I haven’t done a nail art post in a while, so I thought I’d finally post a mani I did recently. I painted this ladybird design using Furless Bitch, a solid black, and Sea Siren Cabin Fever, a bright red creme. Unfortunately Cabin Fever’s designed to be worn on its own, so it took quite a few layers until the …
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had some fun celebrations – I certainly did! To continue my end-of-year round-up, I’m looking back at my favourite nail art from last year. Artsy Wednesday concluded in 2014, and I’ve honestly been quite lazy about nail art without it. I’ve been pretty happy with my progress though! Blue Rose – inspired by …
I haven’t been painting my nails much lately, but here’s some nail art I recently did with my Pretty Serious collaboration shade, Undercover Mermaid. The base is Undercover Mermaid, the black shade is Skinfood Black Stone and the purple/green duochrome is Face of Australia Magneto from the new Dark Side collection. As you can probably tell, I’m really in love …
I haven’t done nail art in a while, but I was inspired by my friend Leroy Nguyen’s latest collection, inspired by the blue rose from the film Pan’s Labyrinth. A while back I did another manicure inspired by his prints – strangely enough, this new collection lends itself to drag marbling as well! I think I’ll have to incorporate the …
I hope you all had an injury-free April Fool’s Day! I spend mine frustratedly trying to find Mew (if you’re a sucker for punishment like me, try out the Google Maps Pokemon scavenger hunt). Here;s my mani – I’ve wanted to do this for a while now, but haven’t had the time. We start off with an innocent looking mani …
Today’s Artsy Wednesday theme is Disney. I decided to do something a little different – Star Wars nails! As you might know, I’ve ready done a whole series of Disney princess nails with ranty essays attached (Jasmine, Snow White, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Belle and Ariel). Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 and there’ll be three new films coming out. From …
Have you heard of Messy Mansion? It’s an Australia-based nail art and stamping plate store that’s particularly well known for their own in-house designed plates, some of which I have to show you today. Julia, the owner, gave these to me to review at the National (well, East Coast) Aussie Nails Meetup last week, and all the girls got grabby …
Most people’s childhoods were full of Disney princesses – mine was full of Asian cartoons! Doraemon, Dr Slump, Sailor Moon… But by far, the VHS tape my sister and I reached for most often was My Neighbour Totoro (dubbed in Cantonese). Even now, I still turn into a child when I watch Hayao Miyazaki’s films. So my Artsy Wednesday animation …
