Greetings!

Moving on to the next prompt, chocolate, my favorite! I'm always the kid that chooses chocolate over strawberry ice creams 😛

Today I am creating a chocolate ice cream dripping down my nails with some rainbow rice sprinkles on top (also my fav). To create this manicure, I started off with one coat of OPI "Bubble Bath" and then adding a matte top coat over. 

Then, I used Jior Couture "Coffee Run!" and a small nail art brush to draw on some chocolate drips coming down from the tips of my nail towards the cuticle. I used white polish to draw on small little lines to create the base for the sprinkle and went in with Sally Hansen "Bubblegum Pink", Kure Bazaar "Turkoise" and "Carioca". To add contrast, I put on a layer of glossy top coat on the chocolate drips only to make sure it stands out from the matte base.


Ta-da! Does this make you crave for some chocolate right now?

Item was provided for honest review


Hi there!
I took the next prompt quite literally onto my nail art, bunnies or chicks? In light of Easter holiday, I decided to recreate Alice's (onenailtorulethemall) work from way back. With a slight twist, a chevron background for the words! For the bunny and the chicken, I used Essie "Navigate Her" and "Fiji" as the base colors, the yellow I used was China Glaze "Lemon Fizz" for the chicken.


And now, moving on to the cute chevron pattern, I used BornPrettyStore BP L013 plate. My package arrived just before I started my nail art, perfect timing I must say! I used Konad's white stamping polish for the stamp.

Before free handing my words, I added a top coat as a protective layer just in case I make any mistakes! Here's a close up shot, so you can see how the stamping turned out. I must say, I am surprised that it came out that well! Because sometimes when doing stamping, it's not guarantee it will work!


For this plate, it was easy to use and I am so fond of all the patterns here, look at that little rocking horse pattern! IT'S SO CUTE! Can't wait to use that! This plate is just $2.99 on BornPrettyStore.com and you could use my code "LSTX31" to get a 10% off discount! Remember, BPS ships for free worldwide! 😉😉

#Clairestelle8April - Dry Brush

Good evening readers!

I am going to try my best to do the #Clairestelle8April challenge for April, click HERE for all the prompts!

The first one is "dry brush" and I wanted to try something new, this idea just popped right up from my head. Introducing, dry brushing with negative space! I don't know if this was done before or not, but here is my take on it!


This manicure is really easy to do! Wipe your black polish brush back and forth to remove almost all the polish and then make strokes on your already dried base coat. 

Because I dislike my free edge showing so I did a black french tip, pretty sophisticated eh? 😏 To bring it up a notch, I added  small gold stud near the cuticle. Here's a macro shot for you! (so macro you could see a fuzzy on my nail LOL)


I'm really satisfied with how this turned out, let me know what you think! Before I forget to mention, I used a-England "Camelot" for my black polish! That's THE BEST black polish, I swear upon it!

"So you wanna play with magic? Boy, you should know what you're falling for"

And here is the last prompt for the March challenge! I know it's already April, but hey, I made the effort to finish this up!

I decided long before that I wanted to do a magic ball in this manicure, and so I free-handed this design by drawing it, turns out pretty alright! I was afraid that the ball was gonna be lopsided or something LOL 🤣


I also added some twinkling stars with Bundle Monster BM703 stamping plate and white stamping polish on the other nails to tie up with the mysterious magic ball. Not to mention, I used one coat of a-England "Camelot" and then added FUN Lacquer "Holo Top Coat" to bring out the rainbow madness! You can see closely in my picture the dash of colours on my fingertips 😍 

Let me know what you think of this manicure, also keep your eyes peeled for the next challenge this month!

Hi again, yes two posts in a day!
For the prompt for "Mothers", the first thing that came to mind was (of course) my Mom, and also flowers! So I chose a pinky palette for this look using Glam Polish "Sealiest Thing I've Ever Heard" and Zoya "Aurora".


I then used white stamping polish and Bundle Monster BM-710 for the flowers. While I was stamping the flower pattern, I realised I could use the big flower as an accent that symbolises Mothers. Mothers why look after their little ones (the smaller flowers), cute right?

Here's a close up macro shot of the accent design!

Hello!

I know I am so so so behind on this challenge :/ I almost wanted to give up and just leave it undone , but no I thought otherwise! Here I am back at where I left off. This is my nail art for the unseasonal prompt.

In Singapore we don't have the four seasons and defintely not any snow because we are on the equator. So, here I did a very simple manicure with FUN Lacquer "Black Holo Witch" as the base (so damn gorgeous!) and using a BornPrettyStore BPX-L008 plate (use my code "LSTX31" for 10% off!)

Hello all!
Today's St. Patrick's Day and though I do not personally celebrate this day I am here to share a manicure with you!

I used Barry M "Waikiki" and Morgan Taylor "Gotta Have Hue" for this nail art. I was inspired by a quick Google image search on the web whereby I saw cute men in green. And so, I decided two paint on a green tux and a hat! I wonder if anyone actually will wear a suit in this color LOL!


And of course, how can we forget about the shamrock right? To accompany the look I did a simple dotticure on my pinky!
