Purchases #7 : Crystals again...

I ordered these Swarovski crystals online about a week ago. Wanted to try this seller as I thought it's cheap. I guess this is the first and last time ordering from him/her as I've found cheaper!
One more package of 288 non-Swarovski coming on the way. Kinda regret ordering them now. Was tempted by the buy one get one free promotion then. Thinking back, those non-Swarovski rhinestones are more expensive than the Swarovski ones and they are not bling at all...

Purchases #6 : Lace nail stickers supplies

My supplies of lace stickers arrived from Hong Kong. I was expecting each strip to be much longer though. Not really worth it.

A little modification

Added a coat of Canmake 'clear' glitters. Tried applying a coat of Nailtek Quicken but it turned frosted again.

Golden French Tips with Red Rhinestones

Golden Glitters from Canmake. Non-Swarovski rhinestones. Coats and coats of OPI Envy strengthener. Seems like something is wrong with the Nailtek Quicken. After applying it on my nails, it cause a 'frosted' effect. I think would have to stop using it until I find out the reason.

Colorful French Tips with crystal flowers

Colorful french tips using ArtClub Nail Art Lacquers in Red Glitters, Copper Glitters and Gold Hologram. Fine line beneath the tips using Fine Silver Glitters and added a thin line of Crystal Glitters, both from ArtClub as well. Used the lower grade rhinestones. Had a coat of OPI Envy strengthener as base and 2 coats of Nailtek Quicken as top coat. As the thumb's nail is pathetically short, it's impossible to do french on it. So, lined the edge slightly with the silver glitters and added another fine line of crystal glitters as well.

This is the right hand. Pardon this picture taken by my left hand.

BLING STEERING WHEEL!
I so love the steering wheel now! It's so BLING! Should have used Crystal AB, would be more bling. Doesn't matter, I shall change the blings in time to come.

Purchases #5 : Crystals! Lots and lots of them!

Crystals are addictive! I went a little crazy and added a whole lot more to my existing collection. Crazy...


My Swarovski crystal collection. (It used to occupy only 2 rows of the black box.)
