Tried out my fimo!

Hi! I have been trying to upload everything from my to post album so here, another nail of the past! It's the first time I tried out my fimo here. 

I used Caress Blue Marine, a gray color with blue undertones. I really like this color! It's not the usual gray shade. Application was great, 2-3 coats is enough. Caress nail polishes are cheap, only 22.75php per bottle. They have a wide variety of colors. I used a dark blue Sassy Polish to create the stripes. Sassy sells nail polish that comes off with a striper brush. I think they cost 22.75php. Both Caress and Sassy nail polishes are available at Watsons and SM Department Stores.

 My thoughts on fimo? They're cute little things! Adds an instant cuteness and art to your nails. The best part of it is they are easy to work with: topcoat is enough to make it stick. How long does it stay on your nail? Well, depends on the kind of work you're doing. It does not come off easily on me, stays on my nail for a week.

What do you think about fimos?

Have a good day!

Come back post

Hello! It's been several months since I last posted here. I don't know why but..I just lost the interest of doing nail art. My nail polishes grew cold and lonely! I paint my nails once in a while but that's it. JUST PAINT IT PLAINLY. I also gave away my nail art brushes and acrylic paint because I don't think I would use it anymore. Hmmmm :|

So why am I still here? Hahaha. I still don't have the answer to that. I just felt like blogging. I am planning to turn this into a personal blog where I can post things other than nail art.

As a come back post, I will show you five nail designs which were done in the past. Here they are!


#1 Copper/Gold Glitter Nails: It's loaded with lots of glitters!

#2 Floral Nail Decals: Are these Cherry Blossoms?

#3 Watermelon Acrylic Design: Epic fail. Now you know why I gave away my acrylic stuff!

#4 White, gray and black gradient: Reminds me of cement

# 5 Peacock! 

That's it! I hope I can blog again soon :>

An attempt on acrylic paint

Hello! This is a continuation of my previous post. I'll be showing you the lovely brushes I purchased from Fab Ur Nails Shop and the acrylic paint I bought from the mall. 

These are my brushes! They're tinier than I expected. They're also in pink, so girly! Just great :) This is a 12pc set which I bought for only 300 pesos (including shipping fee). I think this is a great buy. Other sellers sell the same thing for a more expensive price (12 pcs 380 pesos, shipping fee not yet included). The seller gave me a discount. She's so nice!

I also bought a set of acrylic paint at the school supplies section of SM Department Store. Couldn't find a set in National Bookstore. This is an ordinary set of acrylic paint. Ones used for painting. As you can see, they're only 239.75 pesos!

I was contemplating on buying acrylic paint intended for nails but I'm afraid I wouldn't put it in a good use. I'm not good in drawing tiny details or painting stuff either. Just really wanted to try out acrylics. Acrylic nail paint is a bit pricey for a student like me! Plus, I've read in some blogs that ones sold in the mall works just great. 

And so I bought and tried them on. The first picture is my first attempt on using these paint. I followed this tutorial on Youtube on how to make roses using acrylic paint. Pretty simple!

I used white and purple in creating the roses. Another amazing thing about acrylics is they can be mixed easily to get the shade of color that you want.

I enjoyed using acrylic paint on my nails! I will learn more techniques soon!

Gray nails and curvy lines

Just a quick post for tonight - another mani done weeks ago.

For this mani, I used Cloudy Gray, another SanSan polish and stamped it with Wet n Wild Black Creme then put a matte top coat from Etude House. Pictures of the polishes I used:

As you see, there are still areas left unstamped. I kind of panic when I stamp as I am afraid the polish would dry off even before I stamp it. I need more practice! :)

The matte effect is not that obvious because the pictures were taken two days after I did the mani.
The design looks like strands of wavy hair to me! :)
