Melting candy

Choose your favorite colours!

I chose 5 candy colours n base was nudish

1) use a dotting tool and dot the end of the drip.
2) tap a trail of thinner line upwards to the tip of ur nails
3) repeat for about 3-4 times each nail
4) connect the tip of ur nails
5) touch up by placing big neat dots at the end of the drips

Not difficult to do with ur left hand either!

Rainbow peek

This particular nail art teaches that patience is virtue!

Starting from the bottom left picture, choose 4 to 5 awesome loud colours.
-I painted alternately vertical and horizontal stripes.
-pink, orange, yellow, blue n purple
-I used pastel pink n it kinda blend to natural colour, effect wasn't fantastic, try louder colour.
- wait patiently to dry

Bottom middle picture
-paste thin tapes diagonally across as many colours as u want
-I used 3 tapes per nail
-ensure the tail of the tape is sticking out so u can remove it easily

Bottom right photo
-paint black over everything
-I used Matt top coat at this point
-wait again

Finally, peel off all the tapes! :)

So long..

To continue on the gel polish..

It lasted for a good 68 days :) not because it was coming off, neither was it chipped, simply because it was too long n I badly wanted to try out the gradient set below!

So here are just some 'activities' I tried over it while it lasted. The more successful ones: Butterflies, flowers, siliver lining
