Neutral Colorblocking

Hey Guys so sorry I was MIA all the while, today I am back with neutral colourblock nails. I recently got my hands on the color "My Vampire Is Buff" from the Euro Centrale Collection. I only got one color from that collection but I might be going back to pick up some more.. So for My Vampire Is Buff I needed three coats to smooth it out although it was pretty streaky on the first coat, the pay off was absolutely worth it! I also didn't have any color similar to it in my collection. Moving on to the pictures...





 Polishes Used Are: OPI's My Vampire Is Buff, OPI's Tickle My France-y

First I painted my nails with OPI's My Vampire Is Buff three coats and let it completely dry. After that I used tape and begin to paste it across my nail diagonally, vertically etc and paint OPI's Tickle My France-y. Then remove the tape and your done!!

February Nail Art Challenge Day 8

We meet again folks! Today is Day 8 of the challenge and today will be my last post although the challenge officially ends on Day 9. I have examinations next week and I want to focus on it so this is my very last post for this challenge. Its really sad I really had a lot of fun these few weeks while doing the challenge. Thank you to Erica for creating this challenge I really enjoyed myself and I pushed myself more in terms of nail design so  I am really grateful to her..On to today's theme, it is "Polka Dot Nails". I think that polka dots are so adorable and there are so many ways to do different types of polka dots like big, medium or small polka dots. 







Polishes Used Are: OPI's Shocking Pink ,OPI's Alpine Snow, OPI's Formidably Orange, OPI's Seriously Purple. I painted all my nails with OPI's Alpine Snow then I started with OPI's Formidably Orange in the middle and took a larger dotting tool and when I was done I moved on to a different colour and used a smaller dotting tool. Do make sure to check out the other participants nails for Day 9 as I am sure it is going to be amazing!
~Till next time..

February Nail Art Challenge Day 7

Why hi there! Guess what its already Day 7 of the challenge. Today the theme is "Inspired By A Tutorial". I went to Meliney's channel on YouTube to look for Retro Dots Nails Inverse Merging Drip Nails. I have been looking for tutorials to do the design as I saw it while surfing the net and I was in love. I really like how unique it looks. I decided to modify it a little instead of the Inverse dots at the side I decided to place it vertically.





                                             

Polishes Used Are: OPI's Chocolate Moose, OPI's Mod About You
First I painted my nails with OPI's Chocolate Moose after letting it dry I went and take OPI's Mod About You and paint half of my nail vertically downwards. Once it is dry I use a dotting tool and OPI's Mod About You and dot it on the background of Chocolate Moose. Do it for the other side as well and your done! Hope my instructions are clear but if they are not you can go and watch Meliney's Tutorial on it.

See You Real Soon!~

February Nail Art Challenge Day 6

Its Day 6 of the challenge! So today's theme is Gradient. I for one love gradient but I'm not that good at it compared to others but I wanted to try doing three colors as all along I have only been doing two colors so this time round I jumped at the opportunity and I hope you guys like it. It is not the best so do forgive me and I played around with different angles this time round so some pictures may look different compared to my previous ones. I will have four photos instead of three as I cannot decide between them..





Polishes Used Are: OPI's Alpine Snow, OPI's Riotously Pink, OPI's Ridiculously Yellow, OPI's Formidably Orange.
I painted all my nails with OPI's Alpine Snow and let it completely dry otherwise it will get smudge later on. After it is completely dry I took a makeup sponge and painted the remaining three colors in an order from top to bottom by OPI's Formidably Orange followed by OPI's Ridiculously Yellow then OPI's Riotously Pink and I top it off with a top coat to make it really blend together .

SEE YOU SOON!

Polishes Used Are: OPI's Mod About You, OPI's Alpine Snow, OPI's Strawberry Margarita
First I painted OPI's Mod About You then let it completely dry and the I went ahead and use the largest dotting tool and dip it into OPI's Strawberry Margarita and draw the hearts the bigger ones on my index, middle and pinky while for my ring finger I drew smaller hearts. Lastly I took the smaller dotting tool and went around the big hearts while for my ring finger I went ahead and did polka dots.

February Nail Art Challenge Day 4

Hello again guys! Day 4's Theme is "Inspired By A Pattern". Well for me I was inspired by the animal print pattern and I wanted to not have like the usual leopard or zebra print so I look through my stamping plates and I found one... Its unusual to me and although I don't know what print it is I decided to keep it "unknown" haha! but if any of you guys know what it is do let me know!..






Polishes Used Are: OPI's What's With The Cattitude? and Essie's No Place Like Chrome
I painted two coats of OPI's What's With The Cattitude? and fully let it dry and then I went ahead and stamp on the animal print using Essie's No Place Like Chrome and your done!

See You Really Soon~

February Nail Art Challenge Day 3

Its already the third day of the challenge whoo! Today is glitter- loaded nails, well to me glitter only means one thing lots and lots of scrubbing. Thank goodness a few weeks ago I discovered the peel off base coat and guess what it came in handy when I did these nails. Although the glitter isn't anything unique I am still really glad to go all out with glitter.I have been wanting to do it for sooo long okay enough blabbering already... time for some pictures!!




Polishes Used Are: OPI's Gone Gonzo!
I just dab on the hexagonal glitters onto my nail as I feel that it it more opaque.
Really love the overall look as its so glittery its just that it looks way toned down in pictures.. 
See You Soon for Day 4!
