Valentine's Day Nail Art Series - Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Hey everyone!

One of my favourite things about Valentine's Day is that my boyfriend always makes me delicious chocolate dipped strawberries so I decided to do a nail design inspired by that!

One of the best things about this design is that it's a pretty versatile! You could remove the chocolate portion of it and it becomes a fun design for any day of the year and if you used brighter colours this would be a great summer mani.

Products:
Seche Clear Base Coat
Nicole by OPI - OMB! (strawberry)
China Glaze - Starboard (leaves)
Revlon - Hot for Chocolate (chocolate)
China Glaze - Lighthouse (seeds)
Seche Vite Top Coat
China Glaze Matte Magic (on top of chocolate portion only)

(By the way, OMB! by Nicole by OPI is STUNNING. I seriously considered leaving it on by itself because I hated to cover some of it up! If you don't already own this colour, I really recommend considering it.) Read Full...

Hey guys!

Today I have the second design in my Valentine's Day series and this is one that I'm actually going to leave on for longer than half an hour!

However, I actually really like this Valentine's Day mani so this one will be a keeper. :)

Look of the Day - Simple Sparkly Blue

Hey all!

In my post where I reviewed MAC's Siahi Fluidline, I said I had been wearing it with a blue look and I finally remembered to snap a couple of picture of the look (well, I didn't remember until I got home - 6 hours after it had been applied). Anyways, I love this look because it's super easy but still looks pretty rockin'.

Look of the Day - Holiday Greens

Hey guys!

I know it's been forever since I last posted a makeup look but now that my semester is over I've started actually caring about makeup again! Plus, I've been able to play with some of the makeup that I accumulated throughout the semester that I didn't have time to play with when I purchased it and that's been really fun.

This look is one that I came up with for the holiday season and that I have been wearing at various holiday parties and get togethers. It's gotten a lot of compliments and it's surprisingly very easy to do!

Keep reading for more photos and a list of the products I used!

Revlon StreetWear Envy

Revlon StreetWear - Envy, 2 coats

Envy is the love child of olive green and chartreuse - too saturated and bright to be the former and too muted for the latter one. It has small golden flecks and orange and green shimmer in a green creamy base and two coat were enough to reach opacity. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite suit my skintone. :L BTW, the UK version of Toad is almost identical with Envy except I find Envy a bit prettier than the UK Toad as it has a bit more of that gorgeous golden shimmer.

Umbrella

Hello guys, i wasnt in good mood when creating this nail art but i was trying hard to do my best creating it! I have been staying in Bogor (my aunty's house) and its rainy almost everyday. So the inspiration came from there. And for me, umbrella is one of important things i use to bring when i go walk to uni. I have one umbrella and its cutie blue :)

Im not too happy with the result of this nail art but i still wanting to share here. So, i started with base coat from Pixy as usual, then 3 coats of "White on White" from Revlon as base color.

Pinky Finger : 9 Lady Blossom from Maybelline, white polish for dots and flower, black polish for the stalk.
Ring Finger : blue polish (unknown brand polish), white polish for dots, black polish for the stalk.
Middle Finger : red (Pixy), white polish for flowers, black polish for the stalk.
Index Finger : green (Eternally), white polish for dots and flower, black for the stalk.
Thumb : brown (Pixy), white polish for dots and flowers, black for the stalk

Glaming it up with Revlon Star Top Coat

It really does look like stars!

I'm sure you remember my last NOTD OPI's Yoga-ta Get This Blue. I wanted to extend it out a couple more days and realized that I have a whole lot of fun top coats that hardly ever get used.

Yay, some blue skies!

Time to rectify the situation! Out came Revlon's Star. This is a barely blue clear base with holographic hex glitter and fine silver glitter. Sooooo pretty.

I did have to do a bit of fishing for the hex's but very worth it I think. Don't you agree??

I'm so glad we had a bit of sun so you can see the shine! Read Full...

Revlon Silver Switch

Revlon - Silver Switch, 2 coats

Silver Switch is an old, discontinued shade from their Color Illusion series. Application was a bit tricky it having a metallic finish but the sheer prettines of the polish makes up for its other flaws. The colour changes from purple to two different tones of green with a hint of silver.

Nail art stamping spam!

I should preface this post by stating that I'm really bad at stamping. It may be because of the shape of my nails which are super curved - they're half spheres, actually. In addition to the normal Konad rubber stamper I got myself a brandless one made of silicone. Smaller designs I can stamp with the Konad one but larger full nail designs are impossible without using the silicone stamper I rarely bother with stamping just because the whole process is so time consuming and the results I get often disappoint me.

Make Up Store - Dolly, Wet 'n' Wild - Black Creme & Konad M66 w/ Konad special white

Dolly is a pretty one with iridescent yellow shimmer in a blue/mint green base and I think Misa Silk Robe is a close relative of hers. I love this polish although it needs some extra decor or it looks like poo with my skintone. I think I was inspired by (= ripped off) one of Konad's promo pics.

Revlon - Not So Blue-Berry & Konad M69 w/ Konad special white

Not So Blue-Berry was my first scented polish - it's such a pretty blurple foil and smells delicious, but oh how it bubbled on me! I had to make sure that the first coat was bone dry until I carefully applied the second coat, hoping that it would cover the rash-like texture.

Revlon - Grape Icy & Bundle Monster 03 w/ Konad special white

Another one of Revlon's scented polishes was Grape Icy from their 2010 Scents of Summer collection which I was somewhat disappointed with. It was streaky and sheer, recquiring three coats for opacity, plus the colour is very ordinary (I must have half a dozen near dupes). The smell was nice, though.

Color Club - Yachty Yachty Yadda & Konad M39 w/ red franken

A manicure with super girly pink base and super girly magenta butterflies make for a happy Bruno.

Grey franken, GOSH - Wild Lilac & Konad M3 w/ Wet 'n' Wild black

This one was actually inspired by a studded t-shirt I found in a secondhand store! The base was some random quick grey franken using Wet 'n' Wild black and white polishes, then adding a gradation with GOSH Wild Lilac and a makeup sponge. Next, I stamped on tons of stars and finally added small violet paillettes from a craft store.

Blue, teal & turquoise spam! Pt. 3

Franken - Envy Me, Carl, 2 coats

I mixed half and half of H&M Envy Me and Spending Cash With Carl to get this unbelievably gorgeous deep teal shimmer.

Franken - Envy Me, Carl & Precision - After Dinner Mints, 2 coats

Orly - It's Up to Blue, 2 coats

Orly - It's Up to Blue & Nubar - Blue Silver Glitter, 2 + 2 coats

I was disappointed by It's Up to Blue - it looked horrible against my skin - so I topped it with Blue Silver Glitter from Nubar. OMG sparklefest! The glitter is tiny and two coats gave just enough coverage the green-ness of the Orly to shine through.

Franken - Under the Sea, 2 coats

DICI - 046, 2 coats

HOMG this is the most metallic polish EVER, it's incredible and must seen with one's own eyes! DICI is a Chinese brand available on eBay and is chock-full of toxic ingredients judging by the smell. It applied beautifully, probably thanks to all the carcinogenic stuff that's in it.

Maybelline - New Year's Blues, 2 coats

Revlon StreetWear - Midnight & Models Own - Blue Sparkle, 2 + 1 coats

Purple spam! Pt. 1

China Glaze - Grape Juice, 3 coats

Sally Hansen - Grape Going! 3 coats

Nails of the Day - Breast Cancer Awareness

Hey everyone!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so today's design is based on that. I really wanted to use the Breast Cancer Awareness colour by OPI called Pink of Hearts 2010 but it didn't really fit into the design I had in mind. It's still a gorgeous colour, though.

Products:
• China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
• OPI - La-Pazitively Hot (base colour)
• Revlon - Belle (glitter top coat)
• OPI - Mod About You (ribbons)
