White flowers on Gold

Gold base color (Golden Rules) from OPI. White and Black acrylic paint from Omni.

This is yet another first attempt. My first time trying to draw flowers. Honestly, I don't really like them, not nice enough. They are a little too small and the petals are not obvious enough. There is still plenty of room for improvement for drawing these flowers.

Leopard Print

Silver glitter base (BK902) from Face Shop. Black and brown acrylic paint from Omni.

Yap, I've gone 'missing' for a while. That's because somehow, I managed to make the previous set of nails last for 2 weeks!! They could last longer but I decided to remove them as I was going for seafood dinner.

Now, this is my virgin attempt on leopard prints. Seen alot of these on the net and magazines but never once attempted to try drawing them. It was until a lovely fellow cotter posted pictures of her attempt in the forum and sharing tips on how to draw them, then I decided to give it a try. Hmm... I don't think I did a very good job but they still remotely resembles leopard prints right?

Professionally Done Nails!! #2

Look!! Pretty? Went for my session with Susan today. This is my set of manicure she did for me. Beautiful acrylic roses and leaves with blings. My cousin commented that they look a little like bridal nails. Well, I think they are pretty. I'm so addicted to Susan... Maybe I should stop DIYing and just go to her every now and then.. Hee hee..

I had a rather hard time choosing the design. I flipped through a couple of nails magazines and still cannot decide on any designs. In the end, just told Susan that I want acrylic roses on a light shade base and she came up with this design. Wonderful... ....

I did a pedicure as well. This time it's not exactly matching with my mani but that's alright. My camera was unable to capture the actual color of the base. It's actually a lighter shade of purple than this captured in the photo. Nail art was only done on the big toes as all my toe nails are super short now, no point drawing so much stuff on such a small space. Oh, I really like these hand painted roses as well. I think I simply like flowers on my nails.

Golden french

Base (Passion), french tips (Golden Rules) both from OPI. Clear glitter line (Crystal glitter) from Artclub.

You will not believe the amount of time I took to come up with this set of nails. My intention was to do my nails right after dinner, using the time to digest my dinner, then go for my jog. In the end, I painted and removed and painted again then removed again! Fed up, went for my jog first, hoping that some idea will come to me after jogging. Nope, it did not happen. After jogging, painted and removed for like twice before giving up and settle for this simple french design. And just when I thought it will all end here, I went to take a shower too soon, causing the tips to be crumbled. Luckily I took this picture before my shower. I think I'm getting more and more impatient. Should I stop playing with my nails for a while?

Well, I've completely cut my toe nails. Actually had wanted to let Susan trim them when I visit her this Sunday but my nails are too long for jogging. They keep pushing at the tip of my running shoes and it hurts. I figured I've to cut them immediately if I still want to jog to prevent some unpleasant stuff from happening. And I did, they are all bald now! Ha ha! No picture for that as they are puke inducingly ugly. Will post picture after I got my pedi done!

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to my session this Sunday!!

The silver that separates the gold and while

Base color (Golden Rules) from OPI, white tips (WH002) from Face Shop and silver lines (Fine Silver Glitter) from Artclub.

Yes, I know this is a very simple, boring design. Totally nothing special. Well, I was a little occupied with my little burning-off-calories plan and also, I think I'm really running out of ideas for the nails. If you have any ideas or designs, please share with me.... Save me from this terrible mental block! Another reason (excuse) for this simple, boring design is that I'm going for my mani & pedi session with deary Susan this Sunday!! Yeah! Really, really looking forward to the magic she is going to do to my nails.
