Some toe nail-art

My friend Lena have visited me today, and certainly i did some design on her toe nail, since her job require her not have anything on her finger nails.
This is what i came up with.
In the beginning idea was different, but she is a very picky "client" , she like things to be done her way, so i had to find a compromise. But in reward she broth me some dry flowers and other decoration stuff.


Polishes used for gradation.

Gradation nails ( by hands)

As i bet any of you i have quite a collection of polishes , with the bad level opacity.Those are type of polishes that takes more then 2 layers to get any solid color, but even fter hours of drying all those tons of layers you still can see what is going on under the polish .
Now here is a bright idea how to tern whose whose useless polishes into the powerful nail-art tool.Those polishes are just perfect to do the graduation on your nails, so i hope you didn't throw all of them away.
I played a little with this idea and here are some result.




You can easily create the graduation by following those steps:
1. Find the right polish, it must be very transparent, polishes without glitter or chips works the best.
2. Put the really thick layer of the transparent polish on the entire nail, and let it dry just a litle
3.Put the next layer on the 1/2 of nail, starting from the middle and going up, let it dry just a little again.
3. Put the 3 layer of polish on the 1/3 nail.
4. The best result you get if you use a glitter top coat, however you can use a regular one too.
As a top coat i used the one i have got from Brook "Colorama top coat" by maybelline

Checkereds - HOT!

Ooooo! Hot hot checkered nails! Chose this design from nailmax and modified it till it doesn't look like the chosen design anymore! Hehehe. Almost died doing the fine lines and all but this beauty is all worth it! Love you babe - for trusting your nails to me and being so chatty and nice!



Looks slightly punk/gothic/casino-ish/schoolgirl...etc!
You know, I was having doubts bout how design would turn out while I was painting it... cos it started off looking like an indonesia flag, then table cloth (I'm not kidding cos she thought so too! haha), then... bit by bit.. they turn out really pretty!


Her idea of adding black bows to complete the whole look.
Am loving this and every moment of creating it! :)

Extension & Nailart - about SGD185

Gel marbellising with red and pink

Just did this set of gel nails today using Christrio Gelacquer. Marbellising with a bright pink and a light pink color. The more I look at this set of nails, the more it grows on me. I kinda like it! It's very subtle and it looks like some kind of art on your fingers! :)

Simple mess

Oh yeah! i am almost back on the stamping marker.
As you may mentioned from the pictures here, i used to have a stamping kit, but left it in russia , because my friend wanted it so bad, so i decided that i may get another one here. But, you know all this economy stuff.. so haven't got one yet, but i was struggling so much without it. i mean no creativity can really replace good old stamping, especially when you ahve so little time for nails.
So yetoday my second excitement was gettign a new stmping kit.
I have got a chep one from e-bay, and i am not recomending it at all, plates are so poor, and polishes dont work at all, very transperent, you cant see it on any color. And moreover the colors i have got are not the colors i inteneted to have according to the sellers picture. But on the other hand it worth trying,m because it only was like 5 buks.




But where is another one comming. With more plates and polishes, so i will only keep stamp and scraper from this one.
I wanted to see if this cheap one will work, so i can tell my friends get it or not.
Since polishes wont work, i used regular polish and surprizingly it worked pretty good.
So here is my pink mess.

Thank you, Brook

Hi dear flowers!
Yesterday i have got a package from broke bacon , she sent me a lot of useful stuff and i am really really happy. You guys, seriousness cant even imaging how excited i was to open and try it all.
So i ahve got - 2 Wonderful top coats with glitter effect - i just love it!!! Mirrow shine 2 polishes kit - havent try it yet, but i am sure it is going to be a lot of fun, Evening base coat, ton of orange sticks, Beautiful dark polish with boobs :) , polar block and gorgeouse souvenir from VEGAS!!!
Broke - thank you so much!!!! You gave me so many positive emotions and i am sure that it all will comme back to you.
And thank you so much for you time to send it all, and that you like the nails, and for everything.

random!

Went for my primary school class gathering earlier! It's funny! 9 of us turned up and we had a cosy dinner... It's really funny! After 12 yrs!

Bf came, picked me up, went chijmes and watched soccer. I'm a HUGE FAN of LIVERPOOL! It's in the family..... don't ask me why! No Liverpool match today, but we watched Fulham and Man U! The match was really exciting and it made me scream and screech! hahahhaa!

**************

Nowadays, my mind is like filled with all kinds of nails designs.. I think I'm obsessed! How??

I'm really happy with what I'm doing now! It's my passion and I'm loving it every single day. Yes, I do get tired when I see too much of nails and all, but I don't complain anymore. I used to complain when I was working in the office, but now, no more.

Sometimes I get really nice customers, sometimes I get normal customers.. And I appreciate the thank youS and smiles that I get from you people.

Sometimes, people do take a little for granted the fact that I'm a home salon.

All I can say is, thank you for all the love you guys have shown!

***********************

And to my family members, you guys have shown great support, especially my parents! My dad made me my TV cabinet, display glass shelves, pedi leg rest, my mani table.... all customised!

Lastly to my BF, thank you for loving me and showing your support in everything I do! 4years+ going 5 and we're still very much in love.......shy.

Having my menstrual cramps.. gonna rest!

Spring flowers gel french overlay

Did a gel french overlay (yes, the white french part is done using white coloured gel) for a mother to be! Sweet nails for a sweet mummy.

Anyway it looks just like nail polish, the only difference is it's more glossy and it lasts much longer!

It's all pink and white!

Lacey blings


2 colour's used here for the nail colour, white glitter and baby pink polish painted to create a gradient effect. Can see? The white glitter slowly fades out at the tip, to blend into the baby pink.

Anyway, this design really got to me. I kept staring at this photo.. for a long time, and over and over again. I really love this design!

Tiffany's love

I bought a new shade of colour, and it looks almost exactly like Tiffany & Co's blue-green signature colour! Anyway here's one set of acrylic nails I did using that colour. The actual colour is impossible to capture and that's the reason why it looks like it's baby blue... but it's not!


Naming it Tiffany's love cos it looks very much like a gift, with love. :) Design is chosen by customer from Nail Max and we modified the colour and design a little.


The design on the thumb.

qing, a big thank you for being nice and for putting this on your blog! I love you as much as you love me! hahahhaha. very shy, so must write it small.
