Hello there!
I've been MIA these past few months because I am on Internship at Digimind (as some of you might have seen on my Instagram post). Now, I have decided to take more effort into doing my nails and posting more nail art.
I had one mission today - use polish I have not worn before. Quickly, I knew what I wanted and grabbed Wet Seal "Mint Liqueur" and MODI "70". Greens are not usual colors but I shall make it a challenge! Doing a simple gradient seemed fit for this mint and army green, and so I begun 😄

Hey there again!

I must say that I am starting to love stamping! I feel like there's still so much to explore in this area :) For today's mani, I would be using BornPrettyStore BP-19 plate. It has a wide range of leaves designs, from cutesy round leaves to detailed maple leaves.

As you can see from the plate, you get a lot of designs for what you pay! I think that it is really worth it! Now moving on to today's nail art :D

I started off with OPI - Bubble Bath. Now, this polish has been on my lemming list for agessssss. I have seen so many YouTubers use this and I was interested to know how great this pink is. Knowing I am not a pink girl LOL. Butttttt, this one is truly soft and amazing! Although formula was sheer :/

Yeap, above is FIVE coats, yes five. Well, because I didn't want any visible nail line, I was going for full opaqueness. Also, I was done at four coats and then I just had to have a smudge. So I covered it with a fifth coat *sighs*.

Let's take a look at what I did.

An ombre stamping with an accent glittery maple leaves design. And I even matted it, which do you prefer?? Let me know in the comments hehe!

Well, for those who are wondering how I did the ombre stamping, here's a simple pictorial with instructions below.

1. Apply the colors at the longer side of the image 2. Using a scraper, scrape off excess polish 3. Quickly pick up image 4. Stamp on nail in a rolling motion
For the greens, I used Barry M - Spring Green and Revlon - Trendy. And as for the maple leaves, I used Jior Couture - Coffee Run! and I added some sparkle with China Glaze - Fairy Dust. Wow, that's a mouthful!
I think that stamping needs a lot of practice in order to find the right angle, pressure and/or technique to get it right. So far of all the BPS stamping plates, I was impressed with the quality and was pleased that images transferred well.
BPS ships WORLDWIDE for FREE. I mean, you guys know this by now right? LOL I keep mentioning it because who doesn't love free shipping hehe!

Hello ladies! I got my very FIRST Essie nail polish, in the color FIRST TIMER (: It is a very pretty green yet with hints of blue in different lighting. Here is my swatch of Essie - First timer. The first coat was pretty opaque, but I went with two coats anyway (:

Interestingly, there was a difference in color change when I applied my top coat on. As seen below, the nail with top coat is leaning more towards yellow, and is much brighter than First Timer without top coat on. So I guess I got two colors in one! HAHAH! But, let's see how long the one without top coat can last!

Besides getting this Essie polish, I also got a nice warm yellow by China Glaze in the color Lemon Fizz. I realised that these two colors go very well with each other, so I decided to put on Lemon Fizz on my ring finer as an accent nail.

I found that my mani was a bit too boring with plain colors, so I added some dots with First Timer. It looks so cute ^^ What do you think?

If you haven't realise, these two colors are from my LIST! So, now I can strike two colors from it! HEHEHE, I'm so happy! Basically I didn't pay for these :P My mom wanted to get OPI Barre My Soul, and she asked me if I wanted any other polishes.... So I gave the names of these two to her :P THANK YOU MOMMA ♡
