Meow


So right now while waiting for my video to finish converting, I thought I'll update on my NOTD.

It went from this

to this

I think perhaps the first one might look better in the pictures, but the second one looks better irl. I could not stand how my kitty looks like a bat, and no idea what is up with the index finger so I re-did it! Glad I did, because I've gotten compliments on how cute they look! ^_^

I used Orly Lemonade- which was incredibly streaky and ugh such a nightmare to apply.
I got this idea from emeraldsparkled.blogspot.com, I find her blog to be such an inspiration!

No idea what to title this LOL

Today's Nail of The Day:

I wanted something that is bright and pink...
After all it is almost the end of my finals but sadly I didn't think I did very well for my last paper (well the rest is MCQ and Mother Tongue, so I don't really like to count them ;D), I want something to cheer me up! I wasn't exactly of what I wanted to do, so I just added a flower on the ring finger and improvised. My thumb design ended up kind of awkward with the rest of my nails, but I decided to keep it anyway, but re did it because I caused a dent on it by accident when texting haha

Awkward thumb LOL


I re did the thumb, and as you can see, uhm I wanted it to look nicer but it ended up looking funnier. Oh well, I doubt I will be keeping this design longer than 2 days anyway! :D
This picture was taken at night, hence the lighting seems different. The above pictures were taken in daylight.

My right hand. Since my right hand is my dominant hand, I expect the nails on my left hand to look nicer, but I kind of prefer the designs on my right hand.

Color used: OPI Flower to Flower

Roses are red, well not in this case.


My weekend manicure, roses! This is my first attempt at the rose manicure and as you can quite tell from the pictures they are an obvious fail LOL. I didn't have enough time to redo a manicure as I had to study for my finals, but at the same time, can't leave my nails naked during the weekend!

You can tell, I didn't even do a proper job in painting the base haha. I did this manicure in less than an hour, so well you know what you get when you rush and don't put time into it. (;
I used OPI Gargantuan Green Grape for the base, OPI Strawberry Margarita and Alpine Snow for the roses and OPI Damone Roberts 1968 and Jade is the new black for the leaves. (If they even look like leaves!) I have to ask to pardon my dry skin as well, they are starting to peel again! ): Probably because I fail to use LUSH Lemony Flutter and hand cream again. /=

Sidetracking, look at what I have here!
Little minis of Red Door and Red Door Revealed!

My mom and I went to shop for fragrances a few days ago and got these and a few others.
Cute, aren't they? :D
