watercolour painting

on my nails!!!

not that i've been into nail art recently.
i have been admiring most of the times , yet too skeptical to try it myself

1) pricey
2) time consuming
3) lack of ideas? hmm...
4) most importantly, how many crystals do you want me to splurge on ?

yeah, to be pretty you gotta spend alot
to be pretty you gotta pamper yourself, make time for yourself
and once again, spend more ...

to me, nail art / colour not only can beautify your hands/ nails, it can oso divert attention if you've a bad hair day/ makeup-less/ dressed so plain you're even plainer than jane wtf

to me, nail art covers up and hides MY flaws: chipping nails wtf

so, if you're broke / poor/ frugal and wanted so despoly to conceal your flaws ...

try making options for yourself...

Guide to looking good the frugal way:

1) head on over to budget shops, we have good ones in Malaysia that sells cheap, CHEAP crystals. ( not swaroski, but it still blings!) e.g.: Daiso (everything is rm 5!!) , s&m

RM 4.5 only (np: RM 9 oso cheap de, still 50% off)

2) buy basic colours for nail polish... it goes a loooong way. b4 adding more to your collection of course. basics never run outta style ... e.g: white, clear, black ...

3) start being creative !

the tools (the tweezers i got for rm 5 from Daiso, not sure if anywhere else is cheaper than that la)


i used the sponge technique...

like the splish splash of paints

1) paint on clear polish
2) blue polish on top of sponge , then SPONGE it!
3) red on top of blue
4) start sticking with crystals !!



p.s: you may use base coat to stick your crystals, the glue will adhere better but it'll be too much of adherence that you may need a glue remover to clean off the residues after your crysts are off...

me and not-so-beloved chipping-and-still-chipping nails

2 hands with different patterns

decided i need more bling

i can't decide if it's fugly or it's art

anyways, arts are ugly ain't it? and ugly is the art
so, i think it's an art... so subjective, wtf

anyways, done it like less than 15 mins whatdya expect
i'll figure better designs after i get my free time

to note: you need not to be perfect when doing this, cause ppl won't go staring eye-to-nail at your art. so imperfection is acceptable... don't need to clean and crack your eyes to paint in perfect.
