Nail Art Tutorial – Formal Prom Nails to match your dress for Short & Medium Nails

admin — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 02:21:22 +0000

Do your own nails for prom girls (or guys. i heard the other day that guys wear nail polish too nowadays hehe this is for you tooo i wasn’t that surprised when i head it . apparently all the guys that live in L.A gets their manicures done on a regular basis. so i thought hmmm nail polish is not that far stretched then. Sorry i’m getting side tracked.

This design is simple and easy to do. You can use this concept for other colors to match your dress (or suit lol or maybe just your tie).

You know, i would be really impressed if a guy did their own cufflink designs to match my dress color lol maybe it will become a new trend muahahahaha

Nail Art Tutorial – Sleeping Bear-UT (Beauty) for short nails

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:38:07 +0000

When i had the design in my head, i thought it would be super cute and super easy. 5 Dots for the bear head plus 2 for the paws. i thought my dotting skills would manage that no problem. But when i filmed it, it took more than 7 dots. Mostly because the Dots were all different sizes and my tools don’t have that kind of variety so it took a bit longer to do. i’m not so confident with my drawing skills. What was i thinking anyways if i wanted super easy i should have just gone for the Konad. hehe but they dont have a bear design yet…and i only have 3 image plates. hehehe

I mostly have Missha Nail Polishes and a bunch of 2 way nail art pens. Because i live in Australia and brands like OPI China Glaze Essie are not readily available here so i have to order everything online. I am getting more colors soon so can’t wait.

Nail Polish / Art / Deco Collection

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:05:00 +0000

I finally made an update ^^
this has been requested a lot of times for so long, and I havn’t had the chance to make it + I often get small new things in the mail that I’ve ordered online, and I was trying to get everything in the video… even though I didn’t quite succed at that point, I’m still waiting for a few things….

I really tried to make a live recorded video, but I didn’t want to just ramble off prices, and it sounded stupid when ebay was repeated all the time
but I hope you like it, and I tried to write most of the purchasing information ^^

a couple of my fave sellers on ebay:

Where I get the acrylic molds:

Designer Inspired: Gucci Nail Art Design

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:53:57 +0000

This is the first video in my designer series
It’s easier to do it on someone else ;D
I know you need a good amount of patience to do it, but the result is really pretty and cute (I think)
if you have a wish for any special brand feel free to request. I’ll def. be doing the ones like coach, chanel, D&G, and I’ll also see if I can come up with something for Tommy Hilfiger ^^ I might also do Ed Hardy, but that’s probably going to be even more timeconsuming than this one

So far so good, now I just need to fix the winner announcement as fast as possible
this design should be fairly easy to do, and doesn’t need that many different colours! ^^ you can make it any colours you’d like. the butterfly is meant for the ringfinger, but you can do it on any nail/nails.
Hope you like it.
