Day 2: Silver. #new31DNC
Day 2 calls for the color Silver! So The Boy gave me the cutest pattern to paint over it. Say hello to some flower power! Ok ok that was lame. Here they are~
Day 1: Black & White. #new31DNC
So I'm thinking I should finally get around to finish the 31 day nail challenge. What better way to revive the blog! I seriously hope I'll be able to see this through. I've acquired the help of The Boy to keep me in check, so fingers crossed! >v<
.vintage flowers + glitterati nails.
So The Boy has been very helpful in giving me ideas for nail arts lately. 2weeks back he wanted to see something floral, so I searched for some floral tutorials on Pinterest and found Wondrously Polish Vintage Flower Tutorial. Perfect! Plus, The Boy was happy with them too! Score! :D
Polishes used were:
Base - Ulta3 Lemon Tart
Acrylic Paints in Red, Light Green & Light Blue for arts.
And for this week's nail art, he wanted to see something sparkly. So here it is. p/s - he's happy with this one too. :D
Polishes used were:
Base - Hard Candy Mr. Right
Glitter - China Glaze Electrify
.triangles + squares.
Haiiii!
It's been awhile, I know.. This NOTD was inspired from a brainstorming session I had with The Boy. For base, I used OPI Samoan Sand, Ulta3 Tahiti for the squares and Revlon Red (can't find the exact name.. sorry) for the triangles. :D Hope you like them! Simplicity is what I'm aiming for right now. Cheers!

12 Days of Christmas, 5th Dec : Christmas Candy
Good morning! :)
So far so good! I've been able to keep up with the Christmas challenge, yay! :D without further ado..
Pretty simple right? I used up a good 2 hours to get this done. -___- drawing with my right hand comes naturally (of course, being right handed), but when it came to drawing with my left hand, I think it took me about an hour or so. Ugh, I really need to practice drawing more with my left hand. Ok rant over, polishes used were Cult Nails Mazo and Essie Shine of The Times. I am definitely loving Shine of The Times! I need to get more of this polish soon.
Alrigrhty, until Dec 7th, thanks for visiting! Oh! Head on over to Nailed it NZ to see more of the Christmas challenge! plus, she's having a massive crazy ass giveaway right now, so yeah, click on the button on the right side of my blog to enter. Good luck! :D
12 Days of Christmas, 3rd Dec : Christmas Wrapping Paper/Presents
Selamat Pagi! (Translates to good morning in Bahasa Melayu) :)
Here's another simple nail art interpreting the Christmas Wrapping Paper/Presents from me. Honestly, I had other ideas for this, but didn't have the right nail polish available, boo.. Nearly gave up but in the end decided to just go ahead and do this.
Yeap, the design on my right hand is upside down. Haha, anyways I hope you like it. Thanks for visiting. :)
12 Days of Christmas, 1st Dec : Christmas Tree
Good morning,
I know I haven't been keeping up with blogging but I'm going to try my best. :) I have today a simple nail art. Recently while surfing online for some nail art ideas, I came across a 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge. Here is the list: *this list is from Nailed It NZ, From L&P to English tea.. and agirlwithsomeclothes. Thanks ladies! :D*
I've gotten a friend of mine to join me in this so that I won't bail on it halfway through. >.< and I wanted to make this challenge really simple for me as I've got limited time to do nail arts nowadays. :( So, I told myself to just do the arts without using any nail polish. Think nekkid nails with arts on it. My nekkid nails are a sore sight so I'm gonna say sorry in advance for their ugliness. :p
Okay okay, on to the first day of the challenge.Ta-daaa
Simple, not so great nail art there. Haha, found the images to the trees on google so yeah, not very original of me. Anyways, I hope I'll be able to finally finish this challenge for the first time. Toodles! Thanks for visiting! :)
pandora art carnival nail art
hello lovelies!
it's been awhile since I've posted anything on this blog. I'm sorry! haha, I feel like a broken record. if you'd like frequent updates on my nails then follow me on insta! :) anyhoo~ today's nail art was inspired by the pandora art carnival we had here this afternoon. for this mani, I used china glaze snow as base and painted on the 'art' using black acrylic paint. :)
and here's the pandora poster that got me inspired! :D
I hope you guys like it! thanks for visiting and I'll see you on my next post! xo
Day 9: saran wrap
Argh! I missed a few days already! Ahh well.. I've been sick so I'm trying to catch up to the challenge as best as I can. *chayou Nikki!*
Alright, I've decided on a somewhat rasta-feel for this mani. For base I used a black nail polish, then Skin Food #7 Mai Tai, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky then finally China Glaze Four Leaf Clover. It looked awesome in my mind but maybe I should have gone with color blocking the red, yellow and green as base first then saran wrapping the black over it. Meh.. I guess I'll have to try that out next time.. I hope you guys like this! See you tomorrow! :D

Day 8: duochrome, flakie or holo. :)
Day 8 everyone! Yes!! I managed to not skip today's challenge! *pat on the back* alright! So here goes..
Today's challenge made me search my little stash for this one very awesome nail polish, drumroll please... It's A England's ASCALON!! *cheers* You might be wondering what's so special about this polish, well for starters, it's a duochrome as well as.. wait for it.. a holo!! Yes! A duochrome-ish holo!! It's somewhat a gunmetal grey polish with purple flash. The holo aspect in this polish isn't as strong but it's there. It's definitely awesome and I'm glad I got this! I couldn't capture the awesomeness of this polish but head on over to Scrangie's blog via this link here: England Legends Collection Swatches to drool on more holo goodness. :D Enjoy and I'll see you again tomorrow!

Day 7: ombré or skittle. :D
I know I know, Day 7?! What happened to Day 1-6 you might ask? Well, I'm starting this challenge on day 7 as I've missed the dateline for Day 1-6. -__- and will carry this on till February. Confused? I hope not. :D
Anyways, for day 7 on the *new* 31 day nail challenge, we had to create an ombré or skittle mani. I decided I wanted to do the skittle challenge as doing an ombré one takes a longer time to do. Meh.. I'm more into simple mani's nowadays. :)
Colors used from thumb to pinky were The Skin Food Pedicure Vita #7 Mai Tai (Red), OPI Tattoo You Want Candy? (Orange), China Glaze Happy Go Lucky (Yellow), China Glaze Four Leaf Clover (Green) and lastly, China Glaze Flyin' High (Blue). And then of course I had to add something, I did random geometric designs on each nails using Acrylic Paint in Black and White. :D topped it off with topcoat and voila! Although if you look closely, you'll see some bumps, scratches and unevenness on all nails because I did this mani in the wee morning hours and went to sleep right after that. Boo!
I really like how this turned out though. :D have you started on the nail challenge? Drop me a link, I'd love to visit your blog too!
P/s : I've yet to add the inlinkz to this challenge. -___- I'll try to do that for the next post. *fingers crossed*

Crumpet's Nail Tart Challenge: Candy Floss. :)
Good morning!
For today's challenge, I did a cutesy candy floss mani. :) Tee hee!
Aren't they cute? XD Notice the 'annoyed' face on the blue cotton candy on my thumb? He made that face because he was the only one who had a stick. Tee hee! Anyways, for base I used a yellow milky polish by Ulta3 and then painted on the cotton candies using acrylics. Thanks for stopping by! :D

Crumpet's Nail Tarts Challenge: Surfin' USA. :D
Hello hello!
Since I've been missing soo much of the nail challenges on the FB group, I've hopped on the wagon once again for their Summer Challenge. :D Today's challenge was Surfin' USA. I honestly had no clue about it then I Googled it and saw that it's actually a song. :D So here's my Surfin' USA mani.. >v<
Surf boards! :D You like? ^v^ So the 1st picture is what I used as base, The Face Shop in BL601 which is a really light sky blue.. I think the background of when I took the picture makes it looks more blue-er (is that even a proper word? sorry for my terrible English guys). -___- But IRL, it's actually the color as seen on the 2nd and 3rd picture. The surfboards were painted on using acrylics and then for the final touch, I used Essie- Matte About You. Look at that! I love it!! So let me know what you think about it and thank you again for stopping by. :D

Manchester United & Cute Animals nails
Hi guys!
Sorry for the unexpected hiatus. I won't get too much on it, just the usual workload + crafting + nail swatches. :)
Today I've got some nail sets to show you! Ooh boy, am I excited!! If you've been following me on instagram/twitter then you would have probably seen these. They were made for my cousin's fiancee for their pre-wedding shoot. Kat wanted a Manchester United set as well as some giraffe+piggy nail arts for her nails. Gosh! It took me about 3nights to finally get them done! >.< I have to say the Man United nails were the cause. I had to make the details as accurately as I can, courtesy of the perfectionist in me. But once they were done, I was oh so very proud of myself. :D *beams* Anyways, I managed to just take these before giving it to her. :) I hope you like them!
P/s- I'm thinking of selling some nail arts on my etsy some day but it's still in the planning. What would you guys like to see and wear? All your thoughts on this will be very much appreciated. :D
