Galaxy Nails.
This was my first time trying the galaxy nails. I never gave it a go because I knew the original look was too harsh for me, so I redid them into a more feminine and wearable style. I used all pastel colours; pink, purple & aqua and a glitter top coat - China Glaze's 'Techno'.

This has a very elegant and clean look towards it. I am a designer and therefore have very good visualisation. I knew these two colours would work perfectly together! I actually never thought I would've used this specific stamp pattern, but I am glad I did because this has become one of my favourite designs using the Konad Stamps!
Party Nails.
Bumble Bee.
I saw this look on youtube and thought it was one of the most creative things ever, so I just had to redo it! At this time I didn't have any nail brushes or dotting tools, so I used the nail pen. Nail pens are a bit difficult to use therefore explains why the lines and dots are not entirely perfect!
I bought China Glaze's 'Lemon Fizz' just for this look.

Magnetise me.
I first saw this on Holly Annaeree's youtube channel and couldn't wait till I got my hands on them! I basically learn everything from youtube, so if you youtube it, you can see how it works ! It is like magic !
Layla's "Magneffect" in '17 Deep Violet'.
This was my first time trying so it didn't turn out as clear and even.

All that glitters.
This was the beginning of my glitter phase because I fell in love with this glitter polish by O.P.I called 'Rainbow Connection'. This is one of my favourite looks and also the one I dread doing most because of the aftermath! Glitter is THE WORST to remove! So hard that I even had to youtube "how to take glitter polish off easily" - it actually helps !
This gradient glitter look was done by painting a base (China Glaze - Agent Lavender) then started off by painting one layer of the glitter over the entire nail, followed by another layer starting from the centre of the nail to the tip and a final layer building over the tip only!

Crazy about Tiffany's.
It wasn't up until mid last year that I really started getting into nail art. At first I was just going through a phase of using different colours then I quickly developed interest towards a more creative side of nails. I started to experiment using brushes, dotting tools etc. This was the first time I used a brush to paint fine lines, which clearly needs to be perfected!

Crackle.
Everyone went crazy over these when they first came out. I bought O.P.I's 'Black Shatter' and tried it - it was very interesting at first but I thought the colour and style was a bit too grungy for me! Then I got excited when they started releasing more colours and I fell in love with the white one!
Water marbling.

This is probably going to be the start of a more personal blog! Nails, beauty, loves and whatnot :)
