This is my last design for 2010! Happy New Year!!!! I'm so looking forward to what 2011 will bring. I am determined to pursue a career as a nail technician and I pray I can get it moving this year!
Anyways...LOL I used a chunky silver mix and silver holographic glitter acrylic to create this design. I actually made the mix on camera so you can see how I do it. It's very easy. I also used a square swarovski crystal to decorate it.
This is my 1st New Year's design. I used lilac holographic glitter scrylic, gold holographic glitter acrylic and a chunky pink metallic glitter mix. I put a confetti mix I got from confetti.com and large pink hexagons and shred glitters in it as well.
This is the last Christmas design that I did for 2010. This is also a french manicure with the iridescent glitters. I used white green & red acrylic to sculpt the mistletoe. I honestly don't like this design and I think it's kind of ugly LOL.
Hey Y'all! I'm so sorry I didn't add the last two Christmas designs! I have been feeling soooo lazy, plus I've been playing the Sims 3 non-stop! LOL! But I will be updating today with 4 new designs. Two are Christmas and the other two are New Year's.
The first design is a white french manicure but I added some iridescent glitter to it. Then I applied gold nail art paint in swirls then applied gold ribbon. I also made a bow with gold acrylic but that looked kinda funky so I painted over it with gold glitter nail art paint... It's a lot of gold and a little hard to see. Hope you like it though!
today i bring you a band that i havent talked about before, FT Island. they have been in the kpop industry for about.. 3 years now, and yet they're still slightly underrated. because FT Island is an actual boy band group & the kpop industry is more for boy groups who dance, FT Island isnt noticed as much ... although FTI probably has some of the most talent out there. and their lead singer Hongki has one of the best voices in the kpop industry - he sings soooo perfectly live too!! ♥ anyway, let me end my ranting here & show you the mani~
this is inspired from FT Island's I Hope - which they promoted last year. yes i know, i have such bad screen caps T____T and those silver lines are supposed to be the outlines of their guitars. omg, my FT Island writing is so sloppy! my left hand was extraaa shaky :(
here's the mv:
here's my favorite FT Island song - from 2 years ago:
omg, you hear Hongki singing? <3 so awesome.
anyway, today is the last day of 2010. let me just say that 2010 was a sucky year for me & im pretty sure 2011 will be sucky as well, but i just hope that it'll be better than this year :P
Sephora had a two day private event for VIB's to shop a sneak peek of the new Hello Kitty Beauty with a full line of cosmetics and accessories. The collection launches in mid-January. Sign up here for an e-mail notification once the collection is launched.
I have the eight nail polishes to show you today. Well, seven because one of them turns out to be a clear top coat or some sort. The nail polishes costs $10 per bottle and their size is 9ml.
First off, I only bought these simply for the bottles because it is absolutely adorable. All of these colors are not unique because I've seen them around. Purple Sprinkles might be the only unique one.
Banana Cream is a pastel yellow creme 3 coats
Blueberry is a pastel blue creme 2 coats
Minty is a pastel mint green creme. 2 coats. Could've used a third
Bubble Gum is a pastel pink creme. 2 coats
Frosted Cupcake is a sheer pink frost. 3 coats
Purple Sprinkles is a sheer purple base with tons of sparkly glitter. 2 coats
Pink Sprinkles over bubble gum, minty, blueberry, and banana cream. It is a clear base coat with holo glitter
The formula for these were pretty good. I was surprise Banana Cream wasn't streaky at all. Three coats did the job. If you don't have any pastels or if you're a true Hello Kitty fanatic like I am, I would purchase these just for the bottle.
Here's what I bought from the rest of the collection..
Nail Art Stickers
Apple Balm Blotting Papers Compact Mirror Sweet Gloss in Pink Bow
Roller Ball Perfume
5 piece Brush Set
Well that's all I have for today, gotta get ready for 2011 :) Wishing you all a happy and safe new year!!

Today was a VERY long day. I didn't get much time at home tonight to do a mani, and the little time I had, I just couldn't decided what to do. I actually had another mani started and just quit in the middle, because I wasn't feeling it, lol. My brother, sister in-law and my niece and nephew are in town and I'm just soooo happy I get to spend time with them. It's fairly rare, since we don't live near one another. So my lack of time, and creativity is 100% worth it!! Anyways, sorry for the babbling, here is what I settled on. I used OPI La Paz-itively Matte, Claires 14 Karats and Sinfuls Black on Black.
OPI La Paz-itively Hot Matte, all alone
Then with Claire's 14 Karats for the Konad
I decided to add a coat of SV, so bye bye matte!
And, of course, black tips.
So I really hope you guys don't mind all my pictures, I just can never pick 1 or 2, and like to show you guys how my mani evolves, and not just the finished product. Please, though, let me know if I include too many pics, I mean after all, this blog is for you!! Thanks, XOXO
