More vinyls from BornPrettyStore? Oh yeah, here's one that I used as a sticker instead! You can find this triangle patterned vinyl here.

This manicure is totally inspired by Angel from @twi_star! See her video here which got me thinking of using vinyls as stickers :D

I went for a rather badass cool look so I had on Zoya "Payton" a deep rich purple red with strong holographic specks that matches well with the gold holographic vinyl sheet. It does look really cool eh?

However I do not think that this manicure can last very long LOL because the vinyl may pop off from the edges. It was not meant for this purpose but I was just trying it out this way :D Would you wear this look?

Hello to all out there!

Today I am trying something different and have not done in a long long while... it's dry marbling! I have done this before (click here & here) and I'm doing this again but not in the usual blue toned colors :P

I am using Zoya polishes today and boy do I love them! I had on one coat of Zoya "Nevaeh" and then applied another very thick layer of it over and then dot on "Aurora". Next I used a thin long brush to swirl both the colors together to make a random pretty design. There will be a video tutorial on how I did it on Instagram which I will embed it below after it's posted!

I thought that this design is a messy one but still very interesting to look at, don't you agree?

Hello girlfriends!!

Today I have an interesting nail art which was on my to-do list, and finally I tried it! Cut-out hearts, or some may call it negative space hearts? IDK, haha! Anyway, I found a few methods to do this mani. You could either (1) paint your nails, then using a cotton bud dipped into nail polish remover and erase out the polish in the shape of a heart or (2) draw out a heart, color in the outside

Well, I did the first method because I feel that it is faster in a way (although the hearts may seem funny LOL). Also, I outlined the heart with a shiny gold polish (SH Golden-I). This reminds me of Christmas or Valentine's Day. But oh well, love is everyday, right?

Ah yes, I almost forgot to mention that I used Ciate's topcoat! It is really good too! I like it (:

What do you think of negative space manis? I initially didn't fancy the thought of showing my bare nails in the midst of my nail art. But tbh, this looks cute!

Hello dearest readers!

I have a long awaited untried polish, Zoya Kimberrrrr! This is a gorgeous, pretty red that made my hands elegant instantly! First off, a bottle shot - look at that gold shimmer *eyes widen*

This bottle, I have no complains. I can't even say a thing bad about Kimber! The formula was fantastic, coverage was really impressive. Swatches are two coats without topcoat! Anyway, you could see the first coat in my YouTube swatch video I'll embed at the bottom of this post.

The fine gold shimmer makes everything so much more grand, and also the red reminds me of Chinese New Year. Gold and red, perfect combo! Here's another shot :D
