Back! With some watercolor nails!

Here's a new post after some time - tried out something new and thought I'd share it!
By the way I'm also on Pinterest if you'd like to follow me there :)

The watercolor nails series!
So I did a share of the image on instagram and someone said it looked like paddle pop and I thought it looked the brand desigual's color. All in all, it uses some very striking color. And the reason why I choose this design was because people kept giving me nail polish and I hadn't had time to try them all! Might as well do that all in one go, ha!


Presenting to you the colors used! All the OPI ones are given
by my beloved girl friends, thank you for the love ♥
Very important items - the basic coat and top coat!

All you need to do is to get a facial sponge (no need for super
smooth types, the kind you use for foundation)
Initially I thought I might have used too
many colors but it blended yummily
As usual, a shot with the keyboard. Colors look remarkably striking!
All in all I'm happy with the results, and you can learn more about
making water color effects on youtube if you're new to the idea.
It's fairly simple!

Lady Buggies

So for some reason, I'm in love witht he lady bug prints. So I made them into nails :3

It's actually very simple and there are two ways to doing the lady bug nails: one is to pain the nails black but leave the bottom part for the red, then fill in the connecting portion with black nail art pen so that the line is nicely defined.

Another way is to pain the entire nail red, and cover the top with black and then filling up any crooked lines with a nail art pen.

Will be doing a post to talk about dotting your nails, but it's really fairly simple once you know about it! Have fun lady buggies!

Lady bug nails for the thumb and ring finger :)

Remember to add a line in the middle to
create a realistic body for your buggy!

Love the colors, really brightens the dull
rainy season!
