Hi all~

this is my first time showing my nails! haha.. well, i'm not a professional. This is my humble creation. hehee.. Please feel free to comment. Coz if its ugly, i can quickly go and wipe it off. LOL

Colors used:
Base: 2 coats OPI Kiss on the Chic
OP-NLH31
SGD$11
2nd color over it:
OPI Princesses Rule!
OP-NLR44
SGD$11
Q: Anyway for the finger nails, how to apply 2 tones?
A: Apply the base on the whole nail first. Then the 2nd color try to draw a line 45 degree over and color it. Do take note of the 2nd color u want to sweep across. If you are doing a light and dark color, use the light one as base and dark over it. Coz if u do the other way round, you'll never see the light color over the dark one.
Now it's your turn to try this! Mix and match your favourite colors =)

China Glaze Pool Party

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you the swatch of the last neon that I picked up a couple of weeks ago, China Glaze Pool Party. It is a really bright hot pink neon. It acts much like other neons, it is a litle streaky (although this one isn't too bad) and dries pretty quickly. I really love this color on my nails, and I get a lot of compliments when I wear this color. Do you have a favorite bright pink?

China Glaze Kiwi Cool-Ada

Hey everyone! Today I am bringing you another neon, China Glaze Kiwi Cool-Ada. I absolutely love the color but this polish is a little hard to work with frankly. It was a hard color to get even, even for a neon, but it dries surprisingly fast, at least it did on me. I absolutely adore the color though, so I will likely wear it for much of the summer. Do you love the color too?

KOTD: Fiery Fabric

Hey everyone! Today I am bringing you a simple Konad from the s6 plate. I used Sally Hansen Earthen Opal as the base color and China Glaze Twenty-Four K as the stamping color. I love how the colors go together, but maybe this wasn't the best image to use, I accidently got one backwards if you look closely. Do you like these colors together? What do you think?

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

Edit: I freaking hate blogger! This was scheduled to go up this morning (six hours ago) and it magically switched to draft. *&^#(@#^$*@#&$#^#&*@)@ Back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Hi everyone!!! Today I am swatching for you (although I am sure that you have seen more than enough swatches of it) China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy. It is a gorgeous neon coral-y orange color. It applies much like anyother neon, it is a little streaky but once you get used to applying it you can get it to come out even. I have been loving this color in particular, I don't know why because I don't think that corals really flatter me. What do you think of it?

Nail Art: Seaweed or Morse Code?

Hi everyone! I was really inspired by a post by The Daily Nail a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to share what I created. I can't decided if it looks like seaweed or morse code.What do you think? I used China Glaze Metallic Muse as the base color and Art Deco Bright Green as the stripes. Please excuse the chipping and horrendous cuticles; it's been a long week. Do you like it?

KOTD: Lace Flip Flops

Hey everyone! I have been practicing my konading and I am slowly getting back into it and getting better at it. I used China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy as the base color, Art Deco Black as the stamping color, and a lace stamp off of the m71 plate. I double stamped the image onto my nails because I thought that it looked cool, which it it does. I think that I will be using more of my lace patterns on my plates, they are so pretty. Do you like the design too?

China Glaze Recycle

Hi everyone! Today I am showing you a color that people told me to buy for a long time, China Glaze Recycle. It is a beautiful grey creme polish that I desparately needed in my collection. Isn't it purdy? It applies very evenly but takes a little while to dry. Overall it is good to have a grey like this in your collection in my opinion, it is easy to wear and easy to spice up if you get bored with the color. What is your favorite grey polish?

KOTD: Pool Party Swirls

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing kind of a konad fail, but I loved the concept of it. For some reason I could not get the black to show up as opaque as I wanted it to. This design is really cute though, I will likely be using it again. I used China Glaze Pool Party, Art Deco Black, and the S6 plate. Do you guys like the design? I might try something like this again if you do.

NOTD: Neon Rainbow!

Hey everyone! I have been really loving neons lately so I decided that I wanted to wear a lot of them at once. From thumb to pinky they are (all China Glaze) Pool Party, Flip Flop Fantasy, Kiwi Cool-ada, Blue Sparrow, and Flying Dragon. I have gotten a lot of compliments on this manicure, it is so bright and fun! What do you think? Are you wearing any neons this summer?

China Glaze Matte Magic

Hi everyone! I have had this product for a really long time, but I never did a review on it! So I will do it today. Anyways, this stuff is great! It is pretty much exactly the same as the Essie matte topcoat, only it was cheaper and the packaging in my opinion is cuter, although it doesn't contain as much product. This was discontinued, but if you hunt around I am sure that you may still be able to find it. I stocked up on three bottles of it myself, I never want to run out. Granted the matte trend has long since sailed, but it is still a nice way to spice up a manicure once in awhile. If you participated in the matte trend, what was your favorite matte topcoat or matte polish?

KOTD: Lilypads for Leapfrogs

Hi everyone! I have only recently even begun wearing nail polish again much less using a konad, so I apoplogize that the images aren't perfect and that my cuticles are a hot mess. I used China Glaze Kiwi Cool-ada as the base color, Art Deco Black as the stamping color, and I used an image off of the m66 plate. I really love pairing bright neon colors with black, I think that is looks cute! What do you think?

China Glaze DV8

Hi everyone! Today I have a backlogged swatch to share of China Glaze DV8. This is such a lovely holographic polish, although it is definitely the least holographic of the three that I own. It is still a gorgeous polish though, I love looking at the rainbows on my nails! I wish that my nails still looked like this though lol. It dries at a normal rate to a nice and shiny finish. This one chips on me a little bit, but it is worth it to have this color on my nails. What blue colored polishes are you all sporting this summer?

China Glaze Blue Sparrow

Hi everyone! I have been loving neons lately despite the snow, and today I wanted to share one that I picked up awhile ago, China Glaze Blue Sparrow. Why did I not get this one earlier? What was freaking wrong with me? This blue is so bright and so gorgeous! I love the sparkles in there too, it really adds depth to the color. This color applies well and dries very quickly, but again I had the same problem I had with Flying Dragon, it chips very easily on me, even with a topcoat! A lot of you did not have this problem, so I am thinking that something about my nail chemistry that doesn't like neons. I am still going to rock this color anyways! Do you have this color, do you love it too?

NOTD: Glitter and Neon!

Hi everyone! Awhile back I tried to do this combination to spice up China Glaze Blue Sparrow after it totally chipped on me. I kind of like how weird it looks, I don't know. I will call it "unusual", fair right? The silver glitter is Art Deco Silver Glitter. I will say that it saved me a lot of time from re-doing my nails because I had places to go and things to do! By the way I am loving Blue Sparrow, do you love it too?

NOTD: Light and Pretty

Hi everyone! Awhile ago I felt like having a french manicure, so I put on China Glaze Light as Air and Nailene French Tip Pen in White Pearl to create this one. It definetly makes me think of spring and lately I have been loving the pastel trend. I like how it turned out but it is definitely missing something. I think it needs a design or some glitter, it needs something to make it special. What do you think I should have added to it to make it awesome?

Nail Art: 80's Night!

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you a fun manicure. I was actually just playing around with my polish and I kind of stumbled upon this, and I really like it! It totally reminds me of the 80's. Although I never personally experienced the 80's I sure love the neons and glitter that were quite popular during that time. I used China Glaze Flyin' High, Art Deco Intense Pink, and Art Deco Gold Glitter for this mani; does it remind you of the 80's too?

Nail Art: Pink Palm Leaves!

Hi everyone! It's a quick post today, I am on my way home from my conference, which was really fun! So this is China Glaze Re-fresh Mint and the stripes are Art Deco Baby Pink, I really love how it turned out, it looks like Pink palm leaves! I was very pleased with my placement with the stripes, I think that I might be getting better at using them! I love the pastels too, it reminds me of spring! What do you think?

China Glaze 5 Golden Rings

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you a polish that I picked up on clearance at Sally's awhile back from the 2009 Holiday collection! It is a beautiful sheer gold glitter; this would have been perfect for Christmas. I love it though, I want to try layering it over other polishes since it is so sheer. It dried well and wore well, but it was a little bit of a pain to get off since it was a glitter. Did you pick up this polish? Do you like it too?

NOTD: Sparkling Clouds

Hi everybody! Today I am bringing you just a simple combination, this is Sally Hansen Opulent Cloud under a layer of China Glaze Fairy Dust, and I really like how it looks. Duochrome + Glitter = Win! I love it! I got a lot of compliments on this combination. Do you like how it looks too?
