i actually wanted to post this blogpost this morning...but if you follow me on twitter, i mentioned that Blogger was "currently unavailable" for me & it wouldnt let me post anything.. errgh. its ok. as long as its letting me post now.. =P anyway, i came up with a new mani design [in my head] on Friday... i wanted to try it out RIGHT AWAY but sadly, i didnt get to try it til last night. here's how it turned out;
i used Maybelline's Bubble Pink - 3 coats. i forgot how horrible application of this polish is...freakin streaky sucker. *ahem..anyway... i used black tulle on my nails & then some pearls. this mani took me...a little more than 2 hours cause of the tulle...i had to clip them with a nail clipper to the same length/size of my nails..and then they dont exactly stay on right away either. the pearls were also a pain; the pearls have a sticky back & were connected in one line..so i had to snip off each pearl individually..
here's another angle of my nails. i actually like how the mani turned out but im not sure if it was worth the two hours...haha =P i will say that all of my pearls did make it through work today with me today, so that i like =)
uhm.. my mind is pretty much blank right now. so i'll leave it at this. =P
hope your Monday was great!,

ReplyDeleteThat pink is really cute ^^
ReplyDeleteYour nails always looks awesome xD
wow!! its so girlie
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. I ordered pearls like that and I can't wait for them.
ReplyDeleteWhat about if you used the konad print like that? Probably would cut down on the time massively.
Yen Janette, thanks ;)
ReplyDeleteThriszha, haha yea, definitely girly! =P
l0verlada, thanks :) and yea, konad probably would've cut the time down tremendously but..i dont have konad...and i like to play with stuff for my nails. haha
I first thought you konaded the fishnet-design but now reading that you've done it with actuall tule- woah....
ReplyDeletemaybe throw in a few coats of topcoat to have a bit more fun with your manicure next time ;)
Imma probably sound stupid, but what's a tulle LOL
ReplyDelete-Kathy ♥
^^ same and how did you do the fish nets they look SO GOOD :) btw. i love the pink what brand is it?
ReplyDeleteamused polish, thanks :) and i did use a few layers of topcoat..it didnt really stick well at first. but it finally stayed down. haha
ReplyDeletekathy, haha no, you dont sound stupid. tulle is like..a thin netting that people use for decorations. its a LOT thinner than lace & it just has the holes in it..thats about it.. haha
sandeep, haha the fish net look is the tulle =) and the pink is maybelline's bubble pink.
I LIKE IT ITS SO GIRLY!!!
ReplyDeletelove it katrina. makes me think of ballerinas.
ReplyDeleteyea, its really girly..ahaha thanks Ingegerd ;)
ReplyDeletethanks Pang! now that you mention it..it does kinda remind me of ballerinas too. haha
What I want to know is how you got the tulle to stick and if it peeled at all after a few days? Anything you would do differently?
