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.
