ITSY NAIL review

HEYA! Today's post is going to be in Bahasa, since the brand I'm reviewing is a local brand.

Jadi banyak banget yang nanyain tentang nail wraps (are they good, why is my nail wrap so easily peeled off, etc) jadi aku memutuskan untuk membuat review Itsy Nail, sekaligus membuat tutorialnya yang bisa kamu liat di sini: 

The Body Shop Colour Crush Mint Creme Swatch and Review

Heya guys!

I finally did a swatch on these The Body Shop Colour Crush nail polish in Mint Creme. It's a pretty blue-green pastel that I think should be a staple in every girl's nail polish collection.

By the way, I made a new logo to make my editing a little bit easier, what do you think? 

I bought these at the Body Shop counter in Emporium Pluit for IDR 99.000, and I've had this for a couple of months now but didn't have the chance to play with it until now.

For these swatches I did 3 coats and a layer of Seche Vite topcoat.

For the formula, I think it's a bit thick and kind of uneven at 2 coats so I added an extra thin layer to even it out and add topcoat for that glossy finish. I love my Seche Vite but the shrinking... OMG I'm ready to kill a man whenever I see that shrinkage near my cuticle area!

For 99.000, you get 6,8 ml of product and it's quite a reasonable price IMO.

And I added some floral patterns for KuteksJunkies challenge:

I think that's it for today, and I will see you guys soon!

Love,

Pink and Purple Roses Floral NOTD

Another sunny day here in Jakarta, which makes me want to cuddle with my pillows under my blanket with my AC blasting cold wind :p

But instead, I did more nail art, I don't know why I'm so in the mood right now :p

Anyway, I don't know if these type of floral method has been created before or not, so I can't take credit for it ;)

 Base color is A'Pieu Glow Nail Touch SYG01, and for the roses I used Revlon Fuchsia Fever, Etude House NPP501, and The Skin Food BW704, and a dot of OPI Goldeneye in the middle of the rose :) The leaves are made with China Glaze Holly Day and a franken I made called Don't Bamboo Me.

eek! Forgot to clean the roses :( and I hate it when topcoat ruins my nail art :(

I really like how abstract the flowers look, don't you? ;)

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 :)

Rainbow Tie Dye NOTD + tutorial

 Hi again! Today I have another tutorial for you.

 The ingredients:

 

 Step 1: Paint your nails with your base coat.

 Step 2: Paint your nails white. Wait for it to completely dry and put a drop of red nail polish on a piece of paper of whatever you use as a base if you do nail art.

 Step 3: Using your brush, thinly trace the way you want your tie dye to look like. In here I made it looks a bit like conch shells (?).

Step 4: USing the same red polish, paint the thin line onto something bigger using 'dragging' motion outwards.

 Using the other colors, do the same thing as step 4.

 On the 3rd or 4th color, start doing the same thing to the edge of your nails.

 On your 5th or 6th color, paint the your nails to create that circular tie-dye effect.

 Step 5: After you're done, do it again to make the colors POP.

 

 Step 6: Seal the design with top coat.

Optional: Add a glitter top coat. (Here I use OPI Servin' Up Sparkle)

And this is the whole design on all 4. What do you think? :)

I'm Back! + tons of NOTDs

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!
