Tape Manicure - 1st attempt

In my previous post on nails obsession, I mentioned that I'll be attempting tape manicure soon. And so, here's how I did it:

Making use of my current color - OPI 'Give Me The Moon'. I decided to keep it for this tape manicure cos I simply hate the idea of re-painting my nails ALL OVER again should I fail...As shown on the photo above, I used a scotch tape to do my tape manicure (any scotch tape will do) but please ensure your nail polish is already dried up!

There, a coat of new color - Del So 'RockStar' was applied to the area I did not cover. The trick now is...you gotta remove the tape quickly after you finished applying yr color on it. If you wait too long to remove the tape, it is highly possible your new color will peel along with your tape.

Repeat the process with the rest of your nails and here's how they will look on your fingers:

This marks my 1st attempt at tape manicure! Frankly speaking, i quite like this color combination + the tape manicure result! Feels so accomplished hehe!

There are a lot of designs u can play with the tape. I'm already thinking on my next design with a new set of color combination! This certainly is fun!!! Not only that, i can save my $$ for going to manicurist, kekeke!

*Please pardon the blur photos as I took it too quickly & by then, it's too late to retake! Next one shall take clearer photos!

1st Loot from StrawberryNet

A happy woman is a happy woman indeed. All because I did my first purchase with StrawberryNet & I simply LOVE their service...& item of cos!

Ordered my Lancome Makeup Remover from there & the packaging's damn good. 1 remover only but comes with such big box + foam chunks.




As if like this is not secured enough, my Lancome makeup remover is bubble-wrapped somemore!




Very good condition in terms of packaging right!? Really secure my order till I speechless!

Oh, one more thing. Other than my order, I received another item too. That's because by being a new customer to order from StrawberryNet, I was entitled for a free gift!



I am so gonna patronize this shop again though this time, i may consider buying a perfume instead, hehe!

Fun with Crackle ~ OPI Katy Perry Collection!

Had heard so much rave about Katy Perry Collection from OPI which caused cracked effect on nails. And so, I decided to give it a go at it too! Bought Teenage Dream & Black Shatter from OPI to see how amazing since this will be for my first attempt ^^.

Teenage Dream from OPI

How it looks on my nails ~ PRETTY!

Saw how glittery Teenage Dream is? It is so damn pretty on my nails, I almost couldn't bear to apply Black Shatter onto them T_T

However, my objective is to find out how the crackle looks on my nails, thus, I have no choice but to go ahead!

OPI Black Shatter

Cracked Effect after applying Black Shatter

Tada~! Here's the result of Crackle a.k.a Cracked Effect. How's that looked? Pretty amazing right? I really like the effect of this & I may just use a different base colour other than Teenage Dream to play with it! For a more lasting wear, do apply a top coat on top of it ya? For me, I am using Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat which works like a charm all thanks to my very very very very pro colleague who's VERY into nail polishes!

Am gonna attempt on tape manicure soon. Good Luck to me! Ha ha ha~

Raymond Lam & Me~

This Saturday will mark the day where I will be able to see Raymond Lam (林峰) personally on his concert! As much as I am excited about it, the sad news I received since Monday happened to affect my mood towards this concert though...as in, half excited, half upsetting from the past week's incident.

This has also inspire me to post my history with Raymond Lam. As you all know, he's well-known for acting, and he in fact begun his acting since he was 20 years old. His singing comes later when TVB decided to engage their own actors for drama songs.

My history with Raymond Lam ^^:

From 2000 till Present~~~

I literally fell in love with him after watching this drama, not to
mention the songs he sang in this drama! Everything started from there!

 

 

Love this drama!

Honestly, I remembered when I started to follow his dramas, but I just couldn't remember the year of the dramas & I'm just lazy to go google the dramas now, hehe...However, the photos are posted in the order I watched the dramas :D

Sadly, there are still some dramas which he had acted in but I still didn't manage to have the time to watch :(

Have the drama in my storage already but dunno why still haven't watch it...

This is a movie, not a drama though

Can't believe he has been my TVB idol since Year 2004! Looks like after going to his concert, I will need to slowly finish all those dramas of his I have yet to watch! ^^.

Nails Art Obsession

Before I into the content of nails art obsession, I'll like to present my 1st virgin work of DIY nail art, on my own toenails!



 
Yes! Polka Dot nails for me! Guess what, the dots weren't dotted by a dotting tool but from a Q-tip stick! Innovative ya? Hehe! Hope it's not too ugly though I know there is still very much room for improvement.

This all began with the introduction of Konad nail art from my colleague on her FB. As you all know, I literally had no time for mani/pedi at all and thus always paint my nails myself, be it hands or feet. Upon my colleague's introduction of Konad Nail Art which seems so freaking cool, I decided to invest in the art stamps to try it out. Though I can't make way to manicurist, I believe I can still have pretty nails even if I stay at home, right? Yee, right, don't care!

And so, I ordered Konad's accessories too and I can't wait to start using it! Too bad the delivery needs 3 working days. :( While waiting to start my adventure on nail art stamping, I DIY again on my fingernails this time, with other style...



 
Nude shade with gold glitters! ^^

I really quite like DIY-ing my nails, hehe. Without the inspiration from my colleague, i may have just kept on painting the usual way which I did. Also ordered cuticle pusher and nipper cos my cuticles are damn ugly.

Not sure I can tahan anymore with my eyes closing down at me. Alright, time for me to hit the sack!

Tada~!!!
