Nice Things To List

Hello there reader!

Today's theme is Santa! I was inspired by a Christmas nail design found from a magazine. The image was from one of Singapore's salons called Manicurious. I followed the design of the Santa.

To add a bit of varation, I did a white and red water marble design which turned out pretty pink in nature LOL. 

What do you think of this combination? 

Hello there!

Today's theme for Christmas is reindeer! I was inspired by Odette Swan on Youtube, watch her tutorial here. I did a silhouette of reindeer on a packed gold glitter polish. I used No7 - Sun Rays and added a top coat to smooth the surface so I could start drawing.

At first I went with black acrylic paint and then realised it was too dark so I went in with white acrylic paint and left a gap to show some black outlines. It turned out better! As for my accent design, I painted my nail black with a-England - Camelot and then added some gold micro beads I got from Miss A. I then placed them near the cuticle creating a triangle.

So here is the final look! Yay or nay? 

Good evening!

Today is the 15th of December and today's theme is GIFTS. Christmas is the season of giving and I love the idea of that ^^ Here is a little gif that is the main inspiration behind today's mani. CUTE CATBUG!! :3

Catbug is my accent design and I used a super tiny nail art brush which I trimmed down to size with a pair of scissors I basically followed the image and with much patience traced out the outlines first and then going in with the details. In case you're wondering the polishes used for Catbug are:

Yellow: OPI - I Just Can’t Cope-acabana 

Light Blue: China Glaze - For Audrey

Dark Blue: Essie - Avenue Maintain

Red: Rimmel London - Hip Hop

Purple: Rimmel London - Seduce

It's the 12th of December which means two things; (1) my mid semester tests are overrrr (2) it is time for #nailartchallegedec!

Today's challenge is mistletoe. I had to Google exactly how one looks like because in a hot country like Singapore with no seasons at all, I have no idea how a mistletoe looks like! Initially I thought a holly and a mistletoe is the same plant, but no I was wrong.

Here's a diagram to show the difference. Thanks to Google I got my facts right! With that let's move on to today's nail art.

I created a simple polka dots with a-England - Camelot as a black base and then I went in with some dots using a white polish first, then I went over with Charlie's Rad Lacquer - Peace Ain't Easy (swatched here).

As for the mistletoe itself, I dotted on four white dots then over with Peace Ain't Easy, near to my cuticle area and then drew on some leaves using a light green polish Essie - Navigate Her and then did some details with a darker green from Revlon - Trendy. 

I realised then that my black base was a bit bare and boring so I went added a touch of glitter using China Galze - Fairy Dust over the black without layering over the mistletoe.

Greetings dear reader!

It is day 8 of  December, it's getting more festive every single day! Today I have for you a cute little elf!

I came across Pack A Punch Polish's YouTube tutorial and thought that the peeking elf was so cute I had to recreate it. I also made some changes because my base was already a green base so I had white outlines instead. Luckily it did not look too bad!

I also gave Mr Elf some clothes and drew on some nice buttons and a belt! In case you're wondering, the base glitter is F.U.N. Lacquer's Secret which I also used in my previous mani too! 

Hey there!

It is the fifth of December already! Today's challenge is ❄ snowflakes ❄ I was inspired by two nail artists; IG@judyrox and IG@jarynails. Both of them had a quick tutorial on their IG page. Judyrox created the falling snow with the tips in white, watch it here. Jarynails also had a tutorial for the snowflake accent design you see below, watch her tutorial here.

Good afternoon!

Today is the first day of the last month of the year! Yes, December the first~ I was tagged last night by IG@glamourouspumps in her challenge she came up with @nailsby_redkoletz. And as I was looking at the first challenge in bed, a design was born there and then!

And that very design was transformed on to my nails, ta-da! Presenting the longest candy cane?! HAHA! I chose an awesome glitter background China Glaze - I Heard That. For the candy cane, I used Chloe and Bella - White Out and OPI - Coca-Cola Red.
