Last manicure of 2010!

Blingtastic!!! <3

What a way to send off 2010 and bring in 2011!

This is a gradient manicure attempted with

Finger Paint's Wicked Glitter,

Amore's Rain Glitter,

Daiso's gold hexgon glitter,

OPI Sparkle-iscious,

OPI Show it and Glow it!,

OPI Absolutely Alice

topped with 2 coats of Seche Vite (one after the other, to prevent excessive shrinkage)

<3 

On a wicked note, I won a digital massager from Kimberly, again! (won her Vampy giveaway earlier this year!) What a New Year's Eve :D 

Also received a lovely purple/red franken I named Par-rad [Parade//] from Chris <3 The package took some time, due to the season I suppose but was soooooo happy when it came!! <3

Now Im contemplating what should my 2011 manicure be! Hmmm...

And I would love to thank all of you who read and comment on my blogposts :):) You dont know how much encouragement it gives me everyday. EVERYDAY. :) Sending you some love...

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! ;) 

I won a giveaway! and soon it will be your turn ;)

I was so delighted to receive this package the other day!

As I am approaching a milestone in my blog, I will be putting a giveaway together really soon! Do let me know what brands should I include :) Probably not the OPIs, CGs, Essies, Orlys as they are expensive and limited here. Any other brands? ;)
