About two months back, I did a kpop inspired mani, which was based off of Jay Park's new (although it's not so new now) music video for his song, Joah (좋아).
For today, I wanna share a kpop mani I did a few weeks ago.
-- which was inspired by ...
(click on the picture, it will enlarge)
... and ....
My mani was inspired by Exo's History outfits and the Exo logos. My mani is pretty sloppy & my nails look random ... but if you look at Exo’s group picture closely, you can see the details in their outfits which are what I put onto each design. I almost gave up on my left hand, pointer finger (Kris’ jacket), and my right hand, pointer finger (Tao's ripped sweater) -- but thankfully, I pulled through & finished it cause those are my favorite designs :D Anyway, you can pretty much guess what design goes with who (besides for my design of Lay’s jacket (which is on my left hand pinky), you can't really notice the design cause of the glare ;__; Ooh yea, the designs kind of go in order of where they’re standing in the picture — except I didn't have enough nails to do a design off each member. but yea .. I guess I'm happy about the way it turned out .. :)
Exo is split into two groups -- Exo M, who promotes in China, and Exo K, who promotes in South Korea. History is a catchy song & I love it; both Exo M & Exo K have a version of the song ... so here are the music videos to enjoy~
Here is a mani that I did a little over a month ago, can't believe that I'm now just getting around to posting it up on here.
As the title of this post and the mani suggests, this is my Beast - 아름다운 밤이야 [Beautiful Night] mv inspired mani~ Beast made a comeback over two months ago with this new song; it's so catchy & fun.
Here is the music video if you want to watch it--
If you're like me, you want everything with English subtitles ... here is a link :P And if you're new to kpop ... yes -- there's more to kpop than Psy & Gangnam Style, but big ups to Psy for bringing kpop over to the States & causing a crazy madness :)
That's it for now, I hope your week has been good thus far~
hi everyone! for today, i just wanna post up the kpop manis that i've done but havent had a chance to post them. its kind of crazy cause i did these a looooong while ago & yet they still havent been posted yet. haha im so behind :P
Jay Park - Tonight mv inspired. i did these back in May! ahaha, im sooo late at posting! :P oh Jay .. he's my favorite :) here is a link to his music video if you wanna check it out :)
Block B - Freeze inspired mani. i did these back in August. Block B .. they're so underrated but talented~ here is a link to their music video.
B1A4 - Beautiful Target mv inspired. did these back in October. they're so cute & adorable .. and the song is just so fun :) here is a link to the music video.
here's the inspiration for the mani;
well, now that im all caught up on that, i guess i'll end it here~
hi! i hope everyone is doing well! the weekend is almost here...yay! :)
i have another kpop inspired mani for you~ i actually did these 2 weeks ago but i never got around to posting until now.
although im not a big fan of Big Bang, i got a few requests to do a Big Bang mani... and so i finally came up with something. aside from Haru Haru, Sunset Glow is one of my favorite Big Bang songs. sorry for such crappy pictures & screen caps from the mv; i had to take pictures on my phone & i couldnt find an hq version of the mv at all! T___T
heyyy! its been a while, i hope all is well. i've been lazy. i havent really done any manis lately; i've just been painting my nails a solid color & ending it there.
i have another kpop inspired mani today. this one... i did 2 weeks ago but was too lazy to post until now T______T
Balloons was one of the first DBSK mvs i watched & they’re just too cute - especially in those outfits!! :D i know…its a really, really simple mani :X oh, and please dont laugh at my right hand. i wrote 동방신기 all sloppy & lopsided =’( but that 5 in the heart is kindaaa cute though, right? haha.
first things first...i just wanna mention that i finally got a new layout for my blog. its super simple & thats how i prefer it :P im not done putting in new links & what not, but hopefully it'll be done shortly :)
next, my mani! it's been a while since i last had a kpop inspired mani. but today, i bring you another one.
this is my SS501 - A Song Calling For You mv inspired mani! there's a reason why i specifically did this mani is because ... two years ago, around the end of February onto early March, i got into kpop. i fell in love with SS501 through this music video & so i just wanted to make a mani in celebration of my 2nd year into kpop! :) omg. i cant even imagine what my life would be if i hadn’t got into kpop. haha
on my nails… i didnt put my SS as close together as it is in the mv. & i couldnt find the right shade of dark yellow-orange for the font :( on my pointer, i have a checkered pattern from the floor tiles of the second picture. next, the black dress is supposed to be like the dress that girl in the 3rd picture is wearing. then i have the cute cardigan & bow tie design is on my ring finger. & i bet you’re confused about my pinky design huh? haha. thats supposed to be the garage door & that black thing is supposed to be part of the car :P i didnt include Jungmin [who is the guy in the last picture] in my mani but i still left him in this picture anyway :)
p.s. dont laugh at how ridiculously sloppy my checkered design & “garage” design is..i rushed through those two.
here's the mv for you to enjoy :)
lastly, if you follow me on twitter, you'll notice that yesterday i was complaining about school. once i finish this semester, i'll get my associates in general studies... so i really need to finish this semester out well. for the first half of this semester, i felt like i had school under control. i worked out a nice study schedule & what not & im actually doing well in my classes. but just on Tuesday, my online money management class started & im already feeling overwhelmed. i have homework due tonight, 4 assignments due Friday night, 2 tests due Sunday night, and a project to start - AND THIS IS ONLY MY FIRST WEEK OF CLASS!! im kinda freaking out because i dont think i can manage everything anymore. i know online classes are harder but this is the toughest online class i've had yet & im really freaking out. gahh, i hate school! and not to mention, i have two midterms tomorrow. :(
im done complaining now. i need to finish my homework & finish studying!
ok, this first fact of the matter is really not important. haha. but i would like to mention that i finally made a facebook page for my nail stuff. if you would like to "like" it..then feel free~ click here for a link to fb. i havent done anything fancy to it yet...just some nail art & my fugly banner... haha. one day, i'll put better stuff on there and add a like button to the side of my blog here.. but for now, thats it~
next, i sure hope you all have read my review on Younique Nails because i have great news for you! starting yesterday, February 7, and running til March 7... Younique Nails has dropped the price on their polishes! from $13.90 down to $10.90! but, dont forget that i have my 10% coupon code that you can use! meaning, you'll be paying around $9.81 for a bottle [plus shipping].
its definitely something worth trying out~ :)
ok, onto my fail manis... first we have a failed kpop inspired one.
Miss A is a newer girl group that came out some time last year i believe. an anonymous person on formspring kindly suggested for me to do a mani that was inspired by Miss A's Breath music video...i got this far and then i stopped.
here's the mani i have on right now..
3 coats of Milani's Fresh Teal. the polish is REALLY not this peacock blue-ish shade irl. its more teal...but this picture sucks. boo T___T if you couldnt tell, its supposed to be Agent P aka Perry The Platypus..from Phineas and Ferb. [ yes, i still watch Disney Channel. dont judge me :P ] i dont like how this turned out...my sister said Perry looks really mad. HAHA -_____-
hi~ i've been a little m.i.a. this past week. not much happened for me...but i just never got around to posting.
here's the mani i did some time earlier this week...
this is another kpop inspired mani. this one was inspired by HoMin's outfits from their 110116 performance. HoMin isnt really their name... their real group name is DBSK but long story short, i call them HoMin.
i think this was 2 coats of Zoya's Harley for my thumb & 2 coats of Rimmel's Black Satin. lets not talk about how long it took me to do the design for my ring & pointer fingers. omg. and look at how sloppy my "always keep the faith" is!! T_________T
here's the performance video;
just a reminder, i hope you all had a chance to read my Younique Nails review and check out the 10% coupon code!~
thats right...another kpop inspired mani! - i actually did these at the beginning of last week but i've been too lazy to post. o__O
i kinda feel bad for having so many kpop inspired manis lately..but those are the only things that are inspiring me~ so until i find other inspirations, you might be seeing more kpop ones :P
the boy group that this mani was inspired by is MBLAQ. they debuted a day before Beast did, in 2009. [you remember Beast right? one of my favorite group that i talk about a LOT? haha] anyway, MBLAQ just had a comeback with a new album & 2 new music videos; one for this song, Stay, & the other song, Cry. i really like Stay..so yupp.
here's the mv;
hope your weekend is great! i'll be back soon, <3KATRINA
i've been thinking about whether or not to post this mani or not. i didnt do a good job on it so thats why i didnt wanna post it...but i havent updated a while either... but here i am, posting it up. gahhh! dont laugh at me for this mani.. T_____T
Secret is a kpop girl group who debuted in 2009. my sister likes their music but i wasnt a big fan of them until recently. their lead singer -who is also the lead girl in the mv- is just sooo pretty & she sings so well~! and right after i started liking them, they came out with a new song!
the song is super catchy & girly, its so cute! haha their manis in the mv are so awesome too! you cant really see their manis well in my picture..but if you watch the mv for a little bit, you'll see it better. ergh. i just wish i wouldnt have screwed up my mani! erghhh!! look, i couldnt even make nice dots with my dotting stick! sad.
anyway, here's the mv;
ok, now that im done complaining about my ugly mani, i should go to sleep. tomorrow is the first day of winter semester for me. i need to finish this semester off well so i can mooooove on out of community college! :P good luck to everyone who is off to winter semester too! :)
today i bring you a band that i havent talked about before, FT Island. they have been in the kpop industry for about.. 3 years now, and yet they're still slightly underrated. because FT Island is an actual boy band group & the kpop industry is more for boy groups who dance, FT Island isnt noticed as much ... although FTI probably has some of the most talent out there. and their lead singer Hongki has one of the best voices in the kpop industry - he sings soooo perfectly live too!! ♥ anyway, let me end my ranting here & show you the mani~
this is inspired from FT Island's I Hope - which they promoted last year. yes i know, i have such bad screen caps T____T and those silver lines are supposed to be the outlines of their guitars. omg, my FT Island writing is so sloppy! my left hand was extraaa shaky :(
here's the mv:
here's my favorite FT Island song - from 2 years ago:
omg, you hear Hongki singing? <3 so awesome.
anyway, today is the last day of 2010. let me just say that 2010 was a sucky year for me & im pretty sure 2011 will be sucky as well, but i just hope that it'll be better than this year :P
we all know by now that my favorite kpop group is Beast right!? haha well, here's a simple mani i did last night. Bad Girl was their debut song & its such a catchy song. since i only have 5 fingers on one hand & there are 6 members in Beast, you'll notice that i included all 6 members in the picture above. haha
here's the mv;
ok, now i have a question: what is the max amount of polishes one should send out in a package? im sending my friends -who live in Malaysia- a package of polishes...and altogether, i have about 30 polishes for them. but i dont want to send all 30 out at once cause that just sounds like too much!...right? so i was thinking i'll send half first..and then i'll send out the other half another time.... ? what do you think?
i was lacking inspiration for my nails last week so thats why i didnt post often last week. as of right now, i am lacking inspiration as well..but hopefully something will come to me soon~
on Saturday night though, i did quickly find inspiration & so here i have another kpop-ish mani to share~ this one was inspired by Beast's first concert theme - which was Beast Airline.
the concert was on Sunday night & was only in Seoul, South Korea so -clearly & sadly- i couldnt make it T_____T
the green polish is 2 coats of OPI's Jade Is The New Black. p.s., dont laugh at my fugly design on my ring finger. haha =/
hmm, i have an exam on Wednesday so i gotta start studying. to everyone else who has finals this week, good luck!! :)
i bring you another kpop inspired mani today; yes, i know ... i've been doing a lot of kpop inspired manis lately. ha. ha.
an anonymous person on formspring + someone on tumblr asked me to do a mani inspired by Big Bang & 2NE1's Lollipop. although im not a big fan of Big Bang, i do enjoy their music. 2NE1 on the other hand, i do really like. so spunky & different, they are. :) so onto the mani~
im so upset that the design on my pinky & thumb on my right hand turned out sooo badly. it really bothers me T__T and, i couldnt find any nice, HD music videos so the screen caps are super bad quality :'( its also killing me inside that the order of the girls in the picture isnt the same order as they are on my mani; but hey, thats just my tad bit of OCD kicking in. haha
i would also like to mention that the two lollipops are from my awesome package from Born Pretty Store. and the black bow on my pointer finger on my left hand is from a mold that i also got from BPS.
on, onto the mv. enjoy the music video~
anyone else on tumblr & is beyond annoyed that tumblr has been down for FOREVER now? -__- oh well.
hi-yeom~ tonight, i bring you another kpop inspired mani!
this mani was inspired by SHINee's Noona You're So Pretty / Replay concept. [in Korea, a guy calls a girl -who is older than him- "noona".] this was their debut song & its just so cute!~
its nothing fancy. & im slowlyyyyy -ever so slowly- starting to like this mani. haha
hi-yeom~ today i bring you another kpop inspired mani :D
my favorite kpop group, Beast/B2ST, is out with another mini album & the music video for their song, Beautiful, just came out. i based this mani off of it;
here is the music video for Beautiful~
the actual music video doesnt even start until 1:58 or something. but they're extraaa cute in this mv, i can always rewatch it :)))
oh, btw, i've been behind on catching up with reading & commenting blogposts. my apologies~
k, im super tired tonight so im gunna end it here!
honestly, i was going to write my review for the items from my awesome package today, but im not in the mood to be writing too much, so im going to post the mani i did last night.
another kpop inspired mani :D im not really big on girl groups but SNSD is one of the few that i like. they just came out with Hoot & so i decided to go along with that.
it was almost 1:20am last night when i was trying to finish my nails...but then my parents woke up, caught me painting my nails, and i got in trouble T__T so i didnt get to finish. my hands were awfully unsteady last night so everything looks so #$@%^&!!! :( im not too fond of this mani so i'll probably redo my nails tonight. he. he. hopefully i dont get caught this time -__-
hi! hope your weekend has been well! i've been MIA again this weekend. after i post this, im going to try to catch up on the posts that i've missed.
i've had this mani done since Wednesday but i havent really had time to post until now. this is another kpop inspired mani; the group name is Dalmatian, like the dogs, but they're clearly guys. ha. ha. they just recently debuted with their song, Round One, which i looooove.
just something simple. writing out "Dalmatian" wasnt really difficult..but i did mess up a bit. =P
sharing the kpop love again, here is Dalmatian's Round One music video.
