NOTD: Retro Nail Art - Silver & Pink

This is the first design I tried using the nail art tools i bought last week. I'm still in my learning curve and still familiarizing myself with the brushes and strokes I still need a lot of practice especially when painting with the tools using my left hand... I did not try or practice the strokes on a piece of paper, I got super excited to use the items that I painted my nails right away that's why the design is really messy lol.. I got the idea of the design while browsing photos from Google, unfortunately I wasn't able to get the link from which particular site/blog that photo was posted. I'll find it and once found, I'll post the link here...OR if anyone of you is able to find it, please don't hesitate to post the link in the comment box below...

And here's where I got the idea:

Products used:

• Bobbie basic nail hardener (base coat)
• Mwah™ Nail Color by CHIC in Glaze (Go Powquiao!)
• Basics Acrylic Paint in black
• Basics Acrylic Paint in white+red = pink
• nail art brush (stripper & detailing brush)
• dotting tool

Hope you liked it..Let me know what you think! thanks for dropping by. xoxo

NOTD: Blue & Copper/Chrome Simple Stripes Nail Art

After my Ombre nails, Now I want blue and copper/chrome combination. While browsing through the web for some cute designs, I found this Teal and Copper Tribal Nail Art (design is inspired by Beautopia). I wanted to copy the design because it's really cute!! but my chrome polish is somewhat diluted that i need to put 3-4 coats for it to be opaque :( so I just leave it as it is. Anyway, here's the result:

Products used:

• Konad nail lacquer in blue
• Klik nail polish in Frosted Iced Mocha (kind of orangey/copper/Chrome when applied)
• Konad special nail polish in Black
• Caronia regular colorless nail polish
• my very own stripper brush hihi

NOTD: Ombre nails/Sponge Nail art

On a boring day, I was just basically browsing tutorial videos on Youtube. Then I saw this cool nail art tutorial by WinterRose84 called Sponge nail art also known as the Ombre/gradient effect and I was surprised because the design is very easy to do. So yeah, got inspired by the video and checked my nail polish kit and tried it out..

It's my first attempt to create an Ombre/gradient effect on my nails..My original plan is to make the transition from blue to purple (wanted to copy the colors on the video), but it turns out to be blue to pink. This is because I used a baby pink or very light pink color as my base (since I can't find my baby blue polish)..

Products used:

• Konad nail lacquer in blue
• Wish™ nail polish in beach babe trio PURPLE & PINK (blue missing hehe)
• Caronia regular colorless nail polish
• make up sponge (you can use any sponge available at your house)
• nail polish remover
• Qtips
• tape

Hope you liked it..Let me know what you think! thanks for dropping by. xoxo

Konad Stamping Nail Art - Stone Set

Again, this is another late post as I am pretty struggling setting my blog layout for it to be user friendly and easy to navigate.

So, this was another haul after work during my nail art obsession (I usually have my nail arts done by a semi pro at the salon nearby) and i got myself a Konad Stamping Nail Art - Stone Set. The purchase was really 100% unintentional. I say unintentional because I was just literally passing by and ignoring the stall (since the first day it was released) everyday to and from work. When the lady approached me, I've decided to take a look at the stall and the sales lady offered to made a demo on my nails. Since my nails were newly polished and the girl was really nice, I nod and agreed to put it on my pinky nail only. Then she grabbed the stamp,put a little amount of polish on the image plate,scraped it and stamped it onto my nail, tadaaan! I got a cute nail!!!! I was amazed because I thought that she will grab a brush and draw some designs on my nails like what others do. Never thought on how fast and easy could that be!

And yeah I was amazed, and just realized that I was just staring at my pinky nail for I don't know how long hahaha! Because i was really thinking of the typical paint-on-nails thing and was wondering that the actual usage of equipments differ to it's actual use. Then, I started asking her the best kit for beginners and pro alike (pro?). Yeah I'm a first timer and also because it was a bit pricey then. Somewhat I was hesitant to buy but with my eyes closed, I told her that I want something that already include all necessary equipments like stamp, scraper, image plate and special polish and some accessories. So she offered me the Konad Stamping Nail Art - Stone Set. (this is how it really looks like when brand new, my kit is already messed up haha, some/more polish blots in the box)

Kit includes:

•  3 Small Special Polish (5ml) (I got black,red,white)
•  2 Image Plate
•  30 Rhinestones/point glitters and a tube like plastic applicator/stick
•  1 Scraper (steel blade)
•  1 Stamp II

Here's a closer look of what's inside the box. These photos are 100% same as the actual items of what I got (photos were taken from Konad).
