Day 5 of Nail Art Challenge; #12 Something Quirky?


Really sorry for the late post! I did do one set of nail art yesterday but was really dissatisfied with it. Thus, I didn't take a picture of it. This set that I did today is to replace yesterday's. The black strips aren't very neat but its the best I can do for now (till I get proper brushes). Do let me know what you think of this set!

Day 4 of Nail Art Challenge; #11 French Manicure with Polka Dots


Today's nail art is featuring a french manicure with polka dots on it and 2 flowers on the index and middle finger! I have to say, this is definitely not one of my finest work. This is my third time giving myself a french manicure and am still not getting the hang of it =( I do hope to be able to do perfect it soon. 

PS: I initially wanted to do a manicure base on the color black but I screwed it up big time. Lets hope I can come up with something less sweet soon!

Day 3 of Nail Art Challenge; #10 Too cool for your ordinary leopard print

First of all, lets assume today is Saturday and not Sunday. I went out till late and didn't have time to paint a new set of nail art. Anyway, this is my second time painting leopard prints on my nails and it turned out better than expected (though i still kind of hate it). I am not really into leopard print nails but I really wanted to try something different than my usual cutesy or simple nail art. Do let me know what you think! I have to say though leopard print nails are not for everyone. 

But hey, though I dislike leopard print nails, I really love Alexander Wang's leopard print clutch(: 

PS: I will definitely be doing another set later today, probably something simpler and not as loud.

Day 2 of Nail Art Challenge; #9 All things colorful


I AM SO HAPPY WITH TODAY'S NAIL ART! It is so freaking cute! (pardon my over enthusiasm.)
But seriously, I really love this set of nail art! I was going for something different for my index and middle finger but it didn't turn out well. Thus, I decided to change it and did a french tip with summer fruits on it.

This is probably my most colorful set of nail art and I am so happy with it! Do leave me comments on what you think. You can say you hate it; different people like different kind of nail art perhaps cute is not your thing.

PS: I really can't bare to clean this off and do a third set tomorrow! (this is way too cute to only have on for a couple of hours)  ='(

Day 1 of Nail Art Challenge; #8

Today is day one of the Nail Art Challenge and I tried a new technique of painting my nails called water marble. This is my second attempt at water marbling the first attempt was a complete failure! It was kinda hideous. Anyway, it took me 4 hours to complete both hands, which I guess is normal for a first timer? I have watched a couple of videos before trying this out and it took others less than 30mins to get it done. So I guess practice makes perfect. 

I am not too sure if I am going to use this technique again. Firstly, because it is so troublesome and requires a lot of patience. Second because I am kinda bad at twirling the nail varnish to get a nice design before dipping my finger into the water. 

Oh well, you never know, I might try it again, but definitely not anytime soon. 

PS: feel free to give me suggestions on what kinda nail art you would like me to try(: 
PS/PS: I am kinda excited about this 14 days challenge!!

Back!

=DDDDDD
Exams are officially over! 
My second year in uni has been really though, and my exams did not go as well as I wanted it to. I think the worse part of my second year was finding out that I failed my individual project. I got 33 marks for it. I have no idea what went wrong but right now, I am crossing my fingers and praying that I will pass all my modules to get to third year. 

My uni has this policy that does not allow us to repeat a year so, I have to pass all my modules or else I will be kicked out. I really hope everything goes well! 

Anyway, it's all done. All I can do now is wait for my results to come out and pray that everything goes well(:

Because I am going to Berlin with a couple of friends from 9-14 June and afterwhich, I will be living with my brother for a bit, I won't be able to blog as often. Thus, to make up for that, I am going to challenge myself to paint a different set of nail art on my nails everyday. And to ensure that I am not cheating or whatsoever, I am going to post the design I have attempted everyday, before 12midnight (uk time). 

Oh and feel free to suggest any designs. I have a limited amount of creativity so I would really love it if you guys can give me some suggestions(: 

PS: I just came back from the gym and I feel really good after a workout. I am having issues with my weight now so I am hoping I can lose some of it before going back to Singapore. Tired of being the only fat singaporean girl around in my uni.

Nail Art Time! #7



A very simple design I did yet again, during one of my sleepless nights. I used Topshop's Green room as a base and blue glitter power. It looks like I used silver glitter instead of blue at some angles, which is what I wanted. Also because I wanted something to remind me of the sea.

My first paper is tomorrow - a killer paper, followed by another killer paper on tuesday. Wish me luck/pray for me!

Nail Art Time! #6


Couldn't fall asleep last night thus I decided to paint my nails while waiting for myself to tire out. This is actually my second time trying this design. My first attempt went horribly wrong as my hands kept shaking and it was really messy. I am pretty happy with how well it turned out this time. 

Credits to The Dailynail, where I got the design from(:
