Nails of The Day: Crystal Gradient Nails

I have done (tried and attempted) to do 3 different kind of nail designs before this one, and unfortunately, it kind of turned out really ugly because of my unsteady hands and ofcourse my nails being really short lately. So finally, after getting a few inspirations from ViVi magazine, I came up with this simple design.

Step 1:

With any sparkly white nail varnish, apply 1-3 coats of it, depending on how transparent your nail varnish is. Apply until opaque and let dry. I used the Sephora kind (I forgot the name)

Step 2.

With any pink Polish (I used a no name from that I got from Anime North lol), first apply a thin coat 1/2 way down the nail, then 1/3 of the way, and etc. until you get to the tip. This way, you are gradually building colour towards the tip of the nail.

Step 3.

Finally With a brush on nail glue, I used Nailene brand. You can use a clear nail polish instead, but I find using this dries faster and the crystals will stick on better. Use 2 crystals and stick them on the middle of the nail on the bottom as shown. Finish with a top coat if you desire.

You're done =)

Nails of the Day: Royal White

Usually, I wouldn't do my nails if they are short, but since its just the starting of the term and I figured I might as well be creative with nails before the term progresses and I get busy and won't have any time to make any blog posts, I figured, why not?

Step 1:
Use a pink nude sheer colour and add 1-2 coats of polish. Let dry, I used Sally Hansen Salon Manicure - Camella

Step 2: Using the nail guard sticker, place it near the cuticles of your nail

Step 3. Use white nail polish to paint the "tips" I used OPI

Step 4. Use the crown nail decals and place where the white polish meets the pink nude one

Step 4. Add a silver gem to the middle of the brown. Add a top coat, I used OPI - Original Nail Envy which results in an amazing shine

And repeat this for all nails and you're done =)

Forever 21 Nail Polish + Sally Hansen Polish

So earlier, I posted a review about the Sally Hansen Nail polish. And being my lazy self and wanting to try out the $1.80 nail polish from forever 21, I decided to just paint on top of the polish. The colours were similar anyway, and I decided that the outcome wasn't too bad.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails (180 Set in Stone) Polish Review

Lately, I've been having this thing for collecting pale pink Nail Polishes because it looks so feminine and girly.
A few that I bought lately were the OPI Romantic Series Mini Polishes, and then the Nubar Pink Polish.
Today, I was with a friend in Wal-mart (again) and I saw this pretty pink Sally Hansen Nail Polish in 180 Set in Stone for only $2!!!!!!!! Awhile ago, I promised that I'd give up on buying those inferior quality nail polishes and start buying OPI polishes. But @ only $2, and a pretty colour, I couldn't resist So I immediately went home to redo my polish, and the result is this:

Now, this is after putting on 5 coats, because the first coat goes on pretty transparent, like as if you're wearing no polish at all but a clear topcoat. It dries really shiny and the colour is great =). I like it, but I don't like it enough to purchase it at the same price as an OPI polish.

At first, I really thought I would love this nail polish because the matte finish was really cool, but then it disappeared after one hour =(

Fast Way To Dress Up Mono Coloured Nails

Are you always tired of having the mono colour on your nails and yet at the same time, you don't feel like taking the time to draw designs on them? If you have very little patience like me, then you would definitely want to read on:

To start off, you need 3 things:
a. your favourite nail polish
b. nail decals
c. top coat

Here, I'm using Nars Nail Polish in Temptation, Rimmel 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine in 581 Clear Polish and Black Flower Nail Decals

1. First, just paint your nails with your favourite polish as usual. Wait for them to dry.

2. Next, carefully remove the decals from the backing (be careful with this, because they may rip) and place on nails

3. Place the top coat to seal in the decal

And there you have it! You can be creative with this, you can use these decals alone, or use a same coloured nail polish as the decals and paint only the tips =)
