Nice Things To List

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!

Guys, girls, everyone, I couldn't believe that I totally forgot about my Barry M pink nail art pen *cries* I feel so guilty!!

To make up to my negligence, I paired up with Barry M Espresso, a black matte, ONE COATER polish. In light of the upcoming V-Day, I decided to do something related since the pen is in pink color.

I then goolged for Tattoo Ink font as a reference for my letters L-O-V-E.

I then followed the font really closely using the pen. The Barry M Nail Art Pen is really easy to use. However, you do have to take note that when drawing onto the nail, you will have to draw in a stippling motion, otherwise the color does not show off opaque.

Hi hi ;)

I have a recreation today! It was inspired by IG@kgrdnr and specifically this post:

And for my mani, here are the polishes used:

(L-R: Essie Matte About You, CG Adventure Red-y, Essence Waking Up In Vegas, Ciate topcoat)

So what I did was, paint my base color and added a thin layer of topcoat. Then, using scotch tape, I placed it on my nails leaving a space for my flakies to see through! And then, I ended everything with a matte topcoat.  Here is how it turned out!

This nail art reminds me so much of Chinese New Year :D What do you think of it?

Hello again!

As promised, I have a mani for all you readers out there! Today's mani was inspired by IG@ohmygoshpolish. She creates so many nail art designs and posts them so many times a day and I can hardly believe that! LOL. But anyway, here is the specific post which I got my inspiration from.

Basically, I recreated the way @ohmygoshpolish had the black stripes and blocks over her leopard print. Except mine was a glitter background. I tried my best to get straight lines using a thin liner brush. And here is the final result.
