Rose, rose, I love you..

Posted by Catherine at 7:50 AM 0 comments
My friend's big day is this weekend, so I did 3D roses on her dainty nails finishing with rhinestones and UV top coat. UV top coat can actually makes the manicure and design last longer than ordinary top coat. My previous nail art with UV top coat can last me for about 2 weeks.

Thought of practicing my drawing and 3D roses.. that is why it became garden of roses. The roses are painted with acrylic paints and 3D are from acrylic powder.

Hello, I did this 3D acrylic flowers for my friend for her special occasion, Registrar of Marriage.. Her nails are so small thus, it is tedious for me to make the small 3D flowers.

In the mood of love...

Posted by Catherine at 8:15 AM 0 comments
Today, I did my friend's nails again... This time she wanted to get her nails done to get ready for pre-wedding photo shooting and I advised her to use a striking colour base, so it can be seen from photos..

She wanted the pattern to have lots of heart shapes, so I did it with 3D acrylic and finished with rhinestones..

Butterfly toe nails

Posted by Catherine at 9:16 AM 0 comments
This picture was taken quite some time ago, long before I started this blog. At the moment, I still can't paint my nails red or bright colourful colours as my grandma has just passed away. This is part of our Chinese tradition. Furthermore, I have broke both my toe nails and fingernails. :-/
I felt this painting is a failure as the colour does not come out.. I should have painted my toe nails contrast the butterfly or vice versa.

Sorry for the blur pictures.

First Attempt to 3D Painting

Posted by Catherine at 8:47 AM 0 comments
Hello everyone, this is my first attempt in 3D painting on my mom's toes. I have been trying this painting for so many times and thought of giving up once. But when I saw Lisa's painting (http://nailartworld.blogspot.com/), it motivated me to give it a try again and this time I took her advice :) Though is not as perfect as hers but I am glad that it came out with the effect.. I will practice more.

New picture uploaded!

Ridge Filler

Posted by Catherine at 8:26 AM 0 comments
Today, I bought a Ridge Filler nail  polish from Daiso. I  would like to give it a try if it can really even up my nails. You can see from the pictures below:

After applying the first coat of the ridge filler, you can see the circled area. My uneven nail plate is still visible.

Even after the nail polish. I think I will put second coat next time as I still could not see any difference:

Hello everyone! This is my Chinese New Year's 3D toes nail art, using acrylic system for the flowers, with swarovski diamond, some gold beads and rubber butterflies to complete the nail.

A closer look:

And for my nails I used the dotting tool for the flowers.

Hello everyone!

Posted by Catherine at 1:24 AM 0 comments
I always love painting my nails but never blog about it as I have been procrastinating... Finally, I have started my my first nail art blog! Yay!

I am not a professional nailist and have not learnt anything about nail art from anyone but started this passion since 2002.

My mom and sis have been my models all these years as I will always use their nails to draw. Thanks to them for me to practise this passion of nail art. ;)
