Pikachu Nails!

Hi all,
Nice to see you guys again. =D Today I decided to do Pikachu nails that I told Miyuki about. Haha... so she was kinda chasing me for the pika pika! Tada! Here is my Pikachu nail art!
My Right Pikachu
This is my right hand pikachu. I still think that doing nail art on my right hand is extra challenging! You might wonder why I do right hand's design first. Here's some tip I think is useful personally. If you are better with your right hand then draw design on it first. As left hand for me is a bit dumb, so I will tend to make mistake to my right hand. I can then use the nails from left hand to clean it first. Using nails to clean edges of nail on right hand is much more effective than using tools. As using left hand I cannot even hold the tools properly. After painting right hand you can now use right to paint left where my right hand knows how to hold tools properly. So cleaning the edges will be by using tools insted =D. Hope it's useful to you guys too.
My completed Pikachu nails
Thats my completed nails! So glad that I can have both hands of same design again. Haha.. Anyway my purple flower on gold base did not last. As I think it's not so nice so I clean it away after one day. And my nails are empty until now as I'm too busy with work previously. But, now I'm BACK! =D
Tools Used
Above is the tools and polish that I used for this Pikachu design.
From left to right:
- Sally Hansen Continuous treatment (strength) [Base coat]
- China Glaze (1034 Sunshine Pop)
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Series (50 Hot Red)
- OPI mini (NL L00 Alpine Snow)
- OPI mini (NL T02 Black Onyx)
- Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
- Dotting tools and Brushes
I'm using OPI mini now as I start off with the set of OPI spookettes mini series set. So I try to finish the minis first before using my regular OPI.
Hope you guys have a nice day ahead!
See you soon!
Jya!

New Nail Art Tools

Hi all,
Hope you guys missed me hahaha! I've been very busy the past few days. So was not able to post anything.

Guess what! My new OPI and my nail art brushes are here! So happy to see my letter box filled with my Gmarket items haha! Well let me introduce you guys to my new toys!
My new OPI polish and nail art brushes
I bought my set of 3 nail art brushes at S$6.50 from Gmarket also. The seller is Polish Alley. I just did a check to see if they still have availabilty but unfortunately, it's sold out. I think the price is quite worth while and I also need brushes to do more design thus I bought it without much thinking... Hahaha...
I've bought my OPI nail polish from smoochiezz again!! haha.... I think I mention previously that they have deal in Gmarket thus bought the two colours. The two polish cost me S$12 (S$6 each), very nice pricing for OPI right?!! But same thing, each person can only buy maximum 2.

This time the colours I bought are NL B87 A Grape Fit! (purple)and NL Z20 Yodel Me On My Cell (blue). I did not do much research on my colours so the blue I bought did not seems to be the one I wanted... I'm Look for very sweet baby blue from either OPI or Sally Hansen but somehow they don't really have nice baby blue...So I'm still hunting =D Well, I will soon play with my brushes and new colours soon! See you guys next time! Have a nice Wednesday ahead! Jya!

Purple Flower

Hi all,

Hope you guys miss me =D I did not post yesterday as I was out almost entire day to bring my guide from Taiwan to have a small little town around the city area of Singapore.

Well I did my nail this afternoon and decided to share with you guys
My purple polish
I finally had the same design on both of my hands. As tomorrow onwards I will need to work for travel fair for 2 days thus I think it's better for me to have same design on both hand to avoid customers asking =D Well, after seeing how Miyuki introduce her design I decide to tell you guys what I used too.. so the above picture shows the tools and polish that I used.
From left to right:
- Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
- Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Series (310 Gilty Pleasure)
- Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Series (470 Purple Pulse)
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Series (220 Celeb City)
- Sally Hansen Continuous treatment (strength) [Base coat]
Actually if you are using Sally Hansen Salon series as base colour, you don't really need to apply base coat. For my case, I need to strength my nails thus I will use Sally Hansen's strengthening base coat before apply my colour.

Alright, that's all for today! You guys can find me tomorrow at the Travel Fiesta at Suntec City Hall 401. I'm at the Namho Booth =D it's free admission! Seeya soon! Jya!

Pink and silver french



Hi people...Miyuki here again :) I'm taking a break from my sch stuffs (actually I'm too lazy to work on it *cough cough*)

Here is another simple french manicure which I've done quite long ago...so I can't really remember what polishes I've used for this set of nails. Basically they are those new polishes that I've got that time :)

I really have got a bad habit of buying new colors everytime but I will only use them for once which explains why I have got so many polishes now and that explains why I have to throw so many polishes away recently :(

Love the crystals and the blings silver stripper so hope your will like this set of simple nails and do it on your nails :D

Nail Polishes used: (If my memory did not fails me)
1) Faceshop Base Coat
2) Faceshop WH003
3) Faceshop PK106
4) ETUDE HOUSE Mini French (#06 French Silver Glitter)
5) Faceshop Top Coat

After reading Natsumi's post I feel motivated to post today :p

Yeah we went to the flea today!! and I kinda proud of myself that I did not purchase any polishes today!!! Reason??? First, I need to save!!! Secondly, I've gt too much of polishes that I actually threw 25bottles away this week. OMG!!! think back...heartache...all my hard earn $$...lol

back to the post...this is my sis's finger...ya ya I know I know she have got nice and LONG fingers!!! tsk so unfair!!! This is what I've mention in yesterday post...my sis 2011 CNY's nails!!! a very simple one because she hate complicated nails (unlike me lol) and I force her to use PINK!!! Because at that time, I just bought my first OPI Designer Series!!! Love it ttm!!!

Actually I hate doing my sis's nails as she want to be perfect and she is better than me so I'm kinda stress too!!! So I started off with simple design for her, french manicure using my newest polishes (at that time hehe)..and it is quite obvious that this is my style by looking at those bling stuffs haha

Enjoy people!!! Have a nice Thursday too :D

Nail Polishes used:

1) OPI Natural Nail Base Coat
2) OPI Designer Series DS014 DS dazzle (Discontinued, if I'm not wrong..so sad)

My new nail polish for the day!

Hi All,
Hope you guys enjoyed you Wednesday! Today I met up with Miyuki to go for smoochiezz's flea market at Tanjong Pagar. We went for lunch first then proceed to out destination. We reached the flea at around lunch hour and it was SOOOOOO crowded! *scream* so we went away and shop at other places first and went back when it's after lunch hour.
Polish bought from Smoochiezz Flea market at Tanjong Pagar
Despite the crowd, I'm still able to grab some nice nice polish =D. Let me introduce them to you.
They have this very valuable package for China Glaze, however selected colours only. I bought the set of glitter (Glacier), dark blue (Blue Island Iced Tea), and Red (Red Stallion). The set of 3 only cost me S$15. If you were to buy it per bottle, their china glaze at the flea is S$7 for each bottle. I remember Miyuki actually have a differet set of colours too. She might to share with you guy or?? (keke evil smile). Next will be OPI green that I need... I really hate green but still I have to buy one to do some nail art... so i bought the OPI NL B69 Green-which Village which cost me S$9 at the flea. Lastly, is Essie's Matte finishing polish which I wanted the most it's call Matte About You. Hahaha... really happy that I grab these colours... but one thing sad aboout it is when I came home and log into Gmarket and found out that Smoochiezz actually have another time sales today for OPI at just S$6 ONLY!!! *faint*. Haha.. due to the very attractive pricing I bought another 2 bottles from them. I will post it when they are here. 
My nails after removing all the nail design

Today is the day that I remove my nail polish. I try to ensure that I will not change my nails design too frequently therefore I aim to paint my nails every Thursday night or Friday morning. Also removing my polish on wednesday night and let it breath before putting on polish on the next day. So today is the day that i clean my nails....And tada. Thats my bare nails. I think that is really long to me. I seriously say this as I NEVER EVER have such long nails before. The reason being I played Cello at the age of 9 thus I can't keep nails as it will affect my playing. Only recently, I started to grow my nails and started doing nail designs and painting. Thats the reason why Miyuki says I started late. (I would say, I'm still a newbie in this.)

Well thats all folks! Seeya with my nails design tomorrow! Jya!

My New OPI Polish from Smoochiezz

Hi all,
So happy to see you guys once again! Hope you guys had a pleasant day!

Today before I went out of house for a evening meeting in my company, my dad came home with a package from our letter box. And guess what was it? Haha! it's the OPI nail polish that I perviously brought from Gmarket Kiasu Sunday time sales. The OPI cost me S$8.80 each only! I was so excited when I saw the price. The vendor has FOC mailing for Singapore normal mail too! So nice  of them. Anyway, when I shop at Gmarket, I saw the vendor name, and realised that they are the shop that Miyuki mentioned to me about.

They have so called the cheapest OPI polish on the market. You will be able to find their address at the end of this post. They have flea market as and when which I think it's even cheaper than buying from them online if I'm not wrong.

My package came very nicely packed as you can see below. the bubble wrap is the BIG bubble wrap.. hahah very nice to play with. Anyway, my polish came in good condition. 

The above two pictures shows the colours that I buy from smoochiezz. The purple one is NL F13 Louvre Me Louvre Me Not, and the brown is NL H64 Wooden Shoe Like To Know? the purple is the colour I wanted most haha but have yet to try it as I still have my cupcake on me...

Sadly from gmarket I can only purchase 2bottle each day from smoochiezz but you can of cos visit their website if you wants to buy more. By the way! Tomorrow, me and Miyuki will be meeting to go to their flea market! I'll be grabbing some green polish... (although I really hate green a lot...) but I still need green for some design..

I will be putting on my nails from the past like what Miyuki is doing. However, I will still put recently events as priority like getting new stuff, doing new design and etc..

Hope you guys have a nice day ahead! See you soon.

First post! with cupcake nails!

Dear All!
This the first blog post of Naily Art brought to you by Natsumi(me) and Miyuki!! Hahaha.... we are so called the fan of nail art now! Mmmm... Why we wanted to start with the blog? Mmm..I think it started off with me having this new hobby and started to post my nails photo on Facebook! Hahaha... I guess I've been flooding my fellow friends' time line with all my nails pic from time to time... so Michelle one of my poly classmates who is also a craz for nail arts says 'hey, we should have a Facebook album where both of us can put our nails pictures' then I suggested that we do a blog instead. As blog, we will be able to type a long long long message which we want where Facebook description will be kinda weird... haha.... anyway... enough of my grandmother story... I will start off our first post with my piece today! This is done with my friend Giselle's hand. LOL! I should say this is very brave for her, as she is my first human model!!! and the first person that i paint nails on! (as I've been always doing stuff on my own nails and some left over fake nails from the past)

Well... below is the picture of my piece today! It's the delicious cupcake! haha I have cupcakes on my left hand too!!

(Above) Giselle's left hand... the first hand I do on... a bit nervous hahah.... (Above)Giselle's Right hand... this hand done faster haha.... My completed piece! When doing Giselle's nails I'm ultra nervous! As this is not my nails but someone else! I kept having voice in my mind saying 'you better do it well... this is someones' hand yo... do make any mistake ar...' and in the midst of it... haha i spilt my nail polish remover on to my HP mini!!!!! *scream* but luckily nothing happen... I'm sooooo accident prompt...clumsy me...guess I really really need a nail polish remover pump....

Anyway, hope you guys like the nails! I will soon update what I've been doing in the past...
see you next time! Jya!
