Weekend Nail:Colors of Fall~

Thanks for the birthday greetings!
I was bowled over with the greetings that i received not only on my facebook but also on my email. Thank you, ladies. I feel so loved~

I decided to do a nail art to celebrate my birthday.
So this is my birthday/fall nail art. hihihi

After a long time of not being able to do a nail art tutorial, i'll be posting one..finally!

This design from from a japanese nail art magazine that i saw.. i just can't quite remember if it's Nail Up or Nail Max though.

This is a freehand design & it's not that complicated as it looks though. Here is a step by step guide of how to do both of the designs.

Let's start with the black one first~

1. On a black base, make a line by using dots. Start in the middle so that you\ll be able to get the line straight.
2. Then draw an aztec flower using diamond shapes next to each other. Click the image to make it larger for a closer look.
3. Fill it with your desired color.
4. Then draw a dotted line at the bottom of the flower.
5. To fill in the space at the sides, you can add diamond dots like in the picture.
6. Finally, using a yellow or gold polish, add dots like in the picture, also the center of the flower.

Then on to the other design...

1. Like in the 1st design, you start it with a dotted line.
2. Draw a thin W under the line, this will serve as your guide so make sure that it looks even. Start at the middle.
3. Add the triangles on each V, making sure that it won't touch the W that you made. Be precise.
4. Draw a thick W under your first W.
5. Refer to the 2nd pic of this post for the flower. Do the same steps that you did, but this time in reverse. Start with a thick W.
6. Then the thin W.
7. Don;t forget the triangles~
8. Put wide V's at the sides so that it won't look bare.
9. Finally, put a dot at the center of the flower!

See... not that difficult!
It just takes time & practice but it's definitely something that you can do!

By the way, i already have an instagram!
Yay to that!

Hope you all like it!
Have a happy day~

Pearls for your nails~

I always think of pearls as something very elegant... It's something that could compliment any fashion get-up, of course it also includes the nails. I have already talked about Swarovski Rhinestones before & i love it to bits! BornPretty was kind enough to let me try this pearls because i have planned on making bridal nail art & i always associate pearls with weddings.

That's why i can't accept the fact that here in the Philippines we have this superstition that brides can't wear pearls on their wedding day because it would mean that the woman will be crying a lot of times on her married life...
T_T
That makes me want to cry already!

Moving on, faux pearls like this is one of the best way to glam your nails up for special occasions.

This pack has 10,000 pcs of faux pearls... i think i won't be able to use all of them unless i do something crazy, but this could easily last me for a long, long  time!

This is how they look like up close...
Use it like how you use a rhinestone, make sure you top it off with top coat to seal it in place,ok?

I have made a bridal nail art using this pearls & i have received tons of compliment!

What design is the one in middle?

Just make sure that once you open the pack you transfer it in a container or in this case, a ziplock bag.

One pack is for $7.10, which again contains 10,000 pcs. Isn't it cheap?

You can order it HERE
By the way, BornPretty offers free shipping worldwide so this is really cheap! If you do order this, make sure you also include the Swarovski Rhinestones because it's one of the best that i've tried!!!

Use the code that you see on the left sidebar of my blog for a 10% off your purchase.

I'll try to do a better bridal nail art design someday,ok?
Hope you all have a great day!
