My Heart on a String

Hello Everyone,

Here's a really great nail art design for valentines day. I know, I know, it is kinda early to be talking about valentines day but Hey! who isn't excited when the topic is about love? :)

(I wasn't able to do a step by step instruction for this one. It was kind of out-of-the-blue-decision to make this one.)

Have a great day ahead everyone.

Will be posting more nail art idea soon. ♥

Zombie Nails!

I'm Baaaaack!

It's been a while since I did a nail art. Been busy and pre-occupied with a lot of things lately. New work concept to learn, changes that needs to be accepted and priorities that needs to be sorted. 

Despite all the whirl-wind emotions that I have been through this past month, one thing remains the same... That the "walking dead" is keeping me excited. hahaha..

So my nail art for today is Zombie- inspired! :)

Sorry I wasn't able to make a step by step guide for this one, but you can always check out the video version. 

Have a nice day everyone.

Spread the Good Vibes,

Cupcake Inspired Nail Art

Hello Cupcakes,

Today is a very special day because today is the birthday of my soul sister kim. :)
You can read her rants here. and more about her here. 

Although we are very much different, strange enough, we almost always get along pretty well. I don't know if we have grown tolerance around each other or we were just born to become friends.

Either way, I'm really happy we did.

Here is a fun fact though, When we first met, I don't really like her. haha.

Anyways, today's nail art is dedicated to my soul sister. ♥

Here goes:

1. Paint 1/4 of your nails with any color you wish. in this case, I choose pink. :)

2. Paint horizontal white stripes on the tips. 

3. With a dotting tool, create a cloud like, fluffy cupcake.

4. Add a red dot on top to serve as a cherry. :)

5.  Add a glitter polish to serve as the sprinkles (or use different colors of polish and a toothpick to create the sprinkles) and finish up with a top coat.

And TA-DA! 

Your Cupcake Inspired Nail Art is done. :)

Here is the video Version:

Looking at the cupcakes makes me feel kinda hungry. hahaha

To Kim, 

Happy Birthday. :) 
Enjoy your day and I am so proud of you.

No matter the distance or the circumstance, I will always be here. ALWAYS! :)

Dandelion Inspired Nail Art

As you guys have noticed, my blog is a little out of date. The reason for this is not related to how lazy I can get at times, but rather the lack of inspiration.

For a few days now, I have putting off making nail art tutorials but I have been on a constant battle with myself. To some, it may look like I lost my mind. But to few people who personally know me, it is a normal, passing stage that I am in every once in a while.

My "life-less" self took control over me.

I have to fight back! I have to win.

So, I have come up with a dandelion inspired nail art. To remind myself, that I need to let loose sometimes, not to over think things and be where the wind will take me.

The step by step and video tutorial will be uploaded soon.

To all the people who are in the same state as I am, don't let the negative vibes take control.

Much Love,

Nail Art Design #5: The Amazing SPIDERMAN!

I know! I know! I am a bit behind my blogging schedule! (A bit behind? I am almost 2 weeks absent!)


But nah! It doesn't matter, I don't a have a HUGE fan base waiting for my every blog post anyways. *insert "emo-ish" music here*


hahaha.


But I am back!
and so is the amazing spider man movie!
So today, I decided to make a spider man inspired nails!
(with the hope that spiderman fans will follow this blog after. hahaha)


Kidding aside, here is the best that I have come up with. :)

Here's a step by step procedure:


Step 1: Paint 2 of your nails red.

Step 2 : Paint an inverted triangle with the white polish. This will serve as SPIDERMAN's eyes. :)

Step 3 : Using a toothpick (because I don't have a thin brush) and a black polish, make an outline of the eyes you just created. This will make the eyes more visible and  precise.

step 4 : Make thin straight lines above the eyes. (Use a toothpick to do this if you don't have a nail art pen or a brush)

Step 5 : Connect the lines with a curve line to achieve the "net-like" look on Spiderman's mask.

Because I have small nails, I decided to paint 2 nails with the spiderman design and then the rest of the nails with a gradient spiderman associated color. 


So, for the other nails:


Step 6 :  Choose 2 nail polish. 1 in red, the other in blue. To have the gradient look, use a make up sponge. Paint the 1/2 of the sponge red and the other 1/2 blue and dab it on your nails.

Step 7 : Do step 6 until you get your desired opacity.

Step 8 : Finish off with a clear polish.

And you are done! :)




It make look REALLY complicated but it is really easy to do.
You just need PATIENCE (and a steady hand in drawing the lines with a toothpick)


I hope this post is worth the (almost) 2 weeks worth of wait. :)


Have a nice night everyone.

Nail Art Design #4: Doggie Nail Art

Less than 2 months ago, our dog died. :(
I did a post about it here. 


Today, I decided to make a nail art tutorial dedicated to cocoon.


You can choose to vary the design from one nail to the other or do one design in all your nails.

You only need these 3 colors if you wanted to do one design in all your nails

or select 3-4 brown polish to do a variation of design.

Here is the finish look.

Here is a video tutorial explaining how this is done:

Have a nice weekend everyone. ♥

Nail Art Design #3: Tuxedo Nails (A father's day tribute)

Who here loves their dad? Raise you hand. :)
*raises both hands*


Today, as a father's day tribute, I have decided to create a tuxedo nail art.

Although, my dad does not wear tuxedo often... but I opt to make this design because it is really fun and easy to do. :)


So, here goes.


The materials I used for this design are the following:
-- Black Polish
-- White Polish
-- Clear Polish
-- Dotting Tool
-- Toothpick


Let's Start!


1. Paint your nails two coats white.

2. When the nail polish is completely dry, do a french tip using a black polish.

3.  To create the bow tie, use the toothpick to draw an horizontal X then fill in the sides as shown in the picture.

4. Lastly, with the dotting tool, add 2-3 dots below the bow tie and above the black line.

Finish with a clear polish then you are done. :)


Easy Right? 
Go ahead and try it.


Don't forget to greet your father a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!


PS. Forgive the cam quality. :(


Here is a video version of the tutorial:

Happy Father's Day Papa. ♥

Nail Art Design #2: Blueberry Nails

Hello Everyone!

This is my second time to document the nail art design I have created.
(and this time, I have decided a video for this one. YAY!)

As usual, I wanted to make a design that is really simple to do.
Let me know what you think, by leaving me a comment below.

To start we are going to use the following:

If you don't have a dotting tool, you can always use a hair pin. :)

Let's Start:

Step 1 : Paint your nails two coats white. Then let dry.

Step 2 : With the green stripper, paint curve lines like you see in the picture.

Step 3 : Using a dotting tool,  put 2 - 4 circles on each nail using the darker blue polish.

Step 4 : With the smaller end of the dotting tool, make a smaller circle using the lighter blue polish.

Step 5 : Finish off with a clear polish to give your nail art that extra protection. :)

Stay Tuned for more quick and easy nail art tutorial. :)

Have a nice day everyone.
Be Blessed.
