Captain America Nails

THE LAST ONE! This is the design I'll be wearing all week until next removal.

So maybe this could be a 4th of July design but it's not the 4th of July and I'm like so far behind but like, it's the Cap, and like, I found this glitter that I wanted to use for this. And hey! It's the 4th addition to my Superhero thingy.

Here we go!


Polishes used (L-R): O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat, Nicole by O.P.I Please Red-cycle, Sally Hansen Red, White and Hue, Topshop Mariachi Madness, Sally Hansen White On, Sally Hansen Black Out, O.P.I Top Coat

Thumb: Captain's Shield
Pointer: Red and White stripes
Middle: 'A' on a blue base
Ring: Glitter on a black base
Pinky: White star on a blue base

No more long explanations. Woot! And this concludes the 3 designs that I did today.

Thanks for reading! <3


Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Nails

This one's because I completed this memory on Brotherhood after trying for who knows how long.

And also because a new one's coming out on October. About the French Revolution. On a PS4.

Are you kidding me right now? Why?

Anyway, ASSASSIN'S CREED! YAY!


I used (L-R): O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat, Sally Hansen Cha-Ching!, Sinful Colors Gogo Girl (LOVE <3), Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Sinful Colors Black On Black, O.P.I Top Coat

Thumb (Darn it. It's blurry and it looks like crap): Rome symbol on a red background. So if you go to the map, you'll find the legend. The legend says that this symbol is for Rome and since most of the time, we're in Rome, I decided to do that.
Pointer: Black grid on white. So when you get desynchronised (because, oh I don't know, you try to act cool by jumping across far buildings but end up missing the ledge) and Ezio's walking around while the game loads, there's this grid thing. Yes, no, maybe? Anyway, that's what I was going for.
Middle: Assassin's Creed Symbol
Ring: RED GLITTER O_O
Pinky: White grid on black. I think I've explained myself enough.

Excuse my incessant rambling.

Thanks for reading! <3

Chiara Ferragni Eye Flats Nails

My mum just received her newest addition to her shoe collection in the mail last week.
They were the Chiara Ferragni Eye Flats. Now, I decided to do nails inspired by them but I gave my nails a 2 week break.

Yep.

Nothing but cuticle oil and a nail file. Also, me and mum flew over to Melbourne to watch a play (Les Mis). So today I did 3 designs straight. Applying, removing, scrubbing over and over again.

This is the first out of 3.


The polishes that I used were (L-R): O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat, Sinful Colors Pride (Aw you can't see it. It's a multi-coloured hex glitter), BYS Antique Gold, O.P.I No Room For The Blues, O.P.I I Theodora You, Sally Hansen White On, Sally Hansen Black Out, O.P.I Top Coat

Thumb: Gold with glitter
Pointer: Gold French/Chevron (maybe? eh) with glitter
Middle: Gold with open eye (On the flats)
Ring: Gold with closed eye (On the flats)
Pinky: Gold French/Chevron with glitter


So there's 2 more to come.

Thanks for reading! <3

5 Seconds of Summer Nails

This was a request from one of my best friends back in Singapore. Plus, I thought the idea would be fun.
This was inspired by 5SOS' 'She Looks So Perfect EP' album artwork. I have nothing else to say really.

Okay let's go.


Polishes I used were (L-R): O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat, Sally Hansen Lemon Shark, Maybelline Impeccable Greys, Sally Hansen White On, Sally Hansen Black Out, O.P.I Emotions (Liquid Sand), O.P.I Top Coat

Thumb: 5 Seconds of Summer logo on yellow background
Pointer: Doodles from the EP artwork on white background
Middle: '5SOS' on white background
Ring: Black liquid sand (you have to see it in person. Just too pretty)
Pinky: Black, yellow and grey squares and rectangles on white background

This post feels to short. Oh well.

Thanks for reading! <3

FoA: Dark Side Nail Polishes

It's Voldemort vs Darth Vader.

Yesterday at Priceline, I found these cute polishes named after some of our dearly loved villains (Magneto, Mystique, Ursula. Can't go wrong with that) But I picked up 2 of what I thought were the most unique ones of the batch.

Voldemort (A black and blue/turquoise hex and dot glitter)
Darth Vader (A black and holographic (kinda) purple hex and dot glitter)

Okay, so none of those descriptions make sense. Sue me. I'm not good at this.


L-R: Voldemort, Darth Vader

Look! A tiny hex glitter!
These were 2 coats by itself

As much as I LOVE Star Wars, I might actually love Voldemort more in this case. The blue just pops up underneath all that black. I'm wearing it right now on my left hand with a black base (Sally Hansen Black Out)

Price: $4.95 AUD each at Priceline

Divergent Nails

Two things that happened last week Saturday:
1. I tried curry for the first time (And gosh it was good)
2. I watched Divergent for the first time (Yes, I know I'm late. Trying to hop on the bandwagon again)

So I did Divergent nails. Yay.

Let me just warn you by saying this was rushed. I was far to impatient to wait that the topcoat smudged a few things here and there.


Polishes used (L-R): O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat, BYS Spring Fling, Sinful Colors Black on Black, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, O.P.I Where Did Suzi's Man-Go?, Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, THEFACESHOP BK904, O.P.I Top Coat

Thumb: Tris' Bird Tattoo on a Nude background
Pointer: Buildings and a Ferris wheel on a Nude and Blue gradient
Middle: The Dauntless symbol on a Black background
Ring: Silver glitter on a Black background (because I love my glitters)
Pinky: Buildings on a Nude and Blue gradient

The sloppiness of it all.

Thanks for reading! <3

Hunger Games Nails

 From the depths of boredom and frustration, I bring you this nail art design that I came up with while listening to the soundtrack.
I told you I was bored.
Anyway, this is also dedicated to my friend. She goes insane when it comes to books. Without further ado, let the Laziest Clean Up Job appear.

But seriously.
Look at that bobby pin just casually photo-bombing.
Polishes I used (L-R): O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat, O.P.I I Just Can't Cope-A-Cabana, O.P.I Where Did Suzi's Man-Go?, Nicole by O.P.I Please Red-cycle, BYS Antique Gold, Nicole by O.P.I Rich In Spirit, Sally Hansen White On, Sally Hansen Black Out, O.P.I Top Coat


Look at that messed up cuticle on my pinky. Gosh.
Thumb: Flames (achieved by first sponging a yellow, orange and red gradient on my nails and using black to shape the flames)
Pointer: Gold Mockingjay from the Hunger Games book cover
Middle: Red Mockingjay from the Catching Fire book cover
Ring: Blue Mockingjay from the Mockingjay book cover
Pinky: Flames

I like how it turned out.
Mostly the Catching Fire finger but yeah the others are cool too. My brother came over and said "Ooh those flames are insane."
I shall stop the rambling. 'Till next week!

Thanks for reading! <3

Spiderman Nails

So I've been digging superhero stuff lately but I haven't read any comics from DC or Marvel at all. That being said, I don't know anything about them or their past. But my friends do. And they've been bugging me to do superhero inspired nails.

I've already done Superman and Batman.


So now, it's time for SPIDERMAN.


Polishes I used which are in front of that crappy looking background I drew for my nails.
L-R: O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat, Topshop Mariachi Madness, Nicole by O.P.I Please Red-cycle, Sally Hansen Black Out, Rimmel Your Majesty, O.P.I Top Coat
and something that wasn't in the picture but I used for my silver glitter nail is this random silver glitter I got from K-mart called Glam Mix

Thumb: Spiderman's suit (sort of) with spider logo
Pointer: Red with silver stripe and cobweb
Middle: Blue with red stripe and cobweb
Ring: Silver with silver glitter
Pinky: Red with silver stripe and cobweb

I think I might just do a post based on superheroes when I do more of them. The next one might either be the X-men or Captain America. 

Thanks for reading! <3



Oerba Yun Fang Nails (Final Fantasy XIII)

So when it comes to video games, Final Fantasy and me go way back to when I would watch my mom play FFX on the computer while I sat on her lap with my stuffed toy. And now I'm currently trying to finish FFXIII with no luck while I constantly replay Lightning Returns (That game was just the bomb). But in the whole series, I could think of no other than Oerba Yun Fang as my favorite character. Like she's fun and wild and she gets the cool Eidolon!
Moving on, since this is a nail art blog, I decided to post this old set of nails I did inspired by Fang.


Polishes used from L-R: O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, Sally Hansen Black Out, Sally Hansen White On, THEFACESHOP GL112, O.P.I Top Coat

Thumb: Fang's white l'Cie mark on a black background
Pointer & Middle: Blue
Ring: Inspired by Fang's blue sari-like dress
Pinky (not really): Fang's tattoo on her left arm

So yeah. Just thought I would post it.

Thanks for reading! <3

The Fault In Our Stars Nails

This is probably getting old now.
Who am I kidding? TFIOS is a classic (in my opinion). Plus I'm pretty sure the movie's still showing in the cinemas.
Anyway because I was in the mood, I decided to do nails inspired by Hazel, Gus and their little infinity. BOOM.

It was also inspired by that wallpaper on the right.
The feels are coming back.

I used these nail polishes:

From L-R: O.P.I Natural Base Coat, O.P.I No Room For The Blues, O.P.I Tiffany Case (Liquid Sand), BYS Blue Beats (Confetti Top Coat), Sinful Colors Black on Black, Sally Hansen White On & O.P.I Top Coat.


Thumb: The Book's cover and "Okay? Okay" (Hazel and Gus' '"always")
Pointer: White Stars on a Black Base (Because, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves")
Middle: Infinity (Some infinities are bigger than other infinities)
Ring: Blue Glitter/Liquid Sand (Because Hazel and Gus' love shined so bright. And because I thought I needed more blue in there)
Pinky: Black Stars on a White Base (I also thought I needed a white nail)


And that's it. I've exploded.

Hiyas!

Hey there (I guess)! So as you've probably figured out by now, this blog is all about nails. I have this serious addiction. I'm not even kidding. And so some part of me figured, "Hey! Let's show the internet your little world and they can see for themselves how ridiculous you can get when it comes to nail art!". Therefore, I am sitting here in my little room, curled up in my bed, giving you a warm welcome to my little blog.






Thanks for reading <3,
