Hey Lovely Ladies!!

Due to the overwhelming response at Singapore Poly's nail art event, I won't be able to take in anymore orders for Spree 2 as I'm closing tonight. Hope to open spree 3 soon! Stay tuned!

Some polishes should just be left alone....

Now, I know it's not normal for me to NOT do some kind of nail art, but this polish doesn't need it. Okay, so as you may know, Sally Hansens Prisms are some of my fave polishes EVER! Oh how I wish these would be re-released :(  I have managed to collect quit a few this past year, all from eBay, lol. Oh and thanks to Kris from the Lucid Bubble, for her post on this. Once I saw it, I had to add it to my Prisms collection.
This one is just as beautiful as the others. Can you see all the colors!! Do I really need to say more about this one?? I'll just let the pics do all the talking. This is 1 coat of Sally Hansen Lilac Aqua over Orly Purple Velvet.

How Konad killed my mani....

**EDIT** I just wanted to let you all know, I have added a 'FAQ' tab up above, under the header

So I invisioned this mani looking WAY differently in my head, lol. Which happens quit often. This is one of those times that the Konad just took it to a whole new level, and not a good one. For this mani I used Sinful Easy Going, Orly Purple Fusion, Sally Hansen Pink Petal and scotch tape. I just love this, before the Konad.
Oh well, I'm always up to try things. Here it is, after the mani killer was added!


This was how I started. I used Sinful's Easy Going


Then taped it off, and added Sally Hansens Pink Petal


Then to finish of the pink gradient, I used Orly Purple Fusion



Now for the stripes. I used Bundle Monster plate BM20 and Konad's special polish in Black.



After each layer, I used a coat of SV, Seche Vite. This helps the layers dry quicker, so it doesn't take too long.

Hey everyone!!! So you want a tutorial video??????

I want to say thank you to an amazing beauty blogger on YouTube, Brooke, from sayanythingbr00ke. This morning I noticed some new followers, and I wanted to say welcome!!! Well, I checked to see where they came from, and to my surprise, YouTube!! Now, I know a lot of you have asked for tutorial videos, but I have yet to do one, so here you go! Brooke posted this amazing tutorial video. Check it out here. The tutorial she gives you is for this mani I did. I just wanted to share, since some of you have asked for a video tut. Hope you enjoy, and BONUS, she's amazing at makeup too, not fair, lol. Although I've mastered lip gloss, lol. To those of you who have come to find me from her YouTube video, I know you've already seen this, but I just had to share with my other followers. Thanks again Brooke, you did an amazing job!

Black Swan movie night mani....

My girlfriend and I went to see Black Swan Friday night, and I of course wanted to do a mani that was related. I didn't have much time, so this is what I came up with. All I used was Sinful's Black on black and China Glaze White on White and scotch tape. I was going for feathers on the accent finger, but couldn't come up with a quick way, so this is my modern interpretation of it, lol.

By the way...Black Swan was awesome!!! It was very intense, and it was done so well.

REDtro


First off, I want to thank everyone for all of your amazing comments and emails. I was kind of worried posting that letter, because I wasn't sure how it would be received. However, your replies just confirmed what intelligent, caring, compassionate, awesome people you all are!

Anyway, that said, here's the nails! :)

I love retro fabrics, prints, colors, etc. Today, when I was looking at the local antique store after lunch, I came across some really awesome vintage fabrics, and today's nail design was inspired by one of them! I didn't buy it, but I did end up buying a cute leather 70s handbag for $15. WOO!


I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with Essie Alligator Purse and American Apparel Hassid for the design. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
