Watercolour nails

I can say this is by far my favourite mani! Its simple, cool and sophisticated! It looks difficult to do but its really simple! First, I paint my nails with Sally Hansen 'Celeb City' (glittery silver) then i start to dab blue, purple and white randomly on the nails. Top it off with sparkly glitter like China Glaze 'Fairy Dust' and top it off with a fast drying top coat (I used Poshe). You can add rhinestones to glam them up! That's it!


I used Sinful Colors 'Skinny Dipping', 'Pragmatic' and a normal white polish.

Ombre Net Nails

In love with this mani! I used Essie 'Fiji' and Essence 'Absolutely Blue' for the ombre/gradient and top it off with China Glaze 'Fairy Dust'. Use striping tape to make the net pattern before you sponge the colours on and remove them when you're done! Super easy!




I added small pearls to make them look even daintier!

Ombre Rose

I'm really into ombre nails recently! They are fun and easy to do and they look pretty too! But yeah, I hate the clean up process. The nail polish remover always dry up my cuticles so be sure to put a lot of cuticle oil/cream afterwards!


Anyways, I did a baby blue & baby pink ombre background using The Faceshop "BL601" and China Glaze "Something Sweet". The roses are hand painted with acrylic paint and I added tiny silver beads on the middle & ring finger to make a heart shape. Initially I wanted to use small crystals but I ran out of them  hence the silver beads.

Purple Ombre Tribal

My first attempt on tribal nails! I had fun painting them but I have to admit it's tough! My brush wasn't the best but I try my best to make it work. The design was inspired by @coewless on IG. 


I used 3 shades of purple: Light (Eleanor "ENP078"), Medium (Sinful Colors "Pragmatic") and a dark purple with glitters (China Glaze "C-C-Courage"). I used acrylic paint for the tribal design and top it off with China Glaze Matte Magic top coat.

Silver & Gold Gradient/Ombre Nails

I love this silver & gold ombre nails! It's weird how I never thought of putting these two colours together for ombre! I think this manicure is so glam and totally suits prom, wedding and even Christmas! And it' really easy to do! I also added some gold hex glitters to the tips to make the gold underneath more obvious.


I used Sally Hansen "Celeb City" and "Golden-I" for the ombre and top the tips with Nature Republic gold glitter polish in SYL701.

Earth Day Nails

April 22nd is Earth Day. It is a day held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
I got ideas from google images and combined to get this nailart design! I did blue & green ombre nails on my  index and pinky, a heart shape Earth on the middle and a tree with the recycle logo as the leaves.


I used Etude House BL502, Nature Republic GR602 and China Glaze Fairy Dust for the ombre nails and acrylic paints for the earth & tree.

Blue Gradient/Ombre Nails

 So I have to do gradient/ombre nails for Day 13 of #nailartapr, and what's better to do then blue nails since its Autism Awareness month? I really like how this turned out. I don't normally wear blue nails but this kinda remind me of snow, like Christmas!



I used 3 shades of blue - Faceshop BL601, Essence Absolutely Blue and Essence Via Airmail. I topped it off with China Glaze Fairy Dust (always work so good with ombre nails!) and Seche Vite top coat.

Gradient Leopard

Gradient nails are so popular these days and I find them really nice to look at! Have to admit I hated the cleaning part of doing gradient nails but its pretty easy to do. I used OPI Hot & Spicy and China Glaze Peachy Keen to make my gradients. I think it looks pretty on its own but I can't help but added some nailart to it, so there's the leopard prints.


This is how they look on its own. Left is with top coat, right is with glitter polish.

Pink Ombre Hearts

Ombre nails are fun, hip & easy to do. Glam up ordinary ombre nails with sparkles and glitters to add some fun & dimensions to the nail art like the one I did below. I decided to do a Heart on the ring finger with silver sparkles outlined with gold sparkles. It can be a Valentine's Day nail too!
