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 :)

Revlon Fuchsia Fever and Revlon Tangerine Swatch and Review

 Hey everyone! I'm sorry I've been missing for a few weeks! I was busy preparing for my sweet 17th birthday and a load of assignments from my school, because it's almost the end of the term!!

Anyway, for my birthday, my friend Ghea gave me 6 bottles of Revlon Nail Polish!

They are:

• Tangerine
• Hushed Blush
• Smoldering
• Copperglaze Platinum
• Raisin Rage
• Fuchsia Fever

Today, I'll be swatching Revlon Fuchsia Fever and Tangerine, which are both perfect for summer! <3

 Revlon Fuchsia Fever is a creme fuchsia that can be opaque in 1 coat, but since I'm so sloppy, I needed a second coat. I really like this one, which is surprising since I'm not a fan of neon or pink.

I think it's very perfect for a day on the beach! 2 coats, no topcoat or basecoat.

 Revlon Tangerine is an orange with pearly shimmer, that actually shows up even under low light!

This is 2 coats, no topcoat or basecoat.

#NailArtApr April 7th: Rainbow Braided Glitter Placement Nails

Hello again everyone!  

Today is April 7th, and in the Nail Art April Challenge, today's challenge is braided nails!

If you don't know, braided nails is a nail art pattern made popular last year. I saw it on cutepolish's Youtube video, and gave it a try. But for today's nails, I gave it a twist! 

 Instead of using just polish, I used loose hex glitter I bought 2 months ago in a craft store near my house! And instead of using 3 colors, I used 5 colors so it looks like a rainbow!

Oooooooh, I feel like I have a disco ball on my nails! It's so shiny and bright and colorful!

The base color is Revlon - Black Lingerie. If you don't have loose glitter, the glitters on your favorite glitter polish can also be used to make this. 

Pick a loose glitter using a wooden stick, or if you don't have it, the tip of your dotting tool or mechanic pencil is a great substitute!

So, what do you think? I love this technique!

Ozotic 505 Swatch and Review

Hello everyone! Today I have a very unique polish, which I really love! It's Ozotic Multichrome 505. Just from the name, you can know that it's a multichrome. Sadly, this line has been discontinued, so there are only a handful of bottle left all around the world. The polish itself is a multichrome that shifts from green to blue to purple to magenta to bronze/gold on extreme angle. Let's get to the picture!

The macro shot. Look at all those color-shifting particles!

I seriously don't know how to take a picture of multichrome, but this is the best shot that I could capture, that shows almost all the colors on this polish.

Ozotic is an Australian brand that sells pretty polishes, ranging from Multichromes to Holos to Shimmers.

The purple-blue shift

All the picture shows a coat of Ozotic 505 over 2 coats of Revlon Black Lingerie. No topcoat. (Not that it needs any, it's already so shiny without it!)

gold/bronze - magenta - purple! <3<3

I bought the polish at Bubbletalk Shop for IDR160.000. Pretty expensive, I know, but it's so worth it!
