Starry Night

I'm glad I have a few friends IRL that shares the same interest as me in nail polish =) One of my good friend came back for the weekend & she kindly did mine & another's nails. I was her guinea pig for Starry Night inspired nails. Starry Night is an absolutely gorgeous painting by Vincent Van Gogh, & if you haven't seen it here's a [link] to it. This nail design was possible from following the tutorial by cutepolish on YouTube ^___^

Starry Night

The polishes used for Starry Night includes China Glaze Frostbite for the base, China Glaze Bahamian Escape, China Glaze Sky High Top, & Sinful Colors Snow Me White for the swirls, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky for the stars & crescent (my picture doesn't do justice), & Wet n Wild Black Creme. I then finished it with Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love (not pictured).

Flower Power

Hi hi hi :) I disappeared from my blog for the longest ever since I started this blog. Instead, I've just been updating my Instagram (_tingting) since it's easier. I'll try to get back into the habit of updating my blog more often.

Here is my current mani. I'm loving this very much! The flowers were a bit time consuming to make, but time went by quickly because I do my nails when I watch my Taiwanese or Korean dramas ^__^ My right hand looks like a mess, but it's bearable. Maybe I'll edit this entry later if I can find someone to take a picture of both my hands for me.

My base color is Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme, the flowers are made using a dotting tool of Wet 'n' Wild French White Creme, China Glaze Spontaneous, & China Glaze Entourage. I used Art Deco 24k Glitter for the center of the flowers & finished this mani off with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

A couple of days before, my nails looked like this.

Originally it was like this, but I wanted to adjust the flowers on my ring finger. Haha =)
