Xmas Manicure #1 : Sliver Wonderland

Etude House: Grey with blue base with silver shimmer/flecks of irregular size 

Beauty Credit: Glittery Silver with gritty-ness

Nature Republic: Chrome Silver (blue tinge)

 Without Beauty Credit's Silver Glitter, hence a really nice chrome look. Application for Nature Republic's chrome needed to be a little careful, brushstrokes can be visible, best to load brush with sufficient polish for one coat.

Taken after 3 days of wear. Pretty solid I must say. As usual with Seche Vite on top. 

Jewels stayed on pretty well too... Pictures taken in natural light!

//* thank you all for the comments in my last post :) Glad to hear positive remarks! Am still trying to be perfectly straight with my lines, the tip to move the finger and not the brush helps! ;)

Am glad i gave Ole another chance. The first time I used it as a mani i thought it was streaky as hell! I just had to give it some time to settle and all is well :D

//* Cheryl from Legally Polished has tagged me in an award :D A Spanish one too! I have taken Spanish before and love it!

Real awesome nail photos with a twist i would say. Really neat too, opposite from mine! I am rather haphazard :P 

in the mood for glitter love..

I have not laid my hands on any Burlesque yet! Argh~ I know.. but I have two glitters to tide me through this lemming... so until I decide it's time to get some, I'll rely on these to make me happy. Besides, it is a PITA to remove them! haha. 

These are shots of this awesome shiny glittery goodness I had on for abt 3 days :) 

The base was done with Beauty Credit's Silver Drop, featured in my haul post just recently.

Then I did two coats of Armour Rain Glitter, careful to fully coat the half of the nail from the cuticle.

Then i added 2  -3 coats of Finger Paints' Wicked Glitter from the tip. To create the gradient, focus on the tips and stop halfway down the nail. 

I topped it with Nail It silver glitter and hex hologram in clear base, frm the cuticle outwards. The silver glitter will add a clearer gradient look :)

Topped with topcoat to prevent the gritty nail surface from pulling hair strands when running hands over hair HAHA! vain, i know :P

p.s the first two photos are taken by my sister with Lumix LX5 :) 

Love the bottle of Finger Paints, round and bottom heavy. The brush works awesome too! Both glitters dried fast so better to work fast while u uncap them. Im gonna thin them a bit before I use them again! 

This is an absolutely quick and dirty mani that I suggest for days u are tired and just need to have shiny awesome nails to spice ur day up! 

I also suggest using this technique with the Burlesque glitters!!! I wanna see how they look :D 

Just a heads up, look out for the next post! ;) 

NEW in Singapore: THE FACESHOP, NATURE REPUBLIC polishes

This is from Nature Republic. They have the weirdest nail polish bottles! This has golden flakes glitter in a yellowish base... great for layering? Gonna do some on my current Color Club's Wild at Heart <3

 Close up shot.

 A glitter red. Not very exciting I admit. 

 From The Face Shop: Face it- purple and blue duochromy colour. Rather well pigmented from the testing I did at the shop..

 Another new one, glitter hex and glitter bits in a clear base, great for layering over silver or charcoal metallics...

 From Beauty Credit: a sparkly silver. hope this turns out super reflective ehehe. Not new :)

This concludes part of my nail polish haul! *phew* I am a Sinner :'(
