• its not the last afterall..

    although I said in my earlier post that I won’t be doing self-pedicures for a while.. my chipped toe nails and my busy schedule at work changed that.   I couldnt stand my chipped toe polishes (and bare nails) and I couldnt find the time to book myself a pedicure session so I attempted to paint my toes again.   increasingly difficult feat.  the dark knight.   I tried one of the new polishes that has been lying in my stash for a long long while (i still have many unused/unopened polishes!).  closer shot. I love the multi-coloured glitter of the polish but they don’t seemed to really show on…

  • me-time is nail time.

    i woke up at 7.30am today and decided that while the entire household is still in snooze land, i am going to paint my nails! at the same time, i decided to take pictures for a step-by-step tutorial. have been dying to try half moons manicures for the longest time, but had never gotten round to it.. i almost never could find the time! so here you go! I didnt cut my nails because i just trim it a week ago, so i just filed it down to neaten it.. base coat. i use seche vite matt finish nail treatment. and yup, some of my nails are peeling from the…

  • Nude nails.

    I usually don’t do nude nails because i think it doesn’t go well with my skin colour, but I had a chipped nail and I had to cut it rounded and it doesn’t quite go with the rest of the square fingers so I thought nude colored nail could cover up the flaw. Painted this after a feeble attempt at stickers, which only lasted 30mins because I couldn’t stand the sight of them, plus it was peeling away from the surface after it dried. I barely have time to paint my nails these days! Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

  • Happy new year!

    I welcomed the year with a bunch of friends at a BBQ pit near home and laughed till I had stitches. I wished the night didnt end that ‘early’ but a few of us were struggling with bladders that are almost bursting so we had to call it a night. Thank you all for the fun, you know who you are. I got home and took the opportunity to change out my nails. Couldnt decide what I wanted so I did a mishmash of designs for trial. Could I just say I have a new found love leopard prints? And oops. I forgot taking any picture cos I was so…

  • Quick trial.

    Popped by kino today so that hubby can pick up his usual magazine subscriptions. I took the opportunity to check out the nail-related books and stood there for the longest time browsing. Eventually decided to lug home 2 books and 2 magazines since there was 20% discount.. The big bonus was I got them FREE! Hubby decided to pay them for me so I feel really really loved. There were dozens of pretty design and I was so raring to paint them all but I only have 10 fingernails and 10 toenails. Besides I am really tired from the long weekend, where every single day we were out and about.…

  • Sparkly Christmassy manicure.

    I did a sparkly manicure for Christmas after all! Well, something happened earlier and my manicure was all RUINED. It was supposed to be a happy event.. I was unboxing another box of nail polishes that just arrived today but one of the bottles broke and it was a mess. This was my hands after I attempted cleaning up. Before that, I didn’t even dare to touch my phone to snap any pictures. So yeah, my polka dotted French manicure is gone. I just spent the last hour doing another quick manicure (and matching pedicure). I did attempt to draw snowflakes but gosh, I don’t really have a steady hand…

  • Polka dot French manicure.

    I’m sorry that I didn’t do the Christmas nails as requested! I didn’t had the time to really trial the nail art and the one that I do attempt to try on a single fell flat because my nail polish was too translucent and there wasnt any depth in the colors and didn’t turn out christmassy at all. But, I had to change out my nails because I had a wedding to attend so I did a simple French that was really fast and quick and tried out the new dotting tool that I got, courtesy of evonnz. The tools, polishes and all. I skipped the base coat step, since…

  • The mail.

    This came in the mail today, courtesy of evonnz. I happen to win the nail polish in one of her giveaway and am really really excited to get the dotting tool as a bonus. Because, it just makes whatever nail art that I wanna do much easier. Can’t wait to try it out.. Meanwhile, let me get back to my chores. Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

  • Unboxing my box of goodies.

    My uncle arrived last night because it’s my granduncle’s birthday today and we all traveled up south to msia to celebrate the occasion. Anyway, I must say the past few days has been rather shitty. My work laptop crashed non stop and my IS couldn’t fix it and I had to back up my entire hard disk so that they can reformat it. Unfortunately, it was a busy weekend for me with a roadshow happening so it was kinda madness in some sense. Well, i brought my laptop home (but i have yet to find the time to do it). Then, when I got home.. I heard news of grandma…
