I *Heart* Guts nail art

This was inspired by Bakerella when i saw a post where she made some cute kidney cake pops *squeak*. And this is how I got to know the website called I Heart Guts where the illustrator is obsessed with internal organs. And I, a sucker for cute characters, can't resist doing this on the nails.

"Make friends with your glands" and take good care of them. *Wink*

*Cheers*

Crayon Shin Chan Nail art

As I promised before, the next nail art would be the perverted Shin Chan requested by thenailaholic. 

 If you don't know Shin Chan. he is one of the famous character in Japanese manga. This was one of the manga I started to read before I got into japanese animation. Thanks to my lovely sister who never failed to buy every single time when it came out every 5 month.

You can also watch the full animation here! Or a funny clip below =D

What do you think? Funny or not? >.<

*Cheers*

Born Pretty Store Review

Most of you heard about Born Pretty store and for those who haven't, this is an online store that sells all kinds of nail art supplies ranging from acrylic system to makeups. Whatever you can think of, they have it! Recently, I was given the opportunity to review some nail art products for them. Oh and the nail art brushes that I mentioned before in this post was also bought from this store and I've been using them for more than a year now. As for this review, I chose 144 Swarovski flatback SS10 Clear Crystal.

Description of the item:
100% Brand NEW Genuine Gorgeous Swarovski Crystal Rhinestones in original factory packing
Swarovski foiled flat-back crystals are foil backed, which gives them Superior Glitz, Glamour and Shine!
Size: SS10
Quantity: 144 pieces

The video below to show you the blingness!


The crystals are about 2.2mm wide in diameter. They also come in many different sizes and different colors.

For nail art that needs extra *Sparkles sparkles*, I do highly recommend this.
Tip: using a thick top coat on the crystals will kinda blur out the edges. So, either use a very thin layer of top coat or stick on the crystals when the top coat is half dry.

Did you say:"144 pieces of Swarovski crystals for 7dollars only!?"
Oh YES!!  What a bargain! I would definitely purchase more of these not only for nail art but also to accessorize my gadget. =D
 
They were also kind enough to offer my readers 10% off coupon code!! Be sure to check out their store for more awesome nail art supplies!

Thank you Jayce for sending me the products to review. The review above are all honest opinion of mine.

*Cheers* >.<

piCture pOlish Blog fest- Flirt

Thanks to the Canada postal strike, all my mails had been delayed including this package from piCture pOlish. But I'm glad that it arrived in the mailbox in one piece this morning.


About piCture pOlish,

piCture pOlish was created when two girls dream't of giving their family & friends a thank you gift that would capture a special occasion. What better way to relive a moment than with a personalised nailpolish, that was quirky & vibrant, that stands out from the rest!
piCture pOlish has now grown to include our own brand, with a beautiful range of fashion forward colours. Every shade tells a story!

I was given the opportunity to participate in this blog fest and the shade that I get to review is called Flirt. (Warning you may get loads of attention!!) Like the description says, its a HOT and SPICY color especially for summer! Under the sunlight it appears to be bright pink, but in the shade it looks like dark pink/purple. 

This is my first piCture pOlish polish and I have to say I'm very impressed with how smooth the application is. The only problem I had is that the drying time takes a bit too long. Other than that, this bright neon pink only requires 2 coats and dries matte.

After applying a coat of black and silver shatter and a layer of glitter polish after 2 coats of Flirt, the color stands out even more!

How can I not do some nail art using this shade? >.< Some hand-drawn roses and lace to give it a sweet princess look.

You can purchase this from their website here for $9.90 and they do ship internationally too!
 

 Misty approved this color!! <3

Cheers!!!

My Melody nail art

Long long long overdue post, I know I know >.< but I had to finish all my assignments and exam before I have time to do nail art. So forgive me *wink* So, this was a request from Minnie from Mini Nail Blog, My Melody. Unfortunately, my hand became rusty after I stopped drawing a few weeks ago and it was shaking alot. And thats why My Melody looks like a snowman. Sigh.

Rainbow glitters(again), just because I LOVE glitters. ^_^

Thats all for now!! and the next in line would be Crayon Shin Chan. So stay tune, LOL!
*Cheers*

Secret Weapon and tutorial

Nah, its a secret weapon everyone has. But mine is a MODIFIED weapon and I shall tell you why.*evil laugh* But first, let me show you my base army: OPI base coat, that prepares everything before the war starts. I've not try any other base coat other than this so I cannot tell you which is the best. At least it works for me. As for the top coat, i think everyone would have to agree with me that Seche Vite is the holy grail of topcoat.

Now onto the "Commander": I hired him at a very cheap price, like a dollar or so from ebay and he works really hard for me (sometimes OT too!) LOL. This is the usual brush you see selling on ebay  except I kinda trim the hair abit to have even thinner stroke.

Comparing normal brush with my brush.

Note: I ONLY use nail polish for all my nail art because thats the reason why I buy nail polish: to use them =) And by mixing different nail polish to achieve the color I want, I sometimes accidentally "fraken" some interesting color and effect too!

Now the Gloomy Bear tutorial request by MaryBeth.

I usually do tutorial when people request for it even if only 1 person ask for it. So feel free to ask me if you are interested in it. =D

Kiki and Lala Nail art

After all the hectic exam and assignment period, I had some time off to do nail art. Hello Kitty is probably the last on my to-do list but Kiki and Lala is the next eventhough they are from the same family.

The inspiration came from this picture I found on google image.

I will have the gloomy bear nail art tutorial coming up next. And more nail art coming soon.
Before that, What character would you like to see next on my nails??? =D

Canucks nail art

Very dissapointed, not because Vancouver lost the game, but because of the riot that happened in downtown after the final game. Vehicles was set on fire, fighthing, stabbing, window smashing and looting while the police tried to control the crowd by shooting tear gas everywhere. Very embarrasing and shame on you, rioters!

Speechless and heart broken. Sigh. But still we all know Canucks team did their best. =)
