Ice-cream Drip Nails

My friend, Jessica, found a photo of ice-cream inspired drip nails and asked me to try it out. And here it is! First I painted the base white and used OPI Suzi's Hungary Again to paint the tips. Using a dotter, I dotted the drips and attached them back to the painted nail tips. Using a small brush, I took the glitter from OPI Polka.com and placed them on the 'drips'. There you have it! Ice-cream drip nails.

Minions!!

Its minion madness once again with the new Despicable Me 2 film out in theatres. My friend posted a video tutorial and asked me to try it out. And here it is. Minion on my nail. Haha!

Christmas Nails!

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. There's something so festive and joyful about it. :)

Anyway, this year I had requests from my friends to do their nails for them, so I came up with a few rough designs, some with reference to online sources. 

This design is based on a snowy theme. There's a snowflake on the thumb, a snowman on the middle finger and icicles on the pinky. The alternate dark and light blue was my friend's idea, and it turned out really nice! I feel that the dark blue does give more contrast to the design. 

This set of nails was inspired by a photo of reindeer nails I saw online. I thought having the reindeer face on the nail was really cute. But I didn't want every nail to have a reindeer face, so I added the antlers. Initially, I left the middle nail a plain white, but my friend wanted the silver glitter stripes. Turned out it really looked more festive after adding the stripes. Both the pinky and thumb are just a plain brown (OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know).

DAY 11: Polka Dots

It was my bestie's 21st birthday yesterday, and her theme was polka dots. So I did this set of nails, for her birthday and it falls in line with the theme for DAY 11 of the nail challenge.

I first painted two coats of OPI's Isn't That Precious?, followed by a blue polish from faceshop on the tips. Using a dotter, I used OPI's Mummy Knows Best to create the dots. With a stripper brush, I used OPI's Last Friday Night (Katy Perry Collection!!) to line the tips. And TA-DA!! Polka dotted tips are born!

Rilakkuma Nails

I have a few friends who are crazy about Rilakkuma and I thought it would look pretty cute on the nails. I've seen some shops selling files or notebooks with the Rilakkuma face like that and decided to try it out on my nails. I know many people have already done similar designs or maybe even the same, but I just couldn't resist trying it myself since my friends were so crazy about it.

The yellow polish is borrowed from my friend, Joanna, it's OPI Need Sunglasses?. The brown is OPI's Wooden Shoe Like To Know ? mixed with a little Need Sunglasses?. The cream colour is attained by mixing white polish with Need Sunglasses?. The orange is OPI He's My Boo.

I took the photo before I cleaned up the sides of the nails, so it is a little messy. The one below is taken after I cleaned up the sides and there you go. Rilakkuma nails!

This design actually looks better on shorter nails. For longer nails, I suggest drawing the faces horizontally instead of vertically. Else the faces would end up looking kinda long, which was the mistake I made. Who says short nails can't look pretty! :D

Froggy Nails! (feat. Joanna)

These froggy nails belong to my friend, Joanna. Quite a while back, we saw some fimo sticks in a shop and she found this frog really cute. So she bought it to try.

Cutting the stick to have thin and even slices were really tough! In the end we only managed to get thicker slices but at least they were complete. Quite a few had an eye missing or half a frog.

Pretty cute eh! :D
