Flower Petal Manicure

 Hey there! Sorry about my inactivity this week, had to study for exams, so no time for nails...I have something for you though! A simple design of flower petals and a butterfly wing as the accent!


As you can see, I used ORLY Aspen as the base. I am adoring it right now, and is currently my favourite! The white you can see is Designer Brand French White, and the pink on the butterfly wing is Ulta3 Poppy.

I ordered some dotting tools and nail polish sticks (?) on ebay, so soon I'll have even more manicures for you guys! I bought Ulta3 Mermaid Green and Jelly Bean on Saturday, and ten other polishes (for $10, so $14 total for 12 polishes. Yay!) so look forward to swatches in the near future!

Pink Triangles

I gave myself a new mani! Yay! Not the best one I could've done, and two fingers bled when I put on the topcoat, but I already had to redo my pinky twice, so I was in no mood to redo it, especially considering my white is horribly streaky and hard to put on, but looks really nice when its dry.

 

I never thought white would look good on my nails, but apparently it does.

I'd like to take a moment to say hello to my followers, even if there's only four of you! Thanks for following me <3 There's only four because one of them is me...I wanted to see if I could follow my own blog xD

To leave off, here's another few pictures of this mani :D

Fish Art

I got a chipped nail D: Well, one already chipped, but the other chipped today. Both were the Ulta3 Pacific Fever, which is making me think it's either this particular bottle (as I've never had problems with my other Ulta3 bottles), my top coat or I've been treating my nails absolutely horribly (which I haven't).

I'm taking the chance to do some nail art with brushes now, but wielding them with my left hand, so the art came out dodgy, but not too dodgy. A bit thick, but I do like it :)
The sun didn't want to come out and play D:
 In case you can't tell (which you probably can't), I did do some "string manicure", inspired by A Nail Polish Addict's Jubilee Mani. Can't really see much of it anymore, which is a pity, because it looked really nice, albeit a bit messy because it was left hand. I didn't do my left hand because I didn't want my skin peeling off like it did on my right. Really should get better nail polish remover...


From L-R: Cutex 2in1 Base Coat, Orly Aspen, Borghese Rapido Menta, Borghese Rapido Marino, Ulta3 Pacific Fever, Ulta3 Poppy, Ulta3 Confetti and Beauty Style Petite (silver). My apologies about the stuff in the background. It's all my mess, and my mum despairs that I will ever clean it up.

Today's Haul!

I got some new polishes today! So now I'm distracted by them which is really bad because I have a maths exam tomorrow and I really should study for it...

Anyway, here they are!

Australis Sinfully Sweet and OPI Turquoise Shatter

ORLY Aspen, Rose Radiance and Walk Down the Aisle
Altogether they cost $22.94. The three ORLYs were $10, OPI Shatter $9.95 and Australis $2.99. Priceline were having a sale >3

I also got some grey eyeshadow from the new Jap store that just opened for $2.80 (originally $3.99, but they're having a 30% off opening sale). Planning to experiment with it to make a grey polish! 

I think I'm getting addicted to polish now D: But at least it's a better addiction to have than cigarettes, drugs, alcohol...yea...

My mum likes ORLY Rose Radiance and Walk Down the Aisle, but because she works with food she's not allowed to put on polish. She's promised me that when we went back to China I can buy all the polish I want (within a reasonable range). Happy~

EDIT;

Tried the shatter, but I won't show you pictures because it's on my right hand and so it's really messy and yucky. The colour's nice though :)
