This time, it's inspired by a T-shirt the design team made. 

SMAK 6 BPK Penabur Muara Karang proudly presents: ALCHEMY

Hey again everyone, today I'm back with a themed nail art.

This year's theme is Alchemy. Why Alchemy? Because we have high hopes that our annual cup would be explosive, just like the chemicals and methods in Alchemy :)

 I used a base color of my very own franken, Don't Bamboo Me, topped with OPI Goldenye sparsely applied.

On my ring finger is BK Glow in the Dark which I bought here, topped with Gemstones from Nail Art House. All of them are topped with Etude House Matte Real Nail Top Coat.

Pastel Rainbow Stripes NOTD

Hi everyone!

TOday I'm back again with a nail art. It's been a few weeks since had the energy and spirit to do any nail art, and it feels so good! I didn't realize that nail art has been one of those moment in my life when I have all the time for myself without having to remember how miserable or alone I am :)

Anyway, this nail art is inspire by nail28tsenwei on Instagram. Of course, mine still has a lot to improve, my lines are still pretty messy :(

 Colors used:

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Hardener for basecoat

Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy Nails CPP501 (purple)

Etude House Color Pop Nails CGR705 (blue)

OPI Gargantuan Green Grape (green)

Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy Nails CBE101 (yellow)

Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy NailsCOR202 (orange)

Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in I Pink I Can (pink)

Revlon Super Top Speed for topcoat.

I handpainted the stripes using my striper brush, painstakingly one by one ;)

I painted both of my hands because I have a party to attend today! :D

I really like how this looks, even though the lines were supposed to be of same width, but on my nails it looks like they're descending from wide to narrow :p

Because of that, only some nails get the pink stripes hehehe.

So, what do you think? Leave comment below :)

I'm Back! + tons of NOTDs

 Hi everyone! Sorry I've been missing for the past few weeks, I'm having my exams and I can post this because tomorrow's a holiday! Yay! :D

NOTD: Magnum Gold Nails

Hey guys! I am back again with another NOTD (Nail of The Day). This one is inspired by my favorite ice cream brand, Wall's Magnum Gold!

First, the close up of each of my nails:

my pinky

My ring finger

my middle finger

my pointer

my thumb

The base color us Innisfree #69, Autumn Leaves. It's a duochrome that flashes magenta to dark red to gold. I LOVE IT!

All the ice cream and logos are made with mostly nail polish. Acrylic paints are only used on those white lines to create shading.

I'm still a long way to go from perfection! Please forgive the empty gaps between lines or uneven lines!

Disclaimer: Magnum is a trademark of Unilever. I, Sovianaty, am not affiliated in any way to Unilever nor Magnum, and I created this look using pictures from the internet as a guide.

#NailArtApr Challenge Day 1 : Flowers NOTD + Tutorial

Hey everyone!

I've seen lots of nail bloggers and artists do nail art challenges. And the one that caught my eye is the one made by Californails. Here's my Day 1 to Nail Art April Challenge (I'm a few days late, sorry!) which is Flowers!

 I've put together a little tutorial for you guys, and here's what you need:

  

From Right to Left:

• Etude House Help My Finger Sunshine Whitener as basecoat;
• Etude House Jewelade RD201;
• Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy Nails COR202;
• The Face Shop Lovely Me: EX Nails YL702;
•  Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy Nails CWH901;
• Skin Food Nail Vita BL512;
• Pokari for Stroberi 6190 Metallic Green;
• and Revlon Super Top Speed Top Coat as top coat.

The steps:

1. Paint your nails the base color you wanted.
2. Using a darker color of what you wanted for your roses, draw a not perfect circle. Fill it in.
3. Draw another circle with the lighter color.
4. Start making a dot in the middle of your circle and create the 'petals' by making a half-moon shape using the lighter color. Let it dry.
5. Do the 4th step with darker color on the other circle.
6. Using white, draw half-moon shape on both circles, not overlapping the colors you've created.
7. Draw little triangles coming out of the flower using a green polish or acrylic paint.
8. Highlight the leaves with a lighter shade of green in the middle of the triangle.
9. Top coat to seal it off and you're done!

The tools I used in this mani is my trusty old Cotman 0000 brush.

It's a little crooked on the edges because I don't rotate it often enough! :p

If you have any questions, comment below or mention me on twitter or Instagram.

Hope you guys enjoy my post, and see you soon!

Eternally High Color Nail Polish 837 Swatch & Review

Hello again everyone! Today I have another nail polish from my vault I want to show you. It's called Eternally High Color Nail Polish 837 (such a long name!). Today, April 2, is Autism Awareness Day, which is why I choose to show you a blue polish. I wanted to make some nail art on 837, but I didn't have the time due to exams and assignments from my school that I still have to finish. 

Anyway, let's get to the pictures!

Eternally High Color Nail Polish 837 under my table lamp

The bottle & my nails

With flash

In these pictures I used 3 coats and topcoat. The topcoat I used is Revlon Top Speed Top Coat. Formula wise, I don't think this one is the best out there. After a few times of using it, it starts to get thick & lumpy, and hard to get it to even out, even at 3 coats. But for stamping, because of the thickness of the formula, it's awesome. I'll show you sometime how this polish looks like for stamping. 

I bought this at Mall Taman Anggrek in Jakarta, Indonesia at Rp33.000 (about 3USD). So, what does your Autism Awareness Day mani looks like? :)
