Braided Nails

Braided nails has been an on-going trend. It's easy to do and looks cool! Instead of doing all four nails with braids (I felt it was a little too much), I decided to do the braid as an accent nail. I really like the colour combo! I used OPI Your Royal Shine-ness as my base colour, OPI Suzi's Hungary Again! and Faceshop PP409 for the alternating braids. The Faceshop colour is actually a pearl base purple but it appears a little more to blue in the photos.

Purple Sparkles

Loving the purple/gold holo glitter polish from Color Combos! Problems with such polishes (faceshop, other korean brands etc) is that they don't have a name like OPI, China Glaze, Essie etc did. Names are easier to remember and more funky!

Anyways, I used Essence Ballerina's Charm as base colour and the holo gliiter is Color Combos CMT301. I added silver hex glitter to better define the "waves", if you can tell. LOL.

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

I would say I have a love and hate relationship with this nail polish. The colour was gorgeous but it's so hard to put on! It was streaky and show drag lines. I had two thick coats on with SV top coat. Its funny how this polish dries kinda matte and it does not look nice without top coat. Top coat actually smooths it out and makes it less streaky and made the colour pop. The formula is on the thicker side and the colour is like a pinky coral neon. I used it for one of my recent nailart and got a lot of comments on how nice this colour is so I decide to give it a swatch review! I also had trouble taking the real colour of this colour! Nevertheless, a very summery colour!

Flowers

Frankly speaking, I had no idea what flower I was going to draw and I just randomly picked out some colours. I don't even think they'd match! So I start to doodle and got this finished product! I'm pretty glad with my colour selections! And man, this is an easy nailart to do and looks really pretty!

I noticed that most of the times I do floral nails that are sweet and girly tone of colours, so I decided to go a little bit different and chose the brown family as my base colour. These are the colours that I don't usually reach out for but I can see myself wearing this again.

Here's the nail polishes that I used to create this nailart:
Left to right: OPI Suzi's Hungary Again!, China Glaze Something Sweet, Faceshop GR502, Essence L.O.L, Essence Cookie Love and Essence Wanna Say Hello.
Oh, I layered China Glaze Fairy Dust on top of Essence Wanna Say Hello (index & pinky).

Blue for Autism Awareness

April's Autism Awareness month and blue is the colour for this awareness campaign. I just bought this Etude House nail polish the other day and I'm loving it so far. Its a light blue creme polish with big & small glitters in it. There are gold, bright blue & royal blue hex glitters, small gold square glitters and tiny blue round glitters.

The consistency is not too thick nor thin. It applies a little sheer on the first coat but with two coats it was fine. Same problems with other multi-glitter polishes, placement of glitters must be done manually. If you scoop too much glitter on the brush, it will look like chunk of glitters overlapping each other. Not nice I would say. Slow and steady wins the race! Once again, korean polishes had no names so this is number PPP503.
