MUSIC INSPIRED NAIL ART- NEED YOU NOW

Oh My God!! I just love this song so much!! I don't know how many of you feel the same way but i've been repeating this song all the time! Call me slow but i've just discovered this song only bout 3 months ago but the frequency of the song playing in my itunes have increased in these past few days!
-Love it-love it-Love it!!





Anyway, while listening to this song, i was having my nail art stuff on my dressing table and just randomly i started doing some designs on my nails- i'm pretty sure i've seen it somewhere but i cant recall where. I'll call this as Music Inspired Nail Art. Forgive my ugly nail art but basically this is what i did:-)


The Tutorial:

First paint your nails with base coat and your background colour. In this i used ORLY La Playa:


Then for the heart shaped design, use any reds you have. I'm using Big Red Apple in this.



Drop a drop of the colour on a piece of paper, or if u have the colour palette its much better:-)



Dip your tiny brush into the drop. Its not necessary for you to purchase the special nail brushes. Im using something i got from the stationary store that cost hardly Rm 1. Just make sure its superfine.


Then using this brush, draw a small heart shape in the middle of your nails. Like this:



Now, using your brush, draw your background colour (zig-zag) in the middle of the heart so that it looks like a broken heart like this:



You can leave it this way or if you dont want it to look 'empty', just put some shiny dots around it. I'm using OPI suede coz its quite 'glittery' 





Finally put on your top coat for a nicer finish.

Tada.. The final results:.. :-)





Hope you girls like it:-)

WHAT'S RIHANNA WEARING-RED POLISH SWATCHES

Hi girls..
Have you seen this new video clip from Rihanna with Eminem- Love The Way You Lie? 




Well do check out the cool song on domestic violence, also dont forget Rihanna's red hair. Gosh she looks good. But most of all dont forget to look at her nails too. Nothing special but i like the all red theme. That got me wonder which red shade is she wearing. So what i did was i brought out all the reds i have and went through them one by one till  i've came out with four look alike. Now i need you girls to help me decide which of these four is the most similar to the 1 she's wearing? 

I'm Not Really A Waitress:




Keys To My Karma




An Affair In Red Square




Big Red Apple




Call it an obsession if you like but i really need to know:-) Personally i think its big red apple, but seriously what you think?

NOTD: ESSIE HUCKLE BUCKLE & CHINA GLAZE HOLOGRAPHIC

Hi girls,
This is something out of the blues post. I was really bored this morning and was cracking my head on how to do my nails today that i've decided on this; a combi of Essie Huckle buckle (btw looks a shade lighter from Chanel Paradoxal only), China Glaze IDK from the OMG collection, and one of the konad image from the plate M57. 
I wanted something not too loud but noticeable. It should look like it was engraved from one polish instead from two (i hope you know what i mean:-)) Neway, this is what i've created;


With Flash:

Now you know what i mean? I wanted something with the similar colour but with holographic effect so it 'pops' out:-)
Btw, this is how China Glaze IDK looks like (with flash)



Hope you girls like this:-) Its really nice in real. This pictures cant show you the real effect under internal lightings. I got lots of 'wow's from my housemates:-)

With Lots of Love:

GUEST REVIEWER- MIRCOZ NAIL COLOUR

Hi girls, today i have an external nail reviewer who wants to introduce a new brand of polishes to you girls. Enjoy..

Guest Viewer: Christine
"I tend to ignore my nail care after I got a baby boy. I’m too busy on babysitting & don't have time to do the nail polishing on my own. So, I have decided to pamper myself by having the manicure at SPA Asia, Tmn Melawati.
They provide great service at affordable price. It only cost me RM25! The nail colors used in the salon is a new brand in the market - Mircoz. Good quality & easy to apply. If you are looking for some colors at average prices, no harm giving it a try.

The color i choose is 704, between blue & green, has micro glitters in it.




There is also a guided step of what the manicurist actually do! check em out!

Cool huh? I will definately get one of these and swatch them when i get my hands on them. I particularly like 307 :-)

So neway, hope you girls enjoy it. Also, do check this spa out the next time you go to Tmn Melawati k.. 

Tc..

ELANOR NAIL POLISH SWATCHES-PART 1

Ive purchased i think about 10-12 polishes from this brand but i wont be putting all the swatches up together. Today's colour consists of 4 colours from this brand; 2 glitters, and 2 norm.
Im afraid i don't know how to see the codings for this polishes too therefore im not gonna put any in this site. If at all you want to purchase colours from this swatches, just let me know and ill give you all the codings on the bottle. hehe..
Ok picture time;

Pinkish-purple


Gold-sparkle


Silver-sparkle

 Orangish-pinkish


Overall:
Price: Rm 6.90 i think
Application: Quite easy to apply but streaky
Smell: Buek!!
Overall: I dont like them. It doesnt give a 'classy' finish. It looks very cheapish despite having Nubar's Diamond Top Coat on them. Doesn't last long. So far for the cheaper range of polishes i love skin food. Certainly wouldnt buy this again. For those who wants this im willing to let it go for Rm 3.

tc..

NOTD: OPI MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER HALF, IM NOT REALLY A WAITRESS AND KONAD M65

The nail of today is a combination of OPI My significant Other Half, I'm Not Really A waitress and the roses design from Konad M65. 


Now why did i come up with this look? 
Well i needed something that will go with my outfit tomorrow ( some cheongsam like blouse) so this was the closest i could get. 
Why not just a normal polish, why duo chromes? 
Well.. Its my new love so i'm using anything that screams duo-chrome or holographic as much as i can. Besides it would be rather boring if it was normal cream polish, am i right? 
Anyway, below are some of the pics i took last night. Sorry its all artificial lighting and flash so it isn't as good as below sunlight but its sufficient to show how it looks like:-) enjoy..

THE SKIN FOOD NAIL VITA COLLECTION

Good Morning Girls..
Ok this will be the fastest update; Bought all the colours from The Skin Food the other day from Mid Valley. The Nail Vita range was Rm 8 i think. Anyways, its all greens and blues (just the way i like it hehe).. The colours ill review along the way ya.






This colour is actually more green than blue in real. The last picture that was taken using flash exhibits the closest version of the "real-life" colour. Looks a lot like Nubar's Go Green Collection; Earth

This is the closest i could get from this green. Very sheer- this is 4 layers. Actually three is enough but i wanted it to look as close to Essie's Mint Candy Apple. However it couldnt be matched because Essie's is more pastel while this isn't. But well.. Its similar i would say.





I love the 'jelly' effect of this colour so much that i had to put all the ok pics in too:-) 

Perfect colour match. This is how it looks like in real life too. A lot like Conserve from Nubar Going Green Collection

Overall its a good collection. Application wise was good as the brush is a bit easier to handle, formulation is very 'cair' so you might need more than 3 layers to have the perfect finish. Drying time sucks; i had to wait so long although i did very thin layerings. Probably because of the number of layers. I hate the smell (again). But overall its a good buy especially because all the colours look like other brand's colour. Just put extra shiny top coat and you are good to go. Nobody will be able to tell the difference:-)

STAGE NAIL POLISH SWATCHES & REVIEW- EXTREME

Good morning girls. A quick post from me today coz its Monday and as usual i've got to rush to work:-)
Anyhow, the colour i'm gonna review today is a colour from Stage; Extreme. Yap thats the name of the polish:-) 





Extreme is a dark olive colour that if you don't look at it properly, you might mistake it as a brown. It has micro glitters in it that further enhances the colour. 

Application wise- its perfect. So far i've done two swatches on Stage nail polish and i find both of it having great brush and formula thickness that its relatively easy to apply. 

Price wise; i bought this during sale so it was Rm 18. Original price is 38 i think. 
Overall i would agree to the name; that indeed it is an extremely amazing colour. The reasons are:

  1. Its cheap
  2. The Olive green is just so beautiful! I don't have any colour even close to this in my 400+ polish collection:-)
  3. I love the formulation and wide brush
So what do you think? Ever used any Stage polish before? How do you feel about it?
