Mickey & Minnie

So I just came back from a visit to my aunt's and I thought I'd show off the nails I did just for the trip. That whole family loves Mickey Mouse and Disney, so I decided to do Mickey and Minnie themed nails. I'm pretty happy with them but the Minnie nail didn't turn out the way I wanted, oh well.

Colours used: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - "Cherry Red", "White On", "Black Out".

Wow, Fantastic Baby!

Okay so for today's design I chose to do another Kpop post: Big Bang's "Fantastic Baby". Now I know this is kind of late seeing as the song came out way back in March but I had a lot of other designs planned and I admit I have a slight tendency to do the newest design I've thought of instead of going back to old drawings. Nevertheless, I have done the nails and I am loving them! They make me want to put "Fantastic Baby" on repeat again.

So in order starting at the thumb: The traditional Korean lions, G-Dragon's throne, "Stop Music" sign, G-Dragon's suit and hair, T.O.P's suit. (Took forever to get the lions' faces)

Colours used: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - "White On", "Grey Area", "Sun Kissed", "Blue Me Away". Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - "Silver Sweep". Avon - "Blue Lagoon". Revlon - "Moss". Ardene - "Heavy Metal". Essie - "Mink Muffs". Joe - "Wave Vague". Milani - "Awesome Orange". Witchcraft - "Sky Blue". Icing - "Burning Sunset".

I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham...

Yup you guessed it, today's nails are inspired by Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham". I remember reading this as a kid and it was always my favourite story by him so I've decided to pay homage to this classic. I've chosen to used the iconic character, Sam I Am, and his extendable hand because that's the most memorable part of the story for me.

Colours used: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Going Green", "White On". OPI "Black Onyx". NYC "Madison Avenue".

Kpop: 2NE1 "I Love You"

For today's design I have taken inspiration from 2NE1's new music video "I Love You". Every girl has amazing nails but unfortunately, I don't have the tools to recreate the other designs. I technically couldn't do Minzy's either because she has acrylic pearlescent flowers but I got pretty close because they were just too pretty. I just substituted the pearlescent flowers with white flowers.

Here's the video, it's a great song and the outfits are amazing.

Here's a close-up on the nails.

Welcome Back With "Haus of Gaga"

I'm back! Sorry I have been away for so long, between exams, final projects and applying for universities, I have had no time to update the blog. I feel so bad that I have been away for almost four months. Good news though, I'm back and since it's summer, I am free (For two months). So to kick off my return, I'm gonna post my Gaga nails! I felt inspired by all of her crazy outfits and wanted to pay tribute to her.

I took inspiration from her "Poker Face" nails, "Telephone" outfit, meat dress, "Judas" album art and her infamous disco stick.

Again I am so sorry for the long wait but I am back and will try and post every few days.

Our Solar System Nails

Hi! Today's nails are: Space! There was another Instasgram contest and the theme was space. I didn't want to do the typical Galaxy nails that were already flooding the entry page so I decided to do our Solar System instead. Unfortunately, I couldn't put Pluto as it is no longer a planet (it still is in my heart).

And yes, Uranus does have a ring, it's just really really small.

Colours used (excluding base & top coat): Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - "Disco Ball", "Blue Me Away", "Crushed". Sally Hanson Hard As Nails - "White Tip". O.P.I - "Black Onyx". Nicole by O.P.I - "One Voice". China Glaze - "Secret Peri-Wink-Le". ICING - "Posh Princess". Essie - "Mink Muffs". Revlon - "Ocean", "Gold Coin". NYC - "Sidewalkers". Avon - "Lagoon". Rimmel Lasting Finish - "English Rose".

Anime Nails: Fairy Tail

Sorry for no post on Sunday, I had a pretty hectic weekend (too much homework!). Anyways, I made another themed design but instead of Kpop or Jpop, it's Anime themed! More specifically, Fairy Tail. This show is great! For any anime fans out there I definately recommend this show. It's a magic-based anime about a young wizard, Lucy, who uses keys to summon spirits to fight bad guys. Along with Natsu, a fire wizard, Grey, an ice wizard, and Erza, a wizard with the ability to summon any weapon/armour, she fights bad guys and saves the world. And before you think it's a really girly show it actually isn't. There's some light adult humor and quite a bit of fighting. It's made by FUNimation so if you guys want to check it out, they have all of the episodes (both sub & dub) on their youtube page (located here). Enough of that, on to the nails!

The index finger is one of Lucy's keys, specifically Taurus (yes they're Zodiac keys). The middle finger is the official Fairy Tail symbol. The ring finger is the character Happy, a flying, talking cat. The pinky is the pattern of the scarf that Natsu always wears.

Colours used (excluding base & top): Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - "Bubble Gum Pink", "Blew Me Away". Sally Hanson Hard As Nails - "White Tip". Sally Hanson Insta-Dri - "Quick Sand'. O.P.I - "Black Onyx". Nicole by O.P.I - "One Voice". NYC - "Madison Avenue". Witchcraft Nail Art - "Sky Blue".
