Ribbon X Polka Dots

Irene showed me this picture and wanted something similar! 


After some discussion, we decided to omit the embossed ribbon, and went with China Glaze Fairy dust as the base for a shimmery effect! 


I whipped out the super realistic stickers and Irene decided to have them on the thumbs! I added in a simple ribbon on both the middle fingers too. 



The overall effect is very sweet and cute, and Irene is such a perfect customer as well! Being on time and doing ample research before the appointment! Hope to see you again soon :D

Love Paris?

Hello everyone, I'm back! After a grueling month of exams and studying, I'm finally free! (for now)
So yay, I'm gonna be back FULL FORCE to make your nails pretty!

So I had 2 customers who chose the Paris Eiffel Tower design that was on Mynt's nailwheel, and I tried my best to replicate the design. I promise I will do a better mock up soon!


This is a very sweet combination, classic pink, white and black, which goes very nicely together! A very simple Eiffel Tower design here, along with simple lace and polka dot designs on the rest of the nails! I think the pink and white stripes makes them look like a wallpaper design, I would love to have a wall with such decals! 

This is a funkier version, with a mix requested by the customer! This customer always like to have a variety of designs on her nails, no exception this time round! With a light blue background this time, there is a mix of simple aztec, dots and lines, and rainbow with a star on the thumb! I think the whole combination is very funky and cheerful, fitting for her personality! 

I will be blogging more often, so do check back, and if you haven't, do like my Facebook Page to be notified of any latest updates! (:

CNY Day 5

It was a super packed day! But thank goodness most of the customers were early/on time, thus no delay in between! I had last minute cancellation of 2 customers as well, and they did not bother to inform me at all until it was time for their appointment. Very irresponsible because someone else could have booked the slots....

These girls rushed over from their last lesson at school to get their nails done! They pretty much had an idea of what they wanted thus it was fast! 

First up was Elmo and Cookie Monster! Base was Not like the Movies by OPI, and I love this color alot! 


Then the usual floral mix! 


And the ribbons with polka dot mix! In very festive colors if I may say! 


After them, I had a few customers, but I did not manage to capture their manicures ): It was mainly leopard prints with glittery spots and crystals, as well as a Tiffany ribbon nail art for another customer! *Slap myself for not taking photo ugh!*

These were my last customers of the day, a bunch of bubbly students! They had a hard time deciding, and one of them decided to just go ahead first! She decided on black giraffe spots on a hot pink base, and it ended up looking kind of like shatter effect! 


They browsed through my phone for designs, and decided to do aztec prints, with a slight change in the color choice! I actually enjoy doing aztec nail art alot, because there's endless possibilities! 



It was about 10 plus when they left, and then I had a super late lunch/dinner with my friends who popped by! Thanks Yuenyin and Yingying for helping out! (: 

It was a hectic pre-CNY manicure appointments, but I enjoyed myself tremendously!

CNY Day 4

I am on a roll! All these posts are scheduled actually, so that I have new designs for you guys! (And so that Mynt will not judge me for being a bad blogger and not update enough LOL)

First customer of the day was Vanessa, who's actually the older sister of Theresa the day before! She actually did a set of sweet daisy flower set at one of the flea I was at, and this time round, she decided to go for the roses that she couldn't decide between the other time. She opted to have pink and white stripes for her index and ring finger as well, to prevent floral overdose!


Clara came next! She sent me a picture beforehand of a 3D acrylic ribbon on a tuxedo set. However I don't provide 3D, thus we settled for 2D ribbon instead! It turned out to be very sweet looking with the pink and white combo! On the rest of the fingers, we kept it simple and plain with 2 different shades of pink polka dots on white base! 

Jolene came with a friend to do nails! She was very excited before doing actually, but couldn't decide on the design so her friend went first! This customer loves leopard prints and loud colors, and decided to have an accent nail of hot pink Hello Kitty! They joked that it looks like a pirated Hello Kitty made in China....LOL! 
She was a joy to work with, and kept me entertained throughout the whole process! 


After looking at her friend's nails, Jolene decided to get the same set, but change the accent nails to ribbons on a bright orange base! Due to Fengshui, her mother has instructed her not to have blue, purple, and green colors on her nails, thus her leaves ended up to yellow.... Jolene's boyfriend happens to live nearby, and she promised to visit me often to do her nails! I'm glad she was happy with the end results! 
Both of them were a joy to work with, and after a long day, I didn't feel tired because of their constant chatter and jokes. Thanks girls! 


A last minute booking by Ruby's friend, Christine, who got convinced to do her nails after seeing Ruby's. She stays nearby as well, thus had no problem with the late timeslot, phew! She had a hard time deciding, and ended up doing alternate design on her fingers! After looking at the photos, the complex designs make her nails look very cluttered ): I should have advice her to get simpler designs to go with either! 


It was a hectic day, but fun nonetheless with all the ladies being on time and nice and friendly! 
Till the next! (:
