#123: SEPHORA Stormy Pink & CHINA GLAZE Admire + KONAD M63

It's FRIDAY again! Shown here is another mani for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Enjoy your weekends~

I felt so sad that I accidentally broke my middle fingernail due to the car door and I had to chop down the remaining to nubs. I'm not ready to show my nubs cause I still think it's hideous, but hubby says it looks okay. It's all his fault. :( Anyway, I shall refrain from posting until I have achieve a nice length again.

Added on 04/12/2011: Thanks for visiting! Something special has happened in my life and it has taken up much of my time. I do not know for sure how long I'll be away from blogging this time. Anyway, thank you so much for your support! =)

#120: SKIN FOOD Pedicure Sparkle #09 + Nail Art

Ok, this Hello Kitty wasn't my idea. Someone posted a tutorial in youtube (cutepolish) and I couldn't resist to attempt this on my own. Hello Kitty on my thumb was a little not-so-perfect but who cares... I really had fun doing this~ Fun mani for a blue Monday. =)

Decorated/Painted with:

Konad Special Polish in Red (for Hello Kitty's ribbon)

#113: CHINA GLAZE Pelican Gray & JORDANA Lavender Foil + KONAD M76

China Glaze Pelican Gray was a little plain on its own. To amp up the look I sponged on Jordana Lavender Foil up to 2/3 of nail and then stamped on a simple pattern on the corners. Love this mani!

#109: CHINA GLAZE GR8 + Nail Art

China Glaze GR8 is a very stunning gold holo. The outline of the stickers looks visible in bright sunlight but not so much indoors. But I guess I should just omit the nail art next time I paint this amazing polish on. They definitely deserve a post on its own.

#108: CHINA GLAZE Peachy Keen & CHINA GLAZE Happy Go Lucky + BUNDLE MONSTER BM-221

I looked through my humble stash and found these polish which I think would look great when paired together. Very vibrant colors indeed~ Does these colors makes your heart flutter? Mine did wildly. LOL~ It was too plain at first so I stamped on the leopard pattern and fill in the spots with opposite shades using a dotting tool. I dig this!

#107: CHINA GLAZE Trendsetter & ELIANTO Lime Green + BUNDLE MONSTER BM02

Featured here are 2 coats of China Glaze Trendsetter followed by some sponging of Elianto Lime Green. The lollipop stamp was done with Konad White polish and glitters are fished out from a few different shades of Bisque glitter polishes. Does this look too Over The Top (OTT)? Jam packed like there's so much going on in there. LOL~ 
I'm super busy at work these days. And it's sucking my energy, I felt tired and lethargic. Guess I'll have to stick to daily post on weekdays and have some rest on weekends...

#106: CHINA GLAZE FLIP Flop Fantasy & OPI Black Onyx + BUNDLE MONSTER BM-205

Painting on bright colors and pink has always make my heart skips a beat faster cause I get excited easily when putting on bright polishes. I kept staring at this highlighter pink as it's so amazingly bright and with a coat of Seche it makes it super shiny. So dig this~

#105: ESSENCE Choose Me! & CHINA GLAZE 2030 + KONAD M38

Essence Choose Me is a stunning blue-green with gold microglitters and when top with Seche makes this glass fleck beauty even more amazing. Stamping done with China Glaze 2030 with a simple flower pattern on nail tips. The nail blogosphere says it's a dupe for Zoya Charla but I really don't know how true cause I can't compare.

#103: COLOR CLUB Wicked Sweet & CHINA GLAZE Skyscraper + KONAD M61

In my opinion, this bluish silver glitter polish is even better than the China Glaze Dorothy Who I bought a while back. That bottle I got could be a defect bottle as it was really runny and thin. It looks to me like it has been diluted with thinner. Gah~ Hate it!

This polish was so pretty, I was too "stingy" to use another coat of it. Which explains why I'm layering it over another 3 coats of Color Club Wicked Sweet. =P Should have added a rhinestone for that extra bling effect.

I'll be putting this on again on its own for my next holiday in November. Till then...

#101: ZOYA Minka, CHINA GLAZE CG In The City & ESSENCE Copper Rulez + KONAD M66

Subtle and conservative french tips should be an ideal work appropriate mani. After done painting the tips, I move on to top the smile line with China Glaze CG In The City using a brush and then stamped the bamboo pattern from Konad M66 to my thumb and middle finger. Finish everything with a glossy top coat and you're good to go. =)

#100: CHINA GLAZE Traffic Jam + OPI I Lily Love You

To my eyes, China Glaze Traffic Jam looks like the flesh of a red dragon fruit (pitaya). I dig this red~ I don't see myself wearing this to work but I'll definitely be putting this on my weekend outings as it's really catchy and chic. I decided to give this combo a mix n match and it turns out to complements each other probably because of the sheer pink base in OPI I Lily Love You.

Hurray to my 100th post~ *pats behind own back* =)

#99: ZOYA Shay & CHINA GLAZE Traffic Jam + KONAD M73

Zoya Shay is gorgeous and applies like butter. Can be opaque with one coat if you apply your polish thicker. It's very appropriate for office and not too catchy. Shown here is stamped with the full plate of tiny flower pattern from Konad M73. Excuse the sorry state of my cuticles and a little bit of tip wear as I forgot to take a photo right after I've finished and only took it a few days later.

#96: ESSIE Playa Del Platinum, CHINA GLAZE Metallic Muse, CHINA GLAZE Sci-Fi & CHINA GLAZE Admire + BUNDLE MONSTER BM02

A little disappointed that the long holidays here has delayed my parcel from arriving early. I really wanted to try out some of the newer colors instead of having to "recycle" my old polish again and again. Gah...

Anyways, these chrome polishes really does make the design stand out. Does this pattern even look like fireworks?

#85: ESSIE Blanc, OPI Color So Hot It Berns & CHINA GLAZE First Mate + BUNDLE MONSTER BM14 & BUNDLE MONSTER BM-224

Attempted a national day nail art. Started with Essie Blanc then free handed OPI Color So Hot it Berns in alternate stripes. On accent nail was China Glaze First Mate stamped with a star and a crescent representing the national flag. Don't you just love holidays? I do~ =)

#81: CHINA GLAZE Great Barrier Beige

File my nails down today. Slab on a nude polish as I'm really tired to do stamping or glue on any ornaments. I like the color because it compliments my skin tone but I really hated the application as it was streaky and goopy plus I had tons of trouble working with it. It just wouldn't cooperate. Guess I'll have to search for other brands of polish with similar color as I'd really like to wear this to work.

#79: RIMMEL Blue My Mind & CHINA GLAZE Sci-Fi + KONAD M76

I see this as blue but hubby says this is purple. I don't really know how to describe but it does look blue indoors. This was 3 coats. China Glaze Sci-Fi makes it look extra sparkly in the sun. Was out to the amusement park and got a few compliments on this nail art. Happy to know that someone appreciates my hobby cause there's not much hype here, where I live. I seldom see girls sporting bright and loud nails.

#69: OPI Rumple's Wiggin + CHINA GLAZE Grape Juice + KONAD M78

My first attempt at gradient nails. Not too shabby but could have been better with the sponging. Stamped the twin butterflies pattern on my accent nail cause it looks a little "naked" after I've finished.
