I'm back + Friend's wedding nails

Hi everybody, so sorry that I had been away for so long. The truth is.. I had been really busy lately with the renovation of my new house, and I just came back from a 3 weeks long holiday in the United States. Hopefully with the new house almost ready and my holiday over, I will have more time to work on my nails and blog moving on. :)

A throwback of my nails that I did for my friend's wedding early this month. I went for a gold and baby blue theme to match my handbag for the day!

For the blue base, I used China Glaze At Vase Value which is a pretty unique minty blue creme polish, and topped it with Essence Make It Golden. I quite like this combination though I would probably prefer if there are lesser of the small gold shimmers.

As for my middle and ring fingers, I went with Zoya Solange which is from their old pixie dust collection.

What do you think of my nails? Is it too plain for a wedding dinner? For me, any color or style is forgivable since I'm not the bride.. :) (I'm only referring to the nails)

Simple French Tips

Sorry for disappearing for such a long time.. I'm still painting my nails, I just got really lazy in taking photos of them and posting them up. =P Quite a few times I really wanted to post about my nails but didnt take any photos until it started to chip.. -.-"

Anyway I just did a simple french tips today, hope you'll like it. I also used fimo for the first time! Yes, I'm slow.. I know.. =P

Fimo confuses me. I dont know if I'm supposed to put top coat over it as it's kind of 3D and pops up (not sticking entirely to the nail). I didnt put top coat for this as I have a really strong feeling it'll destroy the manicure and I'm pretty determine to post this 1 up so I dont want to spoil it.

The fimo looks like it'll fall out any moment though..

See you peeps next time! Hopefully I'll get the feeling to start posting regularly again. Chaos!

Lava Lamp Nails!

This is a manicure inspired by this tumblr post I saw! Thought that it's really cute and I really have to try it!

Sorry for the tipwear and nail growth though! I actually had this manicure on for a week before I took a picture of it. I'm in a reading mode these days and can hardly take my eyes off a few books that I'm reading.

I promise I'll do more nail art and post more pictures once I'm done with reading! :)

'Minnie' Nails

Don't my nails today look very Minnie Mouse inspired? I didnt actually had Minnie in mind when I picked out the colours but this whole mani really just screams 'Minnie' - especially with the white acrylic ribbon!

The red polish used in this mani is 'Red Lights Ahead.. Where?' from OPI's new Holland Collection. I didn't think I would love this colour, but I do! 'Red Lights Ahead.. Where?' is a slightly coral red with a fantastic formula and coverage. I only used one coat for this polish and it's just so opaque! It applies really smooth like butter as well! Love it!

Was really busy making nail polish jewelries this week so there wasn't any new posts.. But I already have quite a few nail polish combinations and comparisons on my to do list. Hopefully I'll be able to find the time to do & publish them soon! :)

Double Tips

Felt like doing something with Easter feel since it's around the corner but didn't really want to do something complicated so I decided to just go with some pastel colours.

Double french tips in the prettiest baby blue (Essie Borrowed & Blue) with OPI Planks Alot & acrylic ribbon on pointer finger. It's a little weird to have my pointer finger as the accent finger, but I forgot about wanting to have an accent finger again & painted all the other fingers already. Oh well..
