Me time is nails time. A new manicure on my nails!
It’s been a while since i last did my nails! Life really got the better of me for the first few months of 2014, but I reckon that busyness is good and I have never been in a better place than now. Am happy every day and I love it!
This is probably one of the longest stretch in my life with bare nails (I usually cannot stand the sight of them), but i wore bare nails since my CNY nails! That’s like > 3 months?!
I got inspired by a random picture of someone’s manicure one day and decided to get my fingers working. I don’y really have a lot of pastels in my nail stash and I spent a lot of time trying to put together 5 colors that can pass off as pastels.
Is it nice? I’m still trying to perfect the free hand half moons, especially using gelish nail polish. Gelish polish are a lot trickier to draw than the normal ones (they do bleed quite often depending on the nail polish consistency). I just have to keep practicing!
What do you think? Do you like it?
Meanwhile, I really got to paint often to perfect that half moons and my dotting consistency. The dots are all in various sizes and all over. Now, how do I get the 2 kids out of the picture to enjoy my me-time? LOL.
Nail colours used:
1. AngelPro Gelly Polish #38
2. ProGel SuperNail Gel Polish (Yacht Club)
3. ProGel SuperNail Gel Polish (Lavender Bouquet)
4. ProGel SuperNail Gel Polish (Sea Foam)
5. AngelPro Gelly Polish #24
6. Harmony Gelish Gel Polish (Sheek White) for dotting

P.s. my hands are totally showing my age these days. I need SKII for them!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
