blue leopard print

This past weekend was pretty busy. I helped my mom run errands Friday and Saturday. Then Saturday night, we had people over to watch the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight. Yay Pacquiao! Anyway, after everyone left I finally had a chance to do my nails. I wanted my nails to match a top I have. I couldn't decide whether to do leopard or zebra print. I would've tried to do both so that the pattern would be the same as my top but I was too tried to try (it was 1 in the morning). I ended up doing leopard print. I still want to try doing both prints to see how it turns out. Anyway, here are the pictures ...


Here's the pattern on my top.

black and white

A few days ago, I broke a nail and had to cut them pretty short. But even after cutting the nail that broke, I couldn't get it straight. So now the nail on my index finger on my left hand is different from the rest and it bothers me every time I look at it. Anyway, since I've been busy with school lately, I decided to do a pretty simple and quick design on my nails. I used China Glaze Liquid Leather, Konad white, m4 and a glitter art pen for the middle of the flowers. Sorry about the picture quality. I did my nails last night and took a picture by a lamp.




That's all for now. Hopefully I'll have time this weekend to do my nails. Have a great week :)

halloween nails

I was so busy with school last week and didn't have a chance to post up a picture of my halloween nails. I actually did them about a week before halloween and took a picture right after. Anyway, here's what I did ...


Orly Crush On You, Konad black, and m36.


On the day of halloween, I changed my nail polish and did a leopard print design to match my leopard costume (well, not really costume .. just ears and a tail.) I was busy that day and didn't have a chance to take a picture thinking I could take a picture the next day. Unfortunately, they already chipped the next day so I decided not to. Since I had a day off from school yesterday, I had time to do my nails. I used Zoya Demi as my base color. Then I mixed a small amount of Demi and a few drops of white konad polish to make it a bit lighter than the base color. I used the color I mixed for the net looking design (m57). Next, I used konad white for the flowers m35. For the butterfly (m36), I mixed konad white with a few drops of Demi, making it lighter than the net design. It wasn't hard doing this, just a bit more time consuming than the other manicures because of the mixing and all the different designs.
